Israeli education minister Naftali Bennett coined a better word for “self-hating Jew” — “auto-anti-Semite.” We come up with a checklist of 10 signs for Jews that you are showing insufficient love of the Jewish people and need to get deprogrammed, beginning with, “You don’t look at old movies and tell your partner, You know, his real name was Julius Garfinkle!”

American Muslims for Palestine has just posted a great new video on the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, Senate 720, making clear the stakes in this legislation: The US Congress is selling out our right to free speech to the highest bidder, and to lobbyists.

Defenses of Linda Sarsour, the Palestinian-American activist attacked as an anti-Zionist by the New York Times, are popping up everywhere. Bob Bland, co-organizer with Sarsour of the Women’s March, writes: “As a cis-heterosexual white woman new to feminist activism, I found that there were times in planning the January march that were uncomfortable.” But she says coalitions of the oppressed and marginalized are essential to taking on Trump.

Last night heavily armed Israeli forces raided the home of Palestinian activist Badee Dwaik and attacked him, because Dwaik was planning to go to nonviolent protests today in the villages of Khurssa and Dura outside Hebron. Where is the U.S. outrage against the treatment of nonviolent Palestinian activists by our closest ally?

Islamic hospital in occupied East Jerusalem calls on international organizations to intervene to protect the hospital from raids by Israeli security forces, “roaming Hospital corridors under the pretext of looking for injured Palestinians.”

Israeli musicians write an open letter to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke asking him to honor the Palestinian BDS call and cancel the band’s upcoming concert in Israel: “Israel is increasingly notorious for being a place that forward-thinking artists who care about equality and freedom want little to do with. We are confident that this reality will contribute to moving the Israeli government to change its unjust policies, and help convince companies to divest from Israel, just as they did in apartheid South Africa. Canceling your show will disrupt the ‘business as usual’ facade that international performances in Israel perpetuate. Please reconsider violating the Palestinian call for boycott.”

Badia Dwaik, the Palestinian coordinator of Human Rights Defenders Group along with several others from the Hebron-based Palestinian organization Dismantle the Ghetto, were invited to the home of Mufeed Sharabati for the first meal after sundown during the Ramadan month. In typical iftar fashion, a full spread was packed up by Dwaik and company including a large maqloube, a Palestinian meal of rice, vegetables, and chicken that is flipped upside down from a cooking pot when it’s ready to serve—maqloube literally means “upside down” in Arabic.

Yet the iftar dinner among friends grew complicated when Dwaik and the others were denied entry through the Hebron checkpoint that divides the city in two—the maqloube was also not allowed through the checkpoint.

“Do our prisoners have to experience martyrdom to achieve the most basic of rights and do we have to be reunited with them once they are corpses instead of welcoming them home alive?!” Read a letter written by mothers of Palestinian prisoners to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of activists, organized by a coalition of Palestinian, Israeli and International organizations joined the families of Sarura to rebuild their village and create the “Sumud Freedom Camp.” The camp is located in an Israeli military firing zone on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Sarura, where families were expelled by Israeli forces in the 1990’s. The activists want to show a grassroots counterpoint to the high-level political process and U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel/Palestine this upcoming week. The event also aims to mark 50 years of the 1967 occupation.

“I have to acknowledge that I was also crying for the loss of my innocent past, a time when the story of Israel was simple, when I could count on the ultimate success of my heroic people” — the late Marty Federman, commenting on the movie Exodus in 2011, when he had an unblinking view of Israel’s human rights abuses.
