Hamas was founded in 1987. So when the president says “ancient desires” to eliminate the Jews, he’s making a point about Arabs/Muslims as inherently and viscerally genocidal. Biden says this while the Israelis, sponsored by him, have been non-stop slaughtering kids for months.

I reject the premise of Israel’s genocide that “something needs to be done about Hamas” when Israel is the brutal colonizer. Israel has no right to do anything to Palestinians.

They say Gen Z’s are disconnected, device-obsessed and lazy. But the students organizing, protesting, and building a community around the idea of liberation shatter that image. Instead of the adults giving them hope for the future, they renewed ours.

How many more babies need to be pulled from the rubble? How many kids do we have to watch screaming and crying for their dead mothers while they suffer from life-threatening injuries alone? How many mothers do we have to see hold their dead children as they scream their goodbyes?

Like clockwork

Today I'm thinking of Aaron Bushnell

Look at the names of these slaughters. Flour, tents, refugee camps, safe corridors. Homes. Streets.

“I resigned on Wednesday, 15 May – the 76th anniversary of the Nakba… I could no longer serve at the pleasure of a president who refuses to stop another catastrophe” I wrote for The Guardian about my resignation. How many red lines will it take, President Biden? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The names of 15,000 children killed in Gaza will be read aloud in Berlin tomorrow. lithub.com/the-names-of-1…

1/ I’m an Israeli historian. My community is still too silent about the horrible war in Gaza. Over 8 months I’ve closely followed the war, reading >1000 articles and viewing >1000 videos/images of the war from all sides. My summary conclusions & full report are in the 🧵:

THREAD. Over the last four years, I have published a lot of critiques of the New York Times. I have never read anything more depraved than today's morning newsletter about why aid is not getting to Gaza.

A new study by Dan Sinykin and Richard Jean So reveals significant progress in bringing more diversity to publishing. But these changes might already be proving to be fleeting. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

I worked to elect Kamala Harris in 2019. To win the election, she must break with Biden on Israel policy — not just because it is the right thing to do, but it is both popular and politically savvy. I explain why in ⁦⁦⁦The Guardian⁩ today — theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Netanyahu is not only a war criminal. He is a liar. All humanitarian organizations agree: Tens of thousands of children face starvation because his extremist government continues to block aid. Israelis want him out of office. So he came to Congress to campaign.

I have said on the record that Harris could win my vote if she offered material changes on Palestine, not just empathy theater. She hasn’t. If she picks Shapiro, she does not care about my vote or the votes of the millions in our movement. I will not be voting Harris/Shapiro.

.Hind Khoudary reporting on the killing of her colleagues at Al Jazeera is so brutal to watch. The deafening silence among journalist organizations around the world is shameful. Israel’s maniacal massacre of the messenger in Gaza has happened because of people’s silence.

AIPAC had to spend $8.5 million to get 51% of the vote to defeat Cori Bush. Billionaires buying elections is not what this country is supposed to be about. We have to end Citizens United and super PACs and move to public funding of elections.
