As Amsterdam and Europe slowly wake up…

A statement concerning the police violence unleashed on the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at the Roeterseiland campus of the University of Amsterdam…

After the free Palestine supporters were violently confronted by outside protestors, the police cleared out demonstrators who erected a tent camp on the Roeterseiland campus of the University of Amsterdam to protest against the war in Gaza nltimes.nl/2024/05/07/pol…

This is precisely why I am not a Zionist: the Holocaust teaches us that ethnostates, by definition, inherently delineate outsiders who must be excluded, or even exterminated. The goal of an ethnostate inherently contains the seeds of genocide.

Take a minute to appreciate the statement, and then marvel at the fact that an editor actually made it a serious headline

Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago.

But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED is yet another Jonathan Demme movie that’s so good, I watched it twice in in a row. #LastFourwatched

There isn’t anything in any medium I love as much as TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN – but at the same time, THE STRAIGHT STORY is my favorite David Lynch feature film. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An absolute treat when Matt pulls out the big guns.

Talk your shit king.

Folia keeps using this image for stories related to Jewish safety at UvA.

That’s me, a Jewish UvA staff member, in the black. I was one of at least 3 Jews present.

I don’t know but I think that’s maybe important info when talking about Jewish safety on campus.

Casablanca, The Court Jester, The Princess Bride, City Lights, Stand by Me, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Wizard of Oz, and endless Muppet Shows.

BREAKING: Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, becomes the first university in the U.S. to fully divest from Israel.

This was Rachel Corrie’s school.

My guess is that Jerry Seinfeld will be more upset about being described as an “erstwhile comedian” than by the whole situation in Gaza.

There’s this weird slippage people do where by “peaceful” they mean “lawful” but then they want to use MLK as an example and seem to forget where “letter from Birmingham Jail” was written from

Democrats will keep telling you to vote for Biden to prevent the things that are already happening, from happening.
