Spent the last few years with the help of some talented people making a film about one immigrant family’s separation. Links to trailer, website, & @DOCNYCfest film fest tics below!

Genuinely getting radicalized by all this. Never much cared about Israel/Palestine discourse—but the pro-Palestine side is doing their best to convince me otherwise.

How easy is it to simply condemn targeted violence against civilians? Can there be a lower bar?

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.

A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.

Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.

But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.

So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”

I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.

But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.

I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.

900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.

And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.

Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:

Israel.

That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.

Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.

But it’s not my home.

So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.

Israeli first.
Palestinian second.

Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

This is vile. Sick. There is no defending or excusing this. It must be denounced by all decent people.

🌍 New Video: The discovery of a hole in Earth’s protective ozone layer in 1985 led to a worldwide effort to heal it. Are there lessons that can be applied to today’s treaty talks on climate change? Learn more in a new video with @sciam: https://t.co/Eutb9jOwGM

[Pax Christi NJ @PaxChristiNJ]

The heartbreak that accompanies the EDC has inspired 2 movies. One is a feature film called The Visitor. The other by @jschienberg, Collosus, is a documentary of a family torn apart by detention and deportation.

Evan Gershkovich should be watching this, willing on his team. Arsenal fans sending their message of support to one of their own, imprisoned in Russia. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan #AFC

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

The world cares about the unjust imprisonment of our colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich, perhaps more than Putin ever expected. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

“The Washington Post really came to tell my story,” Sheila Davis said to me. “Thank God. The world needs to understand what’s going on.” She showed her arms, covered in blotches she thinks came from showering with bad water. What a honor to tell her story: https://t.co/p2aEBC3i6R

1/ I've spent the last 18 months investigating how our government reached the point of taking children away from their parents as a way to discourage migration to the United States. Here's my story about how and why it happened, and who's responsible.
