Zahr, a Michigan school board trustee and comedian, was detained on December 26 during a show in the northern Israeli city, home to a large Arab population. Police asked if he supported or opposed Israel; he declined to answer and was freed without charges, later noting it was '1% of what happens to Palestinians every single day.' Michigan Rep. Alabas Farhat and trustee Adel A. Mozip called for his release, citing concerns over Arab mistreatment, while the incident fueled online backlash over free speech for Palestinian advocates. Zahr, now safe with family, plans to share more details soon.

Forty-four Democratic representatives, led by Pramila Jayapal and Greg Casar, sent a December 3 letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding Global Magnitsky sanctions, visa bans, and asset freezes on senior Pakistani officials. They cite transnational repression against US critics like Noorani and musician Salman Ahmad, whose family faced abductions, plus demands for Imran Khan's release from Adiala Jail where he has been held since 2023. The letter questions US ties with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir amid rigged 2024 elections and abuses against opposition, journalists, and minorities. Pakistani-Americans voice strong support for ending military influence.

Key Takeaway

Journalist Ahmed Noorani's brothers were dragged from their home, beaten, and held for over a month after his report exposed military corruption. This personal ordeal highlights the threats reaching US soil from Pakistan's crackdown.

Posted on December 27 by pro-Israel account VividProwess, the video gained over 15,000 likes and thousands of replies labeling the act unhinged, with jokes about stereotypes and mental health stats from Pew Research showing 40% of white liberal women aged 30-49 with prior diagnoses. The protest draws from 'cacerolazo' traditions—Latin American pot-banging to symbolize hunger—revived in 2025 for Gaza's famine warnings, seen in London, Philadelphia, and recent UK actions like a Manchester mall flag display. While critics call it performative, supporters frame it as solidarity amid the Israel-Hamas war's third year and aid-reported food shortages.

Key Takeaway

A woman wrapped in a keffiyeh scarf bangs a frying pan while shouting 'Free Palestine,' capturing a moment that's now flooded with sharp online critiques.
