"We don't believe in the rule of the infidels, and we don't show up in their recruitment offices."
A group of Israeli men were seen celebrating the wedding of the nephew of Israel's minister of construction Yitzhak Goldknopf, singing the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta anthem against being drafted into the Israeli army in a video shared on X, formerly Twitter
Goldknopf, a member of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, took to X to apologise after the video sparked a backlash from members of the government coalition who called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remove the minister from his post."

Whoever told you it's a war on Jews, that's it religious.
IT IS
but it's the other way round. It's a war on Islam caried out by #IDF and #Netanyahu.

Videos posted on Social media show Israeli drones reportedly opening fire on Palestinian houses in the early hours of Eid al-Fitr in Gaza.
As Palestinians prepared to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli air strikes on Gaza killed at least nine people - including five children.
The dawn attacks struck as families were either asleep or getting ready for Eid celebrations, witnesses told Middle East Eye."

"Mar 8, 2025
Around 100 demonstrators gathered on Low Steps Thursday afternoon for a protest organized by Columbia Palestine Solidarity Coalition and Student Workers of Columbia-United Auto Workers.
Protesters condemned Barnard’s decision to call the New York Police Department to campus during a Wednesday sit-in and called on the college to reverse student expulsions.
The protest follows a sit-in in the Milstein Center on Wednesday, when NYPD officers entered Barnard’s campus following a reported bomb threat in the building and arrested nine individuals for charges including trespass and disorderly conduct.
NYPD officers set up metal barricades in front of Barnard’s main gates, where demonstrators stood and chanted after walking to the Barnard entrance from Columbia’s campus.

"Why Israel is waging war on Palestinian children | Soumaya Ghannoushi | MEE Opinion" [9:44 min]
by MiddleEastEye

youtube.com/watch?v=cSz4vKRagw

Quote by MEE:
"Mar 29, 2025
Soumaya Ghannoushi, a British Tunisian writer and expert on Middle East politics, examines Israel’s systematic war against Palestinian children. From Gaza to the West Bank, she documents the unrelenting violence that has killed over 18,000 children since October 2023 - not as collateral damage, but as a consequence of deliberate policy.
Ghannoushi paints scenes of unbearable horror: children hauling younger siblings through the ruins of their homes; names written on tiny arms so bodies might later be identified; babies killed in their sleep. She details how Palestinian children are enduring mass starvation, the spread of disease, and amputations carried out without anaesthetic - evidence, she argues, of a campaign not merely to kill, but to cripple the very future of Palestine.
She exposes how Israeli leaders and media dehumanise Palestinian children, labelling them “terrorists” to legitimise their deaths. This language, she argues, is no accident - it is a calculated strategy: deny childhood, and you deny sympathy. Even international media often echo this erasure, refusing to acknowledge imprisoned Palestinian minors as children at all.
Tracing a line from the Deir Yassin massacre of 1948 to today’s bombings of schools and family homes, Ghannoushi contends that this violence is not new. It is doctrine - now honed to target memory, identity, and the very concept of Palestine itself.
Yet amid the devastation, Palestinian children endure. They dream among ruins, play beside graves, and inherit from their elders the memory of a land they refuse to forget. In that survival, Ghannoushi sees a powerful act of resistance - and in their defiance, the deepest threat to Israel’s project of erasure.
“As long as there are children,” she writes, “Palestine lives.”

"Free Palestine is also rooted in your protection, my loves" [jewish people]
"Never Again means never again for all. Have we've not learned our lesson my loves"

That's where I step in:
I got a load of reactions to the #NeverAgain that I use.
My response: how dare you claim that phrase for only one [your] people. Have you not learned the lesson history taught you ?

Now to the video, be sure to wait for that second half. On white supremacy.

"Macklemore - HIND'S HALL - The Free Palestine Song" [6:32 min]
by Emma Audrey

youtube.com/watch?v=X08SH1MBBx

Quote by EA: trans by Google from French
"May 10, 2024
This latest Macklemore melody is just incredible. I translated it into French so everyone can understand its message. I don't know how this melody will be received by streaming platforms, but it's definitely the most "Rage Against the Machine" melody of the last decades... Enjoy!
"Hind's Hall" is a protest song by American rapper Macklemore, released as a single on May 6, 2024. Written and produced by Macklemore, it expresses his support for pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses calling for divestment from Israel and a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
The song's title refers to pro-Palestinian activists' "renaming" of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University to "Hind's Hall" in honor of Hind Rajab, the six-year-old Palestinian girl exiled by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. In the song, Macklemore criticizes US funding to Israel; he describes the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories as apartheid.
Hind Rajab's murder by the Israeli military occurred on January 29, 2024, in the Gazan neighborhood of Tel al-Hawa. The girl was the sole survivor of Israeli tank fire on the vehicle in which she and her family had fled.
Rajab's family was fleeing the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City when an Israeli army tank fired on their vehicle, killing Rajab's aunt, uncle, and four cousins. The only other survivor, Rajab's 15-year-old cousin, called the Palestine Red Crescent Society for urgent help in a recorded phone call, crying and screaming that Israeli forces were shooting at them amidst the sound of gunfire before stopping when she was killed.
Six-year-old Rajab was the only survivor in the car at the time, surrounded by her family's bodies, and her three-hour emergency phone call with the Red Crescent was released, in which she told the operator: "I'm so scared, please come. Come, take me. Please, will you come?" Hind was eventually killed by the Israeli military.
A Red Crescent ambulance was sent to rescue Rajab, who was attacked by Israeli forces, killing two Red Crescent medics, Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, in a deliberate attack, according to the organization, despite Israel being informed of its dispatch.
Israel claimed its troops were not near the vehicle in which Rajab was killed, however, Al Jazeera and the Washington Post refuted Israel's claims, basing their investigations on satellite imagery."

Meanwhile Netanyahu, pushing to dismiss internal security chief Ronen Bar, on Monday alleged an attempt to bring down his government after Israeli media reported Bar's agency spent months probing far-right infiltration of the police."
