“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” states a fact sheet published on the White House website along with President Donald Trump’s January executive order on antisemitism, “I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Palestine Action have struck overnight to wreck the ‘Trump Turnberry’ golf course, in response to the American administration’s plans and threats to destroy, ethnically cleanse, and ‘take over’ the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

After entering the 800-acre resort, activists painted in 3-metre-high letters, “GAZA IS NOT FOR SALE” across the lawn of the South Ayrshire course.

Making the popular opposition to Trump’s intentions clear, activists spray painted the club house and dug up the greens including the course’s most prestigious holes – used in numerous Open Championships.

"The youths film themselves posing as representatives of a fictional humanitarian organisation and call their family members and friends to ask for donations for Palestinian children. Those called usually react with rage, shouting and swearing before the callers reveal themselves in the videos uploaded to the platform as humorous pranks."

"The documentary chronicles Israeli demolitions in the West Bank Palestinian community of Masafer Yatta. In their acceptance speeches at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, Palestinian co-director Basel Adra criticized the “ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.” Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham called for an end to Israel’s “unequal” treatment of Palestinians."

"A group of students congregated outside the Milstein Center at Barnard around 1pm on Wednesday local time and renamed it the "Dr Hussam Abu Safiya liberated zone". They campaigned for the reinstatement of three recently expelled peers, amnesty for all protestors, divestment from Israel, and justice for Gaza's Dr Hussam Abu Safiya as well as all Palestinians."

"New Israeli trend of kids calling their parents and making fun of Palestinian children's misfortune."

This is really really disgusting.

They teach their children to become monsters.

"The Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) has opened a new investigation into nine Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters for violence they committed in Amsterdam during a match against Ajax [Nov. 7, 2024]. These Israeli hooligans have not yet been identified but are suspected of assaults and vandalism, AT5 reported.

"During a court session today, the prosecutor confirmed the investigation.“

"Dutch police began reviewing footage of the violence days after the incident on November 7. Videos circulating online showed Israeli fans chanting racist and Islamophobic slogans and carrying iron pipes, sticks, and belts."

"... Critics questioned why authorities and media initially overlooked the role of Israeli supporters."

Summary :

• The film "No Other Land" won the 2025 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film.
• The film tells the story of Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist fighting against the displacement of his people in Masafer Yatta, and his friendship with Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist.
• In his acceptance speech, Basel Adra called on the world to take serious action to stop the injustice and displacement of Palestinian people.
• Yuval Abraham, a co-director of the film, gave a speech that was seen as an example of liberal Zionism, where he prioritized the needs of Israeli people over Palestinian freedom.
• Abraham's speech was criticized as an example of "hasbara", a form of propaganda that promotes and justifies Israeli policies in an unfair and opaque manner.

Khalid Abdalla warned the 'right to protest is under attack' amid Europe-wide crackdown on expressions of Palestinian solidarity

Khalid Abdalla, the British-Egyptian star of the hit show The Crown, and 87-year-old Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos are among those who have been ordered to attend formal interviews with the Metropolitan Police over alleged public order breaches at a pro-Palestine rally in London in January.

Abdalla, who played Princess Diana's lover Dodi Fayed in the hit Netflix drama The Crown, said on Monday: "I received a letter from the Metropolitan Police summoning me to attend 'a formal interview' in relations to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign protest of Jan 18th."

So far, 21 people have been charged so far over the protest, the police said. They include the rally's chief steward Chris Nineham and Palestine Solidarity campaign director Ben Jamal.

'No Other Land' Oscars Speech Calls for Stop of 'Ethnic Cleansing' in Gaza (Variety, 2025-03-02)

“Despite the film’s critical acclaim and Oscar win, it still remains without a U.S. distributor. In January, Abraham told Variety that he took the lack of distribution ‘as something that’s completely political. We’re obviously talking about the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, and it’s very ugly…The conversation in the United States appears to be far less nuanced — there is much less space for this kind of criticism, even when it comes in the form of a film.’

“‘No Other Land’ had a limited theatrical run in New York City starting Jan. 31 and Los Angeles starting Feb. 7.”

DOHA, March 3 (Reuters) - A plan for Gaza drawn up by Egypt as a counter to U.S. President Donald Trump's ambition for a Middle East Riviera would sideline Hamas and replace it with interim bodies controlled by Arab, Muslim and Western states, according to a draft seen by Reuters.
