@JasonKirk_fyi I can’t tell you how much it sucks as a Jewish guy who wants a free, self-determined state for the Palestinians alongside a safe, secure Israel, to have Christian Zionists that just want my demise as “allies”

[@eliothiggins.bsky.social @EliotHiggins]

Those who deny war crimes in Syria using war crimes in Syria to attack Israel is a particularly disgusting aspect of the discourse around the current situation. If you want to know more about this attack, then watch this investigation https://t.co/ezkp375Tq4

A thoughtful and persuasive analysis.

[Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp]

Three principles for a better Israeli war policy:

1) Conduct a counterterrorism mission, not regime change

2) Protect civilians and end the siege

3) Make a postwar course change in the West Bank to promote a political solution

Much more detail here:

Yesterday I met with family members of hostages currently in Gaza.

They said: “We can do it all. We can fight for our families held hostage by Hamas, stand against occupation, stand with impacted Israelis, stand up for innocent Palestinians.”

May their humanity be an example.

This message was written by a Palestinian to a Jewish friend. Then that Jewish friend passed it on to Palestinians friends. I don't know the person who originally wrote it. And now I'm passing it on to you. As the rhetoric becomes genocidal, root yourself in humanity. Pass it on.

not to state the obvious but it is so nice to have a real president during an international crisis holy shit

[Adam Jentleson @AJentleson]

sorry if this does not fit the narrative but our state director heard these folks out until they had nothing more to say. then they hung out in the lobby for a while until other tenants complained (we share a building) and they were asked to leave by security. but hey you do you.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We must, without equivocation, denounce antisemitism.

We must also, without equivocation, denounce Islamophobia.

To all of you hurting, I want you to know: I see you. You belong.

i think this is a consequence of using race as a lense of oppression *without* recognizing race as a malleable construct. in no world were jewish people considered white in Nazi germany.

Our statement, progressives and anti occupation activist in israel:

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Hamas’s terrorist attacks against Israel.
The need for humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
Russia’s ongoing brutal war against Ukraine.

We are at a global inflection point that is bigger than party or politics.

Tonight, I'll address the nation at 8:00 PM ET from the Oval Office.

The Biden-Harris Administration stands with the Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities in our country.

Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and hate of any kind must be condemned unequivocally.
