⚡️ Armed Israeli settlers blocked Rep. Ro Khanna from leaving Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank for 90 minutes as Israeli troops stood by and later blocked the road, the New York Times reports citing footage shared by the congressman and his team. Khanna was on a three-day, Palestinian-led tour of the West Bank, meeting Palestinian families, local officials and business owners and visiting communities subjected to settler violence, displacement and intrusive Israeli restrictions. “One of the things it’s made me realize is how hard a two-state solution is going be in practice, that it’s going require the removal of a lot of violent settlers,” he told the New York Times. Khanna also said the racism was unmistakable: “In Palestine, I felt first as someone who was brown,” he said. “We really saw the apartheidlike conditions, the inequality.”

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…

Some are asking why @RoKhanna was in Palestine as an American congressman who doesn’t represent Palestine. We met with many Palestinian-Americans who have been brutalized by the IDF and received no help from the embassy. We watched American-owned land being stolen in real time.

🇨🇻 Cape Verde Player Steven Moreira on how he became a Muslim: “I saw my friend praying every day and fasting in Ramadan. I started asking questions, then I tried it myself. After that, I became Muslim." “I didn't grow up Muslim, so I was scared at first. I didn't know how my family would react." "But when I told them, they said: 'You're a better person now.' Alhamdulillah.” ❤️🤲

🎥 Recalling how she was fired from her law firm after refusing to remove a letter defending pro-Palestinian student protesters, Melat Kiros said, “I didn’t flinch because I stood by every word and I always will.” She added: “I know that will not be the only moment where those in power will tell me to change my tune, to not rock the boat. That seems to happen a lot in Congress, but here in Denver we stand by our values and we stand with our community.” Democratic socialist Melat Kiros declared victory after defeating 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s Democratic primary tonight. “Denver voters of all ages, of all races, of all religions sent a clear message: We will not wait.”

I read the new Btselem report on Israel killing children and teens in the West Bank. The pattern is clear. The IDF and settlers murder them. They are denied care as they die. The perpetrators are not held accountable. These are the worst cases: 1) Rida Bisharat, 8, and Hamza Bisharat, 10. Tammun, January 8, 2025. Playing in a small yard between their family homes when an Israeli aircraft fired a missile that killed them and a third cousin, Adam, 23. The mother reached her son as he lay bleeding from the head and groaning. Soldiers said in Arabic they would give first aid, then made the family back away, covered the three bodies in blankets, and took them without checking them. The military later claimed the three were identified as IED-planters; no IEDs were found. No charges against the perpetrators. 2) Layla al-Khatib, 2. Muthalath a-Shuhada, January 25, 2025. She was sitting in her mother's lap at the dinner table when soldiers fired into the second-floor apartment, striking the back of her head. Her grandfather carried her bleeding into the street, where an officer said in English, "I'm sorry, she was hit by mistake." With no ambulance present, the family carried her 100 meters to a civilian car. The army told Haaretz a "wanted terrorist" was barricaded inside and that it summoned medics; B'Tselem found no one was barricaded, no loudspeaker calls were made, and the mother was not pregnant as claimed. The army was investigating, no charges. 3) Hamed Nazzal, 16. Qalqiliyah, February 26, 2025. He was shot while throwing stones at Eyal Checkpoint with other teens, none of which caused any reported injury. After he was hit, the soldiers provided him no medical treatment of any kind. Paramedics were unable to reach him and only recovered his body roughly 15 minutes after the shooting. The delay in access falls within the pattern B'Tselem documents across nearly a quarter of the cases. The case drew an internal military review at most, no charges. 4) Omar Zyud. Silat al-Harithiya, April 2, 2025. He was hit in the back by fire from a machine gun mounted on an armored vehicle while among boys throwing stones and IEDs at the vehicles. The rounds killed him and wounded two other boys. The soldiers left the scene a few minutes later without providing medical treatment to any of the casualties. Israel was among those still withholding bodies in this period. No soldier was charged. 5) Ayman al-Haymuni, 12. Hebron, February 21, 2025. He and his 10-year-old brother had just left their grandfather's house to walk to their uncle's next door. After noticing soldiers who had raided the neighborhood, the two boys tried to return to the grandfather's house, and as Ayman turned back he was shot in the back and fell. B'Tselem's investigation found no clash underway that would account for the fire. The case produced no indictment. 7) Rimas Amuri, 13. Jenin, February 21, 2025. She had asked her mother for permission to visit her cousins next door. No clashes were taking place in the neighborhood, and traffic was moving normally. She was shot just as she turned onto the path to her uncle's house. The army described her to Haaretz as a "suspicious figure" who ignored warnings; B'Tselem found she was shot in the back, with no warning heard by witnesses. No charges followed. 8) Malek Hattab, 17. al-Jalazun Refugee Camp, April 14, 2025. He was shot in the abdomen from a second-floor balcony as a group of youths fled from two military jeeps. B'Tselem could not establish that Hattab took part in any clash. A woman who lived nearby tried to reach him to help but was driven back into her home by soldiers' fire, an obstruction of care of the kind documented across the report. No soldier was charged. In 13 of the 54 cases, nearly a quarter, the military delayed or entirely blocked medics or residents from reaching the wounded, and in at least nine cases soldiers fired in the air or at rescuers to keep them away. And as of mid-April 2026, Israel was still holding 18 of the 54 bodies, denying the families burial. In none of the cases was anyone prosecuted for killing these children. That says it all.

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said reut.rs/4eD9CfA

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money. Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire. Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13. Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election. And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

@pipcosper Sorry for your loss Pippa.

🇵🇸 Salah Sarsour, the president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque, was released from ICE detention on Thursday after a federal judge found he had raised a substantial claim that his detention may have been motivated by his advocacy for Palestinian rights. Sarsour, a Palestinian-American legal permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for more than three decades, said after his release: “I will never stop speaking for Palestine and humanity, wherever I am. I am so relieved to be with my family.” 🎥 Via CAIR National (IG)

According to the historian James Howard-Johnston, Professor of Islamic studies at Oxford, the Qur’an must be studied not only as a historical source, but as a motor of societal change. He notes that within little more than ten years, Islam transformed the religious and political configuration of Arabia “out of all recognition,” and within another decade swept across the rich, developed, military world surrounding it. Whatever one believes theologically, the historical impact of the Qur’an is impossible to dismiss.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."

@dmontetheno1 The real question is what is your entrance song

@JawharDawood Verses and stories too. The different emphasized characters and events. The natural question of every Muslim is what do X, Y and Z have to do with the central argument of Surah A, B or C

@RashyEnthusiast @Interstellar_HG Ihsan is working towards the perfection of chracter and goes beyond acts of worship. It is a rarity and can only be judged by God. And per my other post regarding the certain Prophets wives, they indubitably had ihsan but stayed with their disbelieving spouses until the Hujjah.

@RashyEnthusiast @Interstellar_HG Also would be careful about judging people for their spouses. See the last two verses of Surah Tahrim. Nuh (AS) and Lut (AS) wives were punished and Firawn’s wife is honored by God

@RashyEnthusiast @Interstellar_HG What would you define as “practicing”? Surah Bayyinah defines it as worshipping God alone, establishing prayer and paying zakah

@RohanPatelMD @RadOncUH @DrSpratticus @lauren_henke @angela_jia_ @MCWRadOnc @QingLi_MDPhD @Betyguevarasoto @whallradonc @ARRO_org @SamLM_MD Congrats! Looking forward to your arrival!

@dmontetheno1 100% but once you grasp it God willing you’ll never look back
