I know most of the people responsible or who are covering for it don't care, but let me explain how American Jews are feeling right now:

The overwhelming majority of Jews only live in a few countries in the world. Our families were driven out of much of Europe by pogroms and The…

Can we stop saying that Hamas agreed to a cease fire? Hamas agreed to a *proposal* offered by Egypt and Qatar, one that did not agree to the release of hostages, and it's not a deal Israel agreed to. It's pretty obvious that neither Hamas nor Israel really want a cease fire.

Not only is it possible, it's actually pretty easy!

It's possible to support domestic progressive liberal policies in your own home country and still support Israel.

Why is that so hard for folks to understand?

Wishing to see another state or nation destroyed is not the definition of progress, last time I checked.

Right now at the @penn encampment. The protestors chant “we don’t need no Zionist pigs.”

@penn are you watching this? You are making a mockery of this school.

Actually today is specifically about the Jewish victims. There is a global Holocaust remembrance day that recognizes all victims. A separate one for Roma victims (on Aug 2nd). TODAY is “Yom Hashoah”. Its name is hebrew. It is to remember Jewish victims. Thanks

This is not true. No one is a bigger Netanyahu critic than me. But the entire cabinet from Eizenkott to Ben-Gvir is united in rejecting the deal Hamas is pushing. They all also agree at least a limited incursion into Rafah is needed at this time. And they are right. It finally…

Our local vile MAGA cultist (who miserably lost the school board due to their hate) now spend their time 'combatting' antisemitism by harassing and targeting Jewish women online. And then getting their friends to pile on. It's so on brand for MAGA. You can't make this up.

It's important to take time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust & millions of additional victims of Nazi persecution. We must recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate victims, honor survivors & fight antisemitism. Never again.

Hamas: “we will repeat the October 7 massacre time and again, 1M times if we need to, until we end the occupation.“

Journalist: “occupation of Gaza?”

Hamas: “no, all of Israel.”

Yes

'They have to know that their actions have only strengthened the extreme-right political forces in the U.S. and Israel, who are already using these statements to consolidate more power. Their expressions and actions trample the voices of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists..'

4) I am genuinely struggling to think of another instance - in 2024 - where protestors aligned with the Left could say things that were clear examples of bigotry against another minority but when people from that minority took issue with it, it could be dismissed as “obsessing”.

Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی The key distinction that many fail to make is that opinions on campus occupations are distinct from opinions on Israel/Gaza. Plenty of people are critical of both Israel and the protests. Most students, including Israel critics, aren't joining the encampments!

On the campus protests, as elsewhere, it's easier to understand Biden's positioning if one spends more time with folks offline and less time in unrepresentative social media bubbles. As usual, he's just channeling majority sentiment:

Netanyahu is a disgusting far-right cretin who will do anything to remain in power. Israel desperately needs new leadership.
