Ikhtiyor Khushvaktov, a resident of Ontario, CA, is currently detained at the GEO Adelanto ICE Processing Center despite having a pending asylum application and a valid work permit through 2030. He entered the U.S. on a student visa and properly filed for asylum before his visa expired. While traveling to New York, he was detained by ICE agents at the airport. His family and community are deeply concerned about his prolonged detention while his asylum case awaits adjudication. We are calling on congressional representatives to advocate for his immediate release so he can return to his home and community while his case proceeds through the legal system.

The Toronto Star, particularly columnist Shree Paradkar, has been courageously covering anti-Palestinian racism and the climate of intimidation within the healthcare system. This coverage is vital for upholding patient safety, protecting workers' rights, and ensuring healthcare workers can advocate for human rights without fear of reprisal. Send a letter of thanks to the Toronto Star to encourage continued coverage of these critical stories.

In coverage spanning July 24–29, CBS News played up Islamophobia by amplifying unverified claims and manufactured controversies against Mayor Zohran Mamdani. By legitimizing false assertions and smears, CBS weaponized Jewish anxiety to target a Muslim elected official while sidelining anti-Zionist Jewish voices and human rights perspectives. This is part of a broader disinformation strategy: a coordinated campaign to delegitimize and demonize a Muslim leader who refuses to silence his opposition to the Gaza genocide. Demand CBS News issue corrections and commit to responsible journalism that doesn't facilitate Islamophobic, hate-driven propaganda. Coverage addressed: “NYC stabbings prompt criticism of Mamdani's anti-Israel rhetoric from some leaders” “NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani on accusations he's fueling antisemitism: 'There's no room for hate or bigotry of any kind'" “Petition asks Mayor Mamdani not to attend 25th 9/11 remembrance ceremony” “Petition from 9/11 families asks NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend remembrance ceremony” “Mayor Mamdani responds to criticism over lack of Jewish representation on judicial panel” “Lack of Jewish representation on Mayor Mamdani's judicial panel prompts criticism from some N.Y. attorneys” NOTE: Please select desired tone, proofread response and regenerate if needed!

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights has courageously opened "Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present" — the first exhibit in a Canadian national museum dedicated to Palestinian experiences of displacement. Despite organized pressure campaigns demanding its closure, the museum's Board of Trustees and leadership have stood firm in their commitment to centering Palestinian human rights and lived experiences. Send a message of gratitude and support to counter the wave of complaints they've been receiving.

The International Criminal Court faces an unprecedented assault on its independence. After ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, he was removed from office in a politically motivated campaign. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly admitted U.S. attempts to "bring the ICC to heel" were intended to "defend Bibi". Now, as the ICC prepares to elect six new judges in December 2026, we must ensure these critical positions are filled by impartial jurists committed to equal justice for all including Palestinian people, and not judges who will bow to US and Israeli pressure. The Netanyahu and Gallant arrest warrants must be upheld and enforced. The Court's credibility depends on equal application of the law.

Canadian law enforcement has charged pro-Palestine activists with terrorism for speaking at protests, while Canadian citizens who openly served in the Israeli military during Gaza's genocide face no investigation. Ahmad Hassan Hajahmad faces terrorism charges for "public statements," yet Canadians who fundraised for Israeli military equipment and served on the frontlines walk free. This is selective political policing that undermines the rule of law. Demand equal application of Canadian law: investigate all foreign fighters or drop the political prosecutions.

The Israeli military has systematically destroyed hundreds of cultural heritage sites across Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran—including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Baalbek, Tyre, and Golestan Palace. Despite this unprecedented assault on global heritage, prominent historical and archaeological societies have remained silent or actively suppressed member efforts to speak out. The American Historical Association vetoed its own members' resolution condemning scholasticide in Gaza. The Society for American Archaeology has said nothing about the destruction of archaeological sites. High-profile public historians like Sir Simon Schama and Dame Mary Beard—who have built careers celebrating ancient history—have either defended Israel or stayed silent. This campaign demands that these historians and historical societies break their silence, denounce the IDF's bombing of historical sites, and demand an end to Israel's blatant disregard for international law governing cultural property.

CNN journalist Katherine Koretski's recent article on Zohran Mamdani and the ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu exemplifies deeply problematic journalism that obscures the gravity of Israel's war crimes, platforms Zionist propaganda unchallenged, and undermines international law and human rights. Her reporting frames the ICC’s evidence-based warrants as mere allegations, genocide as Mamdani’s opinion, and a controversial pro-Israel advocacy group as a neutral “Jewish human rights organization.” Furthermore, she continually misses the point—the U.S.’s legal obligation to prevent and punish genocide—and fails to critically examine the U.S. government’s active obstruction of justice. Call out CNN for normalizing impunity for genocide and U.S. complicity in Israel's crimes. NOTE: Please select desired tone/length, proofread response and regenerate if needed!

PayPal provides full service to illegal Israeli settlers while banning 5 million Palestinians in the West Bank. Organizations like the Hebron Fund and Friends of the IDF use PayPal to raise funds that support settler violence and military operations in occupied territories. Congressman Ro Khanna was recently detained by Israeli settlers for 1.5 hours while touring the Hebron Hills region of the West Bank. There is a substantial likelihood that PayPal contributed to this violence by enabling donations to both settlers and to the IDF. After the abuses faced by Rep. Ro Khanna, it's time to demand accountability. PayPal's headquarters is in Rep. Khanna's Silicon Valley district—he has the power to investigate and end PayPal's discriminatory policy that facilitates these crimes. We're urging Ro Khanna to investigate PayPal's role in enabling the settler violence, ban the use of PayPal's services for such purposes, and demand that PayPal provide services to the millions of Palestinians unfairly locked out of the platform.

Thank CBS News reporter Andrew Ramos for covering Sam Saadeh’s experience of being removed from a United Airlines flight and then being forced to remove his t-shirt advocating for Palestinian children in order to fly. While Ramos centered Saadeh’s experience and referenced the UN report on Israel’s killing of at least 20,000 children, the segment omitted the report’s explicit finding that Israel's deliberate targeting of Palestinian children constitutes genocide. Urge CBS to include this critical context and reject false balance when presenting Israeli denials of documented facts.
