As of this moment 411 people of them 142 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza. These are the confirmed cases. The actual number is likely higher. This is unacceptable. Expect better. Demand better. Pressure your elected representatives to put an end to the madness.
Deleted a previous post indicating that we know the politics of Kirk’s assassin. I’m still seeing conflicting reports. Apologies for the haste.
If you’re celebrating political violence against Charlie Kirk at this moment, you don’t understand how authoritarianism operates. Trump will use this to further dismantle our civil liberties.
The problem with the iPhone as a serious video/filmmaking tool is the aggressive pace of change. The physical form changes every 3 years or so. Once it’s introduced, there’s like 4 months before the accessories that make it useful come out and then you have 2.5 years before they become obsolete.
There was a terror attack in Jerusalem today against innocent Israeli Jews. There have been ongoing terror attacks against innocent Palestinians in Gaza every day since Israel broke the last ceasefire on March 18. The violence needs to end.
I just read a criticism of something that I wrote that started with “I’m sorry but you have too much kindness in your heart...” Put it on my fucking tombstone.
I like @peterbeinart.bsky.social a lot and I think he’s demonstrated rare moral courage since 10/7. But I really don’t like this hand-wringing about “Will Judaism survive?” It strikes me as a category error and maybe even a sort of internalization of antisemitism.

These images and videos have been circulating for months. I know too many people who insisted against the evidence of their own senses that there is no hunger in Gaza. It’s difficult to overstate how much Palestinians have been dehumanized in Zionist circles.

On the *low end* we’re looking at an 83% civilian casualty rate. They think they’ve killed 8900 actual fighters. Let me ask the obvious question: How on earth is this a mistake? Either the IDF are the most incompetent military in modern history, or this ratio is born of a deliberate policy.
IDF database suggests 83% of Gaza dead were civilians
Classified intelligence reveals Israel killed 8,900 militants by May, indicating an almost unparalleled proportion of civilian slaughter.

I’m old enough to remember when annihilationist rhetoric was whispered at parties by a fringe of Israeli society.

Bill Maher *still* hasn’t bothered to learn how to pronounce Mamdani’s name, but he’s apparently offended that he won’t come on Real Time. You know, because what Muslim politician wouldn’t want to field questions from Bill I-have-a-problem-with-Islam Maher?
Horse hitching post at Walmart, 2025. There’s a Mennonite community up here in the Soo, so Walmart reserved parking for them. This is what makes America great. Not cutting healthcare for the most vulnerable among us.
Jews around the world took a look at rising antisemitism post October 7 and then looked at what is happening in Israel and said “We’d rather deal with the antisemitism than live in Israel.”

There’s a kind of emotional labor that doesn’t get enough attention. That for many people feels like selling out. I’m referring to the emotional labor of forgiving people for their moral blind spots. Not only is it NOT selling out, but it is essential in the maintenance of our humanity.
I had a dream that Netanyahu was letting Yigal Amir out of prison and I was needing to explain to my Zionist friends why this is a problem.
LOL. No, you odious dolt. Hamas has more than enough weapons, because some small percentage of the bombs you dropped didn’t explode and a small percentage of the equivalent of 2 Hiroshimas is enough to keep them in weapons for a decade.
Gaza airdrops contain weapons, member of Netanyahu’s party claims

You know what would be better than recognizing the state of Palestine? Sanctioning the country engaged in a mass slaughter and starvation of Palestinians. The “S” in BDS. Deep cut, I know, but I’ve been around a minute.
Bill Maher’s disdain for Mamdani is one of the clearest expressions of his Islamophobia that I’ve ever seen. He continues to paint him as a villain while refusing to learn how to pronounce his name.
This interview is infuriating for many reasons. But one moment kind of blew my mind. It’s near the end. She asks Greemblatt about anti-Zionist Jews and he basically denies that they exist. They’re probably 15% of Jewish-Americans. His denial is insane.

I don’t think most Jews understand what a dangerous moment this is for our people. Israel and its defenders are undoing decades and decades of goodwill and progress on antisemitism. The lack of self-awareness is staggering and I think most can’t even hear this argument from a place of self-interest.
My family is in crisis. Aaron, my brother in-law, suffered a massive stroke and died at 48. To make matters worse, he was my mother in-law’s primary caregiver. Mom has severe dementia. My wife and I are in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to manage the situation, but we need all the help we can get.

Israel-defenders are repeating the line that Evyatar David is not on the front pages of any newspapers. Umm…This took one search.
Hamas are in the tunnels. Israel decided in the first few months that they weren’t going to fight in the tunnels. Remember that the next time you see one of those before and after satellite images of Gaza.
The psychological warfare of showing the emaciated body of a starving Israeli hostage digging his own grave is so bone-chilling and awful. The cruelty is the point. The hostages need to be returned to their families.
