“I think that a sort of discursive shift in how we talk about Palestinians’ right to defend themselves needs to happen.” @infinite_jaz Yes & long overdue but still very far. Ask a 2SS proponent how they imagine Palestinian military, borders, airspace. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/b…

Behind the Settler Attack on Palestinians and a Washington Post Journalist

Jasper Nathaniel, an independent journalist who filmed the attack, describes the significant increase in West Bank violence on the eve of the Israeli election.

The camp leaders also said: we can show you the graves. And we drove with them through a dusty field on the outskirts of the camp to the site where they bury the dead. Graves like these are the true measure of DOGE and the new US humanitarian model. /end

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood just doesn’t work coherently in U.S. discourse. There are too many layers, too much history, a lot of terrible & paralyzing aspects, also a sincere mass reaction to terrible repression & search for something better. These exchanges are stupid.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Living for years in Egypt under Mubarak and reporting extensively on the MB when it was still an enormous grassroots outlaw party, I don’t think you can erase either its virtues or its menace. I don’t think you can reduce it to either a political movement or a religious ideology

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.

If these psychopaths kick and beat a journalist so viciously while being recorded, what do you think happens to ordinary Palestinians when there’s nobody filming?

“The failure to use our leverage.” Perhaps Harris can explain why she failed to use *her* leverage as #2 in the world’s most powerful government administration during a time when Israel killed 75,000 people in Gaza and a genocide case was well underway at the ICJ.

Kamala Harris says her and Biden’s administration should have acted “sooner and more forcefully” regarding Israel’s attack on Gaza — and that the Trump administration “offers Netanyahu a blank check”: “America has at times fallen short on [moral obligation to human rights and international law]. Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers Netanyahu a blank check, and our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully.”

Yes, I understand the formal role of the VP. She is meant to be a key advisor of great influence. She also has a huge public presence and had every chance to make her views known. Not least when she ran for president and clearly said she was in lockstep with Biden on Israel.

If she wants to have a real discussion about Gaza and stake out a different position, she will have to do better than this vague, milquetoast critique which is framed as if it had nothing to do with her. She’s only managed to anger supporters of both Palestinians and Israelis.

Also, if I were the Democratic Party, I’d prevail upon Harris not to soft launch her campaign just before the midterms with Ds polling so well. For many voters, both left and right, she’s a reminder of unpopular party views/terrible moments.

I heard this Burnham interview & was surprised he doesn’t seem to grasp the cautionary tale of US experience: exaggerating very real but not very effective Russian interference and using it to cast doubt on a vote only spread distrust & made discussing 🇷🇺 impossible & toxic.

'It is unprecedented for MI5 to make such a high-profile and direct intervention in a political debate. No other prime minister in recent memory has had to have his fingers rapped in quite the same publicly humiliating way.' @MrTCHarris argues Andy Burnham’s latest effort to reignite the Brexit debate is starting to look like his first major mistake in office ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

Burnham would like a do-over on Brexit. And Russia does meddle in foreign elections & having covered Moscow I can attest to rabid interest in destabilizing Western powers. But this line of argument, overstating Russian influence, was ultimately disastrous for our politics.
