@RossBarkan Maybe it’s simply because of…..geography? Why would I schlep to Yankee stadium if I live in Ridgewood? And the Mets are a Queens team? And every bar around me is a Mets bar?
@briebriejoy People seem to not get we are talking about what’s in majority of Americans cupboards. Each culture has their spices and yes America is a country of immigrants but that doesn’t mean Asian people cook w sumac, and vice versa for Middle Easterners cooking w fish sauce
Deni Avdija says he’s fed up with the hate he receives for being from Israel, calls out the lack of education on the topic, and demands respect, saying those outside the Middle East shouldn’t speak on it
“You don’t have to love what I stand for or how I look, but if I’m a good player, give props. All this hate … for no reason. Like, I’m deciding things in the world. I’ll be honest: What do people expect me to do? This is my country, where I was born, where I grew up. I love my country; there are a lot of great things about my country. But obviously, not everyone is educated and knows what is going on, and that’s what pisses me off. Because if you are educated and know what is going on, it’s fine to say what you think and say who you think is right or wrong. But if you are not educated and you are not part of the Middle East, and you don’t understand how long this goes back and understand the consequences and everything … just don’t say anything.”

Mamdani would have never won without the sacrifices of the people of Gaza.
If he doesn’t pay them back and stands firm in the face of lobbying, it will be outright treachery.
The Global Sumud Flotilla is set to arrive in Gaza in the next 24 hours. 50 boats from across the world, bringing aid and food to the people of Gaza.
We are calling for their safe passage, an end to the blockade, and unrestricted humanitarian aid to all those suffering now! The entire world is watching.
Nothing can justify the number of civilian casualties (tens of thousands of women and children) inflicted by Israel in Gaza in the last two years. We should end all U.S. military aid to Israel now.
BREAKING: 50+ COLUMBIA STUDENTS FLOOD ADMIN OFFICE OF BARNARD COLLEGE DEMANDING

3. A public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and President Laura Rosenbury.
4. Abolition of the corrupt Barnard disciplinary process and complete transparency for current, past, and future disciplinary proceedings.
DISRUPTION UNTIL DIVESTMENT, RESISTANCE UNTIL RETURN, AGITATION UNTIL AMNESTY.
WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET. FREE PALESTINE.
During the Super Bowl halftime show, a protester stormed the field waving a Palestinian and Sudanese flag, demanding the world’s attention on genocide and oppression. He was later tackled by security.
🚨Breaking: In his final moments, journalist Fadi Al-Wahidi was documenting the brutal massacres committed by the Israeli army in northern #Gaza, before being critically injured by an Israeli sniper with a shot to the neck.
