Cutting military aid to Israel and blocking weapons is a key tangible step the U.S. could take to bring about systemic change.

“This is friction that is Jewish terrorism. More than 30 Palestinians were murdered. The settlers are “done with [displacing] the shepherds' communities, so now we move to the villages? To dispossess them of their land?”
Philip Weiss retweeted
“Now it's not in a vacuum. There is a policy here, including that of government ministers, who also give these people in all kinds of places the tools, rangers [ATVs], and others, in order to dispossess more than 100 shepherding communities in Judea and Samaria.”

Palestine is not just a moral issue but it is increasingly a measuring stick for how out of touch with your voters you are. Hard to think of any issue, among any party, at any time in history, where there was a bigger gap between the party establishment and their voters.
That showed again tonight.

"Unlike you, I was out in the field. I gave an order to shoot a terrorist, with hands cuffed behind his back, in the head."
Yesterday at the Knesset, Mickey Levy, a member of so-called "centrist" party Yesh Atid, tried to outflank Jewish Power members from the right, by describing how he ordered the cold-blooded murder of a handcuffed Palestinian, while serving as the Jerusalem District Commander of the Israeli Police during the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
This event happened in 2002. Despite being a confessed murdered, Levy continued his career, became the Israeli Police attaché in the US, and later a Member of Knesset, Chairman of the State Audit Committee, Speaker of the Knesset, and Deputy Minister of Finance.
Before serving as the Jerusalem District Police Commander, Levy also served as commander of the Judea and Samaria District.
In the same year he ordered the murder of a handcuffed Palestinian, Levy received the "Knight for Quality Government" award from the Movement for Quality Government in Israel and the Channel 2 "Person of the Year" award.

Reminder that after Oct 7, J Street threatened to pull support for anyone calling for a ceasefire. This is their function: limited hangout in nominal opposition to perceived AIPAC crazies. They discipline the left flank & contain criticism of Israel to “two state solution” pablum

Joseph Kent, a top counterterrorism official under Trump, just resigned.
Kent and I don't agree on much, but he is right:
"Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

AIPAC should be required to register as an agent of a foreign government under FARA, because even U.S. citizens are meant to be subject to FARA. AIPAC and closely associated entities have spent over $6 million to influence my election.

The tired, relentless attempt to equate opposition to the Israeli government with antisemitism isn't just wrong and offensive, it's a badly failing political strategy that has hurt the fight against a very real threat to Jewish people.
No one buys this shit beyond the most hardcore supporters of the Israeli government.
New from me: Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, called out two Democratic lawmakers, Chris Van Hollen & Ro Khanna, from the main stage of the organization’s Never is Now conference in Manhattan, accusing them of perpetuating antisemitism.Â

Let’s talk reality. A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out. That’s apartheid.
Gov. @JoshShapiroPA on Gov. @GavinNewsom referring to “apartheid” in 🇮🇱: “We have to use words rooted in reality.”
(int’l human rights orgs have called it apartheid — including B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty Int’l, UN…)

This is why legacy publications go out of business.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues: theatlantic.com/internationa…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Netanyahu, by his own admission, has been trying to pull the US into war with Iran for decades

And just like that we are no longer a nation divided by left and right, we are now a nation divided be those who want to fight wars for Israel and those who just want peace and to be able to afford their bills and health insurance.

We met in East Jerusalem with Stav Salpeter, Director of Intl Relations with Gisha. She briefed us on the dire conditions in Gaza. Flooding, lack of food, lack of medical care and violence persist, even despite the “ceasefire”. The world cannot look away.

I visited the Ofer Military Court to witness the conditions and speak with families waiting in prison-like conditions to see their loved ones on a television screen just to wave hello via zoom.

After visiting the West Bank and calling its conditions “apartheid,” NY-17 Democratic candidate @effie4congress says party leaders are attempting to sideline her.

There's only one reason the IDF accepts this figure: they know the real number is much, much higher.
Palestinians tried to tell the world. Shame on all those who discredited them.
By hiding the genocide, you fuelled the genocide.

Meanwhile, international journalists and organizations who could help determine the total death toll and damage still don't have access to Gaza.

The entire US corporate media undercut these numbers by applying the Israeli-imposed label, “Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry”
Now we know they’re an undercount

For two years, assholes on this website screamed that the Gaza Health Ministry numbers were made up or inflated or somehow not real. Now the IDF accepts their accuracy. The real death toll is probably much larger but the truth is still buried under the rubble.
