Remarkable how this segment opens with Ta-Nehisi Coates describing how narrative helps shape “who we believe is human, who we don’t believe is human,” and then the entire rest of the segment just proves his point in real-time
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” https://t.co/bDsBxZMbah

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

Incorrect. Anti-Zionists believe that Palestinians have a right to return & live peacefully in their ancestral homeland. Anti-Zionists understand that the liberation of Palestine is decolonial, not antisemitic. My Jewish values root me in my unwavering solidarity with Palestine.
Folks, this isn’t complicated: MOST antizionism-the type that calls for Israel’s destruction, denying its right to exist-is antisemitic. This type is used to cloak hatred of Jews. Some antizionism isn’t that. Thus, it’s simply inaccurate to call ALL antizionism antisemitic.

No Palestinian should have to fear waking around in public visibly Palestinian. And yet due to our political leaders’ racist rhetoric and actions, that’s becoming the reality. Palestinians, and all of us, deserve better. Praying for their safety.
Three young Palestinian men, Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ali and Kenan Abdulhamid, students at Brown and other US universities, were shot last night on their way to a family dinner in Burlington, USA. Their crime? Wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh. They are critically injured. And

97% of Gaza's water was unsafe to drink even before the most recent Israeli military assault, which has devastated water infrastructure. Now, a dire situation has become catastrophic. Water is life. The denial & destruction of it is genocide. Visual in partnership with @10Tooba

Such a violent, tragic understanding of our history and culture. Fiddler on the Roof ends as Jews are driven from their homes, forced to leave behind everything they knew. The lesson is that ethnic cleansing is bad, not that we need be powerful enough to be on the winning side.
