Congratulations Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for your historic accomplishment of triggering widespread western recognition of the State of Palestine.

This is the essential problem with I-P discourse here. It’s exhausting.

BOYCOTT EVERY SETTLEMENT INDUSTRY.

SANCTION EVERY WEST BANK SETTLER.

Listen, whatever your thoughts on B’Tselem’s determination that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, their conclusion—that it will only stop with international intervention—has been obvious since October 2023.

Recognizing the State of Palestine is good. But unless it’s coupled with real international pressure to restore infrastructure and provide aid, it isn’t enough.

Rula Daood, our national co-director, is a Palestinian who lives under the same system that dehumanizes and kills her people, and still, she stood tall in Tel Aviv and said what all of us need to be brave enough to say.

Listen to her:

Ouster of MK Ayman Odeh fails in part due to a UTJ (Haredi party and coalition partner) boycott of all proposed legislation so long as there is no Haredi draft exemption

How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power

First: it was obvious from the first day of the coalition talks to form this cursed government that Netanyahu was giving too much power to the most extreme people. Second: Smotrich and Ben-Gvir don’t deserve a special place in hell, they deserve to be in coach there

Heil Fidelity amirite

They have it in the US!

FWIW 28 years later tried but isn’t really medically accurate. The whole morphine and xylazine (tranq) cocktail, while a cute reference, would not act that fast to sedate zombies. Especially given IM. (Not to mention that every movie that shows people giving meds IV into the neck is lying to you.)

Sorry, but Suzy Hansen not mentioning Hamas perpetrating sexual violence once in 10,000 words is not omission, it’s denialism.

Ceasefire or no ceasefire, the situation in Israel is still one in which the expected and accepted response to trauma is jingoism and racism.

But why not ‘Gator Gulag’?

So I just have to parse through this mishmash and get my hopes up like a Pavlovian dog every time?

The difference between this and Nazi propaganda against Jews is that this is AI-generated.

These are not “humanitarian aid” distribution sites. The’re sites the IDF took from Hamas as part of a larger effort to reestablish a prolonged military occupation.

To be clear: any institution the occupying army takes over will contribute more to the recurrence of war than long-term stability.

If it turns out all we had to do to achieve a two-state compromise in Israel-Palestine is threaten to send Netanyahu to prison if he refuses then that’s a real facepalm moment for the peace movement.

What a wild array of moving parts. And of course that sticky issue of Palestinian statehood.

I mean, Brooklyn is very diverse. Cuomo pulled in 82% of the vote in some of the more Jewish neighborhoods

For me it’s just a baseline Talmudic terror, we’ll call it. I don’t even live in New York anymore

Some of the finer points Gessen makes here are lost when they sow doubt about SJP’s response to October 7 (it was celebratory), or obscure anti-Israel bigotry behind the phrase, “criticism of Israel.”

I’ll never forget seeing a Fajr-5 hit the sea just off Tel Aviv in 2012. Within minutes a paddle boarder was making his way out there to collect some souvenirs

It’s wild to see Bibi just out in the open on the streets of Tehran.
