“No Palestinian Is Safe”: Renowned Feminist Scholar Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian Arrested in Jerusalem democracynow.org/2024/4/19/shal…
100+ people were arrested at Columbia University when police forcibly cleared a student protest demanding the school divest from Israeli occupation. Democracy Now! spoke to @CornelWest, who teaches at the Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary and joined the students.
Palestinian photojournalist @ahmedzakot has documented Gaza for 25 years, up until he was recently forced to flee the war for safety. He describes Israel’s “carnage” through his lens and his own eyes.
The head of photography for @UNOCHA, @charlottecans, shares the stories and work of the Palestinian photojournalists who “are the only window into the suffering of people in Gaza.”
Police arrested Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian in Jerusalem Thursday for her public criticism of Israel. The shocking arrest shows that “no palestinian is safe,” says Palestinian-Chicano professor Sarah Ihmoud and mentee of Shalhoub-Kevorkian.
Israel launched a drone attack on Iran, according to Israeli and Iranian sources. Tehran said the strike hit a military air base near the city of Isfahan, where explosions could be heard. The damage was reportedly minimal and Iranian forces later downed 3 Israeli drones.

We are offering Mouin Rabbani's chapter in Deluge: Gaza and Israel from Crisis to Cataclysm for free orbooks.com/catalog/deluge/ Order a copy of the book too! @MouinRabbani @democracynow
"Words are cheap." Middle East analyst @MouinRabbani says increasingly critical statements from President Biden and other Western leaders will not affect Israeli policy in Gaza as long as there are no consequences for continued violations of human rights and the rules of war.
Centre member @nevegordon live on @democracynow. Must watch!
Amid a looming famine in the Gaza Strip, human rights expert @nevegordon says Israel's use of hunger against Palestinians is nothing new. “Israel has been controlling the food basket and using it as a weapon since the beginning of the occupation until today."
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Israeli troops have left Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital, after a brutal two-week raid that left much of the complex in ruins and killed many civilians and medical staff there. “This is part of the genocidal machine," says Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1, who has volunteered at Al-Shifa.
Thank you for inviting me on @democracynow.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday on limiting availability of the abortion pill mifepristone, but the justices "were skeptical of the claims brought by the plaintiffs," says law professor @michelebgoodwin. "It is clear that mifepristone is incredibly safe."
My take on the ceasefire resolution, this morning on Democracy Now. #Palestine #Gaza #genocide #ceasefire
The U.S. has finally allowed the U.N. Security Council to adopt a ceasefire resolution to halt the fighting in Gaza, but former U.N. official @CraigMokhiber explains how the U.S. is attempting to weaken the resolution as Israel ignores the measure and continues to bomb Gaza.
Wow! Thanks @democracynow !! democracynow.org/2024/3/14/banj…
Had a great discussion with Amy Goodman.
Journalist @shane_bauer’s profile of Israeli settlers recently sanctioned by the Biden administration uncovers “an unprecedented wave of settler violence,” supported by an Israeli government that appears to be heading towards the formal annexation of the occupied West Bank.
The glaring contradiction between Zionism and freedom, specifically in academia, eloquently brought forth by Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkia - a true hero. Absolutely crucial segment on @democracynow ==> democracynow.org/2024/3/15/nade… #BDSMovement @BDSmovement
"Anti-Zionism is totally not antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is to refuse to accept violence, and this is not antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is to refuse to accept continued dispossession, is to refuse to accept this ideology of supremacy."
This is the most compelling, disturbing, and informative interview I’ve seen in the recent period. Thank you @democracynow for continued service.
"Anti-Zionism is totally not antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is to refuse to accept violence, and this is not antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is to refuse to accept continued dispossession, is to refuse to accept this ideology of supremacy."
A big shoutout to @democracynow, the only place in the US where you can consistently hear Palestinian voices.
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a renowned Palestinian author and academic. She was recently suspended by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem after she accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and calling for abolishing Zionism.
Truly appreciate @democracynow for having me join you this morning as we discussed the absurd potential #tiktokban and the importance of expansive #digitalrights legislation that benefits us all.
The House passed a bill Wednesday requiring TikTok to be sold by its China-based owner ByteDance, or be banned in the U.S. @rameshmedia says the bill is an “absurd” and “theatrical” singling out of a single company in an industry where privacy violations are rampant.
So many parallels to make between the current situation in #Haiti and in #Iraq. The US blames “gangs” and “armed groups” for a situation it created, facilitated, and arming. Thanks to Jemima Pierre @Blacks4Peace for their crucial perspectives.
Fighting continues to rage in Haiti between security forces and paramilitary forces calling for the resignation of unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Haitian American scholar Jemima Pierre explains what she calls Haiti's "crisis of imperialism.”
I've been thinking about this interview all day. I don't have the words to adequately express a response to this. To the horrors we've not yet been able to stop, no matter how hard we try. This can't continue. "The stories they told me are like out of a Hollywood horror film."
Terrorized by soldiers. Shot at by snipers. Injured with no medication. Scorched by the sun. Living in filth. Susan Abulhawa narrates what she saw in Gaza during a recent visit to the besieged, attacked and traumatized refugee population.

Activists gave a “State of the Genocide” address last night in response to Biden’s State of the Union. “Business cannot go on as usual and we are not going away. This genocide has been going on for 152 days and it is 100% an American project,” says @emanabdelhadi.
