🧵Over the last few weeks I’ve watched some of my worst predictions come true about the destructive effects of conspiracist antizionism and the fear & loathing of Israel that have taken over portions of the left in recent years. It didn’t start in recent years of course - it’s…
Someone just hired a bot farm to make #Famine_in_Gaza the number one trending hashtag on your timeline right now. How do we know that bot farms are being used to influence public opinion in the UK? Here’s how it works. 🧵 1/10

Antizionism isn’t just an abstract political opinion—it’s a system. It doesn’t need to “cross the line” into antisemitism. It already is a coherent ideology of Jew-hatred—updated for today. This isn’t classical antisemitism. It’s the modern form. Dismantle institutional…
Why won't @nytimes publish the response to Bartov's nonsense about Israeli genocide? blogs.timesofisrael.com/hamas-disappea… @JeffreyHerf
I think @ezraklein should engage more seriously with Orthodox Jewish communities before writing articles like this.
There is a direct correlation between invention of lies concerning Israel in Gaza and the significance of Israel’s military moves there. As Hamas stonewalls negotiations, IDF moves in areas it hasn’t been before such as Dir el Balah. This freaks out Hamas and causes them to use…
Welcome to all the new advocates for persecuted Christians. Where have you been the last 15 years? We could have used your help in Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Armenia, Nigeria, and many other places.
There is a massive, largely underreported effort underway to use Israel to divide American evangelicals. As @AcrossTheBay explains, this is part of a larger phenomenon—which is the embrace of the sectarian politics of the Middle East by Washington, D.C., since the terror attacks…
This article by @AcrossTheBay is a must read. tabletmag.com/feature/rights…
Syrian jihadists are forcing Druze to jump off balconies, and shooting them as they do. Why isn’t the world raging over the massacre of the Druze? Where are your eyes now?
I was speaking to a friend yesterday who asked me if I consider myself to be an “October 8th Jew” – someone who experienced a sudden realization about their Jewish identity, their friends and allies, and the world around them in the aftermath of October 7th. The short answer is…
Just wondering who is bothered by the unfolding genocide of the Druze?
What’s both shocking and appalling is not only how much money Hamas made by exploiting humanitarian aid - but how little attention this gets in the press. Rev. @JohnnieM, president of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: "We believe Hamas made over one billion dollars last year…
Every word of this ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Since October 7th, we can understand what has occurred as a kind of double phase-transition—a fundamental rupture on both poles of the structure of anti-Jewish hatred. On one side, we have witnessed the reorganization of antisemitism into its most fully developed ideological…
It’s important to remember that antisemitism itself was invented as a euphemism. In the late 19th century, the term was coined to replace Judenhass—Jew-hate—with a more "scientific," respectable-sounding alternative. No longer mere bigotry, antisemitism presented itself as a…
Just got around to reading this. Essential stuff. #Israel #Hamas
