Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Soldiers Kill 5th Palestinian Man in 3 Days

HeadlineOct 29, 2015

Israeli soldiers have shot dead a Palestinian man who allegedly stabbed a soldier in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. The soldier was lightly wounded. This comes one day after Israeli soldiers shot dead another Palestinian who allegedly attempted to stab them in Hebron. On Tuesday, Israeli forces shot dead another three Palestinians accused of attempted stabbings. At least 63 Palestinians and 11 Israelis have been killed this month. A new report by Amnesty International says Israeli forces have carried out a series of unlawful killings of Palestinians by using lethal force without justification.
