As an alum of Columbia, I couldn't be more disappointed in my university. I wish I was in NYC right now to stand with the students.

The role of the Security Council is to uphold international peace and security. On what basis has the US used its veto power over the past 7 months? Preventing a ceasefire to a genocidal onslaught, and denying a nation a seat at the UN table? It's not as if the UNSC was divided…

The students are now singing in a huddle facing down the entire might of the NYPD. Oh my heart.

“Every ten minutes a child in Gaza is killed or wounded.” This has been going on for more than six months.

Can I have 3 minutes please 🙋‍♂️

Unless you consider Israeli occupation an article of the Jewish faith, then intifada, which means uprising and relates to Palestinian attempts to throw off a half century old system of oppression, is not anti-Semitic. If I were Jewish, I would be appalled at these efforts.

These congresspeople are no doubt idiots and on the lobby’s payroll, but why are these university presidents such moronic cowards?! How difficult is it to state clearly/objectively what intifada means and its historical relevancy. It’s a word this congresswoman can’t even…

What on earth is happening.

The only evidence, as far as we can tell, are confessions derived under torture.

Netanyahu announces $5bn plan to build Jewish settlements in Gaza. Now is the plan clear?

The US used to argue that Palestinians could only achieve independence through negotiating with their occupier. Now it's arguing that the clearest path 'toward a political horizon' for Palestinians is through Israeli-Arab normalization agreements. 🤯

Not surprising that Qatar would consider its diplomatic role vis-a-vis Hamas increasingly thankless and detrimental, amid attacks from pro-Israel lobby and associated congresspeople.

But policymakers should be worried about the chilling effect of these recriminations well…

A special State Department panel recommended months ago that SoS Antony Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units from receiving U.S. aid after reviewing allegations that they committed serious human rights abuses.... Blinken has sat on it.

The cognitive dissonance in Israel is simply astounding. To make such a statement while having spent six months dropping 2000lb bombs on a densely populated, hermetically sealed enclave and killing tens of thousands of people… it’s mind-boggling.

And now think of the 25,000 tons of explosives (equivalent to two nuclear bombs) used against buildings largely identified as targets by Artificial Intelligence, the unguided munitions (“dumb bombs”) and 2000-pound “bunker buster” bombs launched on densely populated areas and…

The Israelis are evicting Palestinians from East-Jerusalem house by house. It is a deliberate and systematic endeavor with the connivence of the justice and police authorities using the complexities of the Ottoman era land registry.

The Biden administration's thinking and decision-making over the past six months has been mind-bogglingly reckless. I can't think of one benefit to America by making us complicit in genocide and embroiling us in a regional war that could escalate to catastrophic proportions.
