The German government now intends to put into law to punish Germans with up to 5 years in jail if they deny Israel's "right to exist".
Such a law would of course very likely violate the German constitution, like virtually everything the current German government does these days. And Germany already has a law that protects anyone from incitement and hate against the group they belong to, including jews. A law that specifically protects Israel no matter what Israel does serves of course only to suppress valid criticism of genocide and Israel's hard-right course who currently want to attack Iran *again*. In a country that respects its own constitution, this planned law would never even have been proposed.
As I write this, Germany's foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, is on visit in Israel, Germany's "good and close friend", to "keep communications channels open" as public hostility towards Israel increases.
And Germany's minister of the interior, Alexander Dobrindt, and the federal presidents of Germany's police have had multiple visits in Israel, Germany's "natural partner", to start training each other's police and to learn from Israel how it controls a population in an apartheid state using technology and AI (the real, working all-too-well AI, like computer vision, not the LLMs that are sold to us as "AI").
Journalist and activist Andrey Khrzhanovsky reports on the Israeli army's metal gates across the occupied West Bank, which Israeli forces use to seal off Palestinian cities, towns, and villages, at times keeping them closed for days and even weeks.
Report: Spain's National Court has opened an investigation into senior Israeli military officials over the illegal detention of activists from the Global Sumud flotilla.
Complaints filed against Military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir & Navy Commander Ram Rothberg included allegations of forcible control of vessels, property damage, illegal detention, incl detainees being subjected to torture & denied legal, etc. assistance.
But don’t blindly look at a Gaza Verified link and assume it’s correct. Check the verified account against the actual account name of the account you’re trying to support. Make sure they match.
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan
Extremist Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian farmlands in Turmusayya, occupied West Bank.
This is not an isolated crime, as groups of Israeli settlers have repeatedly vandalized Palestinian agricultural fields, vehicles, and properties across the West Bank.
According to UN OCHA data, over 1,400 settlers attacks recorded in 2024 and more than 1,000 in the first part of 2025 alone, many involving arson and resulting in significant property damage and expelling of Palestinians from their homes and lands.
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza.
Genocidal Israelis and their Zionist enablers everywhere: we see you, we are taking notes, and we will not forget. You will face justice. If not today, tomorrow.
For the third day in a row, I haven't been able to provide lunch for my children. 💔 We're surviving on tea and biscuits only. We urgently need $200 to buy food and cooking gas. If you can donate any amount, or even just share this post, it would mean so much to us.🙏 gofund.me/d0cc0587 #Israel #Palestine #Gaza @apenkop @sasha @denissalem.

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
Israeli occupation soldiers assaulted an elderly Palestinian man and several women today east of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
UAW delegates voted to divest the union’s reported $400,000 in Israel Bonds, making it the first major U.S. union to do so. Organizers say it’s a victory for international solidarity and a sign of the working class's growing rejection of Israel.

France’s political elites have made vague criticisms of Benjamin Netanyahu but refused to denounce the genocide in Gaza. Now left-wing lawmaker Rima Hassan has been dragged to trial because she defends Palestinians’ right to resist occupation.
Report: Hind Rajab Foundation has welcomed reports that Israeli genocider Itamar Ben-Gvir has cancelled his planned trip to NY for a UN policing conference.
He cancelled the trip following calls for his prosecution & planned anti-genocide demonstrations.
Israeli leaders have travelled the world expecting impunity. That expectation is beginning to erode.

This week offered a clear example of how elected officials in Washington, D.C., bend their own rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel. Political results outside Washington this week also showed us why this may soon change.
These are a group of children who survived the genocide.
Today, they are studying at the school I established thanks to your support.
They all received perfect scores on their spelling test, and we would like to give them small prizes to encourage them to keep learning and working hard.

Election wins prove pro-Palestine US campus protests didn’t fail: Activists
"In New York, Darializa Avila Chevalier, an activist who participated in the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University, won a Democratic congressional primary against a five-term incumbent.
Avila Chevalier’s win was one of several victories for pro-Palestine candidates in New York last week.
Last year, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, in part thanks to the efforts of young pro-Palestine activists who powered his campaign.
In Colorado on Tuesday, Melat Kiros, who was fired from her law firm in 2023 for a letter defending Palestinian rights supporters from accusations of anti-Semitism, ousted a House member who had been in Congress for nearly 30 years.
Candidates backed by supporters of Palestinian rights also won key races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey."
The Israeli settler movement and its allies in the government have submitted a plan to build 100 new outposts in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. The move would effectively eliminate the Oslo Accords.
Spain becomes the first EU state to blacklist Palantir, the US firm whose AI targeting software has powered Israel's mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

“While I was in Beirut another doctor told me the story of a child from Gaza who, after coming to Lebanon, learned that a man had died a natural death. The child did not understand. He did not know that death could come this way. It had to be explained to him, that people die of old age. The only cause of death the child knew was Israel. And he knew it well.”
Many people outside still can't believe what's happening in Gaza,
or think it's confined to a specific area — and we've seen this a lot on social media.
But the truth?
The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south.
Gaza today isn't a city; #Gaza today is the remnants of life.
There's no "living" in Gaza… only a "struggle to survive."
Houses are rubble.
Streets are graveyards.
Electricity, water, internet… are now memories and lost luxuries.
Hospitals? Paralyzed.
Schools? They've become temporary shelters, or they've been destroyed.
Electricity?
Since the first days of the war, it's been cut off.
A very small segment of the population has access to solar power, and it's become a resource for people… but at a price.
Can you imagine?
Your phone battery is dead? You have to pay 2 shekels to recharge it.
Power banks? 3 shekels.
A large battery? 7 shekels.
Everything has a price, even charging, even electricity.
And the prices? Insane and unbelievable!
The internet?
There's no home internet.
There are temporary cards sold by people who have electricity and internet.
The card costs between 1 and 5 shekels (half a dollar to a dollar and a half), depending on the time and speed.
And the cost of living?
A kilo of tomatoes = 20 shekels ($5.50)
A kilo of cucumbers = 25 shekels ($7)
A kilo of potatoes = 50 shekels ($13 – if you can even find them) A kilo of eggplant = 30 shekels ($8)
A single cigarette? From 50 to 120 shekels ($13–$32!)
A loaf of bread? Almost nonexistent, and flour is running out.
Some people have resorted to smoking wild herbs, adding nicotine, carbonation, sugar, and sometimes pesticides and toxic substances… just to give it a flavor!
So, how are people surviving?
Some have nothing.
Some cook over wood fires.
Some eat one meal a day or less.
Some grow parsley or lettuce, or anything to stave off starvation.
Some make soup with water and onions…
And some don't eat at all.
No food, no gas, not enough flour.
Prices are sky-high, and people have nothing.
A kilo of ordinary vegetables is now more expensive than in European cities.
And a single cigarette is more expensive than a large meal for an entire family!
The water?
It's polluted, salty, and undrinkable.
People filter it using primitive methods, boil it, or drink it contaminated because “there's no alternative.”
The gas?
It's been cut off for over a month and a half.
People cook over wood fires, charcoal, or anything that will ignite.
The health situation?
There aren't enough medicines, no well-equipped hospitals, no medical equipment, and not enough staff.
And people get sick… and wait for death in silence.
Israel is stoking a financial crisis in the West Bank by withholding funds from the PA. Among the sectors most affected is education, where teachers' salaries have been cut, and classes have been shuttered. The impacts might last a generation.

Today, I distributed pineapples to the students. They had never known this fruit except in cans, and tasting fresh pineapple for the first time was a wonderful experience for them.
This was possible thanks to your donations and sharing our posts.
Report: British Medical Association drops IHRA definition of antisemitism over healthcare workers being punished for expressing their views.
NHS England formally adopted the IHRA definition in October 2025.
The IHRA definition "risks conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, potentially restricting legitimate political speech & advocacy for Palestinian rights."
The British Medical Association (BMA) has voted to drop the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, saying it had a “chilling effect” on free speech in the workplace.
