The inimitable Piers Gelly on Homo Roganomicus and what the Gimlet was

I’m shocked they actually aired this on CNN

This is tomorrow. I'll be introducing a 35mm screening of Valley Girl (Nicolas Cage's first starring role!!) at
Nitehawk Cinema. Don't miss it. nitehawkcinema.com/prospectpark/s…

At the protest in DC today I couldn’t there was a group of people carrying something I couldn’t figure out at first. I got closer and it was a list of names of those in Palestine murdered by Israel. 3 columns, maybe 20pt font. It was a block long.

“We are Jewish writers, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic.” New: an open letter.

I want to share that I had a 3,500 word review of Sam Sax's PIG shelved on October 8 by The Poetry Foundation because it discusses anti-zionsim. The decision came from the leadership team of the foundation. I was told Poetry didn't want to be seen as 'picking' a side.

Footage for the unprecedented lsraeli air attacks hitting Gaza Strip.

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

What are we supposed to call this except a mass murder of some of the most oppressed people on earth?

Every single one of the US politicians who is supporting Israel's war has revealed themselves as inadequate to the historical moment. I hope their actions haunt them forever.

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

Earlier this month, I delivered a training on feature writing as part of Euro-Med Monitor’s We Are Not Numbers. An ambitious lady, Huda Susi, talked abt her passion to be a journalist & write about victims, asking how she could become one.

Huda was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza

700 killed in the last 24 hours in Gaza.

We have officially reached the highest lethal rate of Palestinians killed per day since 1948.

This was my brother’s last post.

I am sorry Mahmoud. The world has let Israel murder you.

And the world is letting Israel murder other families.

In the last week, we've seen reports from around the world of censorship, repression, & retaliation against those who express solidarity with Palestinians—including many Jewish and Israeli journalists and scholars. Help us track these incidents & connect workers with support.
