שמע ישראל:

To all my Jewish family who oppose the ethnonationalist settler-colonial project of Zionism, please prepare yourselves. We are going to have to build and maintain capacity to absorb anger, even violence, from many directions as we work towards peace. This is our lot.

@Mark__Mazur @TorahJews hey now! I'm Jewish and I find that to be humorous.

@DanielBMate I don't know about that...

For the past 10 hours I've been in an Israeli police station, arrested and interrogated FOR BEING ATTACKED BY A SETTLER in Masafer Yatta

In the past hour I've been told that i'm detained, then arrested, then not arrested, then free to go, then not free to go

I am still at the police station, I have no idea what's going on, and I feel like today's script was written by Franz Kafka

The loneliness economy is capitalism discovering profit in the damage it helped produce. Atomise people. Exhaust them. Price them out of community. The wound becomes the market.

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die

Nope! I always say there is no such thing as self-made. It’s a myth.

It took millions of people - from my parents to mentors to friends to competitors to fans and voters - to write my success story. I did not write it alone.

That’s the American Dream - not a lie about going it alone - but the truth that none of us do, and there is always someone with their hand out to lift us up.

Ariel Schwartz wrote this for 17 if Tamuz (AI translation):

***

Today is the Seventeenth of Tammuz—the day on which the Tablets were shattered, the walls of Jerusalem were breached, an idol was placed in the Temple, and the Torah was burned. On this day, I think about all the times I have seen the Torah burn over the past year.
In truth, what I have actually seen are burned homes, torched cars, scorched fields, and people driven from their communities. But within me, it is the Torah that I have felt burning.

With every expulsion of a community, every child's cry, every act of intimidation, beating, threat, land seizure, arson, shoot-to-kill incident, arrest with a blindfold over the eyes, pogrom, fire, "price tag" attack, home demolition, theft of flocks, and confiscation of land—we are burning our own Torah with our own hands. In the sanctuaries of the descendants of our father Abraham, we have erected an idol in the Temple. We have come to worship the idolatry of power, violence, and arrogance instead of the values that define Abraham's descendants: modesty, compassion, and loving-kindness.

The fires consuming this land feed one another. As our neighbors' homes go up in flames, so too does our Torah. The scrolls themselves remain intact, but the letters are burning and drifting away. I cannot escape the Torah's demand to pursue justice and peace, nor the image of young men who paused their participation in a pogrom in order to organize a minyan for the afternoon prayer, while the village around them burned.

At moments like these, when the tzitzit, the kippah, or the payot become symbols of violence and cruelty, I remember the words of Rabbi Amital of blessed memory. Written twenty-six years ago, they foresaw with striking clarity what is unfolding today:

"Religious Zionist Judaism, almost in its entirety, embraced the vision of a Greater Land of Israel. You know that I was never part of that. I did not believe that, either by force of arms or by force of religious commandment, we could rule over three million Arabs while denying them equal rights. I was among the few. I saw so much written about the Greater Land of Israel, but one must understand—there is a price. I did not find a single essay that grappled with the question of how we would avoid descending into the kind of cruelty Russia displayed in Chechnya. Fine, Greater Israel—but how do we confront the danger of becoming cruel?" (Le'olam Yehei Adam, Kemet).

Today, cruelty is no longer a danger to be feared; it is an established reality. And every day, the number of children, women, and men who suffer under its force continues to grow.

So today, as I fast and prepare to report for reserve military service, I think about the walls of Jerusalem, which were twice consumed by fire because of zealots and extremists. And I think about the fact that if this home is to endure, we must cry out—in our public squares, in our synagogues, and in our houses of study—with the cry of the Torah and the cry of humanity, bound together and rising together in the flames.

"Again I looked and saw all the oppression that is done under the sun. Behold the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. Power was on the side of their oppressors, and they had no one to comfort them." (Ecclesiastes 4:1)

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

If the new Zionist line is that Israel is not a Jewish state, then stop saying that being against Israel is antisemitic. You can’t have it both ways. I agree. Israel does not represent Judaism and Jews should fight against it.

Pretty revealing that what galvanized “centrist” Dems was losing to a couple DSA candidates not for example, losing to a bunch of corrupt fascists who want to end Democracy.

I have been reading the new UN report about how Israel has been targeting children in Gaza. There are no words to describe how awful it is. Here are some of the worst examples:

1) Hind Rajab and family, Tel al-Hawa, Gaza City, 29 Jan 2024. Named. A family of seven plus two paramedics killed. Hind Rajab, 5 to 6, stayed on the phone with rescuers for hours, trapped in a car among her dead relatives. Her cousin Layan Hamadeh, 15, was killed mid-call. The rescue ambulance, dispatched with COGAT clearance, was shelled.

2) The 15-year-old with the white flag, Khan Younis, 24 Jan 2024. Anonymous. Shot in the foot during an ordered evacuation while holding a white cloth, then shot twice more in the back and neck as he tried to rise. His 20-year-old brother killed running to him; their mother shot signaling for an ambulance. Assessed as DAN .338 sniper fire from about 200m.

3) The 10-day-old baby, Nuseirat camp, 12 Apr 2024. Anonymous. Shot in the head by a quadcopter-mounted rifle while being breastfed inside a tent. Survived with brain damage and seizures.

4) The 14-year-old killed with fragmenting pellets, Aug 2024. Anonymous. Cube-shaped pellets that fragmented internally like cluster munitions, destroying multiple organs. The report flags the munition itself as a possible war crime.

5) Jadallah "Jad" Jadallah, Al-Far'a camp, Tubas, 16 Nov 2025. Named. Jadallah Jihad Jouma Jadallah, 14, shot at close range and left bleeding for roughly 45 minutes while about 14 soldiers stood around him. One kicked his cap back when he threw it for attention, one filmed him, one placed a stone beside him to stage a stone-throwing pretext. Soldiers fired at his approaching mother and blocked two ambulances. Body withheld.

6) Layla al-Khatib, Muthallath al-Shuhada, 25 Jan 2025. Named. Layla (Laila) Muhammad Ayman al-Khatib, 2, shot in the back of the head during dinner at home, four bullets fired through the living room window. Youngest West Bank child killed in the reporting period. B'Tselem found the only man in the building was her grandfather, contradicting the "wanted terrorist" claim.

7) Saddam Rajab, Tulkarem, shot 28 Jan 2025, died 7 Feb 2025. Named. Saddam (Sadam) Rajab, 10, shot during an incursion. A soldier told the father, "I am the one who shot your son. God willing, he will die." Medical care obstructed; the boy died of his wounds days later.

8) Walid Ahmad, Megiddo Prison, died 22 Mar 2025. Named. Walid Khalid Abdullah Ahmad, 17, from Silwad. Healthy at arrest in Sept 2024; dead six months later of starvation, muscle wasting, untreated colitis and scabies. First Palestinian minor to die in Israeli custody since Oct 2023. Family learned of his death from a news article; body withheld.

9) The Sde Teiman 15-year-old, detention. Anonymous. Held among 70 adults, shackled until his hands bled, dogs released on prone detainees; described as "the worst days of my life." A separate 15-year-old reported being electrocuted via a needle in his shoulder over 54 days.

10) The four newborns at Al-Nasr Pediatric Hospital, Nov 2023. Anonymous. Found decomposing, still attached to defunct life-support machines, after staff were forced to evacuate without being able to move them. Independently verified by the Commission, Washington Post, and CNN.

11) Newborn hypothermia deaths, Dec 2024 to Feb 2025. Anonymous. At least 15 newborns, including a one-day-old girl, died of cold linked to lack of shelter, fuel, and incubators. UNICEF called the deaths preventable.

12) Sexual violence in detention. Anonymous. Forced public stripping and filming of boys during mass arrests; two cousins aged 7 and 13 stripped at gunpoint in Jenin; new reports of boys raped in custody, one on multiple occasions.

The Commission documents at least 20,179 Palestinian children killed and 44,143 wounded in two years, 30 percent of all the dead in Gaza, alongside 213 more killed in the West Bank. Thirteen times the Commission asked Israel to respond, and thirteen times it heard nothing back. Israel doesn't care enough to even respond. It kills children as a matter of policy.

@Passportjl @ProudSocialist @Wundervah oh really by what metric

[Jaurls Marxley @jaurls]

Why on earth would you swap AIPAC for Jews?

Those are not synonyms. AIPAC does not represent world Jewry, not even American Jews. It is merely an election interference project by imperial interests with stakes in the Zionist state called Israel.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

“Monsters.” “Dark money.” A hidden hand “turning us against one another.”

Swap “AIPAC” for “Jews” and it’s the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theory in the books. That’s not criticizing a lobby. That’s laundering antisemitism from your podium as Mayor of a city with more than a million Jews. This bullshit is dangerous.

If you want to talk about real monsters let’s start with the North Koreans, Russians, Sudanese, the Iranian regime, and their proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, PIJ — and other terrorist groups who’ve killed scores of Americans.
