Jonathan is intensely dedicated and honest, hope he heals up fast.
Activist Jonathan Pollak was injured in the same West Bank protest where U.S. Citizen Sayfollah Musallet was killed by Israeli settlers on Friday.

Israeli soldiers and law enforcement at no point attempted to detain those "who had just been involved in killing someone," he says.

This is where the doctor from Brookline killed 29 people in the early 90s. The machinegun divots are still in the walls.
Israeli settlers held a wedding ceremony inside the Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, one of the holiest and most sensitive religious sites for both Muslims and Jews. The event took place under Israeli military protection and was widely perceived by Palestinians as a provocative act.

Actually, this will be more like a Warsaw ghetto,
Israel calls it a “humanitarian city.” We call it what it is: a concentration camp.

Israel’s Defense Minister plans to force over 2 million Palestinians into a closed zone in Southern Gaza with no way out.

The world said “Never Again.”
So why is it happening again?
SPEAK OUT. ACT NOW.

What "one off" did Iran get in return?
The outlet cites a senior Iranian political source who said Washington conveyed this message in advance, describing the attacks as a “one-off” aimed at avoiding broader escalation.

This is how the US kills countries, Israel is just the sharp end of the US empire spear.

Must really hurt at the Times to have to report that an actual "kill you back" country is doing exactly that when attacked by the global north using Israel as it's genocide weapon. Even your crap genocide complicit coverage can't help but show /state the obvious.
Israeli fighter jets bombarded the Iranian capital of Tehran, while Iran launched deadly volleys of ballistic missiles at Israel. Many people in both countries rose Sunday after a fearful, sleepless night under attack. Follow live updates.
Live Updates: Israel and Iran Exchange Strikes in Deadliest Day So Far
Fire engulfed Tehran’s main fuel depot and hundreds of missiles rained down on Israel, some eluding the country’s sophisticated aerial defenses.

This is a feature, not a bug, it's the US Pravda
I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Massive destruction from an Iranian missile in Rishon LeZion. Unclear if this is part of the large military base in the town or just adjacent to it.

here's what the NY TImes really meant:

"with full global north backing, Israel kidnapped in internatinal waters a group of 12 human rights workers who were bringing much needed supplies to Gaza, a place being purposely starved by Israel. All of Israel's actions are crimes against humanity.
Israel said on Monday it had intercepted a Gaza-bound ship carrying aid and a dozen people, including Greta Thunberg. The civilian ship, called the Madleen, has been operating under a group that opposes the nearly two-decade-old blockade of Gaza. Here's what to know.

this is the norm for fascism, make tyrannical laws under the myth of "democracy" and have them enforced by government violence, any protest or push back will be met by "state sanctioned violence and repression - almost always.
David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City.

Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles.
