What an interesting waste of time Twitter is. Here for nature, science, informed analysis, and an occasional conversation.

There is a flood of sexist comments about @AdeleShoko screaming during the attack, and I have three things to say:

1) You should absolutely scream when you're being attacked, it can throw off the attacker and attract attention
2) I'd like to see how these commenters handle a settler attack
3) Sexists can fuck right off

Together with a CNN crew, we were attacked by Israeli settlers during a visit to Sinjil, West Bank🇵🇸.
They smashed our windshield, pelted our car with stones, and tried to slash our tire.

Lindsey Graham was an imperialist warmonger who supported every major US military intervention during his career. He did not care about humanity, or international law, or even US citizens. He served the interests of the US capitalist class and the US proxy regime of Israel.

I was there with Rep. Khanna as an expert on settler violence.

Armed settlers were the first to arrive, and then, as has become the norm, Israeli soldiers joined them. Together they detained the delegation for over an hour

The IDF is lying and not for the first time.

The lesson of Maine is not that we need fewer amateurs. We need far more of them, recruited seriously, through class-rooted organizations. This is old wisdom on the left.

On March 6 I asked @RoKhanna if he’d take a Palestinian-led trip to the West Bank. He did it

[Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1]

Israeli settlers armed with clubs, rocks and a knife blocked our way and attacked us & another group of journalists today in the occupied West Bank.
At the same location where settlers beat US citizen Saif Musallet to death, exactly one year ago today.
Our full report will air on @CNN on Monday.

Basically what happened with these two losers is they spent ten minutes kicking and punching me and the other fully grown men, and when they couldn't get us to back down or hit them back, they turned on the women, elderly, and dumpsters. Then when that wasn’t enough for their fragile little egos, they called the army and ordered them to arrest us.

One of the settlers directing soldiers to detain me. Which they did. They demanded my phone and passcode. I refused and they told me I was under arrest. Then twenty minutes later they just left.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

Watch this dumbass get his machine gun tangled in his dog leash. Then nasty settler bitch Shimon Attiah throw a temper tantrum and flip a dumpster. The most pathetic people on earth.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

A few videos of last night’s attack, when violent settlers invaded umm al-khair to plant Israeli flags and try to steal another tract of land. Take note of all the cheap shots. Throwing a tiny female activist to the ground. Knees to the groin. Kicking someone while hiding behind a friend. Taking a shot at my throat. And then scampering to the IDF when they arrived to cry victim. To be clear — the Palestinians and their allies did not ask for this confrontation, and did not throw a single punch back, which would have resulted in an immediate arrest if not murder. All they want is to be left alone in their tiny peaceful village.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Marco Rubio is the colonial dictator of Venezuela, this is horrific:

“The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks, a relationship akin to parents handing out allowances to children. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom.”
