Many many people in this country cannot recognize Islamophobia because they are swimming so deeply in it on a daily basis and have so internalized it that it isn't actually legible to them as racism. It's why it's so casually deployed in a way that other forms of racism in the country are not.

This appeal by Palestinians to recipients of the Dan David Prize to reject the award to help dismantle Israel's system of apartheid was penned three years ago. The need to reject these prizes has never been more urgent. bdsmovement.net/news/palesti...

The first 14 days of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran assault released over 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This is more than the annual emissions of mid-sized economies like Iceland or Kuwait, and roughly the same as dozens of the lowest emitters together.

Israel has been doing a lot besides bombing Iran. From the killing of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to the bombing of cities across Lebanon, Zeteo’s Mohammed Abdelbary looks at some of the most dire headlines that didn’t make it to the first page this week. Subscribe to zeteo.com

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Happening now: Port Workers & Communities For Palestine are at Maher Terminal in Elizabeth, NJ as part of an outreach campaign to truckers & longshoremen to get them to stop moving ZIM, a major Israeli shipping company carrying weapons & ammo used to commit genocide in Gaza.

Has every New York mayoral candidate who vowed to go to Israel been forced to answer to the mountain of genocidal statements top Israeli officials have said in the past 20 months? The current, ongoing US tax-funded genocide of our times?

Trump told the entire 10 million population of Tehran to evacuate; said the US has "total control" of the skies over Iran; threatened to kill Iran's leader; and posted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have not said a word yet.

Its World Press Freedom Day Israel has killed the most media workers in history - average of 13 journalists killed a month. Hossam, Jabr, Fatima, Hilma, Hamza, Hisham, Ismail, Rami, Fady, Ayet... And spit on all the cowardly liberal media & zionist mouthpieces manufacturing consent for genocide.

Prof. Khalidi: "Columbia barely merits the name of a university, since its teaching & scholarship on the Middle East, & soon much else, will...be vetted by a “senior vice provost for inclusive pedagogy”, in reality a senior vice provost for Israeli propaganda." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Does Columbia still merit the name of a university? | Rashid Khalidi

Columbia has long been run more as a business empire than as an educational institution. Now it’s acting like Vichy on the Hudson

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?
