An absolute must read

Powerful new essay by Omer Bartov. On Nov. 10, 2023, Omer warned: "There is still time to stop Israel from letting its actions become a genocide. We cannot wait a moment longer." We did not stop Israel. We must do so now.

Important and courageous words from Omer Bartov عومر بَرتوف עמר ברטוב, Holocaust and genocide studies professor at Brown. The entire Jewish community must take a public stand against Israel’s genocide of Gaza.

Haaretz reports, using satellite data and expert analysis: — 70% of Gaza’s buildings are now uninhabitable — 89% of Rafah & 84% of northern Gaza destroyed — 63% of Khan Younis & 78% of Gaza City heavily damaged — Israeli contractors, under army supervision, are demolishing

Davidai is again misrepresenting the outcome of Columbia University’s harassment investigation. On the left is the letter sent to one of his student accusers. On the right is his claim of being found “innocent.”

I met with Columbia’s Office of Institutional Equity yesterday. They confirmed that the harassment investigation was terminated because Davidai left. He continues to lie that he was exonerated, when all he did was quit to evade judgment.

The Columbia OIE staff member I met with also said that this was the first faculty harassment case with this many complainants. Former President Shafik had testified that there were over 50 complaints against Shai Davidai. He is a serial harasser with a victim complex.

Hey Tablet Magazine -- did you fact-check this piece?

Whenever I hear about Netanyahu negotiating or reaching an agreement with anybody (Palestinians, Israelis, the U.S.) I take it with a grain of salt and move on. Negotiations are almost always undermined and agreements are always broken. I can’t believe anybody is fooled.

Protest against the gen0cide tonight in Haifa. Protestors chanting: "Gaza, Gaza don't despair, we will end the occupation".

I’m seeing people from Gaza offering to sell their kidneys for food. They’re writing about babies eating cardboard instead of bread. And in the country that could end this horror with a phone call, the media is focused on an Arabic word that a possible future mayor never said.

For many Arab & Muslim New Yorkers, the phrase "Israel has a right to defend itself" is a call to unmitigated violence & war crimes targeting their loved ones. Therefore, every candidate for NYC mayor should be asked to condemn that phrase, then asked again, & again, & again.

UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry. The supplies are available. The systems are in place. Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and

עכשיו בצומת כרכור, עם תמונות ילדים פלסטיניים שנהרגו במלחמה. דורשים לעצור את מלחמת ההשמדה.

💥Please note that while an Israeli legislator has been violently attacked by a mob screaming "Death to Arabs!" @IsraelPolice has not deployed water cannons, mounted police, or the other means it usually brings against peaceful anti-Netanyahu rallies.

Some basic truths: 1. People are starving in Gaza. 2. Thousands of aid trucks are waiting to go in, supported by professionals who can distribute it. 3. All Israel has to do is open the gates and let it in. 4. Not opening the gates is a war crime. Open the effing gates.

באמת שאין לתאר. פחדנים בני פחדנים. באופן ברור, תאגיד השידור הציבורי בישראל מוסר לאזרחי ישראל ״אלימות כלפי חברי כנסת ערבים זה סבבה״. בשבוע הבא הטור של קלמן יסביר למה עודה הביא את זה על עצמו

This is must read. It discusses moral obligations of Jews with respect to the genocide and I completely agree. Jews do not bear collective responsibility for the genocide - that is the very logic that leads to genocide. But all of us have a responsibility to speak out.
