@DrJavadTHashmi@PhDniX As a person who would be directly impacted by @HATzortzis 's "hadd for riddah," I have no reservations in calling him a sick fuck for promoting my murder. It doesn't seem excessive to me at all. I don't care whose orthodoxy it is or what fan base he's pandering to.
LIVE: Even democratically-elected officials can commit war crimes. We cannot apply international law only when it’s convenient. https://t.co/0arq3ensqH
@DrJavadTHashmi I'm a huge fan of @BartEhrman (Go Tar Heels!) and have benefitted greatly from his work for years now. I've long wished that similar scholarship could be made widely accessible re: the Quran.
I'm persuaded to register for this course. Will it be interactive in some way?
“If there were a Palestinian genocidal assault on Jews and Jewish babies were being killed at the level and intensity that Palestinian babies are being killed… the US government would support the Jewish version of Hamas”
Americans are not blind. They see the bombing in Gaza, the starving children.
Congress pretends we are powerless to stop it.
But, the fact is, if we had the courage to stand up to some powerful special interests and use our leverage, we could stop the destruction NOW.
I welcome President Biden’s decision to establish an emergency port on the Gaza coast to get large amounts of humanitarian aid delivered directly to the people of Gaza.
But LET'S BE CLEAR about why this extraordinary step is necessary in the first place:
No one in Congress should vote to send $10 billion in military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine when they are responsible for an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.
Does Congress really want to provide military aid to Netanyahu so that he can annihilate more innocent people?
Do we want to give even more support to the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, to a man who wants to kill the prospects of a two-state solution?
One of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history, and Congress wants to send BILLIONS more to fund Netanyahu’s war machine. As long as this bill contains money to continue this cruel war, I will do everything I can to oppose it. I urge my colleagues to do the same.
LIVE: Congress is about to send $14 billion in military aid to Netanyahu’s right-wing government, as he starves thousands of Palestinian children and is threatening a ground invasion of Rafah. This is UNACCEPTABLE. https://t.co/H823JCjXrn
The U.S. must end its complicity in the nightmare unfolding in Gaza.
That is why I will be offering an amendment to the supplemental bill to ensure zero funding for the continuation of Netanyahu’s illegal, immoral war against the Palestinian people.
Netanyahu’s right-wing government is starving the Palestinian people.
On top of its indiscriminate bombardment, Israel is imposing onerous restrictions to block the delivery of essential humanitarian aid.
The U.S. must use all of its leverage to end this horrific war.
Netanyahu has made his position clear: He will never allow a Palestinian state, ever. He will continue his devastating war against innocent Palestinians, and block the supplies needed to prevent mass starvation and sickness. Now, we must make our position clear.
