@gideonrachman why do you say “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” but then “the conflict between Iran, the US and Israel”? Was Iran not attacked by the US and Israel?

@ianbremmer It’s weird how you’re so quick with your judgment here but then pull your punches on the genocide in Gaza.

[Your size @Whereyouleft]

A wild generalization.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

One clash of perspectives prevalent on the internet is that I think there's a widespread view that strident anti-Israel stances are a solid comprehensive proxy for sound values, whereas from my particular corner it is often (not always!) a proxy for hating Jews.

This is the best democrats ever offered Palestinians fighting for their very lives. Meaningless both sides Ted talks that do nothing but buy time for Israel to steal more land and kill more innocents.

[Your size @Whereyouleft]

It’s too little too late. And it’s telling that you seize on it as “important”.

[Ben Judah @b_judah]

The meaning of @RahmEmanuel's important intervention: liberal Zionism must be muscular otherwise it is neither liberalism nor working to secure Israel's long-term future.

[Your size @Whereyouleft]

No one cares; he’s well behind the curve. But what I do wonder is why your last piece reads as though you’re totally unaware of the arguments advanced by people like Peter Beinart. And I know you aren’t ignorant of those arguments.

Rahm Emanuel's 🔥🧨speech at Tel Aviv University tomorrow. "The prime minister and his government have led Israel into a dead end....Unconditional American support has allowed you to deny food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians suffering in Gaza, leaving the world to conclude that Israelis are not only willing to kill the Palestinians but are completely indifferent to their death, destruction and suffering ....You cannot indefinitely fight the world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight....Your government is complicit in the horrors now being inflicted on innocent families in the West Bank...If I have anything to say about it, every Israeli attacking Palestinian civilians or their property will be sanctioned......The tragedy is that Netanyahu's government has helped Hamas achieve its objective [to kill the 2-state solution]."

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

I spent all day in Woolwich Crown Court yesterday for the Filton activists' sentencing hearing with my colleague @daniaakkad.

The court heard that the Terrorism Act was never intended to cover direct action protest.

It heard that all of the defendants had been cleared of violent intent and sentencing them as terrorists would mark a historic first for charges of criminal damage.

It heard that the Suffragettes, who did "a bit of smashing themselves", would have been labelled as terrorists but have now been vindicated by history.

It heard the activists' goal was to stop the supply chain of drones and weaponry to Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza.

It heard that attaching a terrorism connection to a case without it ever being heard by a jury was unconstitutional and posed a threat to the criminal justice system itself.

It heard that the "terrorism connection" has been disproportionately used against minority groups and those advocating for them while not being used for neo-Nazis and white supremacists, including the man who killed Jo Cox MP.

It heard that the law has been reinterpreted since the action took place, meaning the activists could have had no idea that what they did could have been caught up in terrorism laws at the time of the protest.

It heard that the prosecution submitted key evidence just eight days before the hearing, giving the defence no time to review it or even discuss it with their clients.

Despite all of this, Judge Jeremy Johnson, who has already tried to refer the defence's lead barrister for contempt of court and been forced to apologise for it, sentenced the defendants as terrorists.

The judgment was handed down within minutes, indicating Judge Johnson had already made his mind up before the hearing had begun.

Being in court yesterday felt akin to witnessing a colonial crime: punishing activists with terrorism offences in order to set a precedent that taking direct action to stop a UK-backed genocide will not be tolerated.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.

Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.

Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."

Free Marwan.

Israel fires at a baby inside a car. NYT says Israel fired at a car. If the baby were on a beach, Israel would have fired at a beach. And so on. This is propganda for imbeciles

Shame on israel and everyone who defends and supports it.
Seven months old and a bullet in the jaw.

On 14 June the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London - selling stolen Palestinian land including in settlements in the occupied territories which are illegal.

If those in favour of a smaller state hadn’t backed a genocide we could all look forward to paying less tax. Plenty of very well paid people now cannot bring themselves to vote for Labour or the Tories. Would rather pay more tax than associate with those ghouls.

[Your size @Whereyouleft]

You—and many others on here—supported Israel as their armed forces carried out a genocide in Gaza. This now your cover? Pathetic.

First Thornberry. Now this one.

They know a reckoning is coming, and they're scrambling to save themselves. But the archives don't forget - and they don't lie.

Israel has just bombed a tent in al-Shati Camp in Gaza City.

[Your size @Whereyouleft]

Very true.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

Economist more interested in feelings of those that according to their own opinion are committing genocide than the feelings of those suffering it
