JFC it can’t be “Jewish” AND democratic! People like Landers are so dangerous and I have no idea why he’s welcomed into the left. He’s literally campaigned for an ethno-supremacist state in occupied Palestine. while saying nothing of NY (lol?)
I talked with @DanaBashCNN today about what a Jewish and democratic Israel — consistent with its own Declaration of Independence, and something I long to see — would actually look like. A few key points:
1. Israel can't be a genuine democracy while it's occupying the West Bank & Gaza and denying civil & political rights to Palestinians there, fully half the people under its rule.
2. Like B’Tselem, Omer Bartov, and the Lemkin Institute, I think — with deep sadness — that Israel's conduct in Gaza meets the definition of genocide. But even if you don’t, it’s profoundly inconsistent with the Jewish value that every one of those Palestinian kids were created in the image of God, just like ours.
3. The freedom, safety & thriving of both Israelis and Palestinians is deeply intertwined. Israelis will not be safe until Palestinians are free. We need a U.S. foreign policy aimed firmly at making this real.
Shabbat Shalom to everyone, and especially to everyone who refuses to compromise on anyone else’s humanity.
i love how angel wings are depicted in Islamic manuscripts, they’re colorful and almost delicate like a sparrow’s
here you can see Israfil with four multi-colored wings blowing the horn of resurrection
@Harmony_Holiday yeah. seem almost like he had some meta - consciousness naming a song “2018” and bringing back the la di da di da” voice… Like he’s bringing back the whole mindset on purpose. mb. I hope. lol. Off the Hinge pops, classic Future.
They interviewed all the three witnesses separately, and they all say the same thing.
They did not ram the car; ICE agents fired at them, and then mocked Mr. Salgado as he lay there dying.
A Palestinian farmer was humiliated and stopped from tending to his land by a settler.
He was then blindfolded and dragged around the floor in front of IDF soldiers. Sickening.
coming this fall. new work by Stanya Kahn. it’s your time to shine twitter people: she’s releasing Deny, Defend, Depose: a short film made entirely of tweets in the wake of the k1lling of the UHC CEO, set to an original acid and jungle soundtrack : )
Anyone condemning Hamas in the year TWENTY fucking TWENTY SIX is either so terminally thick in the skull as to constitute an immediate threat to the survival of human life at large or so diabolically evil they make Hitler look like Mickey Mouse’s daft dog mate
