Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada has been arrested in Switzerland. Abunimah is most known for his work in debunking atrocity propaganda about the Al Aqsa Flood, beginning October 7, 2023, as well as being the executive editor at EI. He has worked tirelessly in reporting on the apartheid system in #Palestine for well over a decade prior to that, and in addition to his own work, he has made great efforts to ensure that voices from the ground in #Gaza have been made heard, particularly over the past 475 days. He is the second journalist at Electronic Intifada to be detained for his role as a journalist over the past year, as Asa Winstanley had his home raided and devices seized in October of 2024.

Switzerland meanwhile used to be a nation that prided itself on neutrality and democracy, but since the early days of the West's war against Russia in Ukraine, its citizens have found themselves in service to the #NATO hegemon. While they may not be known for neutrality anymore, perhaps they'll not be forgotten for their willingness to aid those involved with genocide, both presently, and under the Third Reich.

If you weren't aware of EI yet, hopefully it's pretty clear that it's time to start paying attention to their work. They do a weekly livestream on Rumble, Twitter, Twitch, and Youtube, as well as have their written reporting available at ElectronicIntifada.net.
