The Israeli Embassy is circulating a letter in Washington making several misleading claims about the 16-year-old American child held in Israeli military detention, ahead of his Nov. 9 court hearing, Jasper Nathaniel reports.

jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz 🧵In response to mounting pressure on US lawmakers to demand the release of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim—the 16-year-old American held in Israeli military detention since February—and ahead of his next court hearing on November 9, the Israeli Embassy in Washington is circulating a letter on Capitol Hill filled with disinformation and key omissions meant to erode support for his case. jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h For starters, the Embassy letter asserts as fact that Mohammed “threw rocks at vehicles belonging to Israeli citizens.” As proof, it cites his “confession” on the night of his arrest—leaving out that, in a sworn affidavit, Mohammed wrote: “The interrogator threatened that if I did not comply, he would instruct the soldiers to beat me. Out of sheer fear, I ultimately confessed.” jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h The letter also omits that the interrogation took place after soldiers stormed his home at 3 a.m., blindfolded him, tied his hands behind his back, and—according to his sworn affidavit—beat him with rifle butts in a military vehicle, continuing the assault at Ofer Prison. He had no lawyer or guardian present during questioning. jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h The Embassy letter claims Mohammed “has been under weekly BMI monitoring,” conveniently leaving out that on April 22, a prison medical report recorded him as having “low BMI.” His attorney at the time said he had lost roughly a third of his body weight. The letter also alleges he “received routine medical examinations,” yet prison records show no update until July 17—when he was diagnosed with scabies and placed in “medical isolation” four days later.] jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h The Embassy letter also omits everything about the horrific conditions of Mohammed’s detention—overcrowded cells, no heating or cooling, meager food, and severely limited bathing and outdoor time—conditions consistently documented across his sworn affidavit, Israeli press reports, human rights groups, and even Ben-Gvir’s own public boasts. In September, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled the prison system wasn’t providing enough food to ensure “a basic level of existence.” jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h The Embassy letter says: “The defendant’s father was present at both hearings. At the first hearing via video conference, and at the second hearing in the courtroom.” In reality, Zaher has never been in the same room as his son. Both times, he saw Mohammed only through a video screen. During the hearing on October 29, a soldier slapped Mohammed’s hand down when he tried to wave at the security camera. jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · 7h In one moment of honesty, the Embassy letter admits that Mohammed has been forbidden from seeing his family under an “emergency order” applied to “security” prisoners—a euphemism Israel uses to justify indefinitely cutting children off from their parents.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

I still haven't seen any answer that makes sense to me. Why is an opinion journalist running CBS News as editor in chief? How did that happen, and what is the logic of that appointment? It still isn't clear to me.

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

lot to unpack here
Paula White-Cain took a somewhat different position when defending the Trump administration’s border separation policy and detention of immigrants. According to her, it’s true that Jesus was a refugee because he lived in Egypt for three and a half years. “But it was not illegal,” she insists. “If he had broken the law, then he would have been sinful and he would not have been our Messiah.

I'm starting to think that a cultural boycott is actually the most humane way to pressure a country like Israel. It's not coercive. It doesn't cost any lives. It barely even costs any livelihoods. The impact is powerful but almost entirely psychological.

SORRY, YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING, BUT HAVE WE ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDED THAT IT IS WRONG TO COLLECTIVELY PUNISH A CIVILIAN POPULATION FOR THE ACTIONS OF A BODY THAT CLAIMS TO SPEAK AND ACT ON THEIR BEHALF?
Kallas suggested she did not support attempts to exclude Israel from Eurovision, after Spain became the latest country to say it would boycott the song contest if Israel took part. Asked about the issue, she said EU measures were intended to put pressure on the Israeli government to change course on Gaza, not to punish Israel or the Israeli people. “All these steps that go to the direction of punishing Israeli people, I think are wrong and we are not really proposing them,” she said.

Ezra Klein is trying in this column to argue that Kirk was doing politics correctly if you just ignore the content of what he was advocating. That he was contributing to American democracy by arguing civilly for the subjugation of women, gay people, trans people. It simply doesn’t work.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression.

It's not a justice system if the biggest bullies can opt out, as a matter of fact, it then becomes a tool for those bullies to oppress others
