The murder of writers and journalists also abridges their free speech. Detaching free speech and making it an abstract value to be enjoyed by the privileged in the first world has to be the most vapid conception of what it means to defend free expression.

Israel today assassinated the eldest daughter of our Professor Refaat Al-Areer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸), Al-Shaimaa, along with her husband and newborn baby. I am out of words, tears, and ways to comprehend this endless loss, this pain, this criminal annihilation of our people.

The American ex International Court of Justice president splits hair. Everyone has a right to be protected from genocide. The court found it plausible that Palestinians' right was in jeopardy. That means it's plausible that Israel is committing genocide. x.com/AviMayer/statu…

Getting arrested today trying to deliver aid to Gaza was the only way I could figure out to mark pesach this year with integrity. Next year in liberation!

In which we learn that Princeton was fine graduating a student who took part in the January 6 assault on Congress but will expel a finishing PhD student for sitting on the grass.

In the middle of a man-made famine, imagine directing your ire at the one agency serving as a lifeline for over 2 million people.

Christian Wakeford MP is the douche who was in Israel on a solidarity tour while it was being prosecuted for genocide at the ICJ.

Outrageous that Labour Friends of Israel, under Christian Wakeford MP, is hosting an event in Parliament on 7th May 2024 entitled 'UNRWA, antisemitism and a better future for Gaza'.

This is despicable at a time where Gaza is utterly destroyed & unliveable.

As much as I loathe Jill Stein, I feel compelled to point out that she is being deliberately misrepresented here. At 0:18, you can clearly hear her say 'homeland' not 'Poland'.

(The responses to this are a real time psychological experiment in how desires prime the senses).

Look man, there is only 'a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide' if someone is plausibly threatening that right.

One of the weirdest things about contemporary liberal so-called democracies is all the moralising one has to put up with when criminal political decisions are justified. War, migration, campus repression, you name it. As if they think we're all idiots, who can't spot propaganda.

People just give Israelis a hard time for being so much better at collateral damaging civilians than Assad or Putin. If anything, they should be giving Netanyahu a medal for being first in the contest for most children collaterally damaged in the shortest period of time.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Some effects and likely consequences of the student protests:
A. Free speech has been long coopted by the Right. But thanks to Minouche, a new line has been drawn, putting many core democratic American values firmly on the same side as Palestinian rights & liberation.
