I just cannot imagine treating people like this, even ones I have the most severe disagreements with.
A food allergy can kill someone. This is basically an announcement that you think that person should die.
I will never understand being so committed to a cause—any cause, that you would make fun of women who’ve been *kidnapped*. Literally, what the fuck is wrong with you?
This is a lie. This rhetoric is dangerous and needs to stop.
This endangers the life of Rashida and Palestinians standing up for their liberation everywhere.

No low this person won’t sink to, truly disgusting.
"Why is it that the words 'Islamic theocracy' seem to hold this talismanic weight for you, as something that is naturally wrong & we should object to, but you don't feel the same way about a Jewish supremacist theocracy?"
The bigoted threats targeting synagogues in St. Louis and across our country are horrific & reprehensible. My team and I are in close touch with federal authorities regarding these despicable acts of antisemitism.
congrats to Jonathan Glazer for making it to Qatari state media!! nothing screams moral high ground like being praised by a theocratic authoritarian regime!!
Best International Feature: The Zone of Interest Director Jonathan Glazer , has given a powerful acceptance speech, speaking out against Israel’s occupation and war in Gaza.

If any reporter says Iran started a broader war in Middle East after they do their retaliation strikes, they are absolute liars. I hope Iran does not retaliate! But Israel killed the top Iranian general to provoke a wider war. If it starts, Netanyahu definitely started this war.
I don’t think calling people antisemitic for wanting an end to children being blown up is gonna work out great for Jews as a whole! But that’s just me, one of the self-haters
I am begging American Jewish watchdog organizations to focus on - at least for now - things that are an imminent threat to American Jews instead of outrage p*rn.
Examples of outrage p*rn may include:
1.A sticker on somebody’s laptop
2.A celebrity’s child wearing a sweatshirt
“You understand that I’m a semite myself, right?”
While speaking to Channel 4 in an interview that was published on Thursday, Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef responded to antisemitism accusations and said such accusations have become “devoid of anything, of meaning”.
Sloan Kettering accepted a *400 million dollar donation* from billionaire Zionist Ken Griffin, the largest in their history. This was *after* he threatened pro-Palestine student activists at Harvard with revoked job offers. Our medical institutions are not innocent bystanders.
Walid Daqqah was in prison bc of his role in the 1984 murder of Moshe Tamam. Moshe was kidnapped & tortured before his murder. They castrated him & gouged his eyes out.
JVP “honors” Daqqa’s life & legacy.

I cried on October 7th. I cried for 8 months since. I can't separate which lives I care for based on who is being killed by whom, neither do I want to.

My opponent Wesley Bell is among AIPAC’s TOP 4 recipients this cycle—and is gladly taking money from anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-labor, pro-NRA Republicans who expect his loyalty in return above all else.
We deserve better.

"The Nakba is 5 Arab armies losing", no, the Nakba is the Israelis destroying hundreds of villages, dozens of massacres, and ethnically cleansing several cities. Half of those expelled were expelled BEFORE the Arab armies intervened, and even pro-Israeli historians
I am trying to gather my thoughts today, but I am failing.
It has been heartbreaking. All I have been feeling today is that we failed. We just failed everyone, and I am at a loss of words 💔
JUST IN: UCLA protesters are demanding a variety of supplies including zip ties, gas masks, knee pads and lotion but NO sunscreen.
Sounds like a lot more is going on besides protesting.
In a Google document obtained by Fox News, protesters listed out their needs including
Who cares if Hamas steals the aid before it reaches Palestinian civilians??? All that really matters is that self righteous Americans can feel good about themselves!
an actual quote from JVP:
“[hamas] treated hostages with dignity and respect…[hamas] shows its humanity and continues to demonstrate that it is not a threat to Jewish people.”
I am so grateful for
@JVPLive
Rabbis on the Hill for standing with us in solidarity to demand a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. I am so inspired by their advocacy to save lives, no matter their faith or ethnicity, and their commitment to uplifting the human dignity of Palestinians.
This is a blatant lie. Pogroms, massacres, & even Arab/Nazi collaboration PRECEDED Israeli statehood.
I repeat: BEFORE Israel was even a state that had policies TO criticize, we were being slaughtered in the streets, kidnapped, and raped. This is not a new phenomenon and framing
“I would rather Jews be gone entirely from this world than be alive with the with ability to defend ourselves”
This admission is a perfect example of the difference between Zionist Jews & Antizionist Jews.
Imagine if those were Arabs chanting those racist slogans. Imagine Western coverage in that case. Here it is mentioned in passing.
“The crowd waved blue and white Israeli flags and chanted slogans such as “Death to Arabs” and “We will burn your village”.”
I don't mean to be conspiratorial, but every time zionists have a bad PR cycle -- in this case, Biden's claim that Israel supports a ceasefire being promptly rejected by Bibi -- there's a new assault on the independent journalists who've reported on Israel's crimes, or
you idiots aren’t called self-hating Jews bc you “criticize israel”, you are called self-hating jews bc you literally encourage terrorism against jews.
Zionists often accuse Jews who criticize Israel of being “self-hating Jews.”
Here’s a 🧵that dismantles this trope and counters it with a view of anti-Zionism as an affirmation of humanity.

Dr. King was not a Zionist, bro. And if he were alive today, I promise you that he wouldn’t be echoing your support of the Israeli government. I welcome a debate with you on this subject.
@WalshFreedom
1) apparently it’s a Bible reference
2) calling them ‘Islamic terrorists’ is gross.
3) saying politicians are ‘afraid’ of ‘offending their Muslim population’ is even grosser & an Islamophobic trope. You’re regressing Joe back to the Islamophobia you once pushed & apologized for.
“Witnesses say” = MADE UP BULLSHIT that I trust equally as much as I would trust what white “witnesses” said in the South about Black men and boys during the time when Emmit Till was killed
Incredible stuff. Kicking a Jewish student group off campus in order to “protect Jewish students.” At a certain point, just own that you only mean “Jewish students who are Zionists” and that every day you’re consciously trying to make non-Zionist Jews’ college experiences worse.
The craziest thing about this “the Jews are not a race” thing is that the whole conversation started bc the view was discussing a school board's banning of "Maus.” Had Whoopi bothered to read the very *first* page of the book she was discussing, she would opened it to this:
After 7 October, the left in Israel is under unimaginably intense pressure. My guests themselves both said they fear attacks from other Israelis more than they do rockets from Lebanon or Gaza. 9/
Pro-Israel columnists will tell you it's disgusting not to take seriously claims of a second Holocaust while joking that "open letters should be added to the list of war crimes". So Israeli suffering is serious, but Palestinian suffering is a joke?
100% agree. I've been saying this for a while. When I was at MSNBC, I refused to refer to it as Fox News, only as Fox. It doesn't deserve the 'News' label. Let's not kid ourselves or help normalize a far-right propaganda outlet.

Grateful to have joined Rabbis for Ceasefire tonight.
Ceasefire means release the hostages.
Ceasefire means stop the bombardment.
Ceasefire means defend the innocent.
Ceasefire means transcend cycles of violence.
Ceasefire is not just an option. It is our only way out of this.
