@ChrisVanHollen Your pro bono work for Hamas is appreciated.

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

@jeremycorbyn Quick, invite them to Tea at the House of Commons!

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government. Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

@Palestine001_ Then they stole her Subway sandwich and screamed “This is MAGA Country!”

This is extremely shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this. 🇦🇺 filmmaker Juliet said: I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla. They also used water torture and beatings.

@grahamformaine You didn’t respond to my texts last night.

For decades, the powerful have taken. They took so much, they began to think we didn't even exist at all. But they don't know Maine. We are taking back what is ours. Our new ad ⬇️

@kaceytron @grahamformaine Good Job!

@grahamformaine I don't take any of the people pearl clutching over this seriously, a child rapist is president. Humans are imperfect, if another AIPAC/Israel shill did this the same Republicans and Liberals reaching across the aisle to condem him would be singing a different tune.

A message from my wife Amy:

@HarrygPettit General Glubb thinks you’re hilarious.

I saw the film Palestine 36 last night, while in Beirut. It portrays how the British kept handing Palestinian land to Zionist settlers, and how indigenous rural Palestinians organised armed resistance to fight back. Two things. First, 'israel' clearly learned their brutal tactics for oppressing Palestinians from the British. Rounding up men, executing them, blowing up whole villages, setting fire to crops etc. etc. It is demonic that these same tactics are still being inflicted on Palestinians and Lebanese villages right now, and the world abandons them. Second, why can't we humanise Palestinian resistance fighters now? The film heroised the men who took up arms. It is a disgrace that so few are willing to stand up for, defend, or humanise the men who are taking up arms against the occupation now. Maybe they will make films about them in 100 years when there is nothing riding on it.

@grahamformaine Who doesn’t love a town hall!

If you want to yell at Susan Collins, you better buy a $1,000 dinner. The last time she held a town hall, Bill Clinton was president. As Senator, working class Mainers will always have a direct line. Billionaires can call and talk to an intern for a change.

@SenPeterWelch @ChrisVanHollen You’re somehow only the second most deranged Senator from Vermont.

I agree with @ChrisVanHollen. The status quo on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unacceptable. Netanyahu’s government is burying the two-state solution with U.S.-funded weapons and a blank check. The next Democratic President should recognize a State of Palestine and stop providing offensive weapons to Israel until Israel agrees to a plan to end the occupation.

@AyoubKhanMP What time is Shiva? Should we bring a babka?

You are a genocidal maniac, and you will be brought to justice one day!

@statueofcritic @ariel_haivri That was actually the motto of our Taglit Bus.

@ariel_haivri Fuck Israel

Powerful essay by Senator @ChrisVanHollen about the need for Democrats to rethink their Middle East policy and insist on a Palestinian state, for moral and strategic reasons alike. nytimes.com/2026/05/26/opi…

@ariel_haivri @zoecabina Every time that I have arrived at the Atlit train station was against my will.

@TheEconomist We covered this Mishigas in 2020: “Incredible: Young Yiddish Enthusiast Doesn’t Hate Israel or His Parents” dailyfreier.com/2020/10/13/inc…

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates economist.com/culture/2026/0…

@strxwmxn @Sarahjdublin

@Sarahjdublin What books on Palestinian history do you recommend?

The more Palestinian history you read the more pro Palestinian you become

@matarain @BarakRavid Your position is quite clear. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion… .

@BarakRavid He is out of touch with reality. Real peace requires the recognition of a Palestinian state. Israel must show serious commitment and make a viable offer. The Arab position is clear.

The leaders, especially those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan who don't have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, were surprised by Trump's request. "There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there," one of the U.S. officials said

@j_fishback Dear Hashem, Thank you for answering our prayers by turning our enemies into Buffoons. But I’m afraid you may have overdone it.

I met her last week, got engaged on Wednesday, completed all of Catholic marriage prep on Thursday, found a venue Friday, and got married yesterday. Now hire me as Governor so I can deliver this level of speed and efficiency for Florida.
