His family survived the Holocaust.
He founded Human Rights Watch.
He directed the ACLU.

Now he’s saying Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Excellent CNN interview:

“Israel continues killing women and children in Gaza. We cannot remain silent in the face of these atrocities. We cannot stop being supportive, because tomorrow we will need solidarity.”

@RitchieTorres What we invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and upwards of 500,000 people were killed? Would that have been war crime? Oh wait we did do that.

@RnaudBertrand It’s the old accidental truth telling- happens every once in a blue moon.

@spookyknickers @ask_aubry I wasn’t sure about the part where she seemed to have said something about his neighborhood. If she did make a disparaging remark it might well have been racial but it was unclear.

[But Ya ARE Blanche @TamarSmith3]

@ask_aubry The woman sounds like a jerk and a snob. Possibly worse if the redacted part “(my neighborhood)” indicates a part of town where Mexicans live. But that’s hard to tell. Threatening her though is obviously not right.

@SalvatoreDiMag2 @NY1 Turnstiles like this are in subway systems all over the world- in other cities like DC too.

@kycarrerolopez Tyra Banks is the worst. And the rest of them- trash.

@VreelandZap @cocozzello @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Are you sure? You’re saying it’s her grandfather who was genetically related to the Mayflower passenger and not anyone else in her family?

[But Ya ARE Blanche @TamarSmith3]

@cocozzello @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Or had descendants who did so.

[But Ya ARE Blanche @TamarSmith3]

@CountryKeys79 @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Man how dumb do you think people are? No the Mayflower wasn’t a slave ship but it’s likely that some of the *people on it* had descendants who owned slaves. And that’s likely why Ms. Davis, and probably some other black Americans, are genetically related to passengers.

@CruellaDKill @Steveamonowens @AmirTalai It’s not funny. But your phrasing and the characters it’s about made me burst out laughing.

[But Ya ARE Blanche @TamarSmith3]

@Steveamonowens @AmirTalai Gus the fireman? I get that you’re thinking people w age gaps can have friendly relationships and of course, yes, it’s true. But I’m concerned about your fictional and dated frame of reference and it’s total irrelevance to the situation in the post.
