Quick question, are the guys calling works of art "sabotage against the state" usually the good guys or the bad guys?

Prominent St. Louis rabbi Jeffrey Abraham recently wrote there are "no 'innocent civilians' in Gaza," and endorsed the belief that Palestinians are "animals." The lack of uproar in the Jewish community shows how widely accepted these views are. buff.ly/csHybpB #Palestine #Israel

Israel invading Syria, which isn't a threat to it, starving and threatening to invade Gaza, which isn't a threat to it, not withdrawing from and periodically threatening to bomb Lebanon This rogue state schtick is getting old

Don't let Ukraine distract you from Palestine.

The Israelis are shooting to death two children in the West Bank each week. 12 year old Ayman was one of them, and his murder was caught on video. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

A 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Ayman al-Hammouni, was shot and killed by Israeli troops in Hebron on February 21, an investigation by UK newspaper The Guardian has found, as Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank continue to escalate. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

@gofundme.com give Mona her money!!!!!

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

For those playing along at home we are now at the: "Ok sure they're Nazi salutes - but that doesn't make them expressions of Nazism" stage of denial.

Five newborn babies in Gaza died of hypothermia in the last 24 hours only, because Israel backed by the US refuses entry of tents, mobile homes & other necessities. Where’s the global outrage?? Fuck this world

Hey @gofundme.com, you still haven't done right by Mona. Mona simply wants to live, and her family to live. You, @gofundme.com are barrier to their survival. You owe her this money. Pay the woman.

🚨BREAKING CROSSPOST AFTER DDOS ATTACK Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

Cool update: Israeli news is reporting that suspects in last night’s bus bombing attack have been arrested and they’re all Israeli. One of them is an IDF officer. (Sources: t.me/N12chat/120061, t.me/N12chat/120073)

No surprise, there is no end to their malicious pettiness

Also basically how things worked in Yugoslavia. Int'l mediators would turn up with a proposal. Croatian or BiH govts wld (albeit reluctantly + inconsistently) accept most of it, while Serb nats wld reject it all out of hand. Mediators would come out and blame Zagreb/Sarajevo for not conceding more.

We don't deserve @mrjohncrace.bsky.social

An IDF officer used an 80-year-old Palestinian man as a human shield to inspect houses in Gaza for booby traps, while threatening to blow off his head by tying an IED command-wire to his neck www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Israel’s move to force released Palestinians to wear shirts with a Star of David logo and “we will not forget or forgive” written in Arabic has prompted anger and been slammed as a “racist crime” aje.io/u1f3lg

"Israeli soldiers are trained to shoot at everything without mercy or pity. This time, their bullets hit my daughter, who was helpless and only dreamed of getting her first child."

The police is asking to keep bookshop owners Ahmad and Mahmoud Mona in custody for 8 (!!) more days. A demonstration outside the court calling for their release, and diplomats from some eight countries are in the court. "Fascism is burning us". Via @nirhasson.bsky.social

Israeli occupation forces have finally lifted the ban on allowing Dr Hussam Abu Safiya to see a lawyer Dr Hussam has been held arbitrarily for 40 days, enduring physical and psychological torture due to the IOF. I hope he is released 💗

Pro-Israel extremists Betar US went to Norman Finkelstein and put a fake pager in his pocket, threatening him with death. He was also called a Holocaust denier. Finkelstein is the son of Holocaust survivors and lost members of his family in the Holocaust www.instagram.com/reel/DFu9XiB...

David Lammy calls not fixing EU trade for the UK “ruthless pragmatism.” We call it being “completely shit.”

During the DNC I wrote on Hauntologies that the Dems were harming their own electoral chances by insisting on defending Israel at all costs (while Biden was arming the genocide). I didn’t know that they took the extra step to actively insult part of their own base.

Former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant spreads the antisemitic conspiracy theory that Israel killed its own citizens on October 7 with the Hannibal Directive by admitting in an interview that under his leadership on October 7 they used the Hannibal Directive (Source: t.me/amitsegal/43...)

“I sewed his shirt into a pillow so I could hold him at night.” These voices from Gaza reveal twenty raw snapshots of life amid the ceasefire. Here’s what each one told me.

At least these terrible people are honest about their intentions.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

At Minutes silence in Derry for Bloody Sunday 30.1.1972 14 local children hold photos of 14 Palestinian children murdered by IDF. Our mayor in background.

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.

When Israel-supporters say “terrorists” they usually mean “Palestinians”. Worth remembering when they talk about “killing terrorists”. (Source: t.me/newssil/136465)

Steve Witkoff in Gaza today & traveling the region, Netanyahu heads to DC next week as Trump’s first guest. What will Trump offer him amid ceasefire phase 2? Saudi normalization, something bigger? Will the truce hold, or will we edge toward escalation, even an attack on Iran?

Israel thanks New York Times reporters for their outlet’s favorable coverage over the last 15 months

The profound narcissism of Americans will never cease to amaze me. There were replies - deleted and blocked - mentioning how Arab Americans abandoned Harris, implying that this was deserved somehow? Most Gazans aren't Americans. Most Arabs aren't Americans. Most humans on Earth aren't Americans.

A big part of why 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 discourse is so insane is that most American Jews are cosmopolitan liberals so they don't want to believe that they're making the same bog-standard arguments every nationalist movement made in every fight over state formation, and the cognitive dissonance is driving them crazy.
