Meet Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun. A long-time friend of Miriam Adelson, he has deep ties to the far-right of the Jewish community. Soon, he will be leading the charge to criminalize Palestine solidarity as Donald Trump’s envoy to “combat antisemitism.”

Mondoweiss writer D. Musa Springer was detained, interrogated, and had electronic devices confiscated by DHS agents upon returning from international travel. Here they detail their experience and warn it shows the Trump assault on dissent is expanding.

The Trump administration’s recent investigation of 60 schools for “antisemitic discrimination” appeared to target campus protests. But, a closer look shows it was driven by pro-Israel groups’ use of civil rights law to push a broad right-wing agenda.

The U.S. claims its attacks on Yemen are out of self-defense, and that it has the UN Security Council’s support. These are both lies. The lawlessness of the U.S. in support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza should send alarm bells across the globe.

On the same day ICE posted a social media graphic saying it is working to keep “illegal” ideas out of the US, a Louisiana immigration judge ruled the Trump administration could deport Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil for opposing the Gaza genocide.

The talks between Iran and the U.S. set to begin today have a chance to succeed if the Trump administration grounds its policy in the realities of Iran’s nuclear program, not fearmongering promoted by Israel and its allies.

Donald Trump’s surprising announcement that talks are starting with Iran gives the White House a pivotal choice: follow pro-Israel hawks calling for a military confrontation with Iran, or chart a diplomatic course that could avert a disastrous war.

Trump says the U.S. is engaging in direct talks with Iran on nuclear weapons and announced that there would be a “very big meeting” on April 12.

In a scathing letter, Mahmoud Khalil writes from an ICE detention center in Louisiana, blasting Columbia University’s role in his abduction and the targeting of other student activists by the Trump administration.

Recent aggressive moves by the Trump administration have clearly been meant to threaten Iran. While this pressure might be an attempt to intimidate Iran into nuclear concessions, the threat of all-out war appears to be growing by the day.
