What if your childhood friends are kidnapped at the 'Sde Tieman concentration camp',

A thread regarding why having a hearing regarding Justice Alito's actions matters.

Regardless of the outcome, a hearing draws a line in the sand -- about what is acceptable, and what isn't.

My Washington Post article on the importance of hearings is linked at the end.

This is an irresponsible paragraph by Shira Rubin in the The Washington Post. The Arabic word “sabaya” doesn’t have sexual connotations. This is playing on racist and orientalist tropes about Arabs and Muslims. Relying on the fabricated IDF “translation” of the word isn’t journalism

“The people have lost faith in the idea that change can come through the ballot box.” Iran-US relations expert Trita Parsi joined Mehdi on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' to discuss Iran’s political landscape after President Ebrahim Raisi’s death on Sunday. Watch: tinyurl.com/ynjcpya5

Israeli citizen here!

Just wanted to say that Dr. Einat Wilf, who has called for the starvation of Palestinians who don’t film themselves making her “peace pledge”, does not speak for me.

An astonishing paragraph from the State Dept. report.

To paraphrase: We’re very concerned about the way Israel has restricted aid. But for the purposes of this report, Israel isn’t restricting aid.

Congresswoman, in what way do you believe that your support helped this project? We chose it because it's a good project, and funded it using President Biden's infrastructure package, which you voted against.

A day before commencement, the Harvard Corp. has told me I will not be allowed to graduate.

I hope this moment exposes the corporate rot central to institutions like Harvard.

To my peers graduating - remember: 15,000 Gazan kids will never graduate.

“My ancestors include Talmudic scholars, Holocaust survivors, shtetl peasants, and working-class Brooklynites…I reject any implication that I pose a threat to fellow Jewish students or colleagues as itself an antisemitic negation of my Jewishness.”

Your company had $156,697 in PPP loans forgiven.

Hey Elon Musk I thought you were going to ban folks on this site who said ‘from the river to the sea’.

'It has been one of the most deeply unhelpful Governments there has been in Israel...'

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD and Owen Jones debate the role of previous Israeli and American governments in trying to achieve a Two-State solution in Gaza.

lol. It’s on the Google Street View of his house.

Sometimes I am so immersed in Trump, having spent the past decade almost covering him day in, day out, that even I have to take a step back and say’ ‘which actual person talks like this? Is there anyone else you know who talks like this?’

About a decade or so ago, I was semi-friendly with Goodwin. He seemed like a decent guy. Actually gave a damn about Islamophobia even.

What happened to him? How did he become a poor man’s Kelvin Mackenzie? Is this real? Pretend? The bigotry expressed is almost beyond parody.
