Also, this was absolutely not the consensus in my Jewish family or the many Jews I grew up around. Israel had nothing to do with our Jewishness.
It’s fascinating to watch both Ezra Klein and Michelle Goldberg do this asymptotic approach to anti-zionism throughout the years, they’ve gone from 10% to 5% to .05% to 0.1% and all it took was a live-streamed genocide. No rush guys! nytimes.com/2025/07/20/opi…
Israeli army is escalating its use of lethal force in the north of the West Bank. One kid, 14 years old, was just shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in Arrabeh, Jenin. Another 15-year-old was shot in the thigh and is hospitalized. In the last week, two other kids were killed…
"We don't need socialism. We need public-private partnerships." After Mamdani's primary victory in New York, establishment Democrats are already copying his signature videos. Zeteo produced our own (fake) centrist Democrat featuring Zeteo senior producer @heycappello.
Reminder to all Western journalists You can attempt to cleanse yourself of your complicity by saying access to Gaza is closed But that's not true of Jenin and Tulkarem, where Israel is deploying similar levels of violence.
🚨 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, head of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, has lost a third of his body weight in Israeli detention — surviving on just two spoonfuls of rice a day, according to his lawyer. She was recently granted access to see him at Ofer prison and reports: ▪️…
Hundreds of high-profile Western journalists are complicit. And, here's the thing, many of them genuinely believe that all they're doing is being objective. After 25 years in this business, I know the hubris well.
This is so common and heartbreaking. Today, I watched a Palestinian woman waiting in an ambulance at the Qalandia checkpoint for clearance from Israeli soldiers to cross. She could have been dying, and Israeli soldiers took their time.

OFFICIAL CUAD PRESS RELEASE: In a historic first, Columbia has suspended nearly 80 students for participating in a teach-in honoring Basel al-Araj. The announcement comes just ahead of the University's deal with the Trump administration and the Anti-Defamation League.
Posters like this are everywhere in Jerusalem’s Old City

Last week, Frieda Scherer, a 109 year-old Holocaust survivor, passed away. This is the letter she left for her granddaughters: Dear Erika and Polina, We don’t have much time left together in this world. I was fortunate to live a long and good life, especially in the last two…
בשבוע שעבר הלכה לעולמה פרידה שרר, ניצולת שואה בת 109. זה המכתב שהיא השאירה לנכדותיה: אריקה ופולינה היקרות, לא נשאר לנו הרבה זמן ביחד בעולם הזה. זכיתי לחיות חיים ארוכים וטובים ובעיקר בשני העשורים לחיי כשהכרתי אתכן. אך לא כך היו הדברים תמיד, כשרק סיימתי את הלימודים המדינה שלי סגרה…
📍 Ramallah Office of the People’s Republic of China to the State of Palestine

For the @Parapraxis_Mag resistance issue I wrote about the lines of flight forged by some of the most important revolutionaries of our time. Among other things, this piece is my perspective on Black-Palestinian solidarity
Stephen by this exact logic Britain shouldn’t have recognised Israel following the King David Hotel bombing. Terrorism certainly seems to have worked in that instance at least.
Israeli #idf troops kidnap a school kid, then release him. As he walks away, they shot him in the back of the head with a gas canister.
Everyone I know who has a conscience feels guilty eating anything right now given that Palestinians are dying of starvation.
It’s impossible to describe the feeling of returning to Ramallah without the word "home." I have only love for this city and land. I hope one day it will be free.
