- Breaking: The final count from the Muslim Community Organization, one of the five mosques serving as a caucus site for the first time in the history of the #IowaCaucuses - Sanders 115 - Yang 2 (no viability) - Buttigieg 2 (no viability) - Warren 1 - Every one else 0
- This isn't blue MAGA. It's worse. Arab Americans voted in droves for Rashida Tlaib on Tuesday. The first elected Arab official in Dearborn was a woman - Suzanne Sareini. The first Arab City Council president was a woman - Susan Dabaja.
- I hesitate to share this video from my village in south Lebanon. But with the Biden administration insisting that the Israeli campaign of madness in Lebanon is "limited", it is important to show that Lebanon is already seeing Gaza-like destruction
00:00 - There were no Situation Room meetings for Shireen Abu Akleh, Omar Assad, Mohammad Khdour and Tawfic Abdel JabbarToday, @VP and I met in the Situation Room with the U.S. hostage deal negotiation team following the murder of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages by Hamas. We are devastated and outraged. Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. We also discussed next
- Just a reminder: German police were arresting people for wearing Keffiyehs and cracking down on Palestinian rights protests around Nakba Day after Shireen Abu Akleh was killed. So the German team can spare us the hypocrisy with their protests in Qatar. Start at home, friends.
- Israel is losing in the battlefield, losing strategically, losing in the court of global public opinion, losing in international courts. And it's taking out its rage on Palestinian and Lebanese civilians because it can.
- A major thing happened yesterday, and it barely received any attention. The Biden administration called a UN Security Council resolution "non-binding," an assertion that shakes the post World War II international system to its core.
- Not even 10 percent of the votes in, more than 12,000 Democrats have voted uncommitted in Michigan. That's larger than Trump's victory margin in Michigan in 2016.
- .@ADL, this you? "With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state" adl.org/media/6773/dow…We reiterate -- amplifying theories about people of color “replacing” white people through immigrations, birth rate, and other economic, social, & political means serves to normalize the ideas that animate white supremacist extremists. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
- Israel has informed the UN that 1.1 million people have 24 hours to leave the northern Gaza strip. You know how you read about ethnic cleansing and genocide in history books and wonder, how could it happen? That's how: Drumming up anger to achieve full dehumanization.
- The New York Times still has not covered the Amnesty report accusing Israel of apartheid. (I triple checked on the app, website and google news). NYT has a Jerusalem bureau. And this isn't some distant conflict. Israel is the top recipient of US foreign aid.
