My latest for @thenation: the battle over BDS at the Park Slope Food Coop has become a microcosm of a wider dynamic. As Zionists recognize they’re losing the debate on Palestine, they now do everything they can to prevent that debate from happening at all.

Sorry, I thought Israel was facing endless existential threats and needed billions of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to defend itself? No?

Tel Aviv in fall. For some reason, clips of Jews existing work as rage bait. Why?

Ah right, so it was never about the phrase it’s just about who says it.

Who killed her? Studies show that only 2 out of 10 people read past the headlines. The use of passive voice in these cases represents a conscious decision to shield Israeli forces from accountability. Editors know exactly what they’re doing.

The death of this baby, along with thousands of others like him across Gaza, won’t be included in the official death toll from Israel’s genocide. But they are the victims because if Israel hadn’t deliberately destroyed Gaza’s healthcare system, they might still be alive.

A 3-week-old baby, born prematurely, has died of pneumonia in Gaza. His mother, Hala, hadn't named him from fear of losing him. Attacks on hospitals are robbing vulnerable newborns of the neonatal intensive care they need. This violence must stop. Ceasefire now.

These kids are throwing rocks at an armored military vehicle that invaded their home. The Israeli soldiers inside can simply drive away if they feel frustrated by kids throwing stones. But they often kill them instead. To call it “disproportionate” would be an understatement.

Ever wondered why the IDF occasionally gets frustrated with the youth in “Palestine”?

Lmfao Israel literally has nukes, dumb ass. Did David have nukes, F-35s, and the endless support of the world’s most dominant super power?

Israel is the size of New Jersey. Iran is more than twice the size of Texas. David still fights Goliath.

This hissy fit is actually very revealing because it proves that Israelis just reflexively believe all Palestinians are terrorists. Doesn’t matter that Bella Hadid was born 25 years after the 1972 Olympics, she’s responsible for what happened simply because she’s Palestinian.

Israel has controlled the Palestinian population registry since 1967. They know exactly who lives where in Gaza. Israeli forces are deliberately targeting the homes of journalists because they know exactly where they live and they are determined to silence them.

Palestine TV veteran reporter in Khan Younis was killed along with his wife, eldest son & brother and other members of his family in an Israeli airstrike on his home an hour after his last live cross at Nasser Hospital - same hospital that received them as casualties. May he RIP

When we hear about quadcopter/drone attacks, people tend to assume the killing is automated - a dystopian nightmare in its own right. But an Israeli drone operator saw a child in a wheel chair outside a hospital and opened fire. The act of pulling the trigger was a human one.

I know this is being normalized extremely quickly, but let’s take a step back, put political analysis aside, and think about how insane this is. Students across the country are being arrested by actual police for sitting on the lawns of their universities with tents and signs.

Israel has already broken the ceasefire agreement by shooting at Palestinians trying to return to their homes. Just like they did during the Nakba in 1948. In case anyone needs a reminder: preventing these people from returning to their homes is a war crime.

The BBC is reporting that Israeli forces have opened fire on Palestinians trying to return to their homes in the north of the Gaza strip
