Happy to announce that next week @OUPAcademic will publish my new book, "The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Everyone Needs to Know." In a concise Q&A format, the book explains the key events, examines the issues, and presents the conflicting views and narratives of both sides

To the people celebrating the mass murder of Israeli civilians, you have lost your humanity. To the people enthusiastically calling for Israel to decimate Gaza, densely populated with 2 million Palestinian civilians, you have lost your humanity. Israelis and Palestinians are real

In a new survey, 4 out of 5 Israeli Jews believe the government and Netanyahu are to blame for Hamas's attack last week (that includes 79% of the government's supporters). A majority of Israeli Jews want Netanyahu to resign at the end of the war:

I’m a scholar of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a longtime advocate for peace and for Palestinian rights. I have publicly opposed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and its blockade and now destruction of Gaza. I support the rights of students and faculty to peacefully

This piece by my @UCLA colleague, Prof. David Myers, accurately describes what I also witnessed on UCLA's campus on Sunday. To keep the peace, we both put ourselves between some pro-Palestinian protesters (who were mostly disciplined and non-confrontational) and a small

This graffiti on Mercer Island synagogue in Seattle is a clear example of when anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Blaming all Jews for Israel's actions is antisemitic.

I've written about why I've changed my position from initially rejecting the genocide charge against Israel to now concluding that the Israeli government is guilty of committing the crime of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. You can read it on Medium medium.com/p/why-i-change…

Exit polls indicate that 79% of American Jews voted for Kamala Harris. If that figure is accurate, then Trump received the lowest share of the Jewish vote in 24 years. The reason for this is that for non-Orthodox Jews, liberalism has become an integral element of what being

I hope @DNC will recognize before it's too late that it's necessary and important for a Palestinian-American voice to be platformed and heard at the convention.

I welcome the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, Sinwar, Deif and Haniyeh, and for Israel’s PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant. Hamas leaders should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity they undoubtedly committed

It's hard to overstate just how bad Netanyahu's incoming government is for secular and liberal Israeli Jews, for Arab citizens of Israel, for Palestinians in the West Bank, and, most likely, for Israel's relations with its Western and Arab allies.

Replying to @YousefMunayyer
