@ninaturner How about World War II? The Civil War? Should Lincoln have said, "more than 6K minors [Hamas, undoubtedly exaggerating nevertheless, is claiming minors, not children] will die if we preserve the Union and end slavery, so I guess that's that, let the South secede? Oh, that's…

@cenkuygur Or you'd have to believe, as is well-documented, that Hamas interspersed its military infrastructure intricately with civilian infrastructure, so only when Israel was willing to engage in this level of destruction could it be defeated. Hamas doing so is a war crime. Israel…

@AOC Hamas could end the war by releasing its hostages and surrendering. Haven’t seen that you’ve called on them to do so. They surely have more responsibility for their own citizens than Israel does.

@ShaykhSulaiman Tel Aviv was a Jewish city founded and built by Zionists. It was a city within the 1923 League of Nation Palestine Mandate. There was no “Palestine” otherwise. It’s funny to claim a Zionist, Jewish city as Palestinian, unless you’re pointing out that Jews living in Mandate…

@stevesalaita Since 1936: Start a war, lose. Start another war, lose. Start yet another war, lose again, ad infinitum, while refusing any compromise offered along the way. And then cry about how you are the the victim. And then start another war...

@marclamonthill Good, maybe the university can find someone who doesn’t advocate for the genocide of the Jewish population of Israel (“river to the sea”) to spend the money on.

@BigMeanInternet Soviet propaganda, often laden with antisemitism, about Israel was spread through the Western left starting in the 1960s through the 1980s. The Soviets hired right-wing antisemitism Russian nationalists who had been released from the gulag to lead the campaign.

@RepRashida Your colleague's niece is a student at Barnard College, not Columbia. And she has been suspended for knowingly violating school rules, not for "protesting" (imaginary) "genocide."

@KarenAttiah Odd that you left out Jews, the victims of the Holocaust, as well as ethnic cleansing from the Middle East. Oh, I forgot, you're an antisemite.

Miss this at the time. Antisemitic or not, it implies that she was somehow privileged and neglects the fact that racial categories in Nazi territory didn’t match US conventions, Jews were a persecuted racial minority, so it reflects deep ignorance.

@AlissaShira Assuming Hamas's figures could be trusted to begin with, which is a heroic assumption, Hamas's figures for "children" include all teenagers, including combatants. So probably at least half of those "children" are teen Hamas terrorists. And no one appointed you to speak for Jews,…
