  1.

  2. As a @NorthwesternU alum (CAS '96), this is turning out to be my generation's failure. We should have wrapped our heads around responsibilities to both public discourse and avoiding criminalization of either student activism or students of color a long time ago. x.com/thrasherxy/status/1755229681417175516
  3. While Student Publishing Company, the entity that publishes the Daily Northwestern @thedailynu complained to police, the student-run Editorial Board now rejects the company's actions. x.com/thrasherxy/status/1755229681417175516
  4. One Israeli military tactic during the present assault is targeted destruction of occupied homes from the air. Given the level of Israeli intelligence data, these should often be regarded as family-annhiliating assassinations. Many targets have been humanitarians, not Hamas. x.com/RamiJarrah/status/1754989224745427375
  5. On September 1, 1939, postal workers in what had been the Free City of Danzig faced a German invasion by taking up arms and fighting the occupiers. German occupation forces called them unlawful combatants and summarily executed them. Poland remembers them as heroes.

  7. 72% of polled Israelis support halting humanitarian aid to Gaza until Hamas returns all the hostages it is holding. timesofisrael.com/almost-4-in-10-israelis-back-a-revival-of-jewish-settlements-in-gaza-poll-finds/
  8. So the Biden administration looked into Israeli settler violence and found FOUR people to sanction. Four? After 242 incidents reported by Yesh Din since October 7, and 1,225 reported by the United Nations in 2023.

  9. Everyone should at least consider the idea that the law is constantly remade to prevent social change. That many effective strategies will be criminalized precisely because they are effective. That, therefore, one should never confuse legality with morality. x.com/hannahcrileyy/status/1753122792847880403
  10. You will never convince me that a million more people of color in a country of 330 million people is "a crisis" that undermines our country. x.com/ackocher/status/1753049755909792108
  11. So, at the moment, the Republican Congress is blocking funding for weapons for Israel and Ukraine. Trump wants them to block Biden's border enforcement money. And Biden has blocked funding of the largest humanitarian relief org in Gaza. Who's the most off brand?
  12. In Gaza, "It is estimated that over 650,000 people will have no home to return to, and that many more will be unable to return immediately, due to the level of damage to surrounding infrastructure, as well as the risk posed by explosive remnants of war." ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-103
  13. This was less than 3 months ago. Yesterday, the US government followed Israel's demands and cutoff funds for UNRWA's "extraordinary lifesaving work." x.com/SecBlinken/status/1721214542901047752
  14. The International Court of Justice's order affirmed the plausibility of genocide being committed in Gaza and ordered Israel not to do so further. It also treated denial of humanitarian necessities as part of genocide. These orders are as mandatory as International Law gets.
  15. "In Gaza… civilians are declared “human shields” even while they attempt to flee areas for safety or live inside “safe zones.” These new norms of genocidal warfare are an ominous portent… in which entire populations are no longer categorized civilian." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2024.2306714
  16. Ken but not Barbie getting nominated was 100% on-brand for Barbie's analysis of the real world. But the hundreds of tweets that didn't even mention America Ferrera's nomination invisbilize women of color in a way the movie strove not to. variety.com/2024/film/awards/america-ferrera-barbie-oscar-snubs-greta-gerwig-margot-robbie-disappointing-1235880039/

  18. I don't know how to reach those who need to hear this, but shouting "Four More Years" while a young person begs "Let Gaza Live" is a force multiplier for deep, visceral rejection of your candidate. x.com/TocRadio/status/1749913906892447789
  19. Biden was interrupted thirteen times today by protesters demanding an end to support for Israeli war crimes. x.com/TocRadio/status/1749918477786439707
  20. Latest Israeli military casualties came as part of this operation to destroy all civilian infrastructure* in a 1km band on the Israeli border0. (*except that donated by foreign states) x.com/ha_makom/status/1749734275383959921

  21. Just for clarity, we're these two-story buildings that the IDF was blowing up residential? Would it be more accurate to say that the IDF was "blowing up Palestinian homes" because it believes that will prevent attacks on Israelis, not "people" who want to "return to their homes."

  22. Whatever demilitarized exceptions exist in the world, a viable Palestinian state will require a credible defense that its largest cities won't be destroyed from the air again.

  23. Raphael Lemkin, the Polish Jewish lawyer who coined the term genocide, viewed cultural destruction as a key element of Nazi genocide of both Jews and Poles. (pictured quote from _Axis Rule in Occupied Europe_) x.com/adequatehousing/status/1747811015226479102

  24. The human rights in Palestine caucus has just 11 members, which is dismal, but far better than many other points in US-Israeli relations. x.com/prem_thakker/status/1747428600645558486
  25. Joe Biden has at least 100x as much patience with Israel as George W Bush did in 2002. x.com/BarakRavid/status/1746521837717127673
  26. Someone remind me of what the US and Israel were doing the last 12 weeks.

  27. Relevantly to Gaza, Raphaël Lemkin, the Polish Jewish jurist who coined "genocide", named the calculated undernourishing of both Poles and Jews as an element of Nazi genocide.
  28. As the world considers the charge of genocide to describe Israeli actions in Gaza, the civilian death toll is rapidly approaching the scale of loss in Bosnia, where an initial population of 1.9 million suffered 33 thousand civilian deaths. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide?wprov=sfla1
  29. Someone needs to walk Democrats through the rise of Richard Nixon, our most dangerous post-WW2 president. Key factors include a failing, unpopular war that Nixon disavowed, promising a "secret plan" to end it. Johnson lost many antiwar voters either to abstention or Nixon.
  30. This is the future we imagine for Jewish Israelis when we chant "Palestine will be free": Three decades from now, sitting side-by-side with Palestinians using their history of overcoming apartheid to defend the human rights of all. #SouthAfrica #Israel #Palestine

  31. Now that the US has actively expanded the Mideast war to Yemen, can we please stop with the reporting on how Biden, Blinken, and US diplomats are "trying to prevent a wider war"?

  32. South Africa's case against Israeli genocide at the International Court of Justice is devastating: actions and intent of genocide are both carefully detailed: youtube.com/watch?v=Id4n7Arns1M
  33. Tennessee legislature shifting and defending rules of order to minimize democratic accountability. 👇🏾 x.com/Vivian_E_Jones/status/1744406280662347781
  34. Israel has repackaged free-fire zones, a US practice of unlimited killing in Vietnam, as evacuation orders to "safe zones." In both cases, neither the areas targeted for evacuation nor for resettlement were safe. x.com/KenRoth/status/1743723448440901822
  35. At 850,000, Rafah is now the most populous Palestinian city, replacing Gaza City which was the most populous on October 6, 2023. x.com/matsda2sh/status/1742559492317888911
  36. Much depends on whether Israel, which just carried out back-to-back militarized assassinations on Lebanese soil, did or did not also carry out a bombing on Iranian soil. Any of these acts could precipitate a wider regional war. x.com/MairavZ/status/1742603902296465895
  37. "Rules-based international order" gives the vibe of respecting global norms without the obligation for the US and its allies to follow actual international law. x.com/paologerbaudo/status/1742663613272252417
