It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Is there no crime that Israel can commit in full view of the world that it can’t get away with? No crime too grotesque, no crime too depraved, no crime too sadistic?
