Alongside @weizman_eyal, I won't participate in the #HayFestival because of @Airbnb being their main sponsor. Profiting from illegal settlements, advertising properties built on stolen land makes Airbnb not ''just a sponsor''.

We must stop normalising Apartheid with a click!

Breaking: Students at Leipzig University voted in favour of an academic boycott against Israel in a student led assembly.

Actual historic moment as it is the very first German university to do so.

When patients ask, “What disorder do I really ‘have’?” the honest answer is usually more interesting and messier than a single label. I wrote for the @nytimes on what I wish people understood about diagnoses and the nature of mental health problems.

At a conference in Ireland in support of the Palestinian-led BDS movement, author Sally Rooney spoke out against the complicity of the EU and the Irish government in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza — and urged people of conscience to take strategic, moral and collective action.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Stop Trading with Apartheid.
Stop Normalising Genocide.

BREAKING— two Palestinians, including a child, killed and several other children injured in an ongoing Israeli attack on a school in the village of Mughayer northeast of Ramallah.

This is second attack of its kind in the last 24 hours, and comes after a convoy for an Israeli minister ran over and killed a child in Hebron, south of the West Bank.

Israelis are carrying out intensified and increasingly violent attacks in the West Bank with the purpose of dispossessing Palestinians from their homes and lands.

Bad Jews #2, "Jewish Studies", in which @caitlin_clr and I discussed our experiences at our local Jewish Zionist School, Herzlia, focusing especially on the highly curated experience our education offered us on Israel and Zionism.

Not sure if anyone still follows me for Dota reasons but if you do you should read Ben's cool article on Decomposing Drafts with data analysis, appreciate the work he's doing, and offer some feedback on what he might do even better!

@Noxville Aight but can you give the analysis on why you switched from Medium to Substack?

Only one problem: It's not true. Perhaps an opportune moment to test your wisdom on yourself! Now that it's clear that Israel had everything to do with killing those children, will you resume your silence, or condemn the perprators as deserved?

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

This viral claim that Iran “confessed the IRGC mistakenly bombed a school” comes from a screenshot of a Telegram channel tied to anti-regime monarchists aligned with Reza Pahlavi. Amplified by Netanyahu stenographer @AmitSegal and racked up 1.2M views.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Let it sink in: mere hours after breakthroughs were achieved in negotiations with Iran, the US and Israel invaded, assassinated their head of state and civilian leaders, and bombed a school massacring more than a hundred girls. Pure barbarism. They spit in the face of humanity.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Not content with his two-plus years of complicity in genocide in Palestine, and his crushing of dissent in the UK, Starmer announces his participation in the crime of aggression against Iran, and even condemns Iranian self-defense, a right codified in the UN Charter. What are we to make of someone who claims to be an international lawyer, and yet repeatedly and publicly proclaims his own international crimes? Is this man a bloodthirsty ghoul, bought and paid for, or running from Epstein kompromat? I genuinely wish to know.

[Tony Karon @TonyKaron]

Exactly - news organizations that carry the "preemptive" spin in their headlines are doing Hasbara whether they know it or not. Preemption implies that Israel faced an imminent threat, which is obviously a lie

[Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla @VarshaGandikota]

The leaders of the "Board of Peace" have just bombed a sovereign country while pretending to be in diplomatic negotiations. US and Israel are the greatest threat to humanity.

[A Man in the Sun 🌞 @AManInTheSun]

Every media outlet falling in line and calling an unprovoked sneak attack a "preemptive strike".

@Howardsackstein Which adjectives would you prefer for me, a Jewish author of the above piece? More than happy to meet for coffee to chat.

p.s. still waiting for you to respond to my August 2024 email regarding right of reply when you published an accusation of myself & others as antisemitic

[Anthony Fish Hodgson @scantzor]

Who gets to call what antisemitic is often a function of the politics of power. @caitlin_clr and I unpacked some of the mechanisms Israel lobbyists have developed to make it easier to supress Palestine advocacy supposedly on the basis of antisemitism.
