'If you’re watching this... then Al Jazeera has been banned in Israel.'

Al Jazeera's Imran Khan recorded his last report from occupied East Jerusalem, pre-empting the Netanyahu gov't’s unanimous decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel ⤵️

Wow that’s a big antisemitic, pro-terror protest in *checks notes* Tel Aviv.

Two weeks ago, settlers attacked a village in the West Bank.

Medics evacuated two villagers who were shot.

IDF soldiers then fired into their ambulance, sirens wailing, on the way to the hospital, killing its volunteer driver.

this is like how some 17th century lordling would talk to the castle tutor

On campuses, we should all respond to all hate speech, antisemitic, Islamophobic, and all the other deep uglies that ripple through every campus no matter how well-intentioned. Militarized police is not a response. It's a threat against ALL. 8/

College admininstrations are unwittingly adopting longstanding & deeply antisemitic tactics of Christian 'Zionism.' (Which isn't really Zionism.) That movement needs SOME Jews in Israel for the sake of a religio-political project that doesn't need their survival. 6/

The way some college administrations & politicians speak of 'Jewish safety' is contemptuous of Jewish safety. It is not even about Jewish safety; it's the utilization of *some* Jews as cover for a political project that erases other Jews. 3/

In 5 years of documenting police at protest, I have never seen anything close to what happened tonight.

Protesters tased, beaten, pepper sprayed, and brutally arrested for merely bearing witness to an army of thousands of militarized police descending on college students.

I think the moral content of a protest matters, I think it’s the single most important thing actually, and the elaborate media pseudo debates about tactics, electoral impact etc—where we discuss everything but the moral content—is because the righteousness of the cause is obvious

Let's see. Building walls, cutting off water and food, violent suppression, fencing people in, denying access to journalists, calling everyone terrorists. This sounds eerily familiar... 🤔

of intelligence and foresight that disallowed them to see that October 7 should make clear the everyone concerned the dead ends of the path of political violence? Was it really commitment to Israel alone or a commitment to the armament industry, as well, that made them act as if

the sorry sight of all those western leaders that went to Israel in the aftermath of Hamas's murderous attack on October 7? Why were they all to legitimise military revenge and the huge armament production and consumption that comes with it and nothing else? Was it really a lapse

Hey most of you Christians, today is a good day to listen more deeply to those around you, even yourselves. Put aside your non-negotiables, lose yourself in another point of view, turn off (ironically) your impulse to argue, and just listen and partake. You’ll have a grand time.

& lefty friends & comrades new to the whole Christian Zionist thing: They've been at this a long time. They know how to weaponize unforced errors. Insisting that there's NO antisemitism, besides being a purity narrative (more of a fascist thing, anyway), is a slow-pitch softball.

This is especially a message for my fellow Jews w/ good hearts but little info on how Christian 'Zionism' works: Think of Christian Zionists as accelerationists: Ultimately, they want--they need, for their theology--war. They'll always encourage fascists like Netanyahu.

Ken Burns Good film, but does not address Leonard Leo and his DC Catholic mafia putting scores on the board.

1/ Generally, you can easily decide the orthodoxy of one’s theology and the rightness of their praxis by whether they work to set *all* captives free, or not.

When the Cross is wielded as an engine of hierarchy rather than freedom, it’s not Christ.

Just Caesar in a mask.

Smotrich again uses unquestionably genocidal language: 'We must destroy Rafah, Nusseirat, & Dir al-Balah 'wipe out the memory of Amalek! …There's no half- measure. Rafah, Dir al-Balah Nusseirat absolute destruction!”
