Full text of the resignation letter of Lily Greenberg Call, the first Jewish Biden appointee to resign over the war in Gaza:
Dear Secretary Haaland,
I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet, and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision.

University Professors Are Losing Their Jobs Over “New McCarthyism” on Gaza
As brutal police repression sweeps campus encampments, schools have been cutting ties with pro-Palestine faculty members without tenure.Natasha Lennard (The Intercept)

These are my greatgrandparents, and the female survivors of Nakba. They survived only because they were in Lebanon for a cousin's wedding.
At one point, my family was one of the oldest, largest, and wealthiest families in the Levant. We built soap factories that were Unesco heritage sites until the IDF leveled them. We built universities and houses of worship. We had trade routes stretching from China to Persia. When Britain brought Nazi survivors to Palestine, my family built them homes, a temple and a school.
They were repaid by the Irgun waiting until the patriarch was away, then they lined up every male between newborn and death, and shot them. The women were forced to leave with nothing but what they could carry. All of their assets were seized.
We will never forget. After this latest massacre, we will never forgive. #Gaza #Palestine #Nakba
The comments that got him fired:
“We will not be intimidated, especially when we are trying to stop a genocide,” he told the house.
“Any time police officers resort to the use of force against non-violent protesters, they violate these principles and undermine the consent and respect necessary for the police to do their job.”

Palestinian hauliers said on Tuesday they feared for the security of aid convoys to Gaza, a day after Israeli protesters wrecked trucks carrying humanitarian supplies bound for the enclave, which is facing a severe hunger crisis.
Footage shows at least one burning truck while other images showed trucks wrecked and stripped of their loads, which lay strewn over the road near Tarqumiya checkpoint outside Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

After the protests and the library occupation at #Portland State, the university wanted police to monitor the 51st annual Naimuma Powwow, which was scheduled on campus for May 04. Organizers didn’t love that idea of having police there, so they rescheduled the powwow for May 25th.
Then something special happened: students and #Indigenous community members showed up on May 04 anyway, in the park blocks by the university, and held a spontaneous Powwow for #Palestine.

A Powwow for Palestine
When the annual powwow at Portland State University was pressured to have a police presence due to an encampment in support of Palestine, Native students and community members organized a powwow for Palestine and MMIR.www.underscore.news
Israeli children, likely belonging to communities of settlers and religious-messianic Jews, having fun destroying aid supplies meant for Gaza.
Useful context is that one of the most common one-liners I hear from Israelis, to this day, is: "the conflict will end when they stop teaching their children to hate us".
“Israeli northern city Haifa has long been touted as an Arab-Jewish mixed city. But tours following the lives of Palestinians living there before the establishment of Israel tell a more detailed reality.” Of 70,000 Palestinians, only 4,000 remained. Palestinians were expelled and someone else would just take over their houses and their belongings. Just like that….
A long fascinating article from Haaretz. #palestine @palestine
The student protest movement against Israel's genocide, apartheid and occupation in Palestine has now spread to Sweden, as encampments started popping up yesterday in cities like Stockholm, Örebro, Göteborg and Lund. The demands range from simply urging that the universities acknowledge the ongoing atrocities to calls for cutting all ties with weapon manufacturers and other organizations or individuals with ties to the ongoing occupation and genocide.
Power to the students! Free, free Palestine!

Israel is deliberately destroying the entire health sector in Gaza as only 4 hospitals remain operational. "If these hospitals stop working, they will turn into mass graves, like Nasser and al-Shifa," Muhammad Zaqout, General Director of Hospitals in Gaza, told Mondoweiss.

Hey, I’m thinking of setting up a new song contest where you can vote as many times you want for the contestant of your choice (but only 20 votes per credit card, we don’t want it to appear like a money grab after all). I’m also thinking it should be a safe space for apartheid states committing genocide. Oh wait, sorry, Eurovision already exists.

The main United Nations agency that aids Palestinians, known as UNRWA, said on Thursday that it had temporarily closed its headquarters in East Jerusalem for the safety of its staff after parts of the compound were set on fire following weeks of attacks.
“This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem,” said the leader of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, on social media.
