MK Ayman Odeh, Chairman of the Hadash-Ta’al Party:
“Tomorrow, the Israeli parliament will try to impeach me.
This is a blatant, fascist, and anti-democratic move. It only proves how deeply they fear truth and justice.
But history will absolve me, and history will judge them.”

1/5 This morning, former MK of the Hadash Party, Mohammad Barakeh, has been arrested for planning a protest in Nazareth against the war. Mohammad Barakeh is the head of the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel,
🔴BREAKING:
Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.
We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.
We are trying to protect our staff and patients.
I am not in the habit of commenting, in my official capacity as a NY state legislator, on foreign affairs beyond my jurisdiction.
However, this is my joint statement with Assemblymember Emily Gallagher regarding the ongoing violence in Israel & the Palestinian territories.
Hamas's attack and the events unfolding since yesterday are unspeakable. We could talk about their cruel and criminal actions, or focus on how our Jewish-supremacist govt brought us to this point. But as former Israeli soldiers, our job is to talk about what we were sent to do
🧵
@nycDSAantiwar@nycDSA As a former OC member of NYC DSA Anti-War, I urge the WG to retract this statement. Deliberately wounding, killing, and capturing civilians is unjustifiable, morally or under intl law. We can condemn brutality against Palestinians without justifying brutality against Israelis.
Most brutal art crit sentence I've ever read: "Not long ago, it would have been embarrassing for adults to admit that they found avant-garde painting too difficult and preferred the comforts of story time."

@WetMayor I think we're forgetting how fun Bush Jr impressions are because it was so played out in the late 2000s.
I'll never get "we went to a park in Botswana" or "Osama Bin Laden understanding the joy of "Hannukah" out of my head.
