Bob Feldman, who protested at Columbia University in 1968, on the student uprising today, “I would tell these students: people will always remember what you did today . . . and I believe they have accomplished much more in 2024 than we did in 1968.”

Israeli soldiers rounded up Ahmad Safi and his male family members in Khan Younis and made them stand atop a sand dune for 12 hours as the soldiers took cover behind them during a firefight with Palestinian resistance fighters. This is their story.

Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.

In Israel, a potential arrest for crimes against humanity can help boost the popularity of a politician. That itself is a telling indictment.

Since October 7, scholars have debated whether Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold of genocide. A meticulous new report finds the evidence is clear and overwhelming.

Mayors, police chiefs, and university heads have defended their violent attacks on student protests by claiming “outside agitators” are the cause of unrest. This racist trope was used during the civil rights movement and is equally obscene today.

The Left must confront this basic fact. One cannot claim solidarity with Palestine and dismiss, overlook, or exclude Hamas.

Joe Biden's claim that Hamas’s October 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem.

Munther Amira was brutally arrested from his home in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces in December 2023.

After interrogations, where he was abused and subjected to torture tactics, an Israeli military court ordered him to 4 months in administrative detention, which is imprisonment without charge or trial.

In this video, Munther describes the torture and abuse he and other Palestinian prisoners faced in Israeli prison, which he said was more like a cemetery.
