Israeli forces and settlers intensified coordinated attacks across the occupied West Bank, injuring Palestinians, carrying out arrests and threatening further demolitions.
Key Developments
At least 10 Palestinians injured in settler and military attacks across the West Bank.
Israeli forces raid homes in Yatta, threatening residents with arrests and demolitions.
Arrests reported in Jerusalem and Jenin during overnight military raids.

Israeli occupation forces and settlers intensified coordinated attacks across the occupied West Bank on Friday and Saturday, injuring Palestinians, raiding homes, carrying out arrests and expanding settlement activity in several governorates.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, at least ten Palestinians were injured during separate attacks carried out by Israeli settlers and occupation forces.
In the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, two Palestinians were injured after settlers stormed privately owned Palestinian land and assaulted residents.
Witnesses said the Israeli army deployed reinforcements to the area as settlers gathered near the Abu Raafat Al-Hajj Hussein Mosque.
In another incident northwest of Nablus, settlers seized land in Beit Imrin, taking over the Al-Qemma restaurant and café along with a house under construction before raising Israeli flags over the site.
Further south, in Masafer Yatta, eight Palestinians were injured after settlers, backed by Israeli forces, attacked residents in the Asfi al-Fawqa area, according to the Red Crescent.
Settlers also entered the archaeological site of Khirbet Rabud near Dura, south of Hebron (Al Khalil), while a new settlement outpost was reportedly established on Palestinian land belonging to the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin.
Homes Raided, Residents Threatened
Israeli forces continued overnight military operations across the southern West Bank, raiding several homes in Yatta, south of Hebron.
Anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamra told WAFA that soldiers searched homes in the Al-Mazra’a area, causing extensive property damage.
Among the homes raided was that of the Al-Jabour family, whose members were reportedly threatened with arrest and warned that their homes in the Huwara area of Masafer Yatta could be demolished if they resisted repeated settler attacks.
The Al-Jabour family has endured repeated assaults by Israeli settlers, often accompanied by occupation soldiers, who have attacked residents and damaged agricultural land in the area.
Arrest Campaign Expands
Meanwhile, Israeli forces launched additional raids across occupied East Jerusalem and the northern West Bank.
According to Al Mayadeen, two Palestinian youths were detained during a raid on Qalandiya refugee camp, north of Jerusalem.
In the village of Fahma, southwest of Jenin, Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian man identified as the father of three Palestinian prisoners after raiding his home.
Israeli occupation troops also entered the town of Al-Doha, west of Bethlehem, deploying throughout several neighborhoods.
The latest operations form part of Israel’s nearly daily military raids across the occupied West Bank, which are frequently accompanied by arrests, searches and the destruction of civilian property.
According to official Palestinian figures, intensified Israeli military operations and settler violence since October 2023 have killed at least 1,175 Palestinians, injured 12,919, displaced 33,000, and resulted in the arrest of nearly 24,000 Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank.
The amerikkkan government has just sentenced several anti-ice protestors to lengthy prison sentences , anywhere from 22 months to 100 years behind bars . Of course the message here is " don't fight us and our racist policies or you'll never be heard from again" . The most insidious sentence is for one of the defendants who had anarchist literature . Daniel Estrada was sentenced to 30 years for " possession and movement of radical literature " because he had some anarchist pamphlets ! 30 fucking years ?! So much for freedom of speech and thought . That is just fucking outrageous .
Prairieland Anti-ICE Protesters Given Lengthy Prison Sentences
Read our editorial on the increasing reactionization of the US here.
Fifteen defendants convicted in connection with the 2025 anti-ICE protest outside the Prairieland Detention Center in northern Texas were sentenced to federal prison terms ranging from 22 months to 100 years.
Federal judges sentenced eight of the defendants on June 23 and the remaining seven on July 1. The convictions included attempted murder, rioting, and providing material support for terrorism. The state argued that the defendants participated in a “coordinated attack” on the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025, during which an Alvarado police officer was shot and lightly wounded. The defendants and their supporters maintain they were conducting a peaceful noise demonstration involving fireworks. 22 people were ultimately arrested in connection with the case.
Benjamin Song, a former Marine reservist, was given the lengthiest sentence of 100 years in prison. Prosecutors argued that Song was the lead organizer of the protest and the individual who fired at and hit the police officer. In a closing statement, Song, for the first time, explained his motivations:
“What we all saw happen to Renee Good and Alex Pretti is my worst nightmare,” said Song. “When I saw Lieutenant Thomas Gross stop pursuing and point his gun at the back of a running, unarmed protester, like he testified, I was terrified. […] As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I understood what I was seeing. I knew what it meant for someone to lean forward into a gun, […] to prepare for recoil. […] It is impossible to say that I was trying to ambush anyone or planning violence.”
Ines Soto, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Savanna Batten, Elizabeth Soto, and Meagan Morris were all sentenced to 50 years in prison. Maricela Rueda, another demonstrator, was sentenced to 70 years, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada was sentenced to 30 years on charges connected to possession and movement of radical literature in the form of anarchist pamphlets. Joy Gibson and Rebecca Morgan were sentenced to 15 years. Lynette Sharp and John Thomas were sentenced to 110 months. Seth Sikes was sentenced to six years.
Nathan Baumann, who was convicted for the bulk of the vandalism that took place during the protest, was sentenced to a much shorter 22 months. The vandalism is one of the state’s main justifications for allegations of terrorism and rioting. The defendants report that they did not know Baumann until the day of the protest.
All defendants will be required to “jointly and separately” pay $4,408.95 to the Prairieland Detention Center.
Outside of the courthouse in Fort Worth, family members and supporters of the defendants criticized the unusual and excessive sentences. In a statement released after the sentencing, the advocacy group Support the Prairieland Defendants said relatives and community members viewed the punishments as “cruel” and “starkly disproportionate” to the defendants’ actions, and pledged to continue legal and public support.
In December of last year, the Trump administration ordered police to investigate individuals and groups based on “antifa” (short for antifascist) ideology rather than purported illegal activity. This order has allowed prosecutors to add terrorism enhancements to simple charges, including trespassing and obstruction of justice. Additionally, common practices such as transporting literature and deleting messages have been cast as felony obstruction with terrorism enhancements, leading to lengthy prison sentences.

No matter how badly the odds against you are , the resistance must and will continue . The shit that the common people of Iran and Gaza are going through makes this whole lying "canada first" shit seem so trivial . And that's because it is trivial . There is no "canada first" . The rich are only out for themselves and don't give a fuck about the rest of us . From the oil companies to the grocery stores, it's all a fucking hoax . They will squeeze every last dime out of you in the name of their flag .
Imperialism is dying a slow painful death .
‘If You Strike, You Will Be Struck’: Qalibaf, Baqaei Issue Fresh Warnings to Washington
Senior Iranian officials warned Washington against further military action while defending Tehran’s stance on the Strait of Hormuz and condemning NATO.
Key Developments
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned the US against further attacks.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei accused NATO of admitting European complicity.
Senior Iranian lawmakers vowed continued resistance following recent US strikes.
Officials said Washington and its allies would bear responsibility for further escalation.
Several senior Iranian officials issued strongly worded statements on Thursday, warning the United States against further military action while accusing Western governments of complicity in the recent US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Washington had failed to learn that “bullying and breaking its commitments” would no longer come without consequences.
“Let me say it clearly: If you strike, you will be struck,” Qalibaf said, cautioning the United States against further escalation.
Turning to maritime security, he reiterated Tehran’s position that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened only under arrangements determined by Iran, rejecting what he described as attempts by Washington to dictate conditions through military pressure.
Baqaei Accuses NATO
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei also escalated Tehran’s rhetoric, accusing NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte of effectively acknowledging Europe’s role in the US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
Baqaei said Rutte’s repeated remarks demonstrated that European governments had not remained neutral during what Tehran considers an unlawful military campaign.
He argued that countries providing military bases, infrastructure or logistical support for the operation could not evade responsibility for its consequences.
The spokesman also criticized Rutte’s public defense of the military operation, saying his remarks reflected “a subordinate mentality” and insisting that political praise could not erase responsibility for an illegal war.
His comments came after Rutte said on the sidelines of the NATO summit that around 5,000 aircraft had departed from Europe in support of the US military operation against Iran and described the strikes as “absolutely necessary.”
Continued Resistance
Other senior Iranian officials echoed the warnings.
Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the United States would receive a “crushing response,” adding that Americans would be deprived of security “wherever they are.”
Committee spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei urged Washington to expect “a powerful slap” from Iran, saying the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had taught Iranians not to fear the United States.
North amerikkkan news channels are hesitant to show stories about any resistance to western policies unless they can frame it as terrorists against democracy . But it is not like that. It's people against the terrorism of capitalist/imperialism , such as this :

This article from The Final Call is fucking excellent . I actually didn't know that the supreme court in amerikkka has upheld the "legality" of the white house removing depictions of slavery from it's walls. Try and erase history , assholes , but it fucking happened and is still happening. Ignorance is a fucked up , enraging , and sad thing .
We've got shithead "academics" writing shit about Stalin's censorship, but this is happening here and now.
What to the Black community is
America’s 250th anniversary? A Philadelphia reflection in a time of erasure,
A hand sign drawn where the panel once hung at the Independence Mall, President’s House display.
PHILADELPHIA—As America marches toward its 250th anniversary, the nation prepares fireworks, parades, and patriotic spectacles. But in Black Philadelphia—the city of Richard Allen, Octavius Catto, Cecil B. Moore, and MOVE—the mood is far more complex. This milestone is not simply a birthday. It is a mirror. And what that mirror reveals depends entirely on who is allowed to stand in front of it.
Nowhere is this tension more visible than at the President’s House site on Independence Mall, where the recent removal of images depicting enslaved Black Africans—including President George Washington’s enslaved chef Hercules and the young freedom seeker Ona Judge—has ignited outrage.
And on June 18, a federal court intensified that outrage when it ruled that the administration is within its rights to remove and replace the slavery exhibits at the site.
The ruling landed just weeks before July 4th celebrations marking the Semiquincentennial—a moment when Philadelphia expects millions of visitors seeking the story of America’s founding. Instead, many Black Philadelphians see a story being rewritten in real time.
“It’s something to celebrate the fact that we’ve come this far,” said Diane James, a former social worker from North Philadelphia, “but in terms of doing things for the people who helped build the country, I don’t think we’ve come far enough.”
Her words echo across the city like a drumbeat.
Ms. James remembers visiting the President’s House years ago and seeing the attempt—however limited—to acknowledge the enslaved Black people who lived and labored in Washington’s household. Seeing those images removed in the lead up to the 250th anniversary struck her as painfully symbolic.
“They cherry-pick the people they want you to see,” she said. “It was always Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Thurgood Marshall—a few people. But not all the people who made the inventions that made this country move forward. They didn’t get mentioned at all.”
The court’s ruling only deepened that sense of erasure.
The Avenging the Ancestors Coalition (ATAC)—the group that fought for the original exhibit in the early 2000s—expressed disappointment but vowed to continue the legal battle. Attorney Michael Coard, who heads the coalition, posted that “this definitely is not the end of the fight.”
Philadelphia City Council President Kenyatta Johnson issued a sharply worded statement, calling the decision “deeply disappointing,” especially during the Juneteenth holiday.
“The President’s House site represents a critical chapter in our nation’s history,” he said. “African American history is American history. … We must not retreat from telling the complete story of who we are as a nation.”
The question hangs in the air: How can America celebrate 250 years of independence while erasing the people it kept unfree and in bondage?
Nation of Islam Delaware Valley Region Student Minister Rodney Muhammad is based in Philadelphia at Mosque No. 12. He is a student of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, under the leadership of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
“Too much has happened in the country that Black people have not shared in for collective celebration,” he told The Final Call, noting that some are now questioning whether to sit out the holiday. He pointed to Frederick Douglass’s famous message on what the Fourth of July means for Black Americans, called, “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?”
“After 250 years, America has the entire human family within her borders,” Student Min. Rodney observed, but he argued that while many who came to the country have advanced, “Black people who were here at her inception have yet to collectively advance” and enjoy fundamental rights and opportunities. “If anyone should be involved in deep reflection, it should be Black people,” he said.
He cited the recent court decision ordering the removal of the monument to the nation’s past enslavement of Black people, days before the Fourth of July, as evidence of a reluctance “to tell the truth about her history.”
For Brother John Muhammad, a registered member of the Nation of Islam at Mosque No. 35 in Wilmington, Delaware, located 40 miles from Philadelphia—America’s 250th anniversary is not a party—it is a spiritual checkpoint.
“Although America’s celebrating their 250th anniversary,” he said, “for me … that date means a lot because Master Fard Muhammad declared our independence on that day.”
Master Fard Muhammad, The Great Mahdi, Founder of the Nation of Islam and Teacher of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, declared independence for the Black man and woman of America.
“Now, the history of the 4th of July shows that it is the Independence Day of the American White man. They wrote the Declaration of Independence for themselves.
The White man did not put anything in the Declaration of Independence for the benefit of the Black Man, who was the servitude-slave of the White man, at that time,” the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote on page 68 of His book, “The Fall of America.”
Brother John Muhammad echoes that clarity. “I think it is something for White America to celebrate. The Founding Fathers meant well, but at the root of their founding was the disrespect of darker peoples of the world.”
For Black people, he said, the moment of the country’s 250 years demands reflection, not revelry. “It’s something we should reflect on and have conversations about our role in America as the chosen people of God,” he said.
While the federal government struggles with how—or whether—to include Black stories in the national narrative of commemoration and celebration, Black institutions in Philadelphia are stepping into the void.
At the October Gallery in Germantown, the “Black Philadelphia 250” project is doing what the President’s House failed to do: tell the truth boldly.
Now in its 41st year, the gallery has unveiled a sweeping visual tribute to Black Philadelphians who shaped the city and the nation. The centerpiece is a poster pairing historical ancestors with modern figures, surrounded by portraits of icons like Richard Allen, Rev. Leon Sullivan, Cecil B. Moore, and Dr. Rebecca Cole. Gallery representative Mercer Redcross describes the exhibit as “a celebration, a protest, a remembrance, and a reckoning.”
“I don’t see how you can pull one out,” he said. “Celebration, struggle, and resilience have defined the Black American experience from the beginning.”
On the gallery’s third floor, the “Instagram” wall features 21 portraits—from former President Barack Obama to late U.S. Congressman John Lewis—that many young visitors cannot identify. For Mr. Redcross, that gap is the very reason the exhibit exists.
“Transform, then transact,” he said. “Education first. Always.”
Across Philadelphia—where the Founding Fathers drafted and signed both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution—Black residents are wrestling with the meaning of this anniversary.
Duridra Buren, a state worker and artist, sees the milestone as both a challenge and an opportunity. “You can’t tell that story without us,” she said. “We built this country whether we wanted to or not. You didn’t allow us to be anything but underneath your feet.”
She refuses to let the moment pass without joy—but insists joy must be paired with truth.
“I am going to celebrate, but as I celebrate, I am also going to educate,” she said.
Renee Dupre, a financial services professional, sees the anniversary as a chance for visibility.
“Finally, our voice will be heard,” she said. “We are Americans and we should be proud. This is our home.” But she is clear eyed about the nation’s unfinished business. “They owe us to be equal. We are not equal.”
Jeff Hart, a former radio host and television producer, warns against patriotic amnesia. “This should be an educational campaign,” he said. “Not a glossing over of the heartaches that brought us here,” he said.
Mercer Redcross pointed The Final Call toward the manifesto hanging on the gallery wall in the second-floor room designated “The room of Philadelphia Black Genius”—a declaration that reads less like an exhibit label and more like marching orders for a people who refuse to be erased.
It begins with a simple, unflinching truth: A Black centered commemoration cannot be built on myth. It must be built on memory—the memory of those who survived the Middle Passage, who labored without pay, who resisted in fields, churches, courtrooms, and streets.
The manifesto outlines the work ahead:
• Expose the gap between American ideals and Black reality;
• Honor the ancestors whose blood fertilized the soil of this nation;
• Challenge the country to confront the systems still rooted in slavery’s logic.
“This is not bitterness,” the text reads. “It is clarity.”
And, then comes the line that cuts through the patriotic noise of the Semiquincentennial like a blade: “A Black celebration is not a party—it is a statement.”
If America celebrates its independence, then Black America must celebrate its endurance.
Our commemoration, the manifesto insists, must highlight:
• The brilliance of Black survival against impossible odds;
• The creation of Black culture, institutions, and intellectual traditions;
• The ongoing fight for justice, dignity, and self-determination
Mr. Redcross concluded, “While America waves flags, we raise truth. And in a year when images of enslaved Africans are quietly removed from the President’s House— when the nation tries once again to tidy up its origin story for public display—that truth becomes not just a remembrance, but a responsibility.
Black Philadelphia is not waiting to be included in America’s 250th anniversary. It is declaring, with the force of history behind it, that there is no America without us. The question is not whether we will be written into the story. The question is whether the nation is finally ready to face the story we tell.”
In the book “The Fall of America,” in Chapter 17, titled “Independence,” the Honorable Elijah Muhammad writes, “Now what do we have to celebrate in the fact that the white man is enjoying freedom over us? In celebrating the White man’s independence, we make a fool out of ourselves. We cannot celebrate his day.”
