A couple weeks away! Our annual Palestine conference. Register to join in person or online.
Ladies and gentlemen, Yemen has entered the chat.
To keep making money off the zionist crowd, self-hating racist screeds are not enough for this grifter anymore, now he is actually trying to look like Theodore Herzl.
Israel's national security minister laying out an explicit, time-phased plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
This month!!! Our third annual Palestine Conference!
I spoke to Arab Barghouti, the son of imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti about Palestinian prisoners, politics, and his father's condition. Tune in.
Actually, scholars paying attention to trends in Israel raised the possibility of genocide well BEFORE October 7th. All the warning signs were flashing red because of Israel's violent policies, extremist government and dehumanizing rhetoric. https://t.co/kNHx13CgSQ
Netanyahu on October 7th: I was asleep.
We're still doing the settlements may foreclose on a two-state solution shtick in 2026 - the US Intel community pointed this out in 1968.
One very important reason why Israel has been able to get away with this is the permanent elasticity ascribed to the "two-state solution" by Western policymakers and discourse. The window is always closing but never shuts and thus the excuse to do nothing just yet persists.
Ask yourself who benefits from obsessive news narratives about Hasan Piker, or Tamika Mallory, or Rob Malley or Rashid Khalidi or Jeremiah Wright and on and on and on instead of advancing progressive policy discourse on Medicare for all and ending endless wars? Same trick, time and again. The Dem establishment doesn't keep falling for it, they are in on it! Wake up and focus on what matters, which is what they and their donors want to distract from.
Too many want to pretend Ben Gvir is some sort of fringe outlier, meanwhile thr Prime Minister needs to run to him like a little tataleh. The truth is there is a real chance Ben Gvir may one day sit in the PMs seat.
In case you are wondering why Israel is STILL denying outside press entry into Gaza it is so they can not document the world's biggest crime scene.
They don't have their heads in the sand, they don't care. They care about AIPAC donations and believe voters will be forced to conform or else they will have to see Republicans elected.
Imagine if a Muslim or a group of Muslims said the political ideology of Islamism is a core part of their identity as Muslims, and, therefore, opposing the Muslim brotherhood is hateful and even a violation of their civil rights. I think we'd all call that ridiculous. Same should go for those trying to conflate anti-zionism and antisemitism.
Sad to learn of the passing of Sliman Mansour, a true giant of Palestinian art who had a distinctive style and unique touch in communicating the Palestinian experience.

Remember folks, establishment Dems kept telling us Stevens, backed by tens of millions from AIPAC, was the more electable candidate in Michigan. Now even the Republican doesn't want to be seen taking this support.
This has really never been about Jewish voters. The majority of US Jews do not rank Israel at the top of their issue importance list. A smaller percentage does. They are loud and dedicated and pour resources into politics but as the Israel lobby becomes ever more toxic, even that influence wanes.
Israelis will chose between Apartheid-backing politicians and Apartheid-backing politicians as they voted for their government.
As more Americans every day are getting sick and tired of spending American blood and treasure to back a the genocidal Israeli rogue state, pro-Israel advocacy is increasingly just "Well uh, I mean, hey, LOOK OVER THERE! SCARY MOOOZZZLUMS!" Americans are tired of being played. https://t.co/g30BaLxUfU
"The extraordinary tension underscores how far AIPAC's political standing has fallen amid voters' anger over the war in Gaza. Even Rogers — a staunchly pro-Israel Republican — fears the group's public support could be a liability in the Nov. 3 election."
He failed to eliminate Hamas. Failed to eliminate Hezbollah. Failed to eliminate Iran's regime. Tanked Israel's global reputation to lowest levels in history. Losing grip on US relations, Israel's most vital asset. Now he barks hot air at Turkey before his election because he is desperate to look tough.
A decade and a half ago, after the Israeli assault on the Mavi Marmara and killing of 9 civilians, I wrote an article reviewing Israel's history of impunity, looking at several high profile military massacres and the failure to hold anyone accountable. It appeared in @BayoumiMoustafa's book at the time. Same as it ever was. Here's the conclusion.
I don't know of any viable candidate in Israel that has a different answer to this question. The only answer they have to failed propoganda is more propoganda.
