‘Meir doesn’t provide a model of universalist solidarity, but belongs in the pantheon of women politicians that includes Suella Braverman, Giorgia Meloni and the Religious Zionist MP Orit Strook.’

With this summer marking 40 years since the 1982 Lebanon War, my essay for @972mag on a documentary film about a war crime during the Israeli invasion, exploring the changing face of violence, impunity, and moral decay in Israel from 1948 until today: https://t.co/RtNN6Jwasy

With great sorrow we announce that our former Head of Department (2002-2012) and world-renowned scholar, Professor Ada Rapaport-Albert, passed away after a long illness. We offer our condolences to her children, family, and friends. May her memory be a blessing.

THREAD: As a former @nytimes Op-Ed editor I am reluctant to weigh in on my alma mater. But the decision to publish @SenTomCotton calling for troop deployments to quell unrest falls short of sound journalistic practice.

Hypothesis: it was reports from Italy that finally hit home what was about to happen here. We suddenly had clear-sighted view: lonely deaths. Exhausted nurses. Dead doctors. But now that it *is* happening here. We can’t see it. Because we’re still surrounded by normality..

[Seth Anziska @SethAnziska]

@YairWallach on the impact of the Joint List: "The refusal to strike an alliance with Palestinian citizens remains the primary reason for the failure of the centre-left parties to reach power...The racist logic of a "Jewish majority” still forms the basis of mainstream politics."

My key points on BBC News today: most displaced people remain within their countries of origin (+1million people internally displaced in Syria since Dec alone), only small proportion of these will cross heavily militarised border to Turkey, & even smaller proportion to Europe 1/3

"The powerful, angry energy on the streets and at the protest sites is the most transformative, wildly optimistic thing I have ever experienced in my life," writes @warghetti, about the protests in Lebanon https://t.co/bYQDtmmt2h

A superb review essay of Tom Segev's newly translated biography of David Ben Gurion by @adamshatz in the @LRB: "He knew that the national salvation he promised his people spelled national destruction for another."

An open letter to @KenRoth re lack of access to @hrw archives @columbialib.

Background: There are basically 2 models for what to do with papers deposited with an archive. I'll call the 1st the @amnesty model. @amnestyusa's papers at @columbia; @amnesty IS's are @IISG_Amsterdam.

An incisive review essay of recent books on the United States, Israel, and the Palestinian question, examining liberal contradictions that have long animated these relationships and the breakdown of that consensus today:

[Public Books @PublicBooks]

In PREVENTING PALESTINE: A POLITICAL HISTORY FROM CAMP DAVID TO OSLO (@PrincetonUPress), @SethAnziska shows how “liberal America’s long-awaited acknowledgment of Palestinian national rights ultimately undermined those very rights.” https://t.co/xJtTZHSSbR

In awe of @AdyBarkan and the conversations he has changed. He has made meaning in words and deeds beyond measure.

[Nightline @Nightline]

ADY BARKAN: @AdyBarkan can no longer walk and talk as a result of the disease, but he has become one of the loudest voices for Medicare for All. “I… just want my life and death to have meant something,” he said. @JujuChangABC reports. https://t.co/heM5sRrVw7

[Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP @TanDhesi]

If you have ever experienced racism or discrimination, you can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by Muslim women, who were singled out by this divisive Prime Minister. It’s high time he apologised for his derogatory and racist remarks! 1/2
