Really bugs me how I see people worried that being nice will compromise their judgment (no “sugarcoating”) but never worried that the pleasure of being brutal motivates or warps their judgment. I’m just supposed to assume it’s a disincentive to be mean when they seem to love it.

The Sameer Project
The Sameer Project@sameerproject·
As a parent what would you do if you couldn’t feed your children? Watching them starve, crying for food, as your own empty stomach gnaws at you. HELP: chuffed.org/project/113222…. Children in Gaza are still malnourished, still starving, a famine still underway. Aid trucks are still just trickling in, no where near as many as necessary to feed a besieged population. The Sameer Project team visited Preparatory School C in Deir al-Balah area to deliver meals to the entire school that was transformed into a family shelter. We distributed 500 spiced rice meals with vegetables, each one costing a little less than $6. The entire sheltered distribution on September 21 cost $3,199. Every donation, any amount, has an impact. For just $6 you can help a parent feed their children, fending off starvation for another day. Donate to the South Campaign to give food. Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "South aid") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "South aid")

@malonebarry Has the protester been named/interviewed yet? Because the whole episode seemed canned almost to the point of rehearsed. Not saying it was staged, but I feel like it wouldn't have looked much different had it been.

It is good that these people lose their jobs. It is good that they are shamed and humiliated and must live with the repercussions for the rest of their lives. It is good if they wake up every day until they die wishing they hadn't said what they said. We cannot have a civilized and decent society unless there are severe social consequences for people who publicly express sentiments like these. These people are barbarians. Savages. And should be treated as such. "Free speech" does not mean that we should act with anything but revulsion and disgust to people who say revolting and disgusting things.

I am shocked - shocked! - to discover the entire “exodus” story was nothing more than lobbying on behalf of the mega-rich. Wealth tax now!

@Michael_J_Glass @rivkahbrown I guess "commonplace" is ambiguous - and doesn't suggest all such communities. But I do respect your perspective. Only jumped in because I wanted to vouch for Rivkah as a journalist I'd never suspect of lying about something like this.

Rivkah Brown@rivkahbrown·
At my Jewish primary school & cheder, we were taught not only that Arab lives were worth less than Jewish ones, but that "Palestinians" didn't exist. Anyone who denies this is commonplace within Jewish communities is lying. Watch the film 'Israelism'.
Dov Forman@DovForman

This is disgraceful from @mrjamesob – platforming a modern blood libel against Jews live on national radio. There’s no such thing as “Shabbat school”. No Jewish child in the UK is taught that vile, racist nonsense. This is a stain on @LBC and its producers.

@LeftieStats @Moreincommon_ I'm being dumb: how is the 'unsure' bigger in the overall average than in any of the individual categories of voters?

The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore is the only museum in America to officially endorse panpsychism. They voted on it.

Palestinian communism dates back to the 1920s under British colonial rule. At its peak, the country's left-wing movement was one of the strongest in the Arab world. “Red Star Over Palestine,” Jacobin's latest podcast series, explores that history.
