If you have spent the last week watching with rage and anguish as some Jewish institutional leaders signal alarm about the slaughter they have abetted since October 8th, this piece is for you. It's about where we go from here, and why invest in Jewish institution building at all.
"We need new Jewish institutions . . . We need them not to exit Jewish community, but to join it in earnest, on our own terms. To transition from pockets of rebellion to poles of power." @ArielleLAngel on the structures we need to sustain our movements. https://t.co/3yc0nHddIg

Today’s @StateDept sanctioning of leading Palestinian human rights organization for their work advocating for accountability of Israeli war criminals at the ICC is a sink to the bottom I had not seen. The Trump admin isn’t just mouthing Israel talking points it’s enforcing

The reason Palestinians could name it as a genocide so early was because we understood #Nakba and the reason it could take 22 months of horror and atrocity before others would agree with us is precisely because of the Nakba’s elision. #Gaza #Genocide

If not morally shocked, are you not at least insulted? Israel bombs a hospital. Kills several people, including a journalist. Rescuers & journalists respond. Then Israel bombs them. On live TV. Then Israel tells you they never target civilians & were just trying to hit a camera.

Powerful reading on teshuva and Gaza for this Elul season
A new wave of liberal Zionist criticism of the Israeli government rings hollow without accountability for the genocide, @simonerzim writes. In this piece, she explores what real teshuva would look like within the Jewish world. https://t.co/pU8dBaK9t9

"Two years into a genocide, leaders of a community that has actively offered support to the perpetrators are acting as if their sudden disavowal is enough to erase their complicity. But only an honest reckoning can ensure the same harm is not repeated." https://t.co/5YEPoUdE13

We obtained data from a classified Israeli intelligence database indicating that at least 83% of people killed in Gaza were civilians. The data lists all militant deaths the army was able to confirm. An investigation for +972 Magazine and The Guardian with Emma Graham Harrison

Maybe it’s because Israel believes the hostages are a lot more useful to them as pretext for continued genocide. What’s more puzzling is that anyone still thinks the hostages represent any form of leverage for Hamas at all.
A senior Hamas official told me that they don’t understand why Israel is demanding to receive only half of the hostages. They don’t understand why the mediators put such strong pressure on them to accept a deal that does not end the war.

Although I have met Marwan Barghouti on several occasions, and he is one of the most recognizable Palestinian figures, I had no clue it was him in the clip released of his forced encounter with Israel's Minister of Terror Itamar Ben-Gvir. Barghouti has clearly been severely

Tony, it betrays an astonishing lack of self-awareness that, having helped perpetrate one of this century’s worst atrocities, you now presume to offer this stale advice on how to end it. The only thing anyone needs to read from you right now is a mea culpa.
Thanks to the Wall Street Journal for allowing me to share some thoughts on the Middle East. https://t.co/gflScoVpcT

At the precipice of each instant, two voices speak to me. One says, “You survived.” The other, “It will begin again.”

The idea that someone would “pose” as a journalist by doing live reporting all day, every day, for two straight years — but is actually secretly a terrorist (when??) — is so stupid it demonstrates how much power Israel believes it has. Their excuse for assassinating a world
A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. Al-Sharif served as the head of a Hamas terrorist cell and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

אחרי השבעה באוקטובר באמ"ן הוקם צוות שכונה "תא לגיטימציה". אנשי מודיעין שחיפשו מידע שיעזור להעניק "לגיטימציה" למעשי הצבא בעזה - שיגורים כושלים של חמאס, שימוש במגנים אנושיים, ניצול האוכלוסייה האזרחית, כל מה שאתם מכירים. משימה עיקרית של תא הלגיטימציה הייתה למצוא עיתונאים עזתים

The killing of the entire Aljazeera crew in Gaza City and the silencing of key journalists was the prelude to the total destruction of the city: “A terrifying morning in Gaza. The city is burning to the ground. We don't know what's happening.”

I went through Israel's lies on Al-Jazeera till I ran out of breath, & I barely scratched the surface! “You should attach as much value to Israel’s allegations about Anas al-Sharif, as to the dust on the floor.”
