  3. In 2002, Israeli warplanes and American bombs killed one Hamas leader and 14 of his neighbors. There was a time when this was shocking. When newspapers had to describe the three house flattened and more ripped open. Because it wasn't the same everyday. washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/07/24/grief-and-fury-pervade-quarter-as-search-finds-torn-bodies/f2e19fdf-60fc-457d-bb02-254f30f44f45/
  4. Israel's behavior runs 180° counter to the positions taken by the US in Ukraine, Taiwan. From the beginning the US preferred not to speak of "international law" but a "rules-based international order" precisely to avoid accountability for its allies' transgressions. x.com/BMarchetich/status/1718993562631541101

  8. After two decades of saying it was "antisemitic" to claim Israel is like Apartheid South Africa, now pro-Zionists argue it's antisemitic to say Israel is like the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, a settler colony. Perplexing.
  9. Israel's communication minister has promised to boycott #Starlink after @elonmusk proposed allowing aid agencies to use the service. ynetnews.com/article/bjetsr5fp Pretty conclusive evidence that last night's shutdown of mobile service by @JawwalPal and @Paltelco is now Israeli policy.
  10. This comment signifies that US advisors, dispatched instantly and at the highest level, have failed to limit Israeli ambitions.

  11. I know this is a dispiriting time in terms of concrete suffering, politicians' positions, and elite backlash against pro-Palestine voices. But it's also the largest and fastest mobilized movement challenging an Israeli war in American history. x.com/alexnpress/status/1718046631528952278
  12. This is Biden's war. This is Israel's crime. #CeasefireNow #NoArmsToIsrael x.com/Timesofgaza/status/1717989107664654432
  13. Hey #Rstats community, I need to find someone willing to scrape this document into a dataset. My main research project involves quantifying deaths from political violence in another context.

  14. There are two lists in this document: the first lists 6,741 people and notes that 281 more have not had their names established. The second is children only; 2,665 names and 248 unidentified children. x.com/AseelAlBajeh/status/1717588222845354231
  15. One right thing to do with this document, naming and enumerating seven thousand Palestinian lives ended in Gaza is to collectively annotate it, adding the stories of these deaths and biographies of those lost. #Gaza #DigitalHumanities x.com/AseelAlBajeh/status/1717588222845354231

  21. A massive lack of democracy underlies American foreign policy. Going to war should require patient consultation from the bottom up, not the personal decision of a single leader. x.com/DataProgress/status/1715379996913475588
  22. By sending arms and ammunition, a 3-star general and a carrier battle group, the president himself and a UN veto, the #Biden administration fully owns the consequences of Israel's bombing and pending invasion of #Gaza. axios.com/2023/10/23/israel-gaza-war-marine-general-ground-operation
  23. Hamas' October 7 attack aligned with generations of Jewish trauma, especially the pogrom. Dara Horn @DaraHorn unpacks why.

  27. As a descendant of Jews and the African diaspora, I realize that historic trauma casts a real shadow. But fearing expulsion from A SLOGAN that ends "Palestine will be free," while Gazans are under orders to evacuate 1/2 of the 1.3% of Israel/Palestine they are crowded within??
  28. This is the hospital under evacuation order in Gaza City. x.com/PalestineRCS/status/1715474535837843804

  29. As of today, or tomorrow if by some miracle their are no dead children in Gaza's rubble, there will be one dead Palestinian child for each Israeli civilian killed on October 7. (This leaves aside their parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles.) Enough! Ceasefire Now!
  30. My current standard for Biden's diplomacy not being worthless is simple: Has he extracted a commitment from Israel to stop ordering the evacuation of hospitals and clinics? #Gaza #BidenInIsrael

  33. Since Saturday's attacks, Israeli retaliation in Gaza has killed 260 Palestinian children. It will be some time before those of us outside can see these children's faces, so let me share this documentary on children killed in 2021: aljazeera.com/program/featured-documentaries/2023/5/13/eleven-days-in-may

  39. In preparation to write a #GenerativeAI policy for my classes, I experimented with #ChatGPT. Yes, its texts are often wrong and unreliable. But more important, even its best answers lead students on a path that is the opposite of research and reflection. 🧵
