Yeah, you should be pissed at Zohran. We should not be normalizing shutting down swathes of the city. You do this with game 4, suddenly youre doing it for world cup matches, Trump fundraisers, concerts, protests, whatever. This is bullshit and people should say it.
This is unreal. The New School Student Senate voted to cut ties with their campus Hillel group because it literally sponsored students to materially participate in the BOMBING OF GAZA... and so The New School admin is investigating the student senators.
If Mayor Mamdani was Jewish, protestors organizing chants outside his home before Eid (or a Jewish holiday) calling for his deportation to Uganda, vilifying his faith, would be front page everywhere for antisemitism, and likely a new bill would be crafted by City Council to buffer zone against protests at his residence.
I just saw a Palestinian man holding the body of his 6-year-old daughter in Gaza, killed today by an Israeli strike on refugees in tents.
Without Palestinians on the ground and social media I wouldn’t have seen it, because mainstream Western media pretends it’s not happening.
The line that the testimonies “aren’t verified” misses the point. First, they’re fact-checked and corroborated by other outlets. Second, Israel blocks journalists, the Red Cross, and monitors from prisoners.
Like the Gaza press ban, the goal is to bury the facts and obfuscate.
Another stolen land sale is happening tonight at a right wing synagogue, Young Israel of Jamaica Estates.
In Queens, where its defenders are already promising gun violence.

After a completely manufactured display of 'remorse' over the desecration of a cross in the southern Lebanese village of Debel, Israeli forces are demolishing parts of the border town, bulldozing solar panels that supply electricity and power its water station.
President Trump’s dangerous threats reached a new low this morning. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” he wrote.
J Street is calling on our leaders to exercise their powers to restrain and remove this president.
✍️ Tell Congress: Remove President Trump! https://t.co/wycVU58z7V
The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment.
Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law.
Netanyahu’s allies in the Knesset just approved a $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United States in January. It is fully within their ability to fund Iron Dome and other defensive systems.
Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act.
Exactly—Every dollar Israel spends on illegal settlements and displacing Palestinians is one it chooses not to spend on Iron Dome.
Israel could prioritize its people’s safety, but instead funds war crimes that make them even less safe and then asks US taxpayers to cover the gap.
Bear with me for a personal story that sheds light on this 'antisemitic hate crime' issue.
Last year I was invited to deliver a lecture on state violence to a conference. I used Gaza as the main example. A Jewish woman confonted me in the refreshments queue. She accused me of selecting an inappropriate example. I replied that I'm against Netanyahu's regime and I hope you are too. She said nothing and returned to her seat. That was it. Nothing more.
The following morning, the conference organiser rang to inform me that I had been reported to the regional police service as the perpetrator of an antisemitic hate crime. NFA, of course, but the incident has still been registered and the university informed. So it's on the statistics. How often is this happening? Genuine question, because I really don't know.
Massive settler attack unfolding in Al-Halawa in Masafer Yatta. At least forty settlers attacking people, torching property, and blocking ambulances. Many injuries.
