It is just horrifying to hear what is happening at The New School. A vibrant place with an extraordinary legacy is being gutted by mismanagement. Feel for all the faculty, staff and students.

I don't know how my colleague Nathan Brown does it, but he produces one deeply thoughtful and extensive analysis of Israeli and Palestinian politics after another. Here is one of the most recent, on the lack of realistic strategic direction in Israel: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
Israeli Policy Is Divided Into Two Main Camps. Neither One Offers a Realistic Path Forward.
To exit the strategic cul-de-sac, Israeli leaders need to account for today’s political and diplomatic realities, as well as the limits of what military force can accomplish.

You can't tackle antisemitism by quietly disinviting individuals - especially if these people have a mass following. The "rotten apple" approach never works - especially if you're not even willing to say it's rotten. You need to talk about it, explain, educate.

After a two year campaign of genocidal violence, Israel has not succeeded in meeting any of its objectives. Hamas still holds power, almost half the hostages were killed (many by munitions from the IDF). The majority of those returned alive were returned in the November 2023 ceasefire.
Hudu Abu Naja, 12- before and after starvation. Like thousands of children in Gaza, she suffered from severe malnutrition. In the last two months, organizations and doctors tried to evacuate her without success. This morning, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra reported she has died reports @nirhasson.bsky.social
Hamas’s statement, that Trump seemed to welcome, has flipped the script on Netanyahu. Essentially they have taken us back to the third stage of the last ceasefire agreement - the agreement Israel broke to avoid the very negotiations Hamas is calling for.

I look back on this post and see the “well done” was wildly overstated. @ispp-pops.bsky.social action in opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza is welcome but it is shameful that clear statements of condemnation and clear calls for action were not made beforehand.
Jeremy Ginges@jeremyginges.bsky.social · 11mo agoWell done to ISPP. It’s a painful statement for me to read, but it’s important to stand in clear opposition to genocide.
The genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza will be a stain on Jewish identity for all time. It will involve a transformation of our conceptualization of who we are. We are now part of a collective that carried out a genocide.
Israel killed 22 people - including nine children - in strikes on Gaza City on Wednesday, Palestinian officials have said. Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal described the killings as a "horrific massacre". news.sky.com/story/israel...

I think many of us share this feeling of despair. The silence of governments, of friends, colleagues, communities is shocking still. Perhaps we are living in a different world to the one we imagined
Yair Wallach@yairwallach.bsky.social · 11mo agoI started watching the Torres interview but couldn't last more than a few minutes (before they even got close to discussing Gaza). Torres comes across as deeply creepy. The kind of person you're not sure what he's about and you really don't want to find out.

Israeli anti government protests that ignore the genocide in Gaza, that ignore the suffering of innocent civilians, are worse than no protests at all. They are signifiers of the very mentality, dare I say culture, that caused the genocide.
The pro Palestinian campus protests have been effectively silenced because the discourse of those protests made people feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, it’s striking how comfortable and silent the same people seem to feel about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Israel is starving children.
Laila Ghannam, governor of Ramallah: "The brutal Israeli occupation persistently continues to terrorise the Palestinian people" Lina Abu Akleh reports on Israels latest attacks on Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, including firing at journalists who were filming the attacks.
Apartheid and violent oppression of Palestinians is supported by Israel as a whole: the government (not just this one), the legal system, the army, universities….
