New York Correspondent, Books @haaretzcom @haaretz, working on a book about the legacy of conscientious objection โข Call me: [email protected]
New York, USA
Joined June 2018
For @guardian I wrote about being a conscientious objector, the army's role in shaping Israeli identity, and how, at 17, choosing against your society's upbringing demands a unique resolve: the determination to stand alone.

When the IDF releases this video of people getting shot and trampled to death as they're trying to get food for their starving children as if it will exonerate it--truly it has lost all moral and humane standards. How can you justify this?.

On @N12News Israel's most watched news show, former Likud MP Moshe Feiglin invokes ***Hitler*** to justify Gaza resettlement:. "As Hitler said, 'I cannot live if one Jew is left,' we can't live here if one 'Islamo-nazi' remains in Gaza.".

Most Israelis wonโt hear about the killing of 4-day-old twins and their mother by the IDF; it wonโt make the news. Media-driven dehumanization, erasure, especially by MSM like Channel 12 & figures like Yonit Levy, have desensitized the public and numbed their outrage. @N12News

It's telling Israel (allegedly) can conduct pinpoint operations thousands of kilometers away to a capture target with precision, yet just two kilometers from home, they use 5-ton bombs on families to eliminate minor threats. PS the hostages are still in Gaza.
Today was the best day of the war for Israel in months. Getting the No. 2 in Hezbollah and the No. 1 in Hamas within 24 hours (assuming it was Israel). Hats off to Israeli intelligence. They have utterly redeemed themselves.

After praising soldiers for killing sinwar, opposition member Benny Ganz says that the IDF will continue to operate in Gaza "for years to come." Nothing about long-term solution, security or peace. The vision the Israeli opposition offers is no different than the far-right.

Highly irresponsible to frame it like this. Article said there's a suspicion military chopper may have hit a few civilians--absolutely not killed "at least some". It's already been QTd by massacre denialists. Hundreds of testimonies and footage showed the slaughter of hundred.

Rep. Torres is obfuscating: conditioning aid (iron dome excluded) based on Israel's policies isn't a "slippery slope" -- it's the minimum can be done to hold a gov that has less than 20% approval. It's about accountability--and as a lawmaker it's his role to hold powers to it.
