Via Maximo Blumenthal: Schumer and another major New York-area Jewish Democrat, Rep. Anthony Weiner, have scrambled to appease the extreme pro-settler elements railing against Obama. On the radio show of Nachum Segal, a right-wing Orthodox Jew popular among the demonstrators, Schumer called Obama’s demands to stop the construction of settlements in East Jerusalem “counter-productive” and boasted about warning […] Credit: Max Ajl I wonder what words I can use to describe watching the murder of Ahmad Salem Deeb. To describe the way he and other young Palestinian men rushed forward well ahead of organizers, press, and internationals, without the gossamer protective shield we’re able to offer to the youth whom the Israeli army is clearly willing […] This is too much. These five students are “concerned with resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” Their method? Aquaculture. They want to use “creativity” to “resolve international tension” to “make the world better.” This is a beautiful sort of woolly commitment. Here is the thinking behind this project: However, in recent years this industry has suffered tremendously due to […] The first video is a compilation of footage from Vittorio Arrigoni, Bianca herself, and Adie Mormech. You can hear her getting shot and you can see that Bianca was filming Palestinians getting carried away after being shot right at the time that she was shot. The second clip is my (less useful) footage, uncut. A couple […] This photo? This photo is of Bianca about an hour after an IDF sniper shot a bullet through her left thigh from about 80 meters away to try to cripple her and scare the shit out of her and us so we wouldn’t go to subsequent demonstrations. Doubt that’s going to work, Bianca is usually 10 […] What are you seeing here? After an hour’s time to correctly set up this horrible act, Israeli military bulldozers and tanks entered Palestinian land and churned up winter wheat, rye, and lentils, because they could, because that’s how they punish the Palestinians living in Abasan Kabeer, Farraheen, and because Israeli strategy is to shrink the Gaza […] I meant to post this video of this beautiful action a little while ago. The French understand the power of memory. French activists have the organizational and mobilizational capacity to rent a riverboat. They aren’t powerful enough yet to prevent their country’s leaders from putting up such crappy plaques in the first place, but they will […] Another celebration of Israeli Independence Day. In New York, the Salute to Israel Parade is enlisting gullible kids from my elementary school to celebrate ethnic cleansing and politicide, giving them, once again, no hint that Israel Independence meant Nakba to the Palestinians, an intolerable act that should be compensated in kind: return of the refugees. In […] The razor-wire and concrete frontier between Israel and Gaza is intermittently interrupted by remote-controlled metal observation towers equipped with motion sensors. When the sensors detect something, the metal petals atop the towers peel back, blooming. A small bloom means the interior camera is peering around. A big bloom occurs when the people controlling the machine guns […] It does not devalue the lives or the deaths of white or Western heroes to say that we live in a racist world that refuses to know the names of heroes like Bassem Abu Rahma, that our world honors heroes with the resources to get on a jet-plane, that it honors less heroes that can never […] |
