Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Opposition Lawmaker Ayman Odeh Removed from Knesset After Protesting Gaza Assault

HeadlineMay 23, 2025

In Jerusalem, a member of the Arab-Jewish coalition Hadash party was forcefully removed from the podium of Israel’s Knesset Thursday as he condemned Israel’s assault on Gaza. This is the lawmaker, Ayman Odeh. 

Ayman Odeh: “After a year and a half of war in which you killed 19,000 children, 53,000 residents of Gaza, you destroyed all the universities and the hospitals. And for you, there is no political win. You feel there is no political win. That’s why you go crazy.”
