As mass graves are unearthed and more children are killed in Gaza, US media focuses its attention on students protesting against it.

This is by design, intended to distract from the actual atrocities being committed by Israel and the billions of US dollars that make it possible.

A pro-Israel organization offered payment to individuals who can blend into protests at Columbia University, specifically seeking those with keffiyehs and “Middle Eastern appearance” for more “deeper infiltration.”

.Hümeyra Pamuk asked why it’s taking so long to say if Israel has committed war crimes and about US double standards.

Blinken: Do we have a double standard, the answer is NO… we apply the same standard to everyone

More people are starting to see the gravity of this historic moment.

It’s not only that the US government is funding & arming crimes against humanity in Gaza—which is itself a profound moral failure—it’s also the willingness to destroy our own institutions to let Israel do it.

I'm a Jew-loving Jew. Anti-Semitism is never ok. Here's what is not anti-Semitism: Peaceful protest, criticism of the Israeli government, calling for an independent Palestine, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, using the term apartheid to describe Israel, questioning Zionism.

Dehumanization of Palestinians is US officials sharing more outrage in the last 24 hours—over students protesting—than they have in 6+ months of daily horrors from Gaza, like pediatric amputees, families buried under rubble, mass graves, decomposing infants, bodies torn apart…
