My evening outside the 6-block exclusion zone the NYPD set up yesterday to shield an illegal West Bank land sale, hanging out with kheffiyeh-masked protesters, anti-Zionist Haredim, ultrazionist provocateurs, many cops, so many inconvenienced neighborhood residents.

The day gets worse. Defense for Children International - Palestine is shutting down. DCIP has been huge in helping document human rights abuses against Palestinian kids & giving them legal support in an otherwise apartheid system for 35 years. Amid attacks from Israel, it's now shuttering.
