“Harvard Medical School canceled a planned Jan. 21 lecture on wartime healthcare and a subsequent panel with patients from Gaza receiving care in Boston in response to objections that students would hear from Gazans impacted by the war and not also Israelis.” @palestine
“The Israeli government has announced regulations that could see NGO workers barred from the country. Three senior officials in the field worry the move will stop humanitarian aid to the West Bank and Gaza. 'This will basically cut the head off of 200 organizations,' says one.”
"We're dealing with a state that is …actively obstructing aid, whether that be in #gaza or the #westbank.” @palestine
Climate scientist, Peter Kalmus, speaking about his NYT op-ed piece on the wildfires that have devastated big areas of Los Angeles. He talks about what NYT did not allow him to say in his piece. Not surprisingly since NYT is part of the establishment and it prioritizes manipulating rather than informing the public. #climatechange#climate#lafires
Another ridiculous NYT article. It's remarkable that it fails to note that Carter was against Israel's apartheid system while Biden continues to fund Israel's massacres in Gaza. Skip the article and go to the readers' comments. People cannot unsee what they have seen in the past 15 months. They know who Biden is. #JimmyCarter#biden
We will Jimmy Carter as an honest moral man who dedicated his life to peace. Joe Biden will be remembered for his amoral life-time commitment to power and domination and his hands stained of so much blood of innocent civilians. He’s the first President who oversaw and orchestrated an annihilation of indigenous people sine the annihilation of native Americans. #biden#JimmyCarter#genocide
The MAGA war against “globalists” continues. George Soros must be amused to see that Elon Musk has replaced him as Steve Bannon’s target. The spectacle will continue as Trump 2 begins. #uspol
The link leads to a photo of an old lady who carries a sign that says, “When the rich rob the poor, it’s called business. When the poor fight back, it’s called violence.”
I want to watch No Other Land but there’s no way to watch it in the US. I’m watching this instead: All That Remains. @palestine #gaza https://aje.io/tvot6w
The New York Times has killed an investigation by one of its own reporters into Israeli mob violence in #amsterdam earlier this month. (#IsraeliHooligans engaged in violent acts in France too. )
@freemo Billionaires funded Trump. Billionaires bought the Suoreme Court. Billionaires own so many in the Congress. I’m talking about the US’s transformation into a complete oligarchy. Trump is their hired gun to destroy any rival to the billionaires’ political regime. Thanks to the technology, they no longer have to fear angry mobs. Undoing of human rights as we are seeing in Gaza serves them. They will use the same tactic to completely undermine every democratic institution.
The American billionaires have learned that it’s so easy to massacre people. Just call them terrorists and you can slaughter babies too. They control the media, politics and universities. They will completely undo the state so that they can steal more from the little people. Expect a world where we the little people will be monitored by drones and robot dogs and shot at. We will all be Palestinians in a world with no human rights. #gaza#dystopia#genocide
Another beautiful sunny weekend that I do not deserve. Another weekend of the hypocrisy that has enabled me to live a privileged life of safety and abundance. Little did I realize that all the talk about human rights, human dignity and democracy had always been no more than a facade to cover up the Western colonialism that had never ended. #genocide
Israeli father of a Hamas’ victim criticizes his country as Fascist. From Haaretz. Read his words. @palestine
“I am one of those who believe that all the plans for revenge and flattening Gaza are like putting out a fire with gasoline. I still think, even more strongly, that the only way – which nobody talks about and which we keep moving further from – is to sit down and talk, to find a way to make peace. Peace is made with enemies." https://archive.is/vB40D
As Marsha Gessen wrote about Germany, Europe’s anti-antisemitism policy is often used to silence Jewish intellectuals who speak up against Israel’s violence. The UK arrested an Israeli Jewish professor for speaking up against Israel’s violence on a terrorism charge.
“The Israeli Army Chief Who Became a Road-blocking Anti-government Protester”
“The extremism in the Israeli army disgusts him, he views settlers as the epitome of anti-Israeliness, and when he sees kids in war-torn Gaza he thinks of his own grandchildren”

Political scientist--Comparative Politics (Europe & East Asia). Spent half the 2010s in Turin, Italy. My research covers welfare states, varieties of capitalism, demographic aging and gender issues. A bi-cultural product of Japan & Galicia (Spain). I boost stories that I agree with or don't agree with but find intriguing as a memo for myself.
