@OutFrontCNN @bungarsargon @VanJones68 Who’s supporting on Hamas Mr. Jones Show me. Tired AIPAC talking point for someone who opposes what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank.

Supporting FULL equality for ALL between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is not a “kooky” Idea.

Understatement of the year: “We may find out that Netanyahu had gone too far.” ⁦@billmaher⁩. Ya, think? Israel remains the only nation in the world that legally discriminates by religion that Maher for some reason never criticizes. #doublestandard

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

@dylanotes The board should have kicked him out long ago. He has been spouting this slander for months. He equated the keffiyeh to a swastika long ago. ADL is a human rights org is like saying Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

@ryangrim Jonathan Greenblatt has also equated the kaffiyeh to the swastika and Palestinian rally’s to those of Nazis. He has so undermined and cheapened the true antisemitism that exists today. ADL should be ashamed. Mr. Greenblatt committing a Shanda and should be ashamed.

@ASE What’s the deal with the white paint dropped on ship by drone?

@FranceskAlbs Assuming the third pic is the crew preparing for boarding of IDF and being abducted/arrested.

@Hind_Gaza Wow, these responses are showing a truly psychopathic lot taking pleasure in forced displacement and ethnic cleansing.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

@jaketapper on @billmaher saying it’s about oppressor and oppressed viewpoint at colleges. You might want to read a bit about colonialism and occupation. And BTW, there are plenty of Jewish people appalled by what Israel is doing and America is funding in Gaza. Not a monolith.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

@piersmorgan Let the antisemitism semitism, ‘Hamas supporter barrage of attacks begin. Opposing Israeli govt is NOtT antisemitic, nor is it even against Israel or anti- Jewish, I would argue just the opposite. Netanyahu gov not only the worst thing for Palestinians, but Palestinians alike.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

@prem_thakker thanks for asking questions to State spox that need to be asked on Gaza. When she reads talking pts referring you to Israeli gov on airstrikes. who pays billions/yr for the jets and weapons? Ask her if she can list one Israeli action US opposes, or iALL Hamas fault?

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."

In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza.

Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.

While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition.

Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.

She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.

@RabbiUkraine A despicable attack and crime and so horrible for the young couple. The murderer set back advancement of humanitarian support for Gaza and does NOT represent those of us who oppose what is occurring in Gaza, and want to see EVERYONE, Palestinian and Israelis alike free and equal.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

Will someone please ask State spox when they plan to follow through on Pres. Trump’s promise made in Oval Office on Monday at a NFL event, where he said “We are going to help the people of Gaza get some food.” @APDiploWriter I’m looking at you. Who’s been blocking for 60+ days?

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

Come on @billmaher. To answer your question: “Free Palestine” from who? From OCCUPATION. Have you ever been to the West Bank? Invite @TaNehisiCoats to show. Linking anyone who opposes US $ political support for what Israel is doing in WB and Gaza to supporting Hamas is lazy.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

How did @jaketapper @CNNSOTU this morning flounder so badly w/ Rep. Mike Rounds when the congressman told Tapper, Pres. Trump had to fix the horrible trade agreement in place w/ Canada. Come on Jake, how you didn’t remind Rep. Rounds that it was Trump who brokered that agreement?

[PEN Malta @MaltaPen]

PEN Malta unequivocally condemns the raid on Jerusalem’s @Edu_Bookshop and the arrest of Mahmoud and Ahmed Muna by the Israeli occupation. This is an assault on free expression and cultural diversity—the very foundations of our global literary community.

‘Must see’ segment on @60Minutes on the Biden Administration’s legacy on Gaza. A damning piece that should be viewed by all Americans, particularly our policymakers.

[Blake Selzer @BlakeSelzer]

Thank for @RepMcGovern for your words on the House floor on Thursday, particularly poignant as the world memorialized human rights champion Jimmy Carter. “PM Netanyahu has the absolute right to defend his people, but there is not international right to vengeance. Where is our

casualties are somehow o.k. In my opinion does not make Israel more safe, it makes Israel less safe, less secure. Sanctioning and attacking the ICC is not only bad for Israel, it’s bad for the United States. The ICC called for the arrest of Hamas leaders, now the Republicans
