Thanks to @CriticalInquiry for publishing these reflections drawn from the @UChicago solidarity encampment. The cowardice of @PaulAlivisatos & other admin in the face of Gaza's ongoing, US-backed extermination is breathtaking. Is there any limit for them?

People are not making enough noise about this and then will complain later. Just maddening.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Anthony Blinken will go down in history as the most genocidal Secretary of State in modern US American history.

The wins keep coming as two of the most bloodthirsty losers in modern history melt down over the end of a monstrous war:

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

You want more schools bombed and more Iranian children killed; just say that. You are a pathetic bloodthirsty imperialist pig.

[🔻Richard Estes, "From the River to the Sea" 🍉 @oshima9]

@jacobin AOC: I support Iron Dome

Smalls: went on a flotilla to try to break the siege of Gaza

Jacobin: Smalls has an out of control ego

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

I’d like to think if I was the mayor of a city where a mass murderer was just gallavanting down my streets I would say something about that.

[Domhnall (Cogito) @CogitoEdu]

Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.

They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide

@TVietor08 @JoeBanner13 shut up

[Josh Frankel @doubleouttahere]

@ryangrim is the goal of israelis to do such horrific, inhuman things that any discussion of them could be called an antisemitic blood libel just based on how outlandish it sounds?

[Christopher Iacovetti @chrisiacovetti]

@vicam33 @isaiahrmartin Bad idea in the eyes of most people, yes, but not in the eyes of @isaiahrmartin’s favorite little genocide colony

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

Israel is not a racist state — glad to see the House vote overwhelmingly to reject all forms of antisemitism. America’s unwavering support for Israel as our democratic ally remains ironclad.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

When critics pointed out black-and-white factual errors from the beginning to the end of the NYT’s “Screams Without Words,” one of the most consequential fabrications in the paper’s history, used to justify a genocide, the paper steadfastly refused to address them. Only when video evidence emerged directly contradicting part of it did they offer a soft “update” to the piece.

Note how differently critics of the Kristof piece are treated. Where the original article did not interview a single victim, Kristof spoke to 14, all corroborated in other ways too. The critics do not challenge a single fact, instead they argue that the behavior described is simply impossible, or dogs would never do that, and all the witnesses and victims are biased against Israel and should not be listened to. Not a single honest criticism of what he has reported has been presented that contradicts the facts he laid out.

Yet those critics — who hysterically impugn his character and even in many cases suggest he should be executed — get a polite and respectful reply from the Times. (And in their reply they double down on their old Screams piece, stridently and without evidence.)

[حيدر | Haydar @chronicalihere]

Every 1 in 4 humans on this planet live under some form of American economic terrorism; whether that's sanctions, embargoes or blocakdes. From Venezuela to Cuba, from Iran to Yemen— the US punishes and murders ordinary people every day for refusing to bow down to Washington.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

We were told it’s impossible to build a new desalination plant in Gaza using different parts that we found inside the Strip. But for The Sameer Project team, there is no impossible!

Support now: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72

Around 6 weeks ago, The Sameer Project team hired contractors to work alongside our team members and constructed a desalination plant. This will provide a NEW source of fresh water in a genocide. We are hoping that production will be at 300,000 liters of drinkable water daily.

This desalination plant will run on gas and will save us money from having to purchase from other desalination plants. Costs for water distributions will drop meaning that your money will provide more water for Palestinians in Gaza.

We are in the final stages of finishing the desalination plant but we still need your material support as the cost of this ended up being $200,000. This is the last stretch, please help us finish.

Even if it’s only $5, contribute to the Rebuild Gaza Campaign now: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72

[Tamara Nassar @TamaraINassar]

I hope Blinken’s children grow up to learn that their father helped kill children who were once just as young and innocent as them. A truly vile being who does not deserve a moment of inner peace as long as he lives.

[Huthaifa | حذيفة @Shack_Rat]

Honestly, credit where it’s due, nothing I’ve said or probably will say about the AOC/MTG debate is going to top this take.

The whole episode is worth listening to, not just the section where Briahna and Sana talk about the AOC/MTG debacle. I’m already on my second listen.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Well worth the time to watch this:

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

[beecier @UdsiAsli]

Defend AOC all you want

All you're doing is demonstrating that Western racism is indefatigable; that it's the fundamental reason our people's live-streamed genocide wasn't stopped in its tracks. An important lesson.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

I can’t think of a less dignified career than left punching concern troll Israel-defender for the Atlantic. Just nonstop tedium, condescension, gate keeping, faux savvy I’m A Real Socialist posturing and lying. Arash, people have ears and eyes and can read and hear what was said
