Wrong. Just b/c some westerners such as yourself don’t know the history of our region and the slogans challenging Jewish existence in our sovereign state, violently manifested on Oct 7 yet again, doesn’t mean you get to redefine this message.
The way that certain people read “Free Palestine” as “I hate Jews” feels remarkably similar to the way certain people read “Black Lives Matter” as “white lives don’t matter.”

Terrorism doesn’t only run on bombs, rifles and rockets - terror orgs invest a lot in spreading their extreme ideas to susceptible communities. US Universities must ask themselves why they were the chosen vector of infiltration into society and how they allowed it to happen.
Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses.
While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about

Our progress: last year using organ chip technology, our STORMing Cancer team developed the first in vitro model of
#BarrettsOesophagus
and a model of
#colorectalcancer
that accurately recapitulates the mucus layer of the bowel -

"hasbara"? we ARE on campus, and have been dehumanized for 7 months by our peers. The brave Zionists demanding their loved ones back and a gov't that actually acts in the best interest of the State and the ppl of Israel, are unrelated to the vile ppl cheering our death in US unis

I have no problem with “Free Palestine” as is, but as we saw
@mit
, this is also accompanied with more blatant genocidal chants. Palestinians and Israelis deserve peace and coexistence and not getting dragged into other western rhetoric that is foreign and patronizing to us.
Genocidal chants directed at me and my ppl again
@mit
including also a threat against MIT president Sally Kornbluth. We want to grieve our disaster in peace, but all we get are reminders at our workplace and school that our death is justified.

And literally all of these facts were part of our matriculation exams to graduate from high school in Israel (even if taught from the Jewish-Israeli viewpoint). Obviously Western 18 year-olds don't know this, but the graduates of the UNRWA-Hamas school system don't either.

Sometimes you are the experimenter and sometimes you are the experimentee. Congrats to

on this important publication! I enjoyed being your lab rat for this study🐭
שמחים להציג את מאמרנו החדש בעיתון המדעי Cell, שבו חקרנו את השפעתם של ארבעה ממתיקים מלאכותיים- סכארין, סוקרלוז, אספרטיים, וסטביה על חיידקי המעי ותגובות הסוכר במחקר בבני אדם, במינונים נמוכים מה-ADI. להפתעתינו גילינו שכל ארבעת הממתיקים משפיעים מאד על חיידקי

Lies 🙄 Have you taken the Israeli matriculation exam in History and Civil Studies? Clearly not. Just because in the west you have to picture the rest of the world as a Marvel movie, doesn’t mean it is. Life’s complex, grow up. Solutions do not from simplicity and vilification.

לראשונה בעולם, טיפול רפואי המבוסס על טכנולוגיית העריכה הגנטית CRISPR אושר בבריטניה.
בגדול:
ההליך, שנקרא CASGEVY, נועד לטיפול באנמיה חרמשית ובבטא תלסמיה – מחלות תורשתיות הפוגעות בחלבון ההמוגלובין, נשא החמצן בתאי הדם האדומים. ⬇️

אני חושבת שההדרדרות בשיח נובעת מרומן בין רטוריקה חמאסית ושיח רחב של דה קולוניאליזם שצבר תאוצה באקדמיה (גם מחוץ לחוגים שפיתחו אותו במקור) וכפועל יוצא מזה אצל הסטודנטים הצעירים. זה תהליך ארוך (ולדעתי מכוון) שכנראה הבשיל בזמן למלחמה הזאת, בחסות הרשתות החברתיות ועידן הפוסט אמת.

This is how I respond when someone BSs and gives unfounded medical advice on social media.
Does drinking Kool Aid really cause cancer?🤔
בקטנה: פוסט שהועלה על ידי העיתונאי תומר אביטל והפך לוויראלי, מציג תמונה מסריקת PET CT של חולה סרטן ומעלה טיעונים דרמטיים נגד צריכת סוכר ואף מציע תכניות גמילה. בפועל, הפוסט שגוי, סובל מכשלים לוגים וקופץ למסקנות לא מבוססות.
בגדול:
