Nicholas Kristof "And this is why I reiterate my call for an immediate release of hostages and decommissioning of all Hamas arms as the quickest and justest way of ending the war Hamas launched. All international efforts should be aimed at securing this outcome." You never get to this. Why?

Do you remember how heartbreaking it was to watch those vans drag women away in Iran, just for a strand of hair? Western headlines say the morality police are gone. The truth: after killing 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, by morality police the regime didn’t end them, they upgraded.

For a country that is supposedly deliberately starving Gazans, Israel certainly has a funny way of showing it: yesterday, Netanyahu’s government approved a $9 billion increase to the 2025 national budget — an astonishing $473 million of which is allocated for humanitarian aid for

🚨Hamas child soldier, age 16, confirmed to have participated in 10/7 massacre. This child was included in Hamas' first "fatality list" (ID 424601904). Thousands of the "children" killed in this war are combatants, a key fact NGO, UN and most media omit. h/t Middle East Buka

In 1941 my grandmother watched as a man shot a Jewish woman's children one by one as the woman screamed and screamed. But if the Farhud is too recent for you, we could go to 1929 when Jews in Hebron, who had been living in the area for thousands of years, were so mercilessly

מי שמשליך בקבוק מים יכול גם להשליך רימון. לגייס את כולם.

Clearly people don’t know how to do math. We give Israel a credit of 3.8 billion dollars to buy weapons and they provide us with over 50 billion dollars a year worth of regional intelligence & cyber capabilities, combat testing, real time access to cutting edge technological

Recognizing October 7th as a genocide has advantages beyond the fact that it plainly meets the legal criteria, as Avraham Shalev has shown with precision. It also addresses a deeper ideological distortion. Antizionists often argue that Holocaust memory has overdetermined the

Settler-colonial theory is the genocidal ideology of our day. By creating a category—the settler— of people who necessarily and inherently commit genocide, settler-colonial theory reaches the utter limit of demonization. And there is clearly no way to deal with a figure who

I think the academy has some serious soul-searching to do to understand how imperial caliphatism came to be framed as “indigenous resistance.” And how Zionism was recast as “Nazi-like settler-colonialism,” while Arab nationalism and Islamism, with their explicit ideologies of

It’s deeply strange: Dirk Moses can clearly recognize that the Nazis saw themselves as indigenous Germans resisting colonizing Jews—framing Jewish presence as a foreign demographic encroachment that justified irredentist expansion and ultimately genocide. He even diagnoses this

Happy to share a new piece I wrote for Tablet Magazine. It traces the history and symbolic structure of antisemitism as righteousness—from Medieval passion plays, to Enlightenment critiques of Jewish “particularism,” to Romantic myths of purity, and ultimately to today’s

🧵+972 article claims Israel killed only 8,900 combatants branding all others civilians. But piece admits those are only NAMED fighters. The fact that Israel has identified so many by name is remarkable. Pretending this proves the IDF didn't kill 20,000+ combatants is absurd. 1/

Leave it to Chief Propagandist Mehdi Hasan not to miss the chance to quickly push a definitive piece of misinformation (start with a perceived real event or fact i.e. the “kernel of truth"; exaggerate, fabricate details, or twist interpretations; package it into a narrative

Horrifying: Hamas leader Basem Naim just posted on Facebook as the Israeli army prepares to invade Gaza City: “If death is inevitable, then it is a disgrace to die a coward.” From Qatar, he tells people to die instead of evacuate. Hamas is a death cult.

The article says: "Intelligence sources explained that the total number of militants killed is likely higher than the number recorded in the internal database, since it does not include Hamas or PIJ operatives who were killed but could not be identified by name..." It’s another

The evidence continues to mount that the campaign to demonize Israel through false accusations of starving Gazans is an orchestrated effort by U.N. agencies promoting Hamas propaganda. Now, to further advance the malicious accusation the IPC is publishing a report “documenting”

It’s genuinely worth asking whether the obsessive centrality of European colonialism in contemporary academic theory is not, in fact, a sign that European colonialism has largely ended (except perhaps in parts of South America). Meanwhile, non-European imperialisms are actively

AIPAC ranks 199 in terms of money spent on lobbying. There are 198 other organizations that spend more on lobbying Congress and you don’t hear a word about any of them from the agit prop crew. You should be asking yourself why.

150 Israeli vacationers, aged 8 to 16, were denied entry to a leisure park in the southern Pyrénées-Orientales, France 🇫🇷, this Thursday. Despite the group’s reservation being made well in advance, the park’s manager blocked their arrival, citing “personal convictions.” He was
