The idea that Palestinians are crazed Islamist supersoldiers who will immediately rush to maim and murder innocent people if Israel sees any degree of accountability is… RACIST!

This UXO has been a major hindrance to humanitarian assistance since early on. Internal discussions in USAID basically just decided it wasn't real because doing so would require acknowledging a lot of hard truths about the nature of the bombing campaign.

Listening to an interview with a spokeswoman for the Modi government as she compares the Pakistani government to Hamas and Osama bin Laden and says "they're a rogue state and the only thing they export is terror" and when asked for evidence, she responds by saying "they're all Muslim."

Trump is irredeemable, but this is a near-delusional take. Biden spent the last two years of his presidency enthusiastically torching the rules that held the transatlantic order together since WWII in defense of a rogue expansionist state. Harris would have continued it.

In a very serious and sincere sense I oftentimes genuinely do not understand what kind of Israel exists in the minds of my American or British interlocutor.

I decided to watch a bit of the Theroux documentary about the Israeli settler colonialists, and here is a senior settler leader Daniela Weiss explaining how the Israeli government and the settler movement work hand in hand with one another rather than completely separate as most Westerners imagine.

If you thought the Biden administration was acting in good faith on Israel, as I once did ("bear hug," et. al), then you should be aware: They lied to you.

The lesson I’m getting from this is also that the Liberals know how to do politics, and Trudeau knowing when to leave was crucial. Can they advise the Democrats???

On the Crown Heights protests: 1. No, it isn't a pogrom. It's a badly thought out action more interested in provocation than anything else. 2. It is framed is as a protest against the community itself. That's bad. 3. People calling it a pogrom are contributing to a potential violent response.

all right, let’s go through this nonsense. first of all, this is just a police state. that’s what he’s describing. I don’t have anything clever to say. he wants cops to control your life, and aggressively and with “high impact”.

The far right may be enthusiastic about determining who is and is not a "real Jew" but American universities and colleges have no business helping them do it www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/o...

Didn’t grow up Christian, but with extremely religious and conservative Muslim family members. It works the same way; persecution complex is real. It’s more obviously bad when Muslims do it bc of media environment we’re in. But it’s the same in all religions, especially when they’re a majority.

Iranian PhD student Alireza Doroudi is being detained on literally no basis other than being Iranian. He has no history of any protest or activism in the US, nothing related to Palestine or otherwise. Even his student visa status has been restored. He is being held on the basis of being Iranian.

Israel is preparing to expand its war on Gaza more land grabs more bombs While the world debates Gaza is being erased piece by piece This isn’t “self defense” This is a calculated televised annihilation And every new airstrike is another message to the world We can do this. And no one will stop us.”

I specifically wanted to address a few key points here: First, that the U.S. is merely a passive observer. That is not the case. U.S. military forces are participating in combat operations and combat support operations on behalf of the Israeli military. Full stop.

Also people can change their minds. I’m going to be honest & eat crow & say I severely misunderstood this admin. I thought it would be like Trump 1. Finger in the wind politics is dumb for many reasons. But if they don’t adjust even based on changing polls, it’s really dumb!

The on-target critique was always against the "trust the courts, wait for the process" kind of lawyer-valorziation (which is real, still exists and is endlessly irritating), not against the idea that good lawyering can grind the gears of fascism while people wake up to what's happening and mobilize.
