About the “Arab Jews” piece in Vox, all I will say right now is, read my book on the Mizrahi Black Panthers (which somehow didn’t even get a mention in the piece). ucpress.edu/book/978052029…

Life for Arab Jews 'was very unlike what was happening in Christian Europe, where Jews were blamed for everything from the death of Jesus to the bubonic plague. On the whole, in the Muslim world, Jews coexisted with their neighbors to a remarkable degree for two millennia.'

I wrote about the untold story of Arab Jews — and how they formed a solidarity movement with Palestinians, producing joint magazines, street protests, and a vision for peace.

This was his final statement.

Journalists! Who is going to #IRE this summer in Anaheim? I’m organizing a panel on book writing. Who should be on it?

#BREAKING : Supreme Court denied a stay of execution to Brian Dorsey.

There is now nothing stopping his lethal injection in Missouri tonight.

NEW: Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has denied clemency to Brian Dorsey, whose execution is scheduled for tomorrow. It will proceed unless the U.S. Supreme Court steps in.

Last week, Maurice Chammah🍹🎻 + I wrote about his case: latimes.com/california/sto…

Missouri governor just denied Brian Dorsey's request for clemency, a day before he's scheduled for execution.

More than 70 prison staff supported his request for clemency, as did some of the victims' family members.

This is what can happen during a lethal injection.
