Statement from ADC President @JeninYounesEsq : "Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations makes you question how someone who presents such an alternate reality of facts continues to be given one of the world’s most important platforms. To catalogue every distortion in this speech would be exhausting. But its central message was unmistakable: foment fear of Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims by portraying them as ‘barbarians who threaten civilization’ and ‘fanatic jihadists,’ while invoking generations of Jewish trauma to cultivate a sense of permanent existential threat that demands ever more violence in the name of ‘defense.’ Netanyahu is attempting to export the same logic used to justify the genocide in Palestine and normalize its use far beyond it. That rhetoric is extraordinarily dangerous." Full statement --> adc.org/adc-president-respon…

🎥 "I thought they forgot about me." 17-year-old Mohammed Ibrahim, a U.S. citizen who was released from Israeli military prison after ten months of detainment, came to the UNGA this week to advocate for hundreds of Palestinian children still held in Israeli military detention. He spoke on the sidelines of the "Childhood in Custody" high-level dialogue, hosted by Save the Children and co-sponsored by Jordan, Ireland, Palestine, Spain, and South Africa, which brought together Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, and Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour. The meeting was largely a discussion, with no concrete calls to action. Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard condemned states for failing to use the tools already available to them, most notably cutting financial ties with Israel. Israel is the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes children in military courts, detaining between 500 and 700 Palestinian children every year. A new Save the Children report found that in interviews with recently detained children, 86% reported being beaten and 69% experienced sexual violence or harassment while in custody.

TODAY: Benjamin Netanyahu is being welcomed to New York to address the United Nations. To get here, his plane flew over Greece, Italy and France, three countries that recognize the International Criminal Court, which has an arrest warrant for him over crimes against humanity in Gaza. He’ll take the UN stage at 2 PM to justify the war in Gaza, which has killed more than 250 journalists, destroyed 97% of its schools, almost all of its universities, and left Gaza with the world’s highest concentration of child amputees. He’s also expected to make the case for continued war with Iran, which began with a triple-tap Tomahawk missile strike on a girls school. Two major protests are scheduled today: -12PM at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, directly outside the UN, two hours before Netanyahu speaks. -4PM at Bryant Park and marches to the UN, two hours after Netanyahu speaks.

كلمة حق في الموقف الأردني: في خطابه أمام الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة، حمل جلالة الملك عبدالله الثاني صوت فلسطين إلى العالم بوضوح وشجاعة؛ صوت غزة المحاصرة والمنكوبة، وصوت الضفة الغربية والقدس في مواجهة الاستيطان والضم وإرهاب المستوطنين والتهجير القسري. لم يكن الخطاب مجاملة دبلوماسية، بل موقفًا سياسيًا وأخلاقيًا سمّى الجرائم بمسمياتها، وواجه ازدواجية المعايير، وذكّر العالم بأن تجويع المدنيين وتهجيرهم وحشرهم في مساحة تتقلص يومًا بعد يوم ليس دفاعًا عن النفس ولا اجراء أمني، وأن الضم الفعلي للأرض الفلسطينية جريمة لا يمكن تطبيعها أو مكافأتها بالصمت. الدبلوماسية ليست كلامًا ناعمًا؛ إنها قوة ناعمة حين تُسخَّر لكشف الحقيقة، وحماية الحقوق، ومساءلة مرتكبي الجرائم. وهذا ما يفعله الأردن: يحوّل منبره ومكانته وعلاقاته الدولية إلى قوة سياسية وأخلاقية دفاعًا عن الشعب الفلسطيني وحقه في الحرية والكرامة وتقرير المصير. من #فلسطين، كل الاحترام والتقدير للأردن، ملكًا وحكومةً وشعبًا، على هذا الموقف الأصيل والثابت. لقد مثّل جلالة الملك فلسطين وقضيتها بأبهى صورة، وأثبت مجددًا أن صوت الحق، حين يُقال بشجاعة، هو أقوى أشكال الدبلوماسية. 🇯🇴🇵🇸 #الاردن @AymanHsafadi @ForeignMinistry @QueenRania @KingAbdullahII

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: Atomic and nuclear bombs are in the hands of the Israeli regime, but the inspectors are requested to come to Iran. Israel has murdered savagely over 70,000 innocents in Gaza, but Iran, while behind the table of negotiation, was bombed. Israel has the bombs, has weapons of mass destruction, is not a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, during her shameful life has not allowed a single inspection, but they are rewarded by all the means necessary for them to be able to bomb any capital in the region at will.

Biden’s free speech violations took the form of censorship on social media. Trump’s crackdown on free speech is taking the form of criminal charges, imprisonment, surveillance and deportation, ADC President and Legal Director @JeninYounesEsq tells The New York Times in a new article examining how the Trump administration has used Charlie Kirk’s assassination to crack down on political speech.

The Israeli ambassador to the UN said NYC’s Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, should be arrested for “incitement.” Did Ambassador Danon forget he’s in the United States, not Israel? “Incitement” is routinely criminalized in Israel, particularly when Palestinians engage in political speech, with people facing months or even years in prison. But this is the United States, where political speech is protected by the First Amendment.

French authorities have banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations, prosecuted activists under “glorifying terrorism” laws and moved to dissolve pro-Palestinian organizations. Macron’s speech at the UNGA very well could violate some of the laws that he himself passed.
🚨🇫🇷 BREAKING — President Macron: “Sovereignty for Lebanon. Sovereignty for Palestine. It Is Shameful. Shame on All of Us. We Recognize Palestine (some very cynically) — Yet It Has No Sovereignty — There is No Peace.” The Palestinian Delegation Broke Out in Applause.

Under no circumstance should Americans accept that their constitutional rights end inside an airport That’s why I’ve filed a lawsuit for injunctive relief vs DHS and an amicus brief with SCOTUS in support of George Anibowei I couldn’t have done this without @adc and @JeninYounesEsq - real free speech warriors defending our rights with consistency
Max Blumenthal explains to Tucker Carlson that the Israel Gov is working with the Trump Admin to target American’s 1st & 4th Amend Rights at the border. @JeninYounesEsq of the ADC has filed a lawsuit and briefing to the Supreme Court to issue a nationwide standard at borders that is compliant with the Constitution & 4th Amendment. Meaningful legal representation is severely lacking in our country. If we had 50K Jenins to fight the ADL’s 50K Israel legal brigade, it would be a fair fight. But right now, if you fall victim to this violation of the constitution at the behest of Israel, finding good legal representation is scarce. In short, follow and support Jenin.
