The FP’s @Coldxman: The charge that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is “absurd.”
“We know that Israel could easily kill 50% or 80% of Gazans in less than 100 days if they wanted to—but they don’t. And that’s really all you need to know.”
We have to have the difficult conversation with friends saying they'll rank Mamdani on their list. We can engage by asking questions, and by being open about our concerns and just how profound they are. And we have to encourage those already convinced he shouldn't be our mayor -- to get to the polls and cast their vote. I hope this video helps. #DontRankMamdani
“251 hostages from 39 nationalities were stolen from their lives and from the world on Oct. 7. Why did the Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Foreign Ministers of those nations never stand, arm in arm, on a global stage and demand their release?” https://t.co/HgAegesg37
These are the people you are defending. The ones who maim and rape, who hijack humanitarian aid meant for their own people, who condemn lgbtq people to death and women to virtual slavery. You, on campuses and on social media, the advance propaganda guard of evil.
🧵 1/ Naama Levy. is a symbol of what has happened to many Israelis after October 7 and will never be the same.
Naama, was a peace activist before she went to the IDF as an observer- a non combatant unarmed position.
Today, another video from her kidnapping was published >
Jonathan Glazer made a movie about a man who builds his own professional success on his ability to ignore the suffering of the Jews around him.
The man is immune to irony.
Dr. Ben Harouni, an Iranian-Jewish dentist, was murdered in his San Diego office on Thursday.
His brother Jake Harouni pays tribute to his memory in this post.
FYI, Jake's reference to people doubting this was a hate crime is due to the fact that police are claiming this wasn't a racially or ethnically motivated attack, that it was just a disgruntled former patient.
But now there’s a push to have Ben’s murder investigated as a hate crime: https://t.co/MLw6xMhm2K
There is a magic formula for peace in the Middle East: “We accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state, will never seek to destroy it, and wish to live in peace with our Israeli neighbors.”Worked for Egypt. Worked for Jordan. That’s all it takes.
Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims.
Most of the world is pressuring Israel to do what Hamas wants (i.e. ceasefire)
But far fewer people are pressuring Hamas to do what Israel wants (i.e. release hostages and surrender unconditionally).
Why the double standard?
The President of @Harvard cannot answer the basic question:
“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules regarding bullying and harassment?”
She literally cannot just say YES. The only acceptable answer is YES.
Harvard President Claudine Gay refused to answer my question about whether @Harvard received $1.5 BILLION in funding from foreign entities and governments for its Middle East Studies Department.
This is unacceptable. The American people have a right to know how foreign governments are influencing our colleges and universities. In fact, it is required by law.
