The basic (colonial) double standard of the Israel Palestine "conflict" is that any Palestinian violence justifies any Israeli violence, but no Israeli violence ever justifies any Palestinian violence, and once you see it, you'll never stop seeing it.

This open letter from Jewish students just arrested at Brown made me actually cry. These are my Jews. So many of us. I'm so proud of them for standing up and sitting in. browndailyherald.com/article/2023/1…

I keep reading and re-reading this breathtaking statement issued by these brave young Jews at Brown University calling for ceasefire. It is politics and it is poetry. And I think that Jewish Anti-Zionists might finally have our manifesto.

HAPPENING NOW: Over *400* trade unionists are blocking the entrances to BAE Systems Rochester, which provides parts for aircraft being used right now in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

Tell me: Now that you've watched over a month of genocidal bombardment - Hospitals, refugee camps, apartment buildings - men, women, children, mercilessly bombed Now that you've seen the West offer iron-clad support to this massacre You've seen the UN offer crumbs of words

The doctors are Hamas, the journalists are Hamas, the babies are Hamas, the children’s cancer floor of a hospital is Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the bakeries are Hamas.

Knowing just how many bombs have been dropped on Gaza this past month and how many precious young bodies have been shattered and broken -- destroys me. Not to mention, ethnic cleansing still ongoing, spells more horrors, not healing and flourishing for these beloved children

I’ve been thinking about how for Jewish folks, someone being a Holocaust denier is a very serious thing & yet here we are, Jewish people en masse denying the Palestinian Holocaust happening irrefutably on the world stage. I consider this form of genocide denial equally as debased

We went from, "Israel would never bomb a hospital," to, "Israel's has bombed every hospital in Gaza, but it was justified," with no re-evaluation.

#GAZA At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.

Words became a useless vehicle to convey the scale of Israel’s barbarity long before this, but the evils unfolding here are unlike anything I’ve ever seen

or any of the numerous escalations by the increasingly extremist Israeli government. By continuing to dismiss and ignore these very real grievances, and the Palestinians as a whole, Clinton and every other leader is missing a real opportunity to chart a path toward peace. 3/

Precious little babies who were in incubators to keep their fragile little selves alive. The whole purpose of incubators! Imagine being a parent witnessing the tyrannical🇮🇱 apartheid regime cut off your baby's oxygen & suffocate them & you can't save them. 💔

There's a story in the old testament of the Bible (also in the Hebrew Bible) that speaks of 2 women who come to Solomon claiming that a baby is their child. He offers to cut the baby in half so they can both have it. The baby's true mother declines bc she actually cares abt it.

Mosab is a brilliant poet and winner of the American Book Award. He was kidnapped by the IDF while fleeing south with his family, as instructed by the American Embassy. Please join me in calling for his immediate release!

When everyone is off limits like infants and children, & the press is not off limits & the elderly w/ stories, & the record keepers, artists & poets are not off limits, this is genocide. Hoping for Mosab's safe return. Glad to see literary orgs come out for him. Make noise.

JUST PUBLISHED: It has been the honor of my career to co-author "Queer, HIV+ and Running Out of Medication in Gaza" with afeef (He/Him) for The Intercept—a story about Palestine, AIDS, genocide, and an extraordinary survivor named E.S. Please read & share. theintercept.com/2025/01/13/isr…

Less than two years ago, Texas Tech University suspended me for speaking out against genocide. Today I found out I was denied tenure.

We are 3 years into a genocide so I don't take it lightly that ppl saying out of one side of their mouth they are "pro-Palestinian" are attacking ppl actually supporting Palestinians. That their target is a Black woman is definitely not coincidental.
