The far-right gains legitimacy only and always in the hypocritical wreckage of a liberalism that promises universal rights and delivers economic and military violence

The majority of Jewish Americans support a ceasefire in Gaza. It is Ald. Silverstein, not mayor Johnson, who is out of step w American Jews. 1/2

New Yorkers’ taxes enable this. How? Because NY State gives tax breaks to non-profits that fund these settlers’ West Bank settlements. Everyone horrified by this pogrom should support Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s #NotOnOurDime bill to end NY’s subsidization of illegal Israeli settlements.

The question is whether Washington will be able to restrain Netanyahu afterward. Putting an American commitment to go to another war in the Mid East in Netanyahu's hands is pure madness, and yet does Biden have the wits or nerve to say no?

Bibi saw international support for his genocidal war slipping, so he bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus to provoke a military response from Tehran, to get the international community to rally back behind Israel.

We don't have to fall for this obvious ploy.

May G-d shelter and protect every single soul in Israel/Palestine and across the region. Praying for this madness to end

Mainstream media: *uncritically platforms far-right propaganda as just a difference of opinion, then ignores everything they helped manifest because they wrote 3 decontextualized articles and now problems continuing to impact people’s lives are ~old news~*

Real journalism:

Everyone who followed this case saw the NYPD’s delays, deception and cowardly coverups. Long after Mayor Eric Adams is gone, taxpayers will likely pay millions to the heartbroken family he refused to meet with.

What exactly are 'Cultural Jews'?

I mean the Holocaust was a racial genocide, not a 'cultural' or 'religious' one?

Eric Umansky Trawick’s parents said tonight:

“Finding out from press late on a Friday, on the weekend that my family is mourning the 5 years since Kawaski was murdered is unimaginably painful.”gothamist.com/news/police-wh…

A Friday news dump to try to downplay this disgraceful (yet entirely unsurprising) decision: the NYPD officers who shot & killed #KawaskiTrawick in his own home while he was making dinner will face no consequences. Again.

i guess Ritchie Torres wasn’t too happy that One City Rising posted the video where he praises their anti-progressive org full of republicans and transphobes, because they deleted everything!

luckily, i was able to screengrab it:

Christian nationalist says what now?

A wise activist once sd to me, one should care abt antisemitism whether or not one is Jewish, whether or not one even cares abt Jews: like all racism it is a lie; it lies abt how the world works & how power works. One cannot dismantle systems when deluded abt how they function.

This is really bad Middle East Monitor - I hope you delete.

The real issue with J Street is that they decided their most viable political option was to let this play out (knowing, just like I did, where it would lead) without using any capital to stop it. I think that is unforgivable.

I spoke to the The New York Times about J Street's approach to the war in Gaza.

The piece focuses on whether Jews continue to find affinity with J St. I think the crisis facing J St is actually much graver: as a peace org, when you won't use political capital to stop a war, who are you?

Thank you, Elizabeth Warren.

“I'm trying to get people... to look at the children, the old people, people who have been displaced, are living outside, drinking dirty water, and talk about what the role of the United States is in... supporting the Netanyahu government.'

Grab a copy of New York Daily News to read this new piece by Audrey Sasson & Sochie Nnaemeka about the right-wing-funded attacks on Rep. Jamaal Bowman Ed.D., and the multiracial, multi-faith, cross-class, intergenerational coalition it will take to fight back.

In the past six months the Israeli state has done in Gaza exactly what its political leaders said if would. None of this was unforeseen or unknowable
