    Everyone knew this was a scam. There are now two Gazas: the 58% occupied by Israel, completely flattened, which has been completely purged of Palestinians. And the 42% that is now a concentration camp, where all survivors live without sufficient food, water, shelter, or medicine.
    Kushner confirmed reconstruction will begin only in areas of Gaza under Israeli control, saying “no reconstruction funds will be going into areas that Hamas still controls.” He described plans for a “new Gaza,” built and secured by an international force to provide Palestinians

    They're claiming they raped the detainee in self-defense. And that tells you everything you need to know about Israel's "right to defend itself."

    This is not a battle. These are not even airstrikes. These are IDF engineering units simply walking through and systematically dynamiting entire districts after they have been cleared. They're recording videos of themselves doing it. They're engineering humanitarian crisis.
    Watching our cities get blown up and destroyed one block at a time has been extremely painful.

    First and foremost, it is a mark of shame on the Jewish state and its supporters. They starve babies to death and they wage war on humanitarians. It's who they are. They are what the darkest evil in the world looks like today. Don't let them dilute ownership of this.

    Imagine: someone named Sid Rosenberg spreading such crude and bigoted tropes about a Muslim man. There's a pattern here we need to call out. Racism has festered among the Jewish community for far too long. So long they think this is normal or acceptable discourse.

    You're really taking such a paternalistic approach here. Have you tried listening to why people no longer have faith in taking a "seat at the table?"

    This is a thread about who I am, recent Twitter drama around a certain Professor, and what I see as a dangerous attitude that will destroy the push against Racism. Someone rightfully pointed out that I should write my own damn thread

    You're onto something. I think he's insecure because he's unhappy, and not living up to his dreams. He's found his passion. He needs to be brave and pursue it. Maybe he needs to see a therapist to figure out where his hangup is.

    This is just pathetic. This is literally what Israel devotes its R&D and talents toward: new and evermore petty ways of harassing, intimidating, and persecuting Palestinians.

    The irony of ritually killing a suspect's pet for crimes involving animal cruelty. But nobody thought about the irony. Killing dogs is just something cops do in the US.

    Donkeys are honorable, and have been some of the greatest heroes during the Gaza genocide. Donkeys carried food, water, and personal belongings of the displaced. They carried the wounded to hospitals. The Arab League is worth less than a donkey's dung.

    Here's a radical thought: everyone on the No-Fly List should know that they're on the No-Fly List, and deserves a day in court to challenge it. This War on Terror slide into police state politics needs to end.

    It's worth reading about her family's interactions with Antony Blinken, and how completely useless he was. He treated their appointments like therapy sessions rather than using the power of his office to seek accountability.
