Following his Nazi salute, Steve Bannon engages in unalloyed antisemitism, calling progressive US Jews the "#1 enemy...inside the wire" for Israelis, "progressive Jewish billionaires funding all this stuff", disloyal to Israel & MAGA

On Tuesday, a member of the fascist group Betar targeted a Masjid in Brooklyn, shouting Islamophobic hate speech into a megaphone outside. To our Muslim & Palestinian neighbors facing added threats right now, especially as we head into Ramadan: You are not alone. Your Jewish cousins have your backs.

We are so grateful for the spiritual guidance of @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social in these times of despair and uncertainty. Every life is a universe 💔 🧵

The ADL just called out (or, rather, sort of alluded to) Steve Bannon's Nazi salute last night. But they still defend Elon Musk's sieg heil after the inauguration — enabling the MAGA movement that endangers Jews & all of us. Join thousands and demand they retract their defense: bendthearc.us/ADL

THREAD: Israel’s Genocide Cut Life Expectancy in Gaza by Almost Half Palestinians will live dramatically shorter lives because of Israel’s genocide. Here's what you need to know ⬇️

The death of any child is an unspeakable tragedy. Since October 7, Israel has murdered, at a conservative estimate, around 16,000 children.

Look, can everyone just stop harping on goose-stepping, seig heiling, far-right politicians, and remember that *these* are the true antisemites?

I’m seeing Jews writing about seeing themselves in the Bibas family, and I get it, and also photos of Palestinian kids look a lot like my Jewish niece

Predictably the ADL is silent on Bannon's Nazi salute. The main reason is self-preservation-- they're keeping their head down to preserve access to the Trump White House around pro-Israel antisemitism policy. Keeping their 'eyes on the prize' as Greenblatt condescendingly

Oded ❤️‍🩹💔 We mourn your murder 🖤 We celebrate your life ✨️ May we continue your life's work! יהי זכרו מהפכה! Via @queenmab.bsky.social:

Spine chilling stuff here

Some thoughts on the release of the hostages’ bodies today. There’s enough sorrow to share. Enough empathy to go around. Let us break open, rather than close up.

Just so much pain this morning as the bodies of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas and Oded Lifshitz return to Israel for burial. יהי זכרם ברוך A tragic reminder of why the second stage must be completed to bring remaining hostages home & allow Palestinians too to mourn their dead & rebuild their lives

MUST WATCH: Zeteo is launching a NEW show on YouTube! Former Congress members @coribush.bsky.social + @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social will cut through the propaganda, the misinformation, & the special interest-centered politics in the US. Watch the trailer + SUBSCRIBE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI3L...

As Jews for Shared Safety, we have a unique role and responsibility to fight back against Project Esther. Trump & his far-right allies have made no secret of their intention to crush their political opposition; Project Esther is one of the most sinister examples.

🧵 THREAD: On Tuesday, Israeli settlers and soldiers terrorized communities across Masafer Yatta -- unjust arrests, demolitions, and this 👇 The day started when Palestinians in Susiya woke up before dawn to the smell of black smoke and burning tires. Settlers set one of Susiya's cars on fire. 📷 1/

We are deeply relieved at the news that at least six hostages will likely be released this Saturday in exchange for temporary housing structures for besieged Palestinians in Gaza and the release of Palestinians detained by Israel. (1/3) www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

A week after the Israeli military targeted the Palestinian town Khallet al Dabea, where it destroyed seven homes and three caves and the community’s water tanks, it has returned to continue forcing Palestinians off their land.

“AI” in this context is just a tool to speed up and scale what was already being done, while creating a layer of implausible deniability between the decision makers and the triggers

Incredible reporting with many detailed examples. “About a year ago, however, OpenAI changed its terms of use from barring military use to allowing for “national security use cases that align with our mission.””

Ta-Nehisi Coates in Seattle about the Democratic Party in this moment: “If you can’t stand up against genocide, why should I believe you can stand up for democracy?”

Oxfam: Israel has destroyed 1,025 miles of water & sanitation networks, leaving less than 7% of pre-war water levels available in Rafah & North Gaza. Israel has partially or entirely destroyed more than 80% of water/sanitation infrastructure in Gaza, including all 6 main wastewater treatment plants

After the raid on Jerusalem's Educational Bookshop--and detention of two of its owners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Muna have had to hire lawyers. They also need to pay for security, since right-wing protesters have begun showing up. Please consider helping them.

Forcibly displaced Palestinians in Gaza say their tents are "flooded with rain and sewage water" as Israel continues to violate the ceasefire by blocking the entry of temporary homes and tents. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: https://aje.io/pcwxdd

By picking tax lawyers and dentists to chair Antisemitism taskforces, universities are saying: expertise (in Jewish Studies) doesn't matter, scholarship (on Palestine/Israel) is of no use. Then why go to university in the first place? What Intellectual bankruptcy. jewishcurrents.org/the-perils-o...

"the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip generated a life expectancy loss of more than 30 years during the first 12 months of the war, nearly halving prewar levels. Actual losses are likely to be higher." Horrifying findings by demographics experts in The Lancet. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Israel has been violently targeting Palestinians in the West Bank and forcing them into homelessness for decades. But the current attacks are among the worst since 1967. “Several refugee camps have been ‘nearly emptied of their residents.’”

As the settlers continue their rampage, in Masafer Yatta, unimpeded, you can even hear the poor sheep and pastoral animal’s loud distress calls, too.

🚨 Children in East Jerusalem denied their right to #education. Israeli forces stormed the Kalandia Training Centre, ordering its closure and impacting +350 trainees. Tear gas & sound bombs were used. Israeli police and municipal staff also ordered UNRWA schools to close, affecting 250 students.

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dh48s1

Palestinian Director Basel Adra: As "No Other Land" Gets Oscar Nod, Israel Ramps Up West Bank Attacks

No actual Palestinians were necessary for this nearly fatal act of anti-Palestinian racism. The reams of scholarly literature on race and racialization, dismissed as "woke bullshit" by conservatives and (some) liberals alike, can help us make sense of episodes like this.

1000%. This is why Jewish America's most powerful institutions won't fight for American liberal democracy in its moment of peril. Because that would alienate the American authoritarians they cultivate to sustain support for authoritarianism in Israel-Palestine.

For decades, Israel has used Tu B’shvat, the birthday of trees, as call to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their lands. This year is no different, as today settlers from Carmel terrorized the Palestinian community of Umm Al-Khair. Videos from @awdah.hathaleen @eidu_suleman. #savemasaferyatta

BREAKING: Over 1000 people have gathered on Boston Common to reject Trump’s Billionaire Coup. As Trump, Musk, and their cronies use fear and hate to sow fascism, on this Valentine’s Day we say that we will win with love and solidarity. #StopCoupMA

By relying on pro-Israel organizations’ analysis of antisemitism—rather than recruiting the scholars on their own campuses—university antisemitism task forces are enabling the assault on academic freedom, @peterbeinart.bsky.social writes: jewishcurrents.org/the-perils-o...

We’re facing an urgent crisis. We’re disgusted by the Trump administration’s dangerous and antidemocratic plans to take over and ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza, and to deport non-citizens who protest on campus here in the United States.

“He visited Dachau and offered a few canned remarks about how inspired he was by the stories of the ‘unspeakable evil’ he witnessed… Then, when his trip to Europe concludes next week, he’ll return to the United States to continue overseeing the construction of internment camps to house migrants.”

The current ceasefire agreement between Israel & Hamas does not include provisions that will aid in restoring access to water & sanitation. Without immediate action, Palestinians in #Gaza will continue to be killed by disease, dehydration, and malnutrition. fpif.org/gazas-water-...
