Of course bombing hospitals and killing civilians is utterly reprehensible. This is an indisputable fact. Right? Right? We all agree on this unequivocally. Right? Don't we? Apparently we don't. #iran #israel #palestine #gaza #genocide #bombinghospitals
April 1994 open.substack.com/pub/samschin... At 19, my Israeli cousins warned me that as a Jew in Israel, I had enemies everywhere and that it was best to kill them before they inevitably killed me. #Israel #palestinians #EastJerusalem #MountofOlives #Arabs #shooting

A Higher Ed institution penalizes someone who speaks out against killing. I understand reprimanding someone who makes a speech encouraging mass murder. This is someone who wants that to stop. That's a bad thing to promote? Insanity. #Genocide #hypocrisy #censorship #fascism youtu.be/9cwoOmpeDZw

To paraphrase the intrepid @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, the program of the "extreme right" can be reduced to one strategic exploit: Selling victimhood to privileged people. It serves White Christian nat'lists, as well as Zionists still using the Holocaust to justify murdering Palestinian children.
We are Not the Victims This Time. open.substack.com/pub/samschin... WE are not the victims. Generational Trauma is real, but we're not the victims here. If anything, we're the perpetrators. Stop posting self-righteous, fabricated nonsense to justify your blood lust. #genocide #holocaust

Has Matt Taibbi always been such a self-righteous, self-important prick? At one point he was doing good reporting about kleptocracy, and he's generally right about media censorship, but now all he wants to do is crow about how badly all of us are misreading Trump. Seems like he wants in.
Because of work like yours, @peterbeinart.bsky.social, I renounce my Zionist, Jewish Supremacist "teachers" of the past. I will call them out in a public forum because they've caused SO MANY Jewish kids to be complicit in erasing Palestinian culture & people. Thank you for your boundless courage.
Consider the typical colonialist practice that Israelis deploy by coopting words and phrases in Arabic that are "cool." Israelis love to curse in Arabic because it's "slumming" and edgy. They say "mabsoot" and "ya'allah" while they full erase the culture these words came from. #colonialism #arabic
