Last week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she would vote against any military aid to Israel, even weapons deemed “defensive.” As support for Israel craters across the U.S., the issue of military aid has become the latest litmus test for Democrats.

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, Israel launched a massive bombing campaign across Lebanon, killing hundreds of people and threatening to derail the U.S.-Iranian ceasefire before it even begins.

Israel has stated it does not plan to leave Lebanon even if the current ‘war’ ends. If the Gaza model is any guide, Israel appears to be moving toward expanding its border into Lebanon.

The plan to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani was the result of a years-long harassment campaign against the activist, carried out by a wide network of Zionist organizations and elected officials who have promoted violence against Palestinians.

Benjamin Anthony’s speech at New York’s influential Park Avenue Synagogue, where he argued that U.S. Jews need to support ethnic cleansing in Gaza, illustrates how the American Jewish community has embraced Israeli racism and brutality.

The passing of the recent Israeli death penalty law aimed at Palestinians formalizes what Israel and colonial powers have always done: creating new laws to legalize colonial violence.

“Israel is seeking to exploit the war … to impose new realities and facts on Jerusalem,” says Greek Orthodox Archbishop Attalah Hanna. “[This] is an attack on Jerusalem, its identity, its history, its heritage as Christian and Islamic holy sites.”

Alexander Heifler, accused of plotting to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani, was part of a group influenced by Meir Kahane and the Jewish Defense League. What is the JDL, who is Kahane, and how do they continue to inspire Zionist violence?

An 18-month-old toddler in Gaza was returned by the Israeli army to his family with burn marks and puncture wounds on his legs. Doctors say the wounds are clearly the result of torture while the child was detained with his father.
