Appreciate this interview between @marclamonthill and @saharazizlaw . As Sahar points out, anti-Muslim rhetoric may be nastier and more blatant than it's ever been, but it's not anything new in American politics. It's been a cornerstone of Republican talking points for decades.

Israeli historian and genocide scholar Raz Segal says Israeli leaders' dehumanizing language about Palestinians in Gaza and the IDF's conduct are cause for alarm. "We're seeing the combination of genocidal acts with special intent. This is indeed a textbook case of genocide."

We must ask: Why did #Israel destroy 256 schools in #Gaza ? Why did #Israel destroy dozens of hospitals in #Gaza ? Why did #Israel destroy 60% of #Palestinian residential housing in #Gaza ? The answer is: to ethnically cleanse and destroy #Palestinians . #genocide

Israel bombed 2 main schools in Khuza'a town. Until now, Israel has destroyed 266 schools in Gaza Strip. All of it along with dozens of hospitals and 60% of Gaza residential areas and 70% of Gaza infrastructure were used by Hamas to hide their leaders 👍

If Jewish professors were subjected to the same witch hunts that Muslim and Arab professors are experiencing in America and Europe, we would rightly be condemning it as antisemitism. Yet, Congress and universities are mum when Islamophobia runs rampant against Muslim profs!?
