Darializa Avila Chevalier joins Democracy Now! in her first live broadcast interview since her upset win. After weathering a vicious campaign by her AIPAC-funded opponent Adriano Espaillat, Avila Chevalier is projected to become the first Dominican American woman to serve in the U.S. Congress.

Sen. @ChrisVanHollen is 100% right. This is what it looks like when you put US national interest ahead of partisan politics. Other Democrats should follow suit. x.com/ChrisVanHoll...

When a Jew wins a landslide election in the most Jewish city in the United States, where massive numbers of Jews turned out to reject a terrorist org that lobbies for genocide:

"Its vital for people like me.. to come & talk, because no journalists are being allowed in, as you know many of the local journalists have been killed, immensely brave people who still try & do their job.." Surgeon Nizam Mamode, who was working in Gaza a few weeks ago

"What would you say is needed most?" Surgeon professor Nizam Mamode, who was working in Gaza a few weeks ago: "Basic medical supplies. I can see no reason to deny a civilian population basic medical supplies. This is unprecedented in my experience"

Surgeon Nizam Mamode, who was recently in Gaza, says people in the UK dont realise whats still happening there Presenter: who do you blame for that? You Mamode says the evidence is overwhelming, & he references yesterdays UN report that Israel targets & kills Palestinian kids

"The children you operated on, what did they tell you these quadcopters did?" Nizam Mamode "One child who was 7, who described.. a bomb was dropped, he was knocked over by the blast.. he heard a drone above him, turned round, then it fired on him. We have many reports like that"

"A breast feeding baby was shot by a quad copter through the head" Yesterday the UN commission of inquiry published a report detailing how Israel deliberately targets & kills Palestinian children

Professor Nick Maynard, consultant in internal medicine, in 2025 reported Israeli border guards seizing infant formula from his fellow Doctors entering Gaza. Children died unnecessary as a result, he says.

Two years after Darializa Avila Chevalier took part in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University, she is now set to represent the district in which the university is located in Congress.

Palestinian children ‘unprotected’ as NGOs forced out of Gaza and West Bank https://aje.news/gk1gde

Immediately after Oct 7, Israel and the White House pumped out inflammatory lynch-mob level lies about babies beheaded, babies put in ovens, babies hung on clotheslines and shot, and media took weeks to debunk them while actually babies were being slaughtered daily by the IDF.

He's talking about munitions in children's bodies. Deliberately aimed at and shot by Israelies and other nationalities wearing the IDF uniform. thousands of children deliberately murdered.

"Children are being killed mainly in 2 ways.. through air strikes.. [&] using quad copters, drones & sniper rifles that specifically target & kill children" Yesterday the UN independent commission of inquiry published a report on how Israel targets & kills Palestinian children

NY-10 is, according to the Jewish Electorate Institute, the second most Jewish Congressional district in the US. (www.jewishelectorateinstitute.org/p6611) It voted overwhelmingly for a candidate who says Israel is committing genocide. That should challenge assumptions about what American Jews want.

In a report issued on Tuesday, a United Nations commission of inquiry accused Israel of systematically targeting Palestinian children in the occupied Palestinian territory, stressing that Israeli occupation actions amount to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza, as well as war

30% of Those Killed in Gaza Genocide Were Children, Many From 'Deliberate' Targeting: UN Commission www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-ch...

“A defense official could not rule out this plan’s sudd revival is connected to quiet agreements reached recently between Netanyahu Trump, constituting "compensation for painful concessions" that Washington imposed on Israel as part of its deal with Iran.” www.haaretz.com/gaza/2026-06...

We all know that Israel is committing genocide. How could we not. The only divide is between those of us who want to shine a spotlight on the genocide and those of us who want to switch that spotlight off.

A growing wave of activism combines worker solidarity, local organizing, and direct action against economic interests. The goal is to disrupt what’s happening in the Middle East and more broadly to oppose racism and militarism.

🇺🇳 The UN Commission of Inquiry has found that Israeli security forces and authorities have directly and intentionally targeted Palestinian children as part of an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and in what amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

🇺🇳 The Commission of Inquiry also found that violations by Israeli authorities, security forces, and settlers targeting Palestinian children amount to war crimes in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. You can read the full report here: www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

Amazing. Imagine instead it was: "Human rights museum board member resigns over 'one-sided' exhibit on Holocaust victims."

I very well might have missed something, but for the first time in a long time, I’ve gone a day without seeing any news about Israel murdering somebody in Lebanon.* Anyone who says the U.S. can’t restrain Israel is lying to you. * They murdered several people in Gaza today

mfw the “correct moral view” is pragmatic

“Dispelling any outdated perspectives about disabilities is especially important now, as other countries receive children from Gaza for medical treatment or rehabilitation after difficult amputations. Accommodating those with physical (or other) disabilities can often be seen as an afterthought…”

For those of us who see Palestinians as human beings, this was Starmer's defining moment. It is not sustainable to behave in this way while leading the nominally progressive party in a two party system. Starmer's unpopularity is not one of life's great mysteries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8_s...

Today, Israel has murdered children and journalists. They do it every single day. Armed to the teeth by the US/EU/UK. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

For more than 20 years, the City of Paris has awarded honorary citizenship to people who are “threatened, imprisoned, or prosecuted because they defend human rights and fundamental freedoms." Jerusalem Post frames the vote as close but it was 107 to 41. www.jpost.com/internationa...

"Will we be forced to cut back on water distributions too!? As Gaza enters another brutal summer, families are facing soaring temperatures, overcrowded displacement camps, and the daily struggle to find safe drinking water" #TheSameerProject #Gaza

The "prize" targets of Israel's genocide of Palestinians has always been young fathers and older boys. Today is a day to remember that.

Rather than attack the MOU Democrats must protect it from Israel sabotaging the opportunity for Iran and the US to bury the hatchet. Press Trump to suspend military aid to Israel and curtail intelligence cooperation to limit Israel’s ability to reignite war. responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-ends-w...

#Israel has killed at least 10 people today in #Gaza, during a 'ceasefire'. "At least 5 Palestinians, incl. 2 children were killed after an Israeli strike hit an apartment in Gaza City early Saturday.⁣ .⁣ #Gaza #Palestine" www.instagram.com/p/DZ0ScDoFXIz/ #GazaNews #News #PalestineNews #WorldNews

"Hind Rajab from Gaza city and Zahraa Shuaib from Lebanon were killed on different dates, yet both lost their lives by the same Israeli army battalion"(QNN) #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Lebanon

Just imagining the scene in Tel Aviv where the Israeli leadership is on the phone with Trump, meekly murmuring ”Yes, boss… uh, yes, boss… mmm-hmmmm … mmm-hmmm… yes boss, for sure” — then hanging up and bursting into uproarious, eye-wiping laughter.

What is connection between Israel's Iran war and Palestinian question. Read Daniel Levy daniellevy2.substack.com/p/israel-the...

“Israel massacred this entire family today in Harouf, South Lebanon. Not combatants. A father, a mother, and their 3 daughters.”

Among the myriad things dangerously wrong with US policy, the MOU incentivizes Israel to escalate its violence, to prevent billions $$$ from reaching Iran's government as promised. A sane world requires Israel sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and make the Middle East as a nuclear-free zone.

Khalil, 76, ran a sanctuary where she hosted volunteers in her house to monitor a mile-long beach and welcomed tourists to learn about conservation. An Israeli airstrike hit her house earlier this month, severely wounding Khalil, who succumbed to her injuries Friday.
