“A kind request: In order to express our independence, we kindly ask you to leave party and national flags at home. We are aware that Palestinian national symbols and flags are constantly being stigmatized in #Germany. We comdemn the blanket criminalization of such flags and symbols. That’s why we express our wish as a kind request and not as a ban. We stand up for the right of all people and groups to express their identity – whether religious, ethnic or political. But at this rally we want to place the focus on the universality of the human rights of all those affected by the war and the violence.”

At 10:00 a.m. yesterday, a soldier from the 450th Battalion of the Bislamach Brigade noticed a suspicious figure going in and out of a building in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood, The Times of Israel has learned. He informed the battalion commander, who ordered forces to open fire on the building.

The IDF opened fire again, injuring the soldiers. Two went into one building, and a third — who would turn out to be Sinwar — went alone into a separate structure. IDF tanks and other forces opened fire on both buildings, ToI has learned. Sinwar then moved up to the second floor. A tank fired another shell at the building, and an infantry platoon moved up to search.

Sinwar threw two grenades, one of which exploded. The soldiers withdrew, and a drone flew in to search the room. It found a man with his arm injured and his face covered — Sinwar — who threw a wooden stick at the drone. Another tank shell was fired at the man.

Meanwhile, Hebrew media has just aired a recording of one of the soldiers involved in the killing of Sinwar. He says that the IDF struck the building that Sinwar was in with a missile and then sent a drone in to confirm that he had been killed.

The Shin Bet took DNA and fingerprints in order to verify his identity. No hostages were with Sinwar at the time.

A Curricular Clash at MIT: How a course on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict rattled a department.

Beyond paywall but yet suggestive.

“… Michel DeGraff submitted a request to teach a course about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“In the 10 months since then, the professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been locked in a near-constant feud with his department head and colleagues...”

“DeGraff’s colleagues argue that the course — which would analyze the language used in conversations surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — doesn’t align with the department’s curriculum and that DeGraff lacks the necessary expertise to teach it. DeGraff believes the rejection is actually rooted in his pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus and social media…”

“The order stems from a petition filed by three Israeli human rights groups in early June, following the closure of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt after the Israeli military began assaulting the area in May.”

“Daniel Shuminov was suspended from his duties as a guide and audience coordinator at the Historical Museum of Frankfurt without explanation due to his role as a spokesperson for the Palestine Camp “Hind’s Garden” at Goethe University Frankfurt. The protest camp “Hind’s Garden,” which took place from May 20 to May 26, 2024, was organized in response to the ongoing escalation in the Gaza Strip, where tens of thousands of people have been killed or wounded. The camp highlighted the deliberate destruction of all educational institutions in Gaza and the systematic oppression of the Palestinian population—a space for discourse that educational institutions in #Frankfurt had not adequately allowed…”
