@RepRashida Should have endorsed @KamalaHarris and should have told the @uncommittedmvmt to vote for her. Choices, choices, choices.

[Israeli Americans for Democracy @isrforkamala]

We don't know where this is going and pray for the safe return of our air crews to their bases. We also know that the United States has transferred several missile batteries and 4 fighter squadrons to Israel to defend against any attack from Iran. This is the Biden-Harris admin.

@Nadira_ali12 It might be easier to post a list of what you’re NOT boycotting.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

When Netanyahu was indicted, they said it was fine.
When he funded Hamas, they said it was fine.
When he failed to stop the Iranian nuclear program, they said it was fine.
When he led us through 5 elections in a row to save his skin, they said it was fine.
When he put two terrorist Kahanists in positions of power, they said it was fine.
When he let October 7th happen on his watch, they said it was fine.
When he refused to put together a day after plan, they said it was fine.
When thousands of Palestinian civilians were killed, they said it was fine.
When he couldn't protect the North, they said it was fine.
When he let the hostages die one by one, they said it was fine.
When he destroyed our relations with the world and got us indicted at the ICC and the ICJ, they said it was fine.
When they lowered our credit rating, they said it was fine.
When the IDF lost all discipline and started committing war crimes, they said it was fine.
When settler terrorists started killing Palestinians, they said it was fine.
When they started beating hostage families, they said it was fine.
When the West Bank started burning, they said it was fine.

It's not fine. We can't wait for the next disaster. Netanyahu must go.

@ShabbosK Why go support him? He hasn’t done anything for the hostages.

Despite opposing narratives, Kamala Harris’s pro-Israel credentials are consistent and robust. This fact is often undermined by distortions, but here are the facts. My latest:

Republican women: your vote is a secret. Your husband doesn’t have to know.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Both major American political parties are still largely pro-Israel, because Israel is a democracy and a key ally of the US in the Middle East.

Kamala Harris's record is indisputably pro-Israel.

Anyone saying otherwise has an agenda besides protecting the Jewish state.

@AnalisisUNAL @petrogustavo @mauricio181212 @URosario @RadioUNAL @RadioUNALmed No es resistencia. Es terrorismo. Hamas es un grupo terrorista. Igual que Isis, igual que Al Qaeda. Es que ahora a los terroristas se les llama resistencia?

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.

A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.

Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.

But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.

So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”

I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.

But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.

I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.

900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.

And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.

Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:

Israel.

That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.

Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.

But it’s not my home.

So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.

Israeli first.
Palestinian second.

Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

My favorite learning moment of the year was joining the higher ed world from the admin side, after having been in it, years ago, on the student/educator side, and discovering all the wonderful tools that exist now — like #Canvas!

The people telling you banning guns won’t make them go away are trying to ban abortion.
