@willmenaker No way that's true

In the top tier of the most evil and humiliating things a US President has done in my lifetime

@KimIversenShow @shaig I'd love it if you'd share the foundation for more of your conspiracy theories about Jewish people

Yes, but can Jews today truly trace their ancestry back to Ancient Jews? Israel has banned genetic testing like 23 and Me, why is that? Because the truth is the Ancient Jews are now Catholic Italians, Muslim Turks, Arabs and even Palestinians. Jews who immigrated from middle eastern countries are likely descendants, but those who immigrated in from Europe are likely converts.

@paulg In your view, should Israel stop trying to eliminate Hamas?

A grim month: 31 Israeli and at least 3600 Palestinian children have been killed since October 7.

@TomLondon6 "Son, don't listen to propaganda on the internet, that's for simple people who don't have strong moral conviction"

“Daddy, what did YOU do when there was a genocide of Palestinians?”

@Migu58430 @DrEliDavid twitter.com/elly_bar/statu…

🚨 Breaking – Prime Minister of Egypt 🇪🇬 just said that Egypt is “ready to sacrifice millions of lives” to prevent even a single Palestinian refugee to enter. Why so much hatred for Palestinians? Maybe because Egypt knows them too well...

@Dream3r_eth @DrEliDavid twitter.com/elly_bar/statu…

@DrEliDavid 😂 that’s so off and misleading. What’s the strain you smoked before writing this? I need some of the same

@WiscoPDX @GrapefruitGals @yashar Look at the map, there are areas that are safe

For the people who say “well, they were warned to leave,” and then add nothing else to that statement, please try to have the empathy to understand generational trauma. And I’m not even getting into the issue of war crimes here…just basic empathy. Palestinians, or any other group of people who have been displaced, have generations of trauma surrounding repeated displacement and broken promises. You don’t even need to get into a Hamas vs Israel thing here to get how deeply painful it is to constantly have to pickup and move and hear those stories from your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. It’s exhausting, painful, and traumatizing.

@TomLondon6 How are you defining genocide? Because Israel does not intend to destroy a nation or group, as that term is defined This is war, and it's brutal, but words have meaning, and it seems to me that you want to use the right words

Israel uses 2 techniques often 1. Accusing critics of being antisemitic 2. Seeking advantage by referencing the Holocaust It is time the world insisted on looking at the facts and at International Law as the case may be It is Israel which is currently carrying out a genocide

@KassyDillon The fucking New York Times HR department will be having quite the week

This you?

@BenjaminNorton Yes, so simple Is America a Western settler-colonialist project? Should every country revert back to pre-colonial status or just Israel? What about borders set by defensive wars? What about security for Israel? So simple

No, actually it's simple: - Israel is a Western settler-colonialist project founded on the mass ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians. - US imperialism uses Israel as a military outpost in resource-rich West Asia. - Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land for decades and will never allow Palestinians to create a state of their own. - Palestinians living under Israeli control are subjected to a brutal apartheid regime, as even Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch now admit. - Another 6 million Palestinians are registered as refugees with the UN, and Israel denies them their legal right to return to their homeland. - Palestinians have a right under international law to armed resistance against Israeli colonialism, as stated clearly in UN General Assembly resolution 35/35, among others. - Israel's government has become increasingly far-right, racist, and eliminationist, and current members of the ruling coalition include literal fascist parties who want to commit genocide against Palestinians. That's what they are trying to do now, while hoping to once again ethnically cleanse the Palestinians who survive, forcing them out of Gaza into Egypt. - The majority of the world, including almost all of the Global South (with a few exceptions), supports the Palestinian national-liberation struggle. Israel is supported by the United States and its proxies. But Washington uses its veto in the UN Security Council to prevent any international action against Israel's constant crimes against humanity.

@MANinUNITED @HilzFuld It was painful to watch this woman so confidently spew lies She just alluded to herself as an authority, made ad hominem attacks and echoed conspiracy theories That is the opposite of logic and substantive information Unbelievable that people will fall for her misinformation

@HilzFuld This video is a 10/10. Who is she? I want to express my gratitude and admiration for her. One of the best videos I’ve seen.

@ProfKFranke You didn't mention the word *Hamas* even once This letter is proof of cowardice

Columbia/Barnard faculty have signed an open letter supporting our students, making the point that identifying with the suffering of Gazans and historically contextualizing the current war in Israel/Gaza is not anti-Semitic. Please read and share. docs.google.com/document/d/1cV…

@rafaelshimunov No That's an insult to Israelis and to Americans who lost loved ones on 9/11 9/11 was an ideologically motivated terrorist attack targeting a group of people and a way of life, like 10/7 Israel's security protocols stemming from intifadas is a completely different matter

If October 7 was Israel’s 9/11, 9/11 is every day in Palestine for 75 years.

@chrislhayes @chrislhayes do you have confidence in the number from the Gaza Health Ministry?

Every possible means we have of assessing the loss of life in Gaza - from journalists on the ground, doctors in hospitals, international NGO's, first person accounts, aerial images of the scope of bombardment point toward an enormous human toll.

@haideralmosawi What do you think of Hamas?

What's happening in Israel/Palestine might be confusing to many. And many in the West think the situation is crystal clear: Israel is defending itself against a group hell-bent on its destruction. You may even be wondering: How do I know seemingly good people who could be supporting such terrorism? Are they not as good as I imagined them to be? Have they been deceiving me all this time? I want to bring clarity to this situation, and I hope you can understand why people can be pro-Palestine (and it's NOT because they're anti-Semitic). To understand why good people can't see eye to eye on what's happening in Israel/Palestine, we have to admit a simple fact: When we talk about Israel, we're talking about 2 completely different things. Westerners may think of Israel as a homeland for Jews after the horrors of the Holocaust. The Jews deserve to be safe, and the current conflict with the Palestinians seems to be a continuation of the hostility towards the Jews. This does seem like a reasonable view to hold. But this is only one side of the story. The justification for the establishment of the State of Israel was based on the slogan: A land *without a people* for a people without a land But where were the Palestinians? Where did they come from? They were in the land. But their existence was conveniently overlooked. Why? To pave the way for their genocide. The Jewish homeland the Zionists wanted had to be cleared from its inhabitants. And that's what happened during the establishment of Israel, and what continues to happen to this day. Not because the Palestinians posed a threat to the Jews, but because they were an inconvenience to the ideal of a Jewish homeland. The Israel the Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and other pro-Palestinian supporters know is NOT the Jewish homeland intended to protect the Jews, but the state intending to eradicate the Palestinians. This is why we're not seeing eye to eye when it comes to Israel. And this isn't a "difference of opinion", but lies vs facts. Glossing over the crimes Israel has perpetrated FOR its establishment, SINCE its establishment, and continues to perpetrate even BEFORE Hamas's recent attacks removes all the RELEVANT context needed to understand the pro-Palestinian position and, I hope you can see, is a valid anti-Israel position. NOT Israel "as a safe haven for Jews", but Israel that is genocidal towards the Palestinians. From Day 1 (and before). You are being fed a media narrative that is supporting a political position intended to further Western interests, at the expense of fairness and humanity. Western leaders want you to not empathize with the Palestinians so they can pave the way for their genocide, without any remorse or objection from its citizens. They want you to think: "The Palestinians deserved what they got." Unfortunately, many Westerners have already fallen for this psyop. They are justifying the murder of 2+ million Palestinians because of the lie that the Palestinians won't accept leaving the Jews to live in peace. The Palestinians want peace, but not with the state that was established to eradicate them. If you want to learn more, you can look up: • The Nakba (Catastrophe): How the Palestinians were driven out of Palestine • The Deir Yassin massacre: One of many massacres of the (then) defenseless Palestinian population • The Right of Return: The law that allows ANY Jew to enter Israel and become a citizen, but Palestinians forced out of their homes aren't allowed to return (and by now I hope you've realized that they're not allowed to return NOT because they pose a security risk, but because their existence isn't welcome in Israel) • Any news about Israeli settlers in recent months killing Palestinians, abusing them, or evicting them out of their homes. Again, this is before Hamas's attacks. I want to help good people NOT fall for propaganda, and to not end up justifying the genocide currently taking place, which is endorsed by Western leaders. If you are in a position to do something, please do something. If you live in a democracy, your voice matters. Please use it.

@haideralmosawi It's a lie that Hamas is antisemitic?

Part of Israeli propaganda: Referring to Israelis killed as Jews, to give the impression they were killed BECAUSE they are Jews, reinforcing the lie that Hamas and those who are pro-Palestine are anti-Semitic.

@mualphaxi 1. Validate our feelings, tell everyone we're right 2. Give us permission not to take tests or write papers, pay our attorneys' fees, and buy us plane tickets 3. Don't take donations from people who support Israel 4. Boycott Israel

Stanford Palestinian activists have released their List of Demands and it includes some amazing stuff "Full round trip covered by University upon the signing of a ceasefire for students to visit their family and friends and grieve properly." Upon the signing of a ceasefire... "Stanford establishes an investigative committee to correct the directives, faculty, and research initiatives contributing to subjugation of Palestinian people." Stanford is not going to agree to a single one of these demands

@StopAntisemites These posters are so triggering for these people. Good.

UPDATE: this woman tearing down posters of missing Israeli children has been identified as Lauren Squadron. Ironically she works part time as a babysitter (!) for ArtistBabysitting, a boutique child care agency serving families in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and parts of NJ.

@MarioNawfal You're a fraud for saying *violates FLA's law against Antisemitism* It clearly states in the letter it violates FLA law against providing assistance to a terrorist group The group's own materials say they're *part of Hamas* Let them litigate a First Amendment suit, good luck

🚨JUST IN: DeSantis Shuts Down Pro-Palestinian University Groups University of Florida & University of South Florida's "Students for Justice in Palestine" has been deactivated. It was accused of violating Florida's laws against antisemitism. Do you agree with this decision? Source: Mary Margaret Olohan from Daily Signal
