blown away by the open Islamophobia and total lack of recognition that a broad coalition of people are motivated by concern for Palestinian lives and horror at the induced humanitarian catastrophe

The conflation of American Jews with the whims of the Netanyahu government and the suggestion that any public criticism of Israel's conduct fuels antisemitism are wrong and dangerous for all of us.

counterpoint: I will be voting for the guy who can talk about American Jews without continually busting out the wildly antisemitic dual loyalty trope

this is a wildly wrong and inappropriate comparison but I understand why an architect of the Iraq war might find the distinction between defensive and offensive confusing

If members of Congress think Biden’s threat to withhold arms to Israel is unjustified, they can hold hearings on the conduct of the war with actually credible international humanitarian law experts, which of course they won’t do.

President Biden is going to receive enormous blowback for this, but he's right to do this and we welcome it. The acknowledgement that American weapons have been used to kill civilians is sobering, and is why we we can’t wait to act. We must limit arms transfers now.

we can now set the 'Republican says something antisemitic while attempting to weaponize antisemitism' clock back to zero

U.S. weapons and security aid cannot go towards this moral and strategic catastrophe. President Biden and Congress must act, and must use all the leverage they have to prevent this accelerating nightmare. indivisible.org/statements/ind…

Seems like the story here is that as third party diplomats worked tirelessly for a ceasefire and hostage deal, the Israeli government rejected an invitation to show up and then was angry to learn progress was made.

It’s utter malfeasance that will cost many more innocent lives.

The invasion of Rafah is a decision to inflict more death and suffering on Palestinians and to abandon the hostages. It's moral horror on every level. No more arms or aid to Netanyahu to wage this horrifying campaign of destruction.

OK so:

1. He's lying, Republicans are the party of bans and he owns every single thing that's happened since Dobbs

2. Is it even possible to come up with a weirder and squickier thing to say than 'the party of fertilization' michiganadvance.com/2024/05/06/tru…

There is nowhere to evacuate to. There is no way for Israel to invade Rafah without causing unfathomable horror and suffering. President Biden must use every tool he has to stop this.

When we train Indivisibles we tell them to designate a press contact and have all the other participants refer journalists to the press contact. This is 101 stuff. Strange how it’s suddenly sinister when it comes to pro-Palestine protests!

The right to protest and the right to safety are both weight bearing pillars of our democracy. The student movement against the human rights catastrophe in Gaza forces us to do the work to protect both. Pls read and share my recommendations on the response americanprogress.org/article/princi…

The campaign to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism - which is deployed to shut down criticism of the Israeli government - is bad for free speech and bad for the fight against antisemitism. Congress should reject it.

Absolutely shameful and horrifying.

What’s happening tonight at
Columbia University University and City College of NY is a travesty and a violation of both student and human rights.

This is a shameful day.

If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents.

Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making.

I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

There is no such thing as a credible plan to invade a tiny area sheltering 1.4 million people without creating catastrophic death and suffering. We urge the Biden Administration to use all of its leverage to stop Netanyahu's threatened invasion of Rafah.
