It’s amazing how liberating the sadistic torture, rape and slaughter of 1500 Jews can be. It really gets the juices going. Now that Hamas has shown how to do it, everyone wants to get in on the fun.

I'm 42. I've never seen such a shift in opinion towards Israel & Palestine in America. The bar is low but the fact so many, especially young people, no longer buy the usual talking points, are aware of the occupation, & actually see Palestinians as humans worthy of freedom - wow!

Palestinians were offered a state in 1947, in 1993, in 2000 and in 2008. The only claim the Palestinians had to “concede” was the existence of a Jewish state alongside theirs, on *some* of the Land of Israel. But they couldn’t, because their only cause is Israel’s destruction

Anyone can see that what’s happening is a worldwide Muslim crusade against the Jews, with an assist from a few genderqueer Reconstructionist rabbis

@ArielleLAngel The damage you do is incalculable. It was you who set the genocide libel in motion. It was you who could not bring yourself to condemn the savagery of 10/7. If the future does go your way, it will be a hideous future.

@ZaidJilani The Brits weren’t the colonial power. They had no intention of establishing a colony there. It was the Arabs who colonized the land and then the Ottomans who administered it. Neither native. Why is expelling Arabs not in your eyes “decolonization”? Or is it?

@BinAnimals We exchanged over 1000 criminal for one soldier. Show me another society that places such a high value on human life. We have had the power to utterly eradicate our tormenters for over half a century and we don’t. No other nation in the world shows such restraint.

Israeli propaganda can afford to be preposterous because racist dehumanization has already done the real work for them. If you accept that Palestinians are irrational and violent (“human animals”) and that Hamas is uniquely barbaric then even the flimsiest lies will do. 1/

@joannachen1 wrote a piece for @GuernicaMag about struggling for empathy. I would have loved to read it — but Guernica’s readers decided publishing it showed too much empathy for Israelis and Guernica memory-holed it. No, they don’t get the irony.

“There was goodwill but not enough to straddle the chasm that divided us.” In Israel, a translator tries to tread the line of empathy. From @joannachen1 's essay “From the Edges of a Broken World.”

Identity is no defense to malice. Of course Jews are over-represented in anti-Israel activity. Ruth Wisse explained this best.

To be blunter: I don't think the Jewish advocacy organizations are as interested in protecting actual Jewish students as they are in quashing anti-Zionist speech, even if the anti-Zionist speech comes from Jews themselves

The Jewish religious calendar is carefully calibrated to the land of Israel, and nowhere else. On the last day of Sukkot, which fell in 2023 on 10/7, we begin to pray for rain. We stop praying for rain on Pesach, in two weeks. Today, the last heavy rains of the year fell.

@ZaidJilani @shadihamid @havivrettiggur gets it right — steelmanning is nothing more than understanding your enemy. If Shadi and other Palestinian advocates can’t do that, it makes them considerably weaker.

This is interesting, watching yourself slip away from honest intellectual positions into faith and identitarian advocacy, and feeling it too strongly to want to reclaim that honesty. Lots of people experience it, few do it in full self-awareness that it’s happening. He knows…

A Jewish embargo of the Ivy League means, I believe, that the universities are occupied under international law and therefore have right to resist by any means necessary.

An absolutely amazing find by @ShMMor : in The Hague itself a memorial to the Holocaust contains the exact same reference to the Torah claimed by South Africa to be “genocidal” in intent

This may all seem a bit far from today's proceedings at the ICJ in the Hague, but it's not. Walk 20 minutes to the city's Holocaust Memorial and you'll see this poignant bas relief accompanied only by the exact same passage on Amalek in Dutch and Hebrew. Is this genocidal? 9/20

The ideology that makes Palestinian suffering acceptable — indeed, compulsory — is anti-Zionism, which expects Palestinians to suffer and die rather than than make peace with the Jewish State and prioritize their own wellbeing.

Notable that the concept of “anti-Palestinian racism” has never entered the American political lexicon. Amid all the concern about Israeli brutality inciting antisemitism, no one stops to wonder about the ideology that makes Palestinian suffering so acceptable.
