I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.

I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.

I know where my allegiance lies.

Visited the Kobe Muslim Mosque, Japan's oldest mosque built in 1935. The mosque survived the bombings in WW2 and remains in its original form.

My author recommended I visit it since it's only a 10 minute walk from Sannomiya station and near my hotel.

Al Jazeera reports that Israeli warplanes struck Gaza City at the same time Trump announced a ceasefire deal. Palestinians had been celebrating the truce, but raids continued. No casualties have yet been confirmed.

Israel has also been blowing up about 300 homes a day using explosive-laden APCs.

“The alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.”

"The very architecture of the UN, which gives the US and its allies significant power through the Security Council, would long serve an agenda of imperial encroachment."

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

The BBC reports on huge numbers of Afghan children starving to death after the US and its allies pulled the plug on aid.

That's the same US and its allies providing Israel with cover to starve children to death in Gaza.

Genocide lies deep in the West's colonial DNA.

Reminder that unlawful deportation or forcible transfer of the population of occupied territory are grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Meaning all parties to the treaty—every country—are under an obligation to prosecute or extradite the perpetrators.

Worth bearing in mind for Gaza.

BIG: The International Sociological Association has suspended Israeli public institutions over their refusal to condemn the genocide in Gaza — a major win for the academic boycott movement.

Sociologists are saying: silence is complicity.

In 1988, UNGA convened in Geneva instead of New York to hear PLO leader Yasser Arafat after the US refused to grant him a visa.

If the US refuses to change course, UNGA should consider doing the same once more-- not out of love for the PA or PLO, but out of respect for international law.
