"As a person of Jewish heritage who has personally encountered actual antisemitism, I find it deeply distasteful that this administration would claim to speak for me. And I’m not the only one. Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal was similarly horrified: “Shalom, the Hebrew greeting for peace,” he said, “is being used as a declaration of war and repression of dissent at home… Trump is weaponizing Jews to wage war crimes and repression.” Jamie Beran, a columnist for the Israeli paper Haaretz, has used the apt term “smokescreen antisemitism” to describe what Trump is doing: Using a faux concern for Jewish safety as a shield for his administration’s goals of crushing dissenters of all backgrounds.

A lot of American Jewish groups, thankfully, have recognized the danger of this action and were quick to condemn it. Not only groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, which are openly supportive of the Palestinian cause, but also liberal Zionist groups like J Street and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs have denounced Khalil’s arrest and detention. The same cannot be said, however, for one of America’s largest and most influential Jewish organizations: The Anti-Defamation League. In a post unequivocally praising Khalil’s arrest, the ADL called for “swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity.” It should be noted that Khalil has not actually been charged with providing “material support” for terrorism, “inciting violence,” or “concealing” his identity to harass people. (What was that about being against defamation?) This would be par for the course for a group like the ADL, which has long sought to conflate any criticism of Israeli policy with antisemitism."

*DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!*

“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

On February 10th, the Educational Bookshop in Occupied East Jerusalem was raided by Israeli police - books were confiscated and the owners Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna were arrested.
(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/10/israeli-police-raid-jerusalem-bookshops-and-arrest-palestinian-owners)

Today, around 11:30am local time, police raided the Educational Bookshop again, confiscating more books and arresting Ahmad's father (aged 61) who was tending to the shop at the time.
Here is a local story on the second raid:
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-03-11/ty-article/.premium/israel-police-raid-east-jerusalem-bookshop-for-second-time-in-a-month-arrest-owner/00000195-8515-d544-aff5-879d87e80000

What the story does not contain is a list of the confiscated books (later returned). I was at the store when the books were returned and was able to get pictures, which I attach here.

Note: Among the books they confiscated were a book on rock climbing in the West Bank (???), books by Banksy, Joe Sacco (Safe Area Gorazde - a book on BOSNIA, not Israel), Noam Chomsky, and Ilan Pappe.

I'm sorry, I don't have time to #alttext these photos. Please do so if you can and I'll happily add it to the post!
I'd also like to make these into a list with links to descriptions of them at their publisher.

As an educator, this should cross a red line for all educators. It is nothing compared to the scholasticide and genocide in Gaza, but the lack of pretext for raids like this on a bookshop peacefully operating for 40 years should get everyone's attention.

Here is a link to the Educational Bookshop website if you'd like to learn more about them: https://educationalbookshop.com/

The reviewing Judge called them 'excessive'. And reduced them - a little. Most right minded people would still call these excessive.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/07/just-stop-oil-protesters-jail-sentences-shortened-after-appeal

“No country in Europe gives such draconian sentences for peaceful protests, proving we are out of kilter with the rest of the civilised world. We are reviewing the judgment and considering an appeal to the supreme court.” [Raj Chada representing many of the defendents]

"Daddy, what did you do during the genocide?"

"I told a group of 100+ doctors, including a Nobel Peace-Prize Winner, who were protesting it, that “none of that matters” and I shut them down."

Zionists have made sure there is no longer freedom of speech in the West.

Such attacks conflate legitimate critiques of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism with anti-semitism, a move that must be understood for what it is: the weaponisation of anti-racist discourse in the service of political repression and with the aim of silencing Palestinian voices. The capacity to critique and challenge the actions of nation states remains a core tenet of socially engaged scholarship across a range of disciplines. The failure to resist these attacks on academic freedom establishes a dangerous precedent for both the university sector and democracy at large.


Berlin’s police have banned the use of any language except German and English at demonstrations - in effect outlawing pro-Palestine Arabic speakers.

Email leaked to Ken Klippenstein telling NOAA employees that their course material can’t contain ANY of the following words in order to remain complaint with Trump’s executive order on DEI.

The party than ran on freedom and speech and avoiding censorship now actively censoring people.

Every word breaks my heart… but I want to pause on the inclusion of “empathy”.

The fact that they can’t use the word empathy is a perfect encapsulation of this whole administration.

This is impressive reporting by Evan Gershkovich of @wsj, reporting on secret Russian spy agency DKRO responsible for his arrest & 16 months in Russian jail; together w/ Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson & Thomas Grove.
Russia has strongest internal repression since Stalin days.

Freedom of speech in Germany: Just kidding. This article is about how you can go to jail for criticizing a dead pope. The law allows two years' imprisonment.
