It is amazing how easily Palestinian humanity is elided even by 'ethicists'. The world can only be interested in what is happening to Gaza because it has something to do with Jews, not that people might be horrified by the decades-long oppression and mass killing of Palestinians.

Michael Walzer, justifying genocide through the logic of human shielding: 'It's not easy for me to say such a thing, but if there were almost 10,000 Hamas fighters among the 30,000 Palestinians killed, it’s not a bad ratio for such a war on urban terrain' zeit.de/zeit-magazin/l…

Shocking to see how commonly and nonchalantly the genocidal logic behind Israel's assault on Gaza is referred to as necessary and unavoidable, in certain milieux.

All governments who suspended funding or defunded UNRWA should resume & increase their funding. They should also feel ashamed at punishing without evidence & also at again blindly believing Israeli propaganda & lies without demanding verification.

Israel, a man-made nation-state, and Judaism, a great religion and ethnicity, are not the same thing. Some of us have spent years trying to make that clear to antisemites who conflate Israel with Judaism.

You’re doing the antisemites’ work for them with this kind of rhetoric.

Colleagues in the media: If you are regurgitating extremist/alarmist rhetoric painting these students as violent and hostile without doing actual journalism and stepping foot on campus, you're helping to make the situation more dangerous.

It's been a week since a Gazan civilian kidnapped by the IDF came out with his leg chopped off in Israel.

It did NOT make a single headline in mainstream media.

Imagine he was an Israeli hostage! You would've never seen the end of media coverage, condemnations & tears...

Palestinian students in the US have been attacked and shot, have endured the wholesale dehumanisation and mass murder of their people, and been forced to listen to widespread justification for ethnic cleansing and genocide. But, we're told, it is not they who should feel afraid.

Jake Tapper 'Dear students who support genocide, it may be awkward for you on campus today, but instead of speaking out against the genocide itself, we're gonna make you the victims and call this antisemitic even though it has nothing to do with hating Jewish people'

Lots of noise from people already predisposed to want to see the second iteration of Gaza Solidarity Encampment cleared, but it’s vital people understand this wave of criticism stems from something Shai spun specifically to demonize the demo.

Context matters.

Let’s get into it.

Hope comes from the 'Watermelon Revolution' (if its brave souls allow me to call it such).

Recently: Columbia University arrested students for protesting against Israel’s #GenocideinGaza and the university’s investments in Israeli apartheid. Universities in Europe are increasing their

Don’t be silly Muhammad, the mainstream media doesn’t have time for mass graves as they are busy covering a college campus protest (against the people who dug those graves!)

In November, “I ❤️ Hamas” stickers appeared on posters advertising a student walkout for Palestine at University of British Columbia, implicating UBC Social Justice Centre. The story went viral after it was spread by pro-Israel advocates. Turns out the stickers were made by a pro-Israel contractor working for Hillel BC.

Just saw a cartoon depicting student protestors as being pro-Hamas while wearing a Hitler mustache.

That made me curious how student demonstrators in the 1960s were depicted in editorial cartoons.

Netanyahu has been reckless.

His actions have not led to the release of the remaining hostages. He's ignored their families.

He's ignored the president of the United States.

He's ignored his own people.

We should not be sending offensive weapons to Israel right now. 3/

All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza.

We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.

I will not participate in this carnage.

When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

An Israeli air attack on a house in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah has killed at least 10 Palestinians, including six children, say hospital authorities aje.io/5gf9cb
