What the apologists don't know about and don't care is that the definitions of Genocide were designed as *warning signs* not autopsies. They didn't define it as millions dead or % killed to try to head off that definitionally impossible standard when the goal is prevention

This piece captures something really important: The Biden administration genuinely thinks doing the coin hurts them more than doing what they are currently doing. They are wrong about that. Shitposters and suburban moms alike will be thrilled.

Antisemitism is going to rise in the midst of all this. No one should dismiss that.But islamophobia is also on the rise & is backed by western governments.Meanwhile there is a GENOCIDE going on. Talking about the safety of western jews as your top concern is ghoulish & delusional

In our latest, we trace the lineage of two newly pervasive ideas: that covid case numbers are no longer indicative of how good or bad the pandemic is unfolding, and that there is a gulf between those hospitalized “for covid” as opposed to “with covid”

I get why people feel we're in a post 9/11 moment. The way a lot of liberals-& those further to their right- are talking is reminiscent of the blind bloodlust of that time which was exhilarating not least because it meant freedom from ethical constraint . However, its not

BREAKING: Biden has cut off funding to @UNRWA , which provides life-saving aid to 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza every day. The US is collectively punishing Palestinians, who rely on UNRWA to survive, based on Israeli allegations against 0.0004% of UNRWA's staff. Outrageous.

Since Israel is freely willing to murder civilians, bomb hospitals, schools and residential apartments it makes absolutely no sense to say that Hamas is using them as "human shields". What fool would try to use a human shield when they know you put no value on the "shields" life?

We're 163 deaths away from the peak 7 day average of deaths from the Delta Wave. And more people are hospitalized with Covid now than last winter's peak. This is an absolute disaster and it is a horrifying failure that no politician wanted to respond to this wave in advance.

For those lefties who don't work on student debt but want full student debt cancellation- The thing to hammer is what @StrikeDebt is hammering: 10k cancelled (20k for Pell grant recipients) is proof that it all can be cancelled. When they give ground you push farther.

My basic opinion is I heard chants I would not personally choose but they were not antisemitic. People who recoil at rhetoric calling for violence against armies or cities should ask themselves why that incenses them so much more than the **actual obliteration** of so many cities
