@alon_mizrahi Hey bro
I’m currently on the train - all good. WiFi a bit patchy at times.
P.S you’re an embarrassment to the Alon name

Things have just got real in Tel Aviv, and Israel. The actual pain and destruction have begun.
Earlier today, Iran targeted a train station in the center of the country. I didn't want to draw conclusions from it, and waited to see if it was the onset of something new.
Now, there's confirmation. Iran has just destroyed one of Israel's largest train stations in Tel Aviv, and potentially incapacitated a major part of train movement in the entire country.
Israel is a tiny country and has just one major north-south railway, with the biggest stations situated in Haifa and Tel Aviv. Cutting the train movement there means Israel has no mass transit (the roads are heavily jammed routinely).
These are also major transportation hubs, with Israel's busiest and most strategic roads going nearby; breaking some bridges along these roads puts the entire center of the country at a standstill.
This also has far-reaching military consequences: the train is the main transportation solution for IDF soldiers. If what I suspect is taking place becomes reality, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be able to travel to or from home with any measure of efficacy.
More importantly, it's going to become extremely more difficult for Israel to move large number of soldiers north or south when a major call for reservation is announced. A logistical nightmare.
The economic implications of the train being disabled are astronomical: hundreds of thousands of Israelis travel to work each day by train.
This could all be foreseen in advance. A year and a half ago I wrote an article titled 'Iran can end Israel in a few Hours', where I anticipated precisely this scenario.

Iran has started the strategic destruction of Israel.

I work at @base44 , so I see many prompts every day.
Most of them are okay. Some are good. But about 1% are genius.
I spent the last week analyzing that top 1%.
The results were honestly shocking. 🤯
Most users prompt like they are talking to a human:
"Make a cool, modern website for a tech company." (Results: Generic, boring, hallucinations).

הדברים של רייצ׳ל גולדברג-פולין, אימו של הירש החטוף בעזה, בספריה הלאומית הבוקר, לא יוצאים מהראש, ומהלב ומהבטן. קחו 7 דקות לצפות באישה המרשימה הכואבת והחכמה הזו, ולקריאה שלה לכולנו בסיום הדברים:
“Now go out my friends, and be holy״
(מתוך כנס השל לעמיות יהודית ויחסי ישראל-תפוצות של ההסתדרות הציונית העולמית)

@PeterBeinart You constructed a false equivalence between "intifada" and the Israeli flag. You mocked Jewish kids who felt threatened by calls to intifada, positioning them as less than other Jewish students. This "free speech" argument was never your point.
English

@PeterBeinart Chants for "Intifada" is not something students "find" threatening...it's a call to violence. If pro-Israel kids use phrases that call for violence, they should also be banned. This isn't hard.
English

A good critique of my analogy. My point--which I might not have expressed well--is that if we start banning phrases that students find threatening, this kind of campus censorship--which conservatives used to rightly oppose--will be used against pro-Israel kids too.
Tomer Persico@TomerPersico
@PeterBeinart A call for violence is not an "emblem" of something that might be disturbing. It does not *symbolize* violence, it *is* a call for violence.
English

@PeterBeinart I'm a supporter and donor of J Street. I'm all for "Free Palestine". But why you are mocking people who don't want to see chants for an intifada?
English

@PeterBeinart Your tweet had nothing to do with "reacting to Palestine protests" but about the specific calls for "intifada", which are rightly threatening. Do you have no problems with a call to globalize the intifada?
English

the reason I said "some Jewish kids" feel threatened is that not all of them do. Other Jewish students-- in groups like If Not Now, JVP, even J Street U-- react to pro-Palestine protests quite differently. In fact, they're often part of them.
Atak@AlonTakac
@PeterBeinart And to say “some Jewish kids feel threatened” as if to position those who feel threatened by an intifada as weak snowflakes is disingenuous and unfeeling, at best.
English

@PeterBeinart The university presidents weren’t asked to explain their interpretation of the meaning of “intifada”, but to confirm that calling for the genocide to Jews is contrary to their university's codes of conduct. Are you OK with their refusal to do so?
English

@PeterBeinart And to say “some Jewish kids feel threatened” as if to position those who feel threatened by an intifada as weak snowflakes is disingenuous and unfeeling, at best.
English

I know some Jewish kids feel threatened by "intifada," which references uprisings that have involved anti-Jewish violence. But if we ban the phrase, what do we say to Palestinian students who feel threatened by the Israeli flag, emblem of a state that is killing their relatives?
Daniel Goldman@danielsgoldman
There is nothing “contextual” about calls for all Jews to be killed. Jewish students around the country are afraid. If colleges refuse to protect Jewish students from generalized bullying and harassment then the universities either need a new code of conduct or new presidents.
English

‘Globalize the intifada’ into ‘ceasefire now’
Who can argue with a ceasefire!? Well, its hard to take the ‘ceasefire now’ chants seriously when they are literally being sung at the same time as calling to ‘globalize the intifada’.
Also, any call for a ceasefire that doesn’t also call for the immediate release of all civilian hostages, including women, children and elderly, is at best shallow and uncredible and at worst would be a reward of the Oct 7 atrocities.
