Every method of pressure needs to be put on Israel to force it to end its genocide. If "responsibility to protect" meant anything all, there would be an international force landing on the beaches of Gaza to repel Israel and defend Palestinians. counterpunch.org/2025/07/24/…

What are the turnout figures if you count the 5 million Palestinian Arabs living under Israeli tyranny and denied the right to vote?
The strength of Israeli democracy lies in its people. Yesterday, Israel recorded its highest voter turnout since 1999, with 77.7% casting their ballots. 🇮🇱🗳️

Six million Arabs were not allowed to vote in today's elections
Two million Arabs vote in today’s election in Israel. Very strange Apartheid.

What you call the “Jewish center” were parties (Bennett, Liberman) every analyst considered as far-right a few years ago.
If Israel's current exit polls hold, the parties representing the Jewish center will have to make a choice: partner with Arab parties or else keep Bibi in power. A pretty clear metaphor for the choice facing Israel more broadly.

🚨 SUDAN: At around 8 pm local time yesterday, a drone strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces hit a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. A second strike also hit a civilian neighbourhood. The Nyala Teaching hospital, which we support, saw over 150 wounded people. “This is appalling. Markets, homes, and key civilian infrastructure are not targets. All parties to the conflict must protect civilians.” msf.org/people-killed-and-15…

SAF air strikes kill 102 unarmed civilians in Nyala, with a 113 more wounded during the attack. Bombs have reportedly hit residential areas across the city, including the Tongonaj Market. The attack comes as part of a broad aerial campaign in Sudan with the SAF continuing to target civilian areas despite calls for de-escalation and peace.

Lander needs to make the journey Avi Shlaim did from liberal Zionism to anti Zionism imho
Exclusive: Israel revoked entry permits for Brad Lander and other US Jewish figures after they were detained at a West Bank olive harvest last week. jewishcurrents.org/israel-re…

I hate this condescending whataboutism. Yes Bret, if the interior minister of Japan was a right-wing religious zealot using US taxpayer money for ethnic cleansing, they would probably be better known.
NYT's Bret Stephens whines that Democrats know "Smotrich and Ben-Gvir" but not "the interior minister of Japan." Their "obsession" with Israel drives him "crazy." (Being politically informed on Israel is now anti-Semitic.)

Tlaib is absolutely correct and one of the only serious and principled members of Congress.
Regardless of which war criminal becomes prime minister, Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid will continue to face genocide, land theft, and erasure. We cannot accept lies, excuses, or half-measures from our leaders. We must impose a full arms embargo and sanctions until Palestine is free.

Israel's propagandists are paid to spew vile racism. They are also so fragile the mere sight of Palestinians sends them into a crying fit.
This is Texas. We are being occupied.

Watch this. Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists. “We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

“You take the victim and make the victim the perpetrator.” I hear versions of this argument a lot but it doesn’t make any sense. No category of person is fixed through history as one or the other. Many (most?) have taken a turn as both victim and perpetrator depending on context.
“To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild.”  Broadway icon and Nobody Wants This star Tovah Feldshuh gets real with Jonathan Harounoff on UNSCRIPTED, on acting, marriage, the global rise of antisemitism, and what she says about the genocide accusations against Israel. Full episode drops Monday, October 26 on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.  Production support provided by the @cjewishhistory, @AmericanSephard, Noff Media, Odd One Out Studios, @JewishNewsUK, and Leah Barzideh.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)
