After giving it a lot of thought, I am deleting my post about the hostage video that the Israeli government account shared a few days ago, where I led my comments with the mistranslation. It is a distraction from the actual issue with the video, which is that Hamas's treatment of

Hamas Islamized a secular society, killed innocent Palestinians and Israelis, ruined the fragile yet viable Oslo Peace Process along with Israeli right-wingers, militarized the Second Intifada, sabotaged the opportunity of the 2005 Gaza “disengagement,” caused the 2006 failure of

I will always stand by Hamza, a good friend and ally who has faced numerous challenges with trying to hold multiple truths, operate in a minefield, and navigate a horrendously toxic, bloody, divisive, incendiary, and outright dangerous discourse. He has been getting an

Thank you, London & its fabulous people, for a great, productive, intense, and lovely week. I met so many who are thinking about, working towards, and aspiring for a just, equitable & lasting peace between the Palestinians & Israelis. Was also lovely to meet the awesome Mira Awad ميرا عوض מירה עווד Мира Ауад!

Since I posted my opinion here supporting the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders and for Israeli PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant, I’ve received a torrent of vitriol, mostly ad hominem attacks (including many messages attacking me specifically

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib I agree. This is completely unacceptable!

Wait, I thought the 'from the river to the sea' slogan was genocidal if it only mentioned one people and not both Palestinians and Israelis. But apparently now it's ok to say from the river to the sea, there's only going to be the state of Israel? Awful sentiment, Minister Cohen.

This is an important and welcome development. Negotiations are the only way to end this war, agree to a lasting ceasefire and end to the suffering in Gaza & return the hostages at long last. After that, punish ALL those responsible for the atrocities, per the ICC report.

They're out of allies; this is what Hamas has been great at: aligning the just and urgent Palestinian cause with Islamists, the Taliban, the despicable Islamic Republic of Iran, criminal Shia militias in Iraq & Syria, Hezbollah, and the ruthless, slave-owning Houthis in Yemen 💔

This is what the disintegration & collapse of discipline within the Israel Defense Forces rank and file look like: soldiers continuing to document vile acts that have no military value or serve no purpose, including bragging about the burning of Quarns to 'blow off steam', and dehumanizing

Hamas’s thugs and militiamen continue to terrorize people in Gaza through Taliban-style “justice” to maintain their bloody grip on power. After starting a destructive war, stealing aid, prolonging the fighting, embedding itself among the population, using Gazans as human shields,

Meet 'Representative' Fine, a hate filled bigot who thinks it's wise to use his platform & position to dehumanize the people of Gaza & advocate for the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and children in the most shallow, jingoistic manner. We cannot lose sight of our

I saw the disgusting and truly sick video of Hamas's fighters abusing the Israeli female soldiers at the Nahal Oz base. I won't be sharing it here, but I wanted to offer some thoughts:

1. Leading the post that published the video (On the 'Israel' Twitter page) with an

Today, LFI hosted a discussion on our latest paper, Civil Society and a New Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process: An Agenda for a Labour Government.

Parliamentarians heard from the author John Lyndon of ALLMEP as-well as Stav Salpeter, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib and Magen Inon 🧵⬇️

It was another great day at the UK Parliament, with Magen Inon, Stav Salpeter and John Lyndon of ALLMEP pushing MPs to support new and bold ideas for a bottom-up approach to peace between the Palestinians and Israelis, leveraging the role of civil society organizations in

I had the immense pleasure and privilege to meet with Magen Inon in London (brother of the incredible מעוז معوز Maoz), whose parents were killed by Hamas on October 7. We met with Members of Parliament and will meet with even more to push for UK support of meaningful efforts to

Yes, people in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Yemen & elsewhere are understandably celebrating the death of Raisi, the butcher of Tehran. I choose not to cheer on death & killing but get why folks are straight up shooting fireworks & passing out desserts. The Islamic Republic of Iran has

Seeing the hysteria in which Hamas supporters and enthusiasts are angry at the ICC's arrest warrants for going after the terror group's leadership is truly revealing and illuminating. Chief amongst their gripes with the court is the mentioning of sexual assault crimes that were

I welcome the decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli and Palestinian war leaders who have harmed civilians and engaged in criminal acts against humanity. It goes without saying that there's a disparity between the two sides: one is a ragtag terror group that has no regard

The Gaza Strip is continuing to be battered by horrendous & heartstopping IDF bombardment that's killed over 100 people just in the past 24 hours. This footage was at Kamal Edwan Hospital in the north late last night, being hammered with strikes that targeted medical staff &
