Update: Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a dual US-Israeli citizen, was interrogated again today (Tuesday) for 5 hours, without lawyers or US embassy staff, per family. She was quizzed about her work, asked to explain such concepts as 'ontology' to questioners who had no clue. She

🇺🇸: Laws don’t apply to Israel

StateSpox Patel on ICC/Israel: “We do not believe the ICC has jurisdiction on this, that being said, we work closely with the ICC on a number of key areas… Ukraine, Darfur, Sudan, but on this particular instance they just do not have jurisdiction”

Having once again been arbitrarily denied access to the Occupied Palestinian Territory by Israel, I have travelled across the region to meet with Palestinians and others who could help me better understand/assess developments on the ground.

Based on the information received, I

One word: Srebrenica.

Cannot overstate how profoundly ignorant & dangerous this is. Intifada is the Arabic word for uprising. When Egyptians & Tunisians launched intifadas against their dictators the world celebrated. That folks are offended by Palestinian calls for liberation is telling & disturbing.

'Attempting to prosecute crimes might encourage the perpetrator to commit further crimes' is certainly a novel legal defense bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is what anti-war demonstrators are being subjected to at UCLA. Strangely, not much congressional outrage about the safety of these students.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of college students have been arrested for engaging in the quintessentially American activity of protest, in this case against US complicity in a genocide. All the White House can come up with is to smear them and willfully ignore their clear message.

Intifada is not hate speech. This administration is consistent in demonstrating its profound ignorance.

Jewish Columbia professor: “I don't think that people think that Israel is a unique example of evil in the world….[but] it couldn’t do what it’s doing without the support of the United States. So students in the U.S. think: ‘We have a responsibility.’”

I unequivocally condemn Tulane University deploying mounted police against peaceful protestors.

Bassem Tamimi, father of Ahed Tamimi, is still in Israeli prison after serving 6 months under administrative detention.

He was supposed to be released yesterday, but an Israeli military court extended his detention another 6 months. He hasn't been charged with anything.

I wonder if Rep. Randy Fine’s staffers know what kind of person they’re working for.

No words.

Rule of law and all that.

This is so very painful & enraging to watch. Our constitutional rights are being spat on in service of a genocide.

Four women at ASU had their hijabs removed by police following arrest. Here we see them remove it (all blurred) and then just put a hoodie on her head*.

What an idiotic exchange!?

Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent:
'This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another.'

Last week, I stated that I could no longer utilize the important work ADL once did regarding monitoring antisemitism and would rely on the FBI numbers, though not ideal. They reached out and I was honest that I thought their CEO Jonathan Greenblatt was no longer able to define it

Juliette Kayyem ADL Jonathan Greenblatt This account spews the most vile anti-Palestinian propaganda. Jonathan Greenblatt has lost all credibility.
