Quite the lineup for CPAC’s annual festival of illiberalism in Hungary - this year featuring 2 Israeli govt ministers! cpachungary.com/en/speakers

I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. If you think that the US government should treat these students the way they are treating Hamas and Hezbollah, you are basically saying there is no level of violence that is off-limits.

Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

Time to take the 'anti' from the 'anti-defamation league.' Jonathan Greenblatt is doing straight-up defamation here. Zero moral authority or authority of any kind left for ADL after this.

Greenblatt accusing students of being proxies (i.e. acting on behalf) of a foreign adversary is not just defamatory — it recklessly endangers their rights and safety, especially coupled with his call to engage the National Guard against protestors.

He should retract immediately.

Just had explosive interaction w/ Columbia University’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.

The head of the ADL thinks it's fine to accuse *some* Jews of being agents of a foreign power.

In Arkansas, a House cmtee today advanced a res comparing Jewish students on campuses with the Little Rock Nine - black teens who in 1957 were prevented from entering a school by a racist mob & the National Guard (called in by the Governor).

On last night's livestream, Christian nationalist organizers of today's 'United for Israel' march at Columbia explained that they're actually excited about rising antisemitism: it's a sign the End Times is near & Jews will convert to Christianity. Rally leader Sean Feucht:

They are not “as a Jew” they are Jews. They don’t hate their Jewish identity, they are centring it. They don’t want destruction, they want democracy. They know their history, which is why they reject ethno-nationalism. But hey NW Friends of Israel thanks for stopping by.

31 faculty members at NYU Sociology have signed the following letter condemning the university's repression of the campus encampment on Monday.

🚨Mohammed Hassouna, son of the writer and poet Amna Hamaid, pleads with journalist Ismail Abu Omar to help him in clearing the rubble of their home.

His mother, brother, and several other family members were killed in an Israeli missile strike on their house in #Gaza !

'Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas.'

This is an Israeli journalist — and celebrated whistleblower. The Israelis can evade many things, but the translate button on here is definitely not one.

To be very clear here:

If someone has their hands tied behind their backs, regardless of whether they were a combatant or not, they are classed as “hors de combat”.

Under the Geneva Convention, they are non-combatants and protected people, and it’s a war crime to kill them

Belgium condemns the killing of an employee of Enabel and his son by an Israeli bombardment.

All parties have the obligation to do everything possible to avoid civilian casualties in compliance w/ #IHL .

Our condolences go to the family & colleagues of Abdallah Nabha.

בקעת הירדן, 49(!) מעלות. לפני כשעתיים מתנחל חסם טרקטור של פלסטיני שהוביל מיכל מים ליד חומסה, בדרכו להביא מים למשפחתו.
