Mahmoud Darwish’s questions posed to the Israeli with an adjuration to think about what depriving Palestinians of freedom does to the Israeli psyche and shared future.

So much of the endless loops of conflict in this time stem from miscommunication & symbols/terminology that signify different things to those using them and those hearing them

I strongly encourage university leaders & MENA/ Jewish Studies educators to watch this 60 Minutes clip.

It contrasts Columbia's campus tension re: 🇮🇱-🇵🇸 w/ Dartmouth, where MENA & Jewish Studies heads teamed up (w/ admin support) to facilitate learning:

Military control over millions of people does not prevent violence, it produces it. It is clear that it hurts Palestinians, but this violence also hurts us, Israelis. The time has come to choose: eternal war & endless bloodshed, or Israeli-Palestinian peace where we are all Free.

I would think that w the rhetoric conflating anti-Zionism & antisemitism at a fever pitch (& being reified by our govt at every opportunity), ppl should be very strategic in deciding whether to publicly protest private citizens/businesses for their political activities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just want to be clear: this is a cynical effort to conflate criticism of the government of Israel with anti-semitism. It’s not about protecting Jews. It’s about shutting down dissent. And in doing so it makes all of us less safe.

Apparently there are a significant number of people who believe that latkes should be eaten, not with sour cream (best imho) or apple sauce, but…naked??

(No other significant intra-Jewish-community debates happening today right?)

It really doesn’t seem to matter what is going on in the world—whether it be police killings, genocide, what have you—Americans manage to water the entire discourse down to virtue signaling, performative politics, celebrities and arguing about who is or isn’t more progressive 🤦🏾‍♀️

Alarming numbers for Israel:
- 63% of Democrats oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza
- 67% of adults under 35 oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza
- 64% of people of color oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza
- 52% of women oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza

Id rather see public interest lawyers getting paid more, period. Public defenders, mandated under the Constitution, getting paid a small fraction of a 1st yr assoc base salary, + BigLaw firms threatening to withdraw donations when pd's speak up abt injustice speaks volumes

The reports from today are harrowing. We know that at some point the US will force a cease fire. How many deaths will it take? Will 30,000 be enough? 40,000? 50,000?

Journalist after journalist has detailed and verified these videos, but since lots of people for some reason need to think Hamas is good in order to be for a ceasefire, they have decided to commit to denial.

A devastatingly detailed reporting from Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם demonstrating the manner in which civilian houses and residential blocs in Gaza became military targets, resulting in the horrendous death toll of the last 8 weeks.
