Drop Site News:
"DOHA, QATAR—'If President Donald Trump wants to achieve stability in the Middle East, he should put an end to Israeli interference in U.S. policy toward Palestine, senior Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal told Drop Site. 'Instead,' Meshaal said, 'the U.S. should enter into a genuine process of direct negotiations with Hamas and other Palestinian political factions aimed at establishing friendly, bilateral relations.'

'Unfortunately, one of the problems with the U.S. administration is that it prioritizes Israel’s interests more than the United States’ own interests. Even Trump’s people—MAGA—came to realize that Israel is a burden on them, restricting and harming U.S. interests.

'I am simply calling on the American people and the U.S. administration to judge based on America’s interests, not Israel’s' Meshaal said. 'If they look at us even for a moment in a fair and impartial way, they will see that the Palestinian people are oppressed under occupation, and they have the right to resist—unless America steps in and forces Israel to withdraw, in which case we would thank America.' He added, 'When the world fails to help you, you have no choice but to resist the occupier until you force it to withdraw.' ”

-->How refreshing to hear from Hamas. It's too bad it has to come from dropsitenews instead of a larger media outlet. Of course, our mainstream media is little more than pro-Israel propaganda. It wouldn't cover this story.

The Intercept:
When Oregon music teacher Susan Lewis logged onto a Zoom meeting with her boss one afternoon in August 2024, she thought she would be preparing for a sixth year teaching at Valley Catholic School. Instead, she lost her job.

Lewis was shocked, she recalled in an interview with The Intercept, as were her colleagues and students. The school did not give any explanation for why they did not renew her contract. Unbeknownst to Lewis, the pro-Israel blacklist organization StopAntisemitism had recently launched an online campaign against her, framing her social media posts about the genocide in Gaza as 'using her platform to spread vile antisemitic hate online.' ...

Lewis is one of at least 400 people StopAntisemitism has taken credit for getting ousted from their jobs in its online crusade, which has drawn widespread attention for targeting more prominent figures — including right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson, progressive actor-turned-activist Cynthia Nixon, and the popular children’s educator Rachel Accurso, known by her stage name Ms. Rachel. Lewis."

-->This firing reflects what happened during the McCarthy Era. Instead of "Communism," we now have ardent Zionists accusing the rest of being antisemites.

Common Dreams:
"More than 40 advocacy groups on Monday called on Wikipedia editors and the Wikimedia board of trustees to reject efforts by the web-based encyclopedia’s co-founders to censor the site’s entry on the Gaza genocide.

After months of internal debate, editors of the Wikipedia article titled 'Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza' renamed the entry 'Gaza genocide' in July 2024, reflecting experts’ growing acknowledgement that Israel’s annihilation and siege of the Palestinian exclave met the legal definition of the ultimate crime.
'Their efforts deny the documented reality of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and contradict the broad consensus among genocide scholars, international human rights organizations, UN experts, and both Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations,' the groups continue. 'In doing so, Wales and Sanger are engaging in attempted censorship and genocide denial.' ”

-->Wikimedia is pro genocide! Its founders are Zionists. This story wasn't covered in The NYT, which has its own problems for supporting Israel for the last 50 years.
