I was part of the amazing team that lobbied members of Congress @SenMarkey @ChrisVanHollen @RepDean and @RepMcGovern to write this letter calling for allowing Gazan cancer patients to receive treatment abroad. So proud that we got this done. But now it’s time to allow the 11,000

Why the fuck is a university withholding a diploma for criticizing a foreign country?

“I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide.” NYU student Logan Rozos denounced Israel’s genocide in Gaza during his graduation speech to roaring applause. In retaliation, NYU has withheld his diploma and is threatening further disciplinary action.

Wait. So you are telling me Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister and most decorated IDF soldier ever, raped and beat a fifteen-year-old girl? Shouldn't this be a somewhat bigger story?

A new video shows the Israeli army using advanced missiles in eastern Gaza, with explosions resembling miniature nuclear bombs that obliterate what remains of the city.

Yes. Zionism is a cult, and I am leaving it. Bye.

Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong. A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression, just like in traditional authoritarian regimes. B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for

Zionism reached its final and dumbest stage: the IDF is Hamas.

For the third consecutive day, Israeli settlers are attacking the Israeli army, shouting at soldiers and calling them “Khamas! Khamas!” The clashes took place tonight at Za’tara Square, on the Ramallah–Nablus road in the West Bank.

The pieces of shit who say there is no starvation in Gaza will rot in hell for their part in excusing this.

So let me get this straight. You don’t want Palestinians to live in Palestine and you don’t want them to go anywhere else? I guess you just want them all dead, huh.

I grew up in Israel. I was educated there. Served it. Studied it. Taught about it. No one knows it better than I do. And there is no doubt. It was built on racism and the destruction of the Palestinian people.

They are putting the survivors of the genocide into smaller and smaller spaces, with no food, clean water or medical care. But don’t compare it to concentration camps or you might hurt someone’s feelings.

Two million people live in that green area—and now they’re being bombed nonstop, relentlessly, with nowhere safe to run.

Jews need to get over the lie that the Holocaust special and we are unique victims for experiencing it. It was a horrific genocide. All genocides are horrific, including the one in Gaza. We don’t have a monopoly on victimhood and we don’t have any excuses for perpetrating our own

Almost beyond parody: The LA Holocaust Museum was forced, due to public outrage, to delete and apologize for posting the below Instagram post declaring "'Never again'" can't only mean never again for Jews."

Jewish friend here. We are fine. We sit in our houses, with our family, eating every meal and in many cases whining endlessly about minor cases of antisemitism. We are privileged and happy: you know who isn’t ok? The people of Gaza who are burying their family, lost their homes

Hey. Planet Earth. I am not ok. Your Jewish friends, relatives, neighbours, co-workers and acquaintances. We are not ok. 80 years ago, 35% of our race was exterminated. Ethnically cleansed. That would be the equivalent of a genocide today that took 116M American
