“‘Yes, it is a genocide,’ says an Israeli Holocaust scholar”

For Zeteo, I discussed Amos Goldberg’s scathing remarks, & quoted ⁦Alonso Gurmendi⁩ & ⁦Noura Erakat⁩ on the ex-ICC chief judge’s claim that the ICJ didn’t say there was a plausible genocide: zeteo.com/p/gaza-genocid…

Why are you upset about the encampments at colleges but not about the mass graves at hospitals in Gaza?

Senator, word of advice: Take your message to the candidates, not the communities whose families are being slaughtered. Arab Americans aren’t on the ballot in November - Biden and Trump are.

Not going to be lectured by someone who believes Palestinian lives are disposable.

This is exactly why disabled Canadians are screaming about MAiD being coercive and dangerous. We’ve already seen the “cost savings” analysis … we don’t want to die to save the system money.

Eating disorders are treatable & patients are vulnerable. This is disgusting.

bloody press vests laid outside the white house correspondents’ dinner for all the palestinian journalists killed

'Those were just birders who like the comfort of tactical gear'

Better idea: ban profiteering insurers from denying care

Best idea: enact programs of high quality, publicly funded, public administered healthcare coverage

Israel's politically powerful do not care about ordinary Israelis.

Attacks on ordinary Israelis are used to justify more investment in the war machine and more oppression of Palestinians.

War and power are the priorities, not Israeli lives.

Curious how US 'progressive' supporters of Israel are sitting with being on the same side of the pro-Palestine university encampment actions as the openly racist Proud Boys and the rightwing religious nationalist Republican Speaker of the House...

The moral clarity of the students followed by the university president responding to 'in your personal and professional opinion as an educator, is this a genocide?' by taking a long pause then refusing to answer, this summarizes so much about the US right now.

When we say this battle is for universal liberation, we are neither exaggerating nor being dramatic—this fight determines the kind of world you and your children will live in.

So thankful for the moral clarity and action coming from college students.

They're making a stand against Israel's genocidal war and they're resisting the US far-right's assault on higher education better than Democrats and university leaders are.

'This has all been a distraction'

Jared Kannel, a Jewish student taking part in the Gaza encampment at Columbia University, tells TRT World that he feels '100% safe”' and that US officials are trying to evade Israel’s war crimes by focusing on 'anti-Semitism' on college campuses

MESA and CAF view with alarm the recent attempts to intimidate, repress, and criminalize campus protests.

Universities and colleges must recommit to freedom of inquiry, expression, and protest—now more than ever.
