#Suri's arrest comes after an exceptionally public media campaign targeting his wife, #MaphezeSaleh, by pro-Israel groups. Saleh, a U.S. citizen of Palestinian background, is the daughter of #AhmedYousef, a former political advisor to the #Hamas-led government in the #Gaza Strip, after the group gained control there in 2006. #Yousef has been a writer and commentator on Hamas in recent years for major Western media publications, including the New York Times and The Guardian.

#ColumbiaUniversity expels, suspends and revokes degrees of 22 students

The move comes after #Trump demanded several changes to be instituted at the university in return for federal funding

"Columbia University leadership made a series of concessions to the Trump administration on Thursday following an extraordinary letter that listed nine demands it expected the university to make if it did not want its federal funding to be pulled.

On Thursday, the university announced it was expelling, suspending and revoking the degrees of 22 students following last year’s Hamilton Hall protest, fulfilling one of the nine demands issued in a letter from the Trump administration to Columbia."

Rashid Khalidi: ‘Israel’s Nightmare Scenario’ (2 of 2)

This is the second of two parts of a wide-ranging interview with renowned Palestinian American scholar #RashidKhalidi. He returns to important themes he has previously discussed in the 14 months since the October 7, 2023, #Hamas-led attack on #Israel. “One of the problems we have today,” he explains, referring to the #Palestinian struggle, “is disunity and the absence of a unified national movement and of a clear, unified strategy. Without that, you’re not going to liberate anything.” He also addresses the role of violence in the anti-colonial struggle. And he discusses the possibility of #Jewish-Palestinian alliances.

How to talk to Israel supporters
Sat 2 Mar 2024

"Alex McDonald’s When They Speak Israel, reviewed here by Steve Grant, explains to all of us how to engage. His basic assumption is that while some Zionists are dyed-in-the-wool racists or ethnonationalists, most are not. They sincerely believe they oppose racism but have been taught that support for Israel is justified — if not a solemn moral duty."

Rashid Khalidi on U.S. Support to #Israel, #PalestinianNationalMovement (II)

By world-outlook.com on October 19, 2024

In this interview, #RashidKhalidi, the #Palestinian American author of "The Hundred Years' War on #Palestine," discusses two key points — among other important ideas. The first concerns the U.S. role in enabling Israel’s brutal war in the region that has now spread far beyond the #Gaza Strip. The second is about the state of the Palestinian national movement.
