It's an extraordinary time to be discussing Palestine in Germany, which has banned speakers critical of Israel from stepping foot on German soil or even appearing at conferences by video.

I'll be giving talks in Berlin on May 6 and in Frankfurt on May 7. Details below:

New Yorkers’ taxes enable this. How? Because NY State gives tax breaks to non-profits that fund these settlers’ West Bank settlements. Everyone horrified by this pogrom should support Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s #NotOnOurDime bill to end NY’s subsidization of illegal Israeli settlements.

איזה אסון

תחקיר שעבדתי עליו כמה חודשים, שחושף מערכות שקציני מודיעין עשו בהן שימוש בעזה, והובילו להרג המוני של משפחות בתוך בתים פרטיים. על הספר של מפקד 8200, אוטומציה שהחליפה שיקול דעת, והניסיון לסמן עשרות אלפי חיילים 'זוטרים' בחמאס עם בינה מלאכותית.

Such a strange and sad feeling in Israel this evening. I sort of pain deep down - a feeling that is maybe shared in Beirut and other parts of the Middle East this evening.

A war with Hizbullah is all but inevitable: everybody knows it, and the media prepares people for it.…

Enough. The US needs to give the Israeli government a very simple ultimatum: open all entries to Gaza to massive aid or you don’t get one more offensive weapon of any kind. Enough.

I congratulate Ben Arad who today refused to serve the war and starvation machine in Gaza and was sentenced to 20 days in military prison. Brave young people like him, those who do not succumb to the militaristic brainwashing and the pressures of conformism, are hard to find…

Time for the US to be super-clear and tell the Israeli government to open all the entrances to Gaza and start sending in 1,000 trucks of aid a day *now*. Not ask, recommend, suggest. Tell. Do it, or else. It’s the right thing to do, it’s a strategic interest for the US to do it,…

Last night, we sent an urgent letter to the Military Advocate General and Israel's Attorney General regarding over 240 sick and injured patients trapped in al-Shifa #Hospital in #Gaza – without access to food, medication, or treatment since Monday.

Now in Tel Aviv: protesters set a few fires during a protest calling for a hostage deal

השפלות, הפשטות, מזון בלתי אכיל, אלימות, צפיפות מחרידה, שינה על הרצפה, תאים עירומים, קור וכבילה ממושכת. לאחר שהשתחרר ממעצר מינהלי בכלא עופר, מונדר עמירה, בן 53, אומר כי מעולם לא ראה את הכלא הישראלי כך: גואנטנמו, במילותיו haaretz.co.il/news/twilightz…

Jonathan Greenblatt should resign from the ADL. The damage he is doing to the Jewish community, our values, our safety and our future is truly astonishing and terrifying.
#NotInMyName

My heart sank this morning as I came across what I knew I might see on the beach - the scattered remnants of a humanitarian aid delivery being cleaned up. It was hard to hold back the tears as hundreds of joggers passed by unwittingly.

Please remember that the people of Gaza are human beings worthy of life, safety, dignity & new opportunities. Remember that half of Gaza wasn't even born when Hamas took control of the Strip; remember that Netanyahu played a massive and well-documented role in empowering Hamas to…

Them: a group of settlers who's blocking food & aid to the starving people of Gaza.

Us: a group of Jews & Palestinians trying to get food & aid to the people of Gaza & the Israeli hostages.

The police: stopping us from reaching the border while allowing them to do as they want.

מחאה בהשתתפות חברי אקדמיה לשיוויון שהתקיימה היום באוניברסיטה העברית כנגד ההשעיה של פרופ' נדירה שלהוב-קבורקיאן, הנעשת כחלק מההשתקה והרדיפה הפוליטית מצד האוניברסיטה כנגד כל קול ביקורתי על פשעי ישראל בעזה.

מפגינים ובני משפחות חטופים חוסמים כעת את כביש 1 ליד בן שמן, הבעירו צמיגים, כתבו SOS על הכביש ונכנסו לכלובים כחלק מהמחאה לקידום עסקה לשחרורם

Nothing less than a permanent ceasefire, Joe Biden. Democratic voters don’t want a pause only for American-made bombs to continue to drop on civilians in Gaza a few weeks later. The “Uncommitted” movement has shown you this week after week. Stop giving weapons to Israel. Now.

“You shall not let a soul live”

“The terrorists of today are the children from the last operation”

“The women are in essence the producers of the terrorists”

Now in Tel Aviv: left wing activists protest outside the US consulate calling to end the war “drop food not bombs”
