The Inside Story of The Super Bowl Halftime Performer Who Raised a Palestine and Sudan Flag (The Intercept, 2025-02-10)

"With the world watching, [a New Orleans performer and designer Zül-Qarnain] Nantambu, 41, made his choice. As the rest of the 400 hired dancers moved in a coordinated rhythm to Lamar’s music, Nantambu reached into his clothes and unfurled a joint Palestinian and Sudanese flag. He took off running, waving a flag adorned with the words 'Sudan' and 'Gaza' in black ink. After roughly 30 seconds, he was wrestled to the ground by security as the crowd watched."

"Nantambu said that he couldn’t allow those who share his Muslim faith abroad to suffer without speaking out. 'I can’t live in America — live in a lap of luxury — while those are suffering, without trying to help or bring attention to it,' he said."

Bomb the area, gas the tunnels: Israel’s war on Gaza’s underground (Yuval Abraham | +972 Magazine, 2025-02-06)

https://www.972mag.com/tunnels-hamas-lethal-gas-bombs-gaza/

“Unable to pinpoint Hamas commanders in Gaza’s tunnels, the Israeli army decimated entire residential blocks with bunker-buster bombs to crush the passages below and flood them with lethal fumes, an investigation reveals.”

“The investigation, based on conversations with 15 Israeli Military Intelligence and Shin Bet officers …, exposes how this strategy aimed to compensate for the army’s inability to pinpoint targets in Hamas’ subterranean tunnel network. When targeting senior commanders in the group, the Israeli military authorized the killing of ‘triple-digit numbers’ of Palestinian civilians as ‘collateral damage,’ …”

“Some of these strikes, which were the deadliest in the war and often used American bombs, are known to have killed Israeli hostages despite concerns raised ahead of time by military officers…”

As Israel Expands West Bank Operation, Two Soldiers Are Killed (New York Times, 2025-02-04)

⚠️ NYT-ish biased ⚠️

“Two Israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting attack in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday as Israel pressed ahead with a military operation that has forced many people to flee their homes and caused widespread destruction.

“The attack came two days after Israel announced an eastward expansion in its campaign, which it has said is targeting militants, and which Palestinians have said is one of the most severe in the West Bank in years.”

“It came after the Western-backed Palestinian Authority spent more than a month carrying out its own operation against militants in the Jenin area.”

“But Israel’s operation — one of dozens in recent years — has been more damaging.”

Statement | Jewish Voice for Peace Opposes Trump’s Plan to Silence and Deport Anti-War Students - #JVP (2025-01-29)

https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2025/01/29/jewish-voice-for-peace-opposes-trumps-plan-to-silence-and-deport-anti-war-students/
——

“Donald Trump is reportedly planning to continue his violent crusade aimed at gutting freedom and democracy with an Executive Order today calling for the deportation of non-citizen anti-war activists, with a particular focus on students. This is a vile attempt to sow fear and crush political dissent to the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as to further the far-Right’s broader anti-immigrant agenda. Should there be any attempt to enforce this authoritarian, unconstitutional, and violent executive order, we call on elected officials, university administrators, and all people of conscience to boldly reject these orders…”

Genocide as colonial erasure - Report of Francesca Albanese, the #UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 - Question of Palestine (2024-10-01)

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/genocide-as-colonial-erasure-report-francesca-albanese-01oct24/
———

“In the present [October 2024] report, the Special Rapporteur expands the analysis of the post-7 October 2023 violence against Gaza, which has spread to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. She focuses on genocidal intent, contextualising the situation within a decades-long process of territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing aimed at liquidating the Palestinian presence in Palestine. She suggests that genocide should be seen as integral and instrumental to the aim of full Israeli colonization of Palestinian land while removing as many Palestinians as possible…”

“Israel’s defense minister says troops will remain in Jenin refugee camp indefinitely”

“Barely 48 hours after the ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza came into effect on January 19, Israel announced “Operation Iron Wall,” a large-scale military operation to ‘defeat terrorism in Jenin.’

“What began in the #Jenin refugee camp has expanded to #Tulkarem, #Tubas, #Qalqilya, #Nablus, and #Jericho…”

“A day before the latest Israeli invasion, Palestinian Authority security forces had concluded their own large-scale offensive on the camp dubbed Operation Home, one of the longest and most lethal assaults by Palestinian security forces in recent memory…”
