The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation now says 8 of its staff members were murdered by Hamas and it believes some workers were taken hostage. HOW IS THIS NOT FRONT PAGE NEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD?
#BREAKING A horrifying and terrifying statement from The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: Tonight, at approximately 10 p.m. Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team

Hamas just murdered five Palestinian aid workers. Silence from: 🔸️UNRWA 🔸️Amnesty International 🔸️Human Rights Watch 🔸️Francesca Albanese 🔸️António Guterres 🔸️Ken Roth 🔸️Greta Thunberg 🔸️Drop Site News 🔸️Mehdi Hasan
Hamas just murdered five Palestinians—men whose only mission was to deliver aid to their own people. There are no words for the depth of Hamas’ cruelty. And let’s be clear: the media and “human rights” community who pretend to care about Palestinians are complicit in this too.

Q: “I'm sure your patients are getting better, just not—never—100%, right?” A: “I don’t know what 100% better means. At some point, as my patients emerge from desperate pain, or self-constructed prisons, or endless looping of the same painfully bad film, there is an inflection

I do not think Americans “must” be anti (or anti-anti) anything. Americans should love the Jewish people not because they have to…but because doing so is as American as apple pie. Because the greatest thinkers in the history of republicanism—from John Milton to Hugo Grotius;
Rabbi tells Senate hearing on anti-Semitism that it's "not enough" to be "not anti-Semitic." "One must be anti-anti-Semitic," he says. Didn't conservatives mock Ibram X. Kendi for saying this same stuff?

It’s 2 am in Israel. People got out of bed, drove hours to the south of Israel, only to hold flags and be there when the coffin of Shiri arrives, as a sign of respect. This is Israel. Filled with amazing people🧡❤️🩹🇮🇱 https://t.co/MY5VWfCiqn

An unspeakably awful reminder that Hamas, not Israel, brought about the misery afflicting the people of Gaza — by doing things like this.

Who cares? Where is their imam? What has their mosque said? What does their community teach? Raging bigots don’t just step out of thin air. A culture has to produce them. If Jews were caught doing this, there would be wall-to-wall condemnations by Jews. As there should be.
EXCLUSIVE: The Western Sydney hospital, which has been forced to stand down two nurses for threatening to kill Israeli patients in a vile antisemitic video, had scrubbed their social media pages which contained photos of other staff wearing pro-palestinian slogans. Sky News can

I really appreciate a lot of what the MAHA movement represents but recognize it comes with its own flaws; this youtube video offers a great example of what to be concerned about

“It’s no excuse. When trauma becomes your identity, that’s really quite a dangerous thing.” —Bessel van der Kolk (author of “The Body Keeps the Score") 🧵👇
When a mental health professional defines themselves as a “trauma therapist” and organizes their professional identity around this, there is an unintended consequence: Their patient must organize their identity around being a victim/survivor This is rarely an ideal outcome 👇

I’m an “expert” in many areas of science- psychedelics, pharmacology, behavioral economics, addiction. Top credentials & achievements. If I can’t convince you of any position in plain language, DON’T TRUST ME. We have a problem with “trusting the experts” & trusting “THE SCIENCE"

“Proportionality”. President Biden has said that Israel can retaliate against Iran, but must keep the response “proportionate”. The president also urged Israel not to attack Iran’s nuclear program. Let’s see what “proportionate” would mean, and also what’s going on with the

Nasrallah was *my* terrorist. Each one of us grows up watching a terrorist on TV threatening to kill us. For many Americans, it was Osama Bin Laden. For me, it was Nasrallah. I grew up in Northern Israel. Every few years, Nasrallah would target us with a barrage of rockets.
