Daily thread: X truth-tellers of the Gaza genocide who highlighted the slaughter and torture of Palestinians at personal cost and risk 🧵 [piecemeal, in no particular order, with suggestions welcome in comments - simply based on helpful posts, not screened for ideological purity]
This is something I have been worrying a lot about. We have psychopaths waging this war. We have seen Netanyahu gleefully carry out a genocide in Gaza reducing it to a nuclear bomb site. Why would he not go further now in Iran? There has been absolutely no consequences for his war crimes in Gaza. Trump has only assisted them. This has got to stop. As the citizens of the world we have to stop this. They can not be allowed to carry out a nuclear strike on the millions of innocent people of Iran. These are our fellow human beings, regardless of their leaders. This is insanity.

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

Fascinating how @jonsac used his microphone while he had one: “Do not turn your nose up at people, nor walk about the place arrogantly, for God does not love arrogant or boastful people.” (31:18) Bravo @MarinaPurkiss: “bear witness impartially: do not let hatred of others lead you away from justice, but adhere to justice, for that is closer to awareness of God.” (5:8)
The [Muslim] believers, the Jews, the Christians, and the Sabians — all those who believe in God and the Last Day and do good — will have their rewards with their Lord (2:62)
Today was a historic day for the three monotheistic religions. Zionists have tried to pit all us against each other. But today we said proudly that Jews, Muslims and Christians refuse to be enemies. We share a heritage and common humanity. Thank you, Carrie.
The Lagrange points, named after the French mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange, are unique locations in space where gravitational forces create a delicate equilibrium btw the gravitational pull of 2 large celestial bodies, such as a planet & its moon or a planet & the sun. 1/
@EconTalker@EconTalker is playing victim; @nntaleb was substantially right (with rhetorical flourish). Russ Roberts spent a decade in Midwest, helping set up @washuolin, and is a colonial settler, an American living and working around the land the Arab College in Jerusalem occupied — in OPT
