One of #MahmoudKhalil’s lawyers, Amy Greer, criticized the #Trump admin’s legal maneuvering as “cruel, transparent delay tactics” meant to keep her client away from his wife & newborn son ahead of their first Father’s Day as a family.
“Instead of celebrating together, he is languishing in #ICE #detention as punishment for his advocacy on behalf of his fellow #Palestinians,” she said in a stmnt. “It is unjust, it is shocking, & it is disgraceful.”
It's fucking wild how every bit of coverage on #CNN is presented from the #Israeli perspective.
They just launched an unprovoked attack & kill mission against #Iran in yet another violation of #international law.
This is literally an act of #war.

Great piece on how one settler-colonial state #China, supports another settled-colonial state, #Israel, in quietly helping fund the displacement of #Palestinians.
Shouldn't be a surprise except to tankies.

"Hamas has killed at least 50 members of a #Palestinians gang in Gaza armed by Israel...
The gang... known for criminal activity, said in a press statement that Hamas killed “over 50 of our volunteers” while (ed. It continues laughably) they “guarded aid convoys and redistributed supplies that were otherwise destined for corrupt entities linked to Hamas”.

"In late May, UCSF terminated Rupa Marya following a nine-month suspension from the elite medical school based on social media posts in which she criticized #Israel’s genocide in #Gaza.... As a part of her dismissal, UCSF officials will place a letter of censure in Marya’s file for 10 years, which she said will likely damage her ability to seek future employment and continue practicing medicine.

Nearly 50 people have been reported killed and 300 others wounded in incidents near the Israeli-backed distribution center, which was designed to keep food out of the hands of Hamas.

"The rollout of the new aid effort over the past week by the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation, an effort conceived in #Israel and endorsed by the US, was supposed to help #Palestinians get aid while keeping it out of the hands of #Hamas.
Instead the effort, criticized by multiple aid groups and the UN, has devolved into scenes of chaos and death. The #NewYorkTimes spoke to eight witnesses who described how attempting to reach the sites had become a life-threatening endeavor."

"It's an order—destroy the neighborhood so Arabs can't return"
Israel's destruction of Gaza’s schools
Sami Vanderlip and Younis Tirawi
Jun 06, 2025
"“You just need to destroy the neighborhood, so that they can’t come back there. Why to destroy? That’s the mission; that’s what I carry out.”
Those are the words of an Israeli sergeant from the 432 Tzabar Battalion of the #GivatiBrigade who spoke to #DropSiteNews on condition of anonymity due to #Israeli military policy. Givati was one of the brigades involved in implementing the General’s Plan—a policy devised by former General Giora Eiland that used the lack of access to water, food, and medicine as a weapon of war to force the besieged #Palestinians in the north of #Gaza to starve or surrender."

Tell Congress: Support the Block the Bombs Act.

[#JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP]
June 5, 2025
On June 5, Members of #Congress introduced the first ever bill that proactively seeks to prevent the U.S. from sending some of the worst weapons to the #Israeli military.
Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (Illinois) along with Representatives Sara Jacobs (California), Pramila Jayapal (Washington), and Mark Pocan (Wisconsin) led 18 other members of #USCongress in introducing the Block the Bombs Act, historic legislation that would prevent #Trump from sending some of the worst-offender weapons that #Israel has used to carry out genocide against #Palestinians in #Gaza.
Tell your member of Congress to join the Block the Bombs Act today.

Over 50 Swiss diplomats are urging Bern to recognize Palestine and cut all ties with Tel Aviv’s military regime.
The former diplomats also call for a halt to any Swiss financial investment linked to the Israeli military or intelligence sectors, emphasizing that #Switzerland must not be "financially or institutionally complicit in a military regime engaged in the mass killing and displacement of #Palestinians."
They further urge the Swiss government to ban the entry of individuals wanted by the International Criminal Court (#ICC), including Israeli occupation officials and Israeli settlers convicted of acts of violence. The letter specifically notes the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant as a legal basis for such measures.
In a shift from traditional Swiss policy, the former diplomats call for the immediate recognition of the State of #Palestine. They urge Bern to join the 148 #UN member states that have already taken this step, describing recognition as a moral and legal imperative amid what they identify as a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.
"Beyond targeting the mere content of speech, these efforts are meant to forestall even the acknowledgment of Palestinian life. Our mere identity as #Palestinians is controversial, we are told; not even our children, not even our dead, can be celebrated or memorialized." - Jennifer Zacharia

As reports of disarray at aid distribution sites emerged during the project’s first week, Moore said the effort was “working” & should be “celebrated.”
When the Gazan health authorities reported shooting deaths near one of the foundation’s sites, Moore reposted a statement from #MikeHuckabee accusing the news #media & #Hamas of spreading #misinformation.
