Haifa's Arabic Speakers Say Municipality Is Targeting 'All Forms of Palestinian Expression' (and a thought about Sarah Hurwitz)

>In a now-viral exchange during a May 5 city council meeting in Haifa, Sally Abed leans toward the microphone and begins speaking in Arabic.

>"Haifa spoke Arabic for centuries," says Abed, a former Standing Together movement leader who now heads a local joint Jewish-Arab party. "Haifa is our civilizational, cultural, historical and political compass."

>The speech lasts less than a minute before the shouting begins. "Go to Gaza," members of the coalition right-wing coalition yell across the room. Others remind her that she is "in a Jewish city." Abed tries to continue. "You can go to Gaza unfortunately, but I can't," she replies. "You are in Gaza more than us."

>"We no longer have linguistic space, political space, cultural space," as Palestinians in Haifa, Abed tells Haaretz. "When you try to strengthen Arabic in places they don't see as legitimate, it becomes provocative," she says. "The message becomes: Speak Arabic at home."

Will write about Hurwitz in the comment

A visit with a Nakba survivor in NYC

May 15 marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a Nakba survivor and shared with us her story -- one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Massive reaction to Kristof’s NYT prison rape story by right wing Jewish/Israeli protest groups who are menacingly calling for gov political prosecutions and terrorist designations for liberals and progressives, basically, and Netanyahu says he’s suing.

I have to say, I’ve never seen a reaction this explosive to anything in the NYT and it has to be because it is the NYT. A steady stream of info like this is publicized everywhere, every day already without half this targeted rage. I guess Israel has chosen to use this to make a stand

If you have a FB or Instagram account, search something like: ‘stop jew hate, NYT,’ and it should produce a stream of posts from the protests at the NYT, and some of the posts have frightening rhetoric, like I described. I didn’t post the links because these platforms are siloed now and it’s hard to do.

Here is Kristof’s piece https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opinion/israel-palestinians-sexual-violence.html

And here is info on Netanyahu’s plan to sue. https://www.poynter.org/commentary/2026/netanyahu-israel-threaten-sue-new-york-times/

Unless there is some twist we don’t know about and is hard to even imagine, this suit doesn’t have a prayer in court, but as a tool to drum up attacks on liberals and progressives, it is already proving itself

People are calling for illegal police actions and authoritarian style crack downs the West hasn’t seen since Franco and Hitler, and corrupt new laws on the US books that better please Netanyahu, (who should eff off to his own country)

The president and Congress refuse to tell the government of Israel to stop violating Americans’ rights and I don’t know what Israel thinks it’s going to get out of this. We already know the ultimate answer of Americans to this is “No.” Does he not believe it’s “No” all the way down or does he think he can conquer it?

I never thought I’d see Jewish people, of all people, turn into such murderous right wing extremists. No one is safe from this. We are all targets and I should mention he is tag-teaming with Trunp, of course.

The European country that could draw Nato into a conflict with Israel. Israeli officials have described Turkey as the 'new Iran'. Ankara is taking the threat seriously

This article is very unpleasant reading and not sure parts of it are even accurate as to the reasons.

One of many horrible excerpts:

>However, hawkish elements in Washington DC think the US could ultimately back an Israeli attack on Turkey, if tensions continue to escalate.

>[That’s just great! Isn't that brilliant]

>Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official and Turkey analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, believes that US and Israeli intelligence agencies are already tracking Turkish leaders for potential decapitation strikes, as with Iran.

>[We’re spying on Turkey for Israel and planning assassinations together??]

For those who don’t know, the AEI is an old rt wing think tank.

Every day it gets worse. Traitorous.

Pretty provocative too the part where the Israeli official asks why Turkey needs so many missiles, it’s dangerous,he says, and you think: you want us to help you weaken a NATO country’s military? And you also think, when have you ever allowed inspections of your nukes? The ones made possible by your espionage on the US?

Israel is a dangerous country that rejects Western aspirational principles of equality, civil liberties and fair play. It is a belligerent. It is no substitute for the West, even with all its flaws.

Why shouldn’t I believe Israel’s focus on undermining Western institutions like the UN and now NATO, goes well beyond its regional security?

This is just such a problem. The US is saddled with the maga majority at the moment but why don’t European countries do more to put their foot down?

“At the very centre of one of the most dangerous diplomatic theatres in the world, a fragile ceasefire with Iran that could collapse into regional war, stand not career diplomats, not strategic planners, but men whose primary qualification is proximity to Donald Trump. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are not supporting actors. They are the channel.

“This is not unconventional. It is indecent.”
