Protests are now also ramping up in Germany, where police are brutally beating up non-violent protesters outside the German Bundestag.

Again, to sustain their blind support for Israel, Western states are forced to erode their own democracies.

An NBC News investigation into 7 deadly Israeli airstrikes has found Palestinians were killed in areas of Gaza that the Israeli military explicitly designated as safe zones. An NYT investigation found the same thing.

Targeting civilians is a war crime.

We spent weeks documenting airstrikes in southern Gaza and found that civilians were killed in areas the Israeli government had explicitly designated as safe zones. Our exclusive report👇

Israel just killed her.

This is the Israeli-zionist propaganda playbook. When pressured to investigate or admit their killing of civilian Palestinians, they say they will investigate. The pressure eases. The media and politicians turn to other crises and other crimes. The investigation never happens.

Dear ADL: I would like to report hate speech against Jews and Arabs by someone claiming to speak in your name.

Emory professor and philosophy department chair who was arrested wasn’t even there to protest - she was concerned about student safety and wanted to simply observe what was going on. She denies the university president’s claim it was outside agitators - she was with Emory…

Statement from Rashid Khalidi

I guess sending in mask-wearing cops to arrest philosophy professors is the new free speech

Does saying “go back to Gaza” count as anti-Palestinian hate? Are we going to get the President & other elected officials condemning the anti-Palestinian hate on college campuses? Does anyone in power care about the daily abuse hurled at Palestinian, Arab, and/or Muslim students?

Mia, the U.S. government is not funding arming and politically protecting the opioid epidemic, war in Ukraine, repression in Xinjiang, or repression in Iran. It is also a rather weak argument to say U.S. and Israel are just like Russia, China, and Iran, so nobody should protest.

Yesterday, John McWhorter, a linguist who the NYT gives space to opine about racism, wrote an op-ed that declared the Columbia protests to be “abusive” to Jewish students, and placed the blame for that abuse on “anti-racist academic culture.”

I have thoughts.🧵

Outstanding article.
