CHRISTIANS: this verse in the old testament says X JEWS: It doesn't say that CHRISTIAN: maybe. Who knows? JEWS: we do. That's not in the Hebrew CHRISTIAN: no one knows what the original language means JEWS: Yes we do. We can read it. CHRISTIAN: It's lost forever

Learning that a lot of y’all think that Jews magically appeared in Europe in 1930s out of nowhere just to be killed by an German dude w/a funny mustache so another German dude who is the poster child for Leopards Eating My Face could write a nifty poem for you to post on Twitter.

“When I say the Holocaust wasn’t special, I mean that.” “[Hamas] fought back and killed a handful of people…” “Zionists (all of whom are white supremacists) are not invited. Ever.” These are real (yes, real) quotes from an email sent by a Columbia University club leader.

After the past few weeks, I am more convinced than ever that the only people who care about Jewish or Palestinian lives are Jews and Palestinians. To almost everyone else, one group is just a bludgeon to be used against the other. We are weapons in others people’s proxy wars.

Some on the right have long considered me insufficiently pro-Israel for advocating peace, democracy, & Palestinian dignity. I’ve been called a “kapo” & a “self-hating Jew.” And yet now, in some progressive corners, I’m a “genocidal Zionist” for believing Israel should exist. 2/

Many of the victims of the Hamas pogrom and their family members were and continue to be peace activists. Their personal tragedy hasn't changed their dovish stance. On the contrary, writes Shany Littman haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

1/4 Let's be clear, Hamas lost its right to exist as an organization that controls a territory next to Israel. They crossed lines that remove their legitimacy to exist. Hamas can be defeated by killing their leaders and military command.

3/4 That means changing the reality of life for Palestinians including ending the occupation and enabling Palestinians self determination. The most basic principle that must guide us if we ever want to live in peace in this land is:

4/4 Every person living between the River and the Sea must have the same right to the same rights. Mutual recognition of the right of Israel to exist and the right of Palestine to exist. From there begins the very long road to peace and recognition.

Important to remember the horrific war crimes in Gaza aren’t being done by “the Jews” but rather by a particular murderous right wing Israeli administration. Many brave Jews in Israel & abroad condemn the slaughter. Our fight is against oppression. No room for antisemitism.

A couple of days ago I posted that *both* Palestinians and Israelis have a long, rich, tragic, beautiful, and legitimate story. It's been fascinating and depressing that almost everyone yelling "not true!" has been neither Palestinian nor Israeli. Guys, you are not helping.

“Other than proving you are more right, what is your mission?” Abed asked of the Palestine solidarity movement. “If it’s not helping, then shut the fuck up.” She went on, “The damage it is doing to our work; it’s fueling so much hate.” theconnector.substack.com/p/if-its-not-h…
