Ezra Klein’s recent video about the “one-state reality” of Israelis and Palestinians caused a stir. It’s what a foreigner might think who isn’t curious about what Israelis and Palestinians think is happening to them.
Here is @havivrettiggur response:

@yvonneridley That is really incredible, hard to believe really. Does he go on to say why this happened?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Where is the left now?
Where are the “pro-Palestinian” and “anti war” activists when the Islamic Republic is killing innocent Iranians?
At least 20 people got killed in 10 days protests including 4 children….
Same story, my friends, the same story I once told @billmaher.

@academic_la That's some amazing social engineering you're doing Shaiel!
What kind of academic are you?

Gaza was not doomed to this fate. Before October 7, the Strip had universities, clinics, an economy, a generation intent on real progress. But Hamas squandered every opportunity and weaponized every resource. The blockade was not born of inevitability but of a movement that openly smuggled in weapons and turned Gaza into a terror state.

Over the years, Hamas redirected every institution – educational, healthcare, governmental – toward confrontation, making October 7 the culmination of a long-term strategy in which civilian life was subordinated to a war machine.

Gaza had options. Hamas extinguished them.

@Villgecrazylady @Villgecrazylady Out of all the possibilities to be wrong - you have chosen the wrongest.

@jvnior Dinosaurs were also Muslim.

@AdameMedia A potent example of cherry picking. Show the rest of the discussion with Sam Harris, where he and Bill Maher show exactly why Ben (who later capitulated) is wrong.

@yazanomarrr So Gaza is your land? Or the entire area between the river and the sea? If Gaza, will you & your leaders stop claiming the right of return? Are you aware of continuous Jewish settlements in the area?

@Partisan_12 I'm scared of ideological radicals having access to gullible useful idiots through dopamine-maximizing algorithms.

@goddek @TommyLambertOKC Doc,
1. Figure is ~1,200 people. Why is this your 1st retort?

2. Hundreds of reports every single day r/terrorist activities across middle east (check out attempted uprisings in Jordan, Iraq, etc.).

3. Hamas exists because it was voted in by Gaza people.

4. Amin al-Husseini

@furkangozukara @omadawnx I do.
So that refutes your thesis.
Aren't you supposed to be a scientist?

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@furkangozukara I see a lot of misinformed people doing semi-coordinated chanting and drumming.

@mehdirhasan I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to believe in one narrative - happens to be yours.

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@FranceskAlbs Do you support the new deal? Would you be in favor of a Palestinian autonomy that recognizes Israel as a soverign Jewish state? Do you want peace?

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@KonstantinKisin I think @nntaleb is really convincing with his kind euphemisms. Frankly, anyone who uses emotion should be believed immediately.

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@doctor_rahmeh Did you previously deny the Holocaust? Do you still? Do you support terror? Should you treat patients? Does individual health co-align with societal health?

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@ofrika @AmirHetsroni @kiyahwillis Agreed.

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@kiyahwillis So important! Thank you for putting this up again... 😀

[harelasafa @harelasaf]

@kiyahwillis Incredible. Thank you!
