It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earth�
Indispensable read in @mdiplo on Israel's lobby in Paris. Spot-on observation about the role of @LePoint âan intellectually and morally bankrupt outlet employing lazy, incompetent journalists.

"The sniper who shot my friend Jihan's 3 year old daughter Noor, shattering her tiny legs while she was in her mother's arms in Gaza, is a hateful, racist ghoul -- I understand that's one of the things I've been criticized for saying. And I double up on it, frankly. But the rage, the disgust even hatred that Jihan or I feel toward that sniper is not racism. It is not anti-Jewishness. It is not anti semitism. Nor are her feelings toward the tank operator who blew out the back of her son Arhab's head, making her fingers sink into his brains when she tried to pick him up. Our feelings or words in response to 78 years of this barbaric, colonial violence are not 'reprehensible.' They are not antisemitic. And they are not anti Jewish. In fact, despite everything they have done to us -- despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Jews both inside & outside of Israel support this zionist carnage & domination -- we still have the tender human sense to recognize those Jews, however a minority they may be, who do not support Israel. And to embrace the far smaller minority who are anti zionist, in fact."
I've resigned from @hrw after 10+ yrsâmost as Israel/Palestine Directorâafter HRW's new ED pulled a finalized report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees on eve of its release & blocked for weeks its publication in a principled way. Full story: https://t.co/npbjjwBqf5
2 years later: Columbia University paid the student who sprayed us with chemicals $395,000. Over ten students were hospitalized by this, with students facing blindness, chemical inhalation, severe vomiting, and more. Columbia never condemned this & shoved it under the rug.
Hamas didnât launch 10/7 because they wanted to kill a bunch of Jews they did it because Gaza is a ghetto twice the size of Kings County and the country with a Star of David on the flag is who maintains that reality.
Of course supporting Hamas is antisemitic! Hamas only resists occupation and genocide because its occupiers are Jewish. If it were any other group of people, Hamas would be totally fine with it. They would probably just lay down and die
