I think it's important to note, that this is not how refugees leave countries under attack. They don't go to the airport with suitcases packed for flights to their other houses in Europe or the US. This is how settlers leave the territories they occupy when the shit hits the fan.
Thousands of Israelis are seen heading to the Ben Gurion Airport as they prepare to escape.

For his beliefs. Not just actions, or even speech. They want to control your thoughts.
BREAKING: The U.S. government confirms they are trying to deport Palestinian grad student Mahmoud Khalil—not for any crime, but for his beliefs. A memo from Marco Rubio says his pro-Palestine activism “damages U.S. foreign policy.”

remember this, when Biden tries to take credit for a "ceasefire" or "brokering peace" early next year. He gave Israel carte blanche to commit genocide as long as they don't f*ck up his re-election bid by dragging it out too long.
The official Israeli broadcasting authority reported, that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has set the beginning of next year as a "final" deadline for the war waged by the occupation on Gaza to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace is literally what Israel is willing to commit genocide to prevent
Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace.
To continue down the path of terror, violence, killing, and war is to give Hamas what they seek.
We can’t do that.

Greta driving the much needed wedge between imperialist and anti-imperialist climate organizing
#German "Fridays for Future" movement for climate justice announces it will isolate itself from the international network and solidarity and says Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg does not represent it.
The decision comes two days after Thunberg chanted "no climate justice on occupied land" in Amsterdam and invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman on stage.

Remember, the demand is to defund the police (the goal is their abolition). It is not to replace the old police with new police, or to charge an individual cop. To start, mayor's need to cut a huge gash in their police budgets & promise to redistribute those funds to communities.

dude you bombed a UN school in Gaza this morning
Israel has the right to defend itself. We must make sure they have what they need to protect their people today and always.
At the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have discussed how Israel must operate by the laws of war. That means protecting civilians in combat as best as they can.
We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace. That’s why I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
And we cannot give up on a two-state solution.
