On raw numbers, one was a near-complete reduction, and the other was not. Yes, I can buy into most of the things you just said as caveats. Some were expelled. Some fled violence. Some faced persecution. Or dispossession. Or rising anti-Jewish discrimination. And some left voluntarily, believing that life in Israel would be better. Fine. But the numbers are brutal: they went from more than a million to less than 30,000. Meanwhile, the growth of Palestinian/Arab citizens of Israel has been spectacularly large. Was the Nakba premeditated: yes, I am not looking to dispute that. As for Switzerland, Palestinians have never made any such claim to that land, and there is no historical basis for it. There is a historical basis to the Jewish claim to the Levant, even if you dispute or reject it, it is based on a widespread and real narrative, and there is plenty of DNA evidence showing Palestinians and all kinds of Jews are related.


As a reporter on the ground, @SecRubio , I can tell you unequivocally that the only entity bombing and killing civilians in Lebanon on a daily basis is the Israeli army. Almost 3,000 dead since March 2nd. More than 100 medical professionals. Almost 200 children. All killed by Israel.


chris smalls is someone to pay no mind to



Actually completely insane that Graham Platner is getting paid $5,000 a month by the US government because he supposedly can't work while he owns a business LMAO




Actions like the one planned for tonight by PAL-Awda outside Park East Synagogue are intended to create fear in the hearts of Jewish New Yorkers and stigmatize our community. This is part and parcel of the rising antisemitism that we are facing. Whatever your politics, whatever your views, this is not the New York way and should be condemned. The right to free speech, even when it is condemnable, is sacrosanct. So, too, is the safety of New Yorkers. I am grateful to the NYPD for the work that I am confident they will do this evening to protect those entering Park East Synagogue and make sure that a protest does not turn into a gauntlet of hate through which Jews must pass.



If you are advancing any sort of identitarian discourse, aimed at any religious or ethnic group, and you are choosing this sort of orientation over an analysis rooted in dialectical materialism, you are spreading right-wing ideology, and nothing else, and your ideas ought to be discarded wholesale

Photographing the faces of Isr. army members (before they started wearing masks) who were occupying Aitaroun in 2025. Photo sent to me today by Captain Dalal 🙏 Take a good look at the faces below.



Israel is committing genocide, the vast majority of genocide scholars (of whom I am one) and human rights organisations agree. @ZackPolanski is only stating a well-established truth. The campaign against him is a campaign of genocide denial.





Israel was literally created by the far right


Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”
