I introduced myself as a 🇨🇦🇮🇱peace activist. They didn't let me in University of British Columbia

'Do you believe in Palestinian liberation?'
Me: 'of course'
'Do you believe in Palestinian self-determination?'
Me: 'of course - coexisting peacefully with Israel'
'Ok then - this is not the space for you'

Khamenei has overseen assaults, arrests, & killing of Iranian Uni students for 45 yrs.

He oversees gender apartheid & morality police brutality on women & girls.

Toomaj Salehi was just sentenced to death for rap lyrics. Khamenei isn’t a hero. He’s a terrorist & U prop him up.

A zone where everyone has to believe the same thing is the opposite of “liberated”. I wrote about my experience at the Harvard encampment where at least some organizers believe in dialogue with people who think differently. I hope it stays that way.

Great read from Boaz Barak addressing campus protests, it reminds us: academia must always lead in solving humanity's most pressing problems. Unfortunately these protests are more about performance than solutions #SolutionsNotShows '

Yet another Israeli who stubbornly refuses to go back to Poland.

Dear Hasbara warriors and unhinged “pro-Israel” folks on social media,

It is a fact that some of you are just as awful, hateful, crazed, maniacal, rude, disrespectful, dehumanizing, and unpleasant as some of the extreme “pro-Palestine” folks who regularly attack me. While I…

These are SYRIAN children bombed by ASSAD literally yesterday in my great-grandmother's hometown, Ariha.

My new op-ed regarding the campus protests is published!

Thanks to Newsweek & Batya Ungar-Sargon for giving the peace supporters the opportunity to oppose the calls…

הסתובבתי במאהל המחאה בהארוורד ושרדתי כדי לספר על זה.

ארבע מחשבות:

I'm disappointed & frustrated with the statement by Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (who blocked me despite having never interacted with them). In it, they reaffirm the right of armed resistance, an explicit endorsement of Hamas and October 7 & the “all means…

(תר*ום חופשי ולא אחד לאחד, במחשב בלי מדבקות בעברית ואני לא זוכר איפה המקש של האות שבאה אחרי ב׳)

ביליתי עכשיו שעתיים+ במאהל של המפגינים הפרו-פלסטינאים בהרווארד. שוחחתי עם כמה מהמארגנים. אף אחד ממי שדיברתי איתו לא תומך חמאס, וכולם גינו את ה7 באוקטובר. יש סטודנטים שאיבדו בני משפחה…

I just spent a couple of hours at the Harvard encampment, talking with some of the organizers/protestors. Sorry to disappoint but none of them have horns, and no one I talked to supports Hamas. I saw students who care very deeply about what is happening, and mostly want the war…

Superb new CAFH column by Boaz Barak: 'In an ideal world, Harvard would be a place for people of different beliefs to engage in dialogue and find solutions and common ground. Lately, though, we have become a place where people talk at each other...'

Nicely put!

The existence of people like that does not surprise me. But the fact that this is who the Columbia protestors chose as a spokesperson is disappointing. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/2…

Disgraceful behavior. These people do not speak for any Jew but themselves. They do not help combat antisemitism on campus, they actively undermine it. You do not answer harassment and bigotry with harassment and bigotry.
