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 Forces Kill Palestinian American Teenager in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineApr 07, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have shot dead a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy named Omar Mohammad Rabea during a raid near the town of Turmus Aya. Two other Palestinian American boys, ages 14 and 15, were injured. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned what it called the “extrajudicial killing” of the boy who is a U.S. citizen. Israel acknowledged shooting the boys, whom they accused of throwing rocks.

Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting the Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to send 20,000 assault rifles to Israel. The Biden administration had paused the shipment out of fear the guns could end up in the hands of violent Israeli settlers.
