Inside the case against the ‘Michigan 8’: Palestine activism recast as #antisemitic terror
Eight Palestine #solidarity activists in #Michigan face decades in prison over property damage. The Justice Department's disproportionate charges reveal a broader effort to crack down on #Palestine solidarity activism as a whole.
https://mondoweiss.net/2026/06/inside-the-case-against-the-michigan-8-palestine-activism-recast-as-antisemitic-terror/from #Mondoweiss
June 19, 2026The main actions described in the indictment boil down to property damage, directed against the offices or homes of #UniversityOfMichigan officials, the facilities of Rolls-Royce (which makes parts for Israeli army tanks) and #Maersk (which ships military equipment to Israel), and the building of the Jewish Federation of Detroit (a major pro-#Israel organization, as we will see). No person has been physically harmed by these actions.
Yet the indictment paints these actions as a form of antisemitic terrorism, drawing on the FBI’s extensive digital surveillance of the defendants.

#Mondoweiss | The problem with Hamas equating the Gaza genocide to the Holocaust
"By choosing to frame the events in Gaza through the Holocaust, Hamas reveals two dynamics: first, that the Palestinian tragedy is not being presented as a self-standing experience but rather through the lens of another catastrophe — one that Western powers have designated as the archetype of atrocity. This reinforces the authority of a moral system that is selectively deaf to Palestinian suffering and inevitably grants primacy to Western trauma. Second, the use of this analogy sends a message to Western audiences: “Believe us because what is happening to us resembles your own history.” This reinforces the idea that Western pain is the benchmark for all suffering"

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."
by Abdaljawad Omar, in “The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice,” 2024, https://mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-icc-warrants-palestinian-skepticism-and-the-glimpse-of-justice/cited in https://fallingintoincandescence.com/2025/05/18/afropessimism-and-palestinian-liberation-an-essay/

#ZohranMamdani #Israel #Mondoweiss
"Zohran Mamdani’s victory marks the end of Israel’s central place in U.S. politics
Zohran Mamdani's victory over Andrew Cuomo is a historic turning point for Palestine in U.S. politics. It reflects a growing fatigue with Israel’s role in American life and the slow implosion of Zionism under the weight of its own excess.It may appear, at first glance, irrelevant—even absurd—that a mayoral contest in New York City, or the electoral fate of a councilwoman in Brooklyn, should hinge upon one’s position vis-à-vis Palestine. What, after all, does municipal governance—zoning, sanitation, housing affordability—have to do with the devastation of Gaza, the starvation of a people, the slow-motion spectacle of death under bombardment? And yet, this apparent disconnect—between the intimacy of local issues and the enormity of geopolitical violence—is precisely the condition under which American politics operates.
It is also within this disjuncture between scale and intensity, between geographic distance and ideological proximity, that something more fundamental becomes visible.
In this context, the victory of Zohran Mamdani over a figure so emblematic of institutional continuity and dynastic power as Andrew Cuomo is not a mere electoral anecdote. It is a political event. One that must be read not through the metrics of personality or campaign mechanics, but through the symbolic grammar of what is now speakable, representable, and electorally viable. Mamdani’s triumph indexes a shifting horizon—where Palestine, long treated as a 'third rail' of American politics, no longer electrocutes those who dare to touch it. It is, perhaps, not yet a mainstream moral consensus, but it is no longer a guarantee of political suicide."

#Mondoweiss | The Jewish supremacy at the heart of the Zionist project
'In 2018, the Knesset passed the Jewish Nation-State Law, which articulated very clearly that Israel was the nation-state of the Jewish people alone and, by implication, not of all its citizens (i.e. Palestinian “citizens” of Israel). The Jewish Nation-State Law is merely a clearer articulation of Israel’s founding structure. Despite this, most American Jews remain steadfast in their position that Israel is the “only democracy in the Middle East.”'

#Mondoweiss | Israel started a war with Iran, but it doesn’t know how it ends
"And yet, behind this Israeli choreography of operational tenacity lies a quieter, more subterranean logic. It is not only Iran that Israel seeks to provoke, but the United States. If Israel cannot destroy Natanz or Fordow on its own, it may still succeed in creating the conditions under which Washington feels compelled to act in its stead. This, perhaps, is the real gambit: not a direct confrontation with Iran, but the orchestration of an environment of urgency and provocation that makes American intervention — at a minimum — on the table. In other words, Israel’s military theatrics are a trap for the U.S."

#Mondoweiss | The Israeli government has effectively legalized the annexation of over 60% of the West Bank, but no one’s talking about it. Here’s what this means for Palestinians.
“When I hear people talking about the risk of annexation, I tell them: this is annexation. It has already begun, and it is advancing.”
“Most of the lands of our town are in Area C,” the Taybeh landowner emphasized. “They have names. They are in our songs, our traditions, memories. Our families lived off these lands for generations, and all of this is being denied.”

#Mondoweiss | Joining forces: Time for Jews to unite in the struggle against Zionism, apartheid and genocide
"The First Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress is to take place from June 13 to 15 in Vienna, the hometown of Theodor Herzl, the father of political Zionism. It intends to use the voice of anti-Zionist Jews, whose numbers have swelled worldwide in the last decade, especially since October 7, 2023, to assist a necessary and urgent change in Western attitudes towards the crimes of Zionism."

#Mondoweiss | #Trump sanctions #Palestinian human rights organization over alleged political connections
“The campaign against us has been ongoing for many years: harassment, smear campaigns, defamation, the distribution of false information about us by different groups like NGO monitor, UK Lawyers for Israel, and other right wing Israeli groups,” explained Francis.
“The policy behind all these attacks is actually to terrify the donors, and to terrify those who were investing in civil society in Palestine.”

#Mondoweiss | The ADL has got to go
'This is exactly what the far right is saying about everyone from the moderate middle to the activist left... It should also be noted that it is false. Jews are disproportionately represented in the Palestinian rights movement, Occupy, BLM, and many other social justice movements, and are some of the proudest Jews you will find, often wearing their Judaism quite prominently. It is absurd to label any of Occupy, BLM, or the Palestinian rights movement as “opposed to Jews.”'

#Mondoweiss | Why the Freedom Flotilla matters to us in Gaza
"Now, in 2025, there is another ship. Its name is Madleen, after a Palestinian fisherwoman from Gaza whose boat was seized by Israeli forces. Madleen did not come with weapons. It did not need to. Its mission was not to confront the blockade with force, but to confront the silence that surrounds it."

#Musk #Nazi #Zionist #Mondoweiss
"Evidently, Musk believes his support for the Israeli state absolves him of ties to the burgeoning neo-nazi movement. But one can in fact be both a white nationalist and a staunch supporter of Israel.
How? Well, the ideology of Zionism – and subsequently the state of Israel – was built on the foundations of antisemitism and ethnic cleansing. Zionism was predicated on the idea that the Jewish people do not fit into the rest of the world and must emigrate to a national homeland in Israel, all while displacing the indigenous Palestinian population already living there. The original founder of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, even wrote in 1895: 'Antisemites will become our [Israel’s] most dependable friends, the antisemitic countries our allies.' Herzl and the antisemites of the time had the same end goal: a massive migration of the Jewish population out of Europe.
AdvertisementBoth Zionists and antisemites were violently against Jews assimilating in their home countries. In Israel’s early days, Zionists murdered their own people to encourage the exodus of Middle Eastern Jews to Israel. In 1951, a pair of Jewish Zionists carried out a series of bombing attacks against Jewish sites in Baghdad. They wanted to falsely blame the attacks on antisemitic terror and give credence to the idea that Jews outside of Israel were not safe, and that Israel must exist to protect them. And they were willing to kill Iraqi Jews to make that point.
It’s unsurprising then that Zionists have always been willing to cooperate with unsavory characters to justify Israel’s existence on Palestinian land. Today, they’ve found many allies in the Republican Party and the far-right parties across Europe and Latin America. For instance, American Christian Zionists often parrot racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories while loudly proclaiming their love for the Jewish state. Take Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, who has tweeted outlandish antisemitic conspiracies about 'Jewish space lasers' while expressing her support for Israel and voting to fund its Iron Dome."
