    Trump and the Right have weaponized false claims of antisemitism to smear pro-Palestinian protesters, and they’re using this lie as a smokescreen to destroy higher ed. As Jewish academics, we call on everyone to debunk this big lie and start telling the true story. 🧵 1/12

    A student at Harvard: “The day I learned that my cousin was killed by the IDF on a raid of his refugee camp, was also the day that I found out that the truck with my name and face on it, calling me an antisemite, would be sent to my parents’ home.”

    Zionists are scared of Jonathan Glazer. He refuted their hijacking of Jewishness and the Holocaust to justify their occupation. He also pointed to how we can resist: the girl in the film who resisted by hiding food for prisoners. Solidarity—the opposite of blocking aid. 🧵1/11
    A split image. The left side is a black and white image from the film, Zone of Interest: "A young woman, rendered almost ghostlike by the camera, clandestinely moves through a construction site beneath a railway that runs into the camp. She places apples in the earth for the starving prisoners on work duty to find the following day." The right side is a photo of Israeli protesters blocking an aid convoy headed for Gaza, with one protester holding an Israeli flag and another holding a sign that says "no aid for the enemy."

    Everyone who has seen the film, Zone of Interest, thinks of Gaza.
    Image: Scene from the film, Zone of Interest, in which the commandant's wife, Hedwig, wears clothing (a fur coat) stolen from the Auschwitz camp's prisoners, while standing in a bedroom.
    Photo: an Israeli Defense Force soldier, laughing, wears lingerie stolen from Palestinian people in Gaza, while another Israeli Defense soldier pretends to fondle his breasts. Both are wearing green military fatigues.
    Text: "One of the film’s most memorable scenes comes when a package filled with clothing and lingerie stolen from the camp’s prisoners arrives at the Höss home. The commandant’s wife, Hedwig (played almost too convincingly by Sandra Hüller), decrees that everyone, including the servants, can choose one item. She keeps a fur coat for herself, even trying on the lipstick she finds in a pocket.

Everyone I know who has seen the film can think of little but Gaza
It is the intimacy of the entanglements with the dead that are so chilling. And I have no idea how anyone can watch that scene and not think of the Israeli soldiers who have filmed themselves rifling through the lingerie of Palestinians whose homes they are occupying in Gaza, or boasting of stealing shoes and jewelry for their fiances and girlfriends, or taking group selfies with Gaza’s rubble as the backdrop. (One such photo went viral after the writer Benjamin Kunkel added the caption “The Zone of Pinterest”.)"

    When the Höss family steals clothing and lingerie from the camp's prisoners: "I have no idea how anyone can watch that scene and not think of the Israeli soldiers who have filmed themselves rifling through the lingerie of Palestinians whose homes they are occupying in Gaza.." 4/7

    The kids are rising up—defying Zionist bullies and refusing Israel's genocide in Gaza! Their teacher was attacked by Zionists for having a Palestinian flag in her class. After the admin made her remove it, her students walked out and recreated the flag on her board. 🧵1/6
    Photo: a group of students protest outside of a school, holding signs that say "teachers for a free palestine," "free free palestine," "intifada intifada," and "Is this scary DPS?"
    Photo: a Palestinian flag drawn with dry erase markers on white board in red, black, white, and green, with books beneath.

    Powerful words from Aaron Bushnell’s will: “If a time comes when Palestinians regain control of their land, and if the people native to the land would be open to the possibility, I would love for my ashes to be scattered in a free Palestine.” 1/2 crimethinc.com/2024/02/29/mem…
    Text: “ From Aaron’s will:

“I am sorry to my brother and my friends for leaving you like this. Of course, if I was truly sorry, I wouldn’t be doing it. But the machine demands blood. None of this is fair.”
“I wish for my remains to be cremated. I do not wish for my ashes to be scattered or my remains to be buried as my body does not belong anywhere in this world. If a time comes when Palestinians regain control of their land, and if the people native to the land would be open to the possibility, I would love for my ashes to be scattered in a free Palestine.””

    In late capitalism, even the waves give you cancer. We’re fucked. For humanity to survive, capitalism must die.

    Supervisor fires a worker. HR tells him to finish his shift. Supervisor sees him still working and calls the cops. Cops come and kill the worker. His co-workers are told to keep working. Co-worker who films the scene is fired. CAPITALISM IS A DEATH CULT theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…

    Edward Said’s words from 35 years ago sound like they were written today: “I cannot understand how raw, naked evidence can be overridden by American intellectuals just because the ‘security’ of Israel demands it.” theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…
    Text above a photo of Edward Said: “But what if the reason for Said’s seemingly timeless appeal has less to do with his own talents and moral courage and more to do with the persistent denial of the Palestinian quest for freedom? What Said wrote 35 years ago can sound like it was written yesterday, such as this excerpt from An Open Letter to American-Jewish Intellectuals, composed in 1989: “I cannot understand how raw, naked evidence can be overridden by American intellectuals just because the ‘security’ of Israel demands it,” Said wrote.”
    Text: ““But it is overridden or hidden no matter how overpoweringly cruel, no matter how inhuman and barbaric, no matter how loudly Israel proclaims what it is doing. To bomb a hospital; to use napalm against civilians; to require Palestinian men and boys to crawl, or bark, or scream ‘Arafat is a whore’s son’; to break the arms and legs of children; to confine people in desert detention camps without adequate space, sanitation, water or legal charge; to use teargas in schools: All these are horrific acts, whether they are part of a war against ‘terrorism’ or the requirements of security. Not to note them, not to remember them, not to say, ‘Wait a moment: Can such acts be necessary for the sake of the Jewish people?’ is inexplicable, but it is also to be complicit in these acts. The self-imposed silence of intellectuals who possess, in other cases and for other countries, supremely fine critical faculties is stunning.””

    Jewish Life at Duke University presents their "Antisemitism 101 Training" as impartial. But from attending the training, I found it to be Zionist indoctrination. So I wrote this op-ed. 🧵 1/15 dukechronicle.com/article/2024/0…
    Screenshot: "The Chronicle - Unmasking indoctrination: The Zionist agenda behind Duke's “Antisemitism 101 Training”
guest column - The training failed to acknowledge the rich history of anti-Zionist, diasporic Jewish movements that have presented alternative visions for Jewish safety.

    "I want to emphasize the irony of having a college that supposedly cares about journalism saying that, if their own journalists leave the [Pulitzer] building, they will be arrested." - @WKCRFM, who should win the Pulitzer for their coverage of the student protests and repression
