The 27 members pressing the Trump admin to free an American teen from Israeli detention cite a similar case as warning:

17-year-old Palestinian Walid Ahmad, like Mohammed, was detained for months without charges, facing abuse & poor conditions.

In March, he collapsed and died.
NEW — 27 members of Congress press Marco Rubio & Mike Huckabee to free Palestinian-American teen Mohammed Ibrahim from Israeli detention.

They also note Israeli settlers killed Mohammed's cousin, Sayfollah, a 20-year-old US citizen, in July — and Israeli authorities haven't arrested anyone for it.

From all of the stuff you’re heard today, THIS is the key phrase:

Trump: If Hamas rejects the deal which is always possible, as you know Bibi, you'll have our full backing to do what you got to do.

Ohio State history professor Hasan Kwame Jeffries — Hakeem Jeffries’s brother — is on Charlie Kirk’s professor watchlist, and he has some interesting quotes in this!
Some say Charlie Kirk did Politics the right way, that he was an authoritative champion of free speech and discourse.

Part of that “Politics” is a 1200-person Professor Watchlist that’s led to harassment, censoring, cancellation campaigns, and death threats.
Politics ‘The Right Way’? How Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist Censors and Harasses Academics of Color
The years-old 1200-name blacklist has ruined professors’ lives, chilled speech, and previewed exactly how the Trump administration is responding to Kirk’s killing today.

When Yamtits says “you don’t take on a nation 10 times your size” he means when Russia INVADED Ukraine, they should’ve laid down and let the Russians have their way.

It’s not something you would expect the leader of the free world to say.

It’s what you would expect a dictator to say.

Or a rapist.
