“By doing this, YouTube is being complicit in silencing the voices of Palestinian victims,” said Basel al-Sourani, an international advocacy officer for PCHR, the oldest human rights organization in Gaza.

According to our analysis, YouTube's decision to delete the accounts amounts to the loss of more than 700 videos, many of which documented Israel's alleged war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. @theintercept.com

The new Israeli attacks prompted questions on whether the U.S. will actually hold Israel accountable for its ceasefire violations, "Or were they just there for decoration, and were they just going to allow the Israelis to get away with murder, as they always have?"

Big credit to @binaricorn.bsky.social for creating this haunting portrait and collage of Mohammed, and for Rayan El Amine for translating an Israeli police interrogation video from Arabic to English. theintercept.com/2025/10/26/m...

Mohammed's family has been sensitive not to frame the case as an Israel-Palestine issue as they lobby a pro-Israel U.S. govt. But the lack of results from the U.S. illustrates limitations of the expected privileges U.S. citizenship affords, particularly if you are Palestinian @theintercept.com

Prisoner advocates I spoke to described Israel's policy of childhood detention as a way to collectively punish whole families and an entire generation of Palestinian children. This underscores the idea that Mohammed's case+his cousins' killing aren't coincidence but a result of intentional policy:

Also, Mohammed's family have yet to tell him about the killing of his cousin, Sayfollah Musallet, 20, who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in July. The two were close and were planning to run their family's ice cream shop together in Tampa this summer:

If you're catching up to Mohammed's story, the teen has been incarcerated in Israel's prisons for more than EIGHT MONTHS, charged with throwing a rock at an Israeli car. He says his confession came after soldiers beat him and an interrogator threatening more violence

It's worth noting that the official figure for how many Palestinian children remain in Israeli custody (360, based on Israeli Prison Service reporting) likely does not reflect the reality of childhood detention, and is likely an undercount. I explain why here:

The government began to send out the memo to service providers Friday afternoon, directing children who accept to set up a meeting with ICE, where the kids must sign a voluntary removal document that waives their rights, in exchange for the cash payment.
