The issue is not a lack of visibility; to the contrary, the Palestinian narrative is receiving a once-in-a-lifetime level of attention that is truly unprecedented. The problem, however, is that attention and visibility are not being strategically or meaningfully harnessed due to

The madness is squandering an opportunity to elevate the Palestinians' just & urgent cause because emotional trainwrecks & awful non-Palestinian "allies" can't exercise any self-control, smart messaging, or common sense, "lol"ing while talking about "industrial scale mass murder"

Can "Hasbara" warriors please stop it already? Jordan is NOT Palestine. You're making an already horrendous discourse that much worse, further inflaming it. Just stop - please; Jordan for Jordanians, Palestine in the West Bank & Gaza for Palestinians. Stop the ignorance/silliness

I’ve been saying it for 10 months: Hamas is deeply hated in Gaza! While the IDF’s statements, evidence, and allegations should always be taken with a pinch of salt & skepticism, it’s hard to imagine why they’d manufacture fake documents that confirm Hamas’s declining popularity

One of the most disastrous and destructive Israeli policies during the Gaza war has been the plan to arm and work with powerful clans inside the coastal enclave to create an alternative to Hamas’s rule and administrative control. These clans have long been a source of

It shouldn't be controversial to acknowledge that Israeli hostages still held by Hamas should be released & should have never been held this long. I'm glad that Black Lives Matter, which also called for a ceasefire and disarming Bibi's regime, has taken a stance to distance

The regular discovery of bodies belonging to dead Israeli hostages has got to be one of the most painful, awful & nerve-racking events for their families. While our experiences are different, I relate to the horror associated with waiting to receive terrible news about a family

Sending love and condolences to the families of the six Israeli hostages whose bodies were retrieved today. Yair Lapid is right: The six hostages were alive; they could have been saved; a deal could have been struck to bring them out of captivity. Hamas are murderous criminals

Yup, "both sides hate me" is true. Elements of the "pro-Israel" & "pro-Palestine" movements regularly attack me relentlessly, no matter what I say. That doesn't make me quiver in my boots; it means I'm challenging both entrenched narratives. I care about both peoples/their lives.

I don’t think that those who praise the “resistance” or Hamas truly grasp the unbelievable criminality of what the Islamist terror group has just done and will continue to do. Executing six unarmed human beings in cold blood at point blank to avoid having them freed is the

My brother in Gaza, who’s a deputy director for a major international medical NGO working on the ground, has fallen severely ill with a Hepatitis infection that’s ravaging the local population and worsening an already horrendous situation. I was successful in extracting his wife
