Fadi Zant, 9, suffering from malnutrition, is treated after being evacuated from northern Gaza to the IMC field hospital in Rafah. The Gaza Strip faces famine as Israeli attacks continue into the sixth month. - @alijadallah66

"We were deprived of medical attention, we were deprived of sleep, we were deprived of food, water, resources." "In jail I experienced better conditions than at Vanderbilt University." A Vanderbilt protestor who was arrested talks about his experiences: H/t @lawyergonerogue

“I’m a black woman in America. You calling me an antisemite…it don’t hit. It just don’t f*cking hit”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific. Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students. They attack Jewish faculty.

I would have thought this was completely uncontroversial. All except a few geniuses who persist in taking math courses reach a point when they say to themselves "I can't understand this no matter how hard I try." Some people reach it in sixth grade; others in high school; others in college. But isn't hitting the wall a nearly universal experience?

Fuck Starbucks. All my homies HATE Starbucks

i fucking hate being a student in the modern age

🚨BREAKING Protestors have shown up to harass Jews at Synagogue in LA @camhigby is on the ground

Google has never been good at marketing its products, but boy is it good at technology. Very bullish on Gemini, the Gemma line of open models, and the JAX/Keras/TPU stack

Why can’t Israelis just say their food is bagels, lox, knishes, etc and call it a day? Settlers always bring their culinary traditions with them. A much more benign example is how doubles and curried goat are Trinidadian staples, because of the south Asians brought there

I feel like everyone who goes to grad school realizes that their classmates in their PhD program who went to State U. are just as smart if not smarter than they are. I feel there’s a certain amount of selection bias going on

"Brick by brick, wall by wall, Zionism has got to fall" — protestors showed up at an event hosted by Agudath Israel, an Orthodox Jewish organization, that is meant to highlight the rise of antisemitism & the growing electoral power of religious Jews

They only gave her two minutes to speak so she ate them up in 1 minute 🇵🇸 Raliegh North #Carolina City Council

I’m currently at Princeton wearing my Yarmulke, waiting to be inundated with all the vicious anti-Semitism we’re told has overtaken our once-great Elite American Universities. I’ll let you know if I survive 😭

“8th generation Israeli”? That’s like claiming to be an eighth generation computer user. There have only been about 10 generations in *America’s” history (since 1776). The choice to repeatedly tell easily disprovable lies feels like a kind of psycosis.

✡️ I’m trying to look as Jewish as possible on my flight today, because no anti-Semite is gonna make me hide my Jewish Pride. 💪🏻

Normalise adding: 'No "israelis" or "israel" supporters. We prioritise safety, humanity, and dignity.' To invites and outside every establishment.

Harvard *faculty* just posted an explicitly antisemitic poster depicting a Jewish hand controlling the black mind. With Professors like these, it’s easy to see why we Jewish students don’t feel safe in class

News flash: Mizrahi Jews are Arabs

Hey @Delta - did you add Palestine as a new summer route? Your customers on a Boston to West Palm Beach flight yesterday were perplexed to see your flight attendant adorning a flag of Palestine pin.

thinking a lot about how 95% of ppl who say “i’m proud to be jewish” are using it as directly synonymous with saying “im proud to be white”

no offense but i just don’t think there’s any “innocent” “israeli” citizen and im tired of tiptoeing around that subject and pretending like there is some mythical exception to whom i owe some reverence or obeisance

Yuval Abraham’s speech blurring the lines between occupied and occupier, and the experience of violence, gets to the heart of how Palestinians are dehumanized by the ‘savior’ occupier—who can acknowledge their humanity only insofar as it doesn’t indict the broader colonial project.

Agreed, I am so happy that four more hostages are back! But at the same time, we need this war to end and for the rest of the hostages to be released, both for the hostages and for all of the innocent people in Gaza. And for the future of all of us

UCSF, *this* is antisemitic. Falsely equating attacks on Zionism w/attacks on Jews flattens our identity & makes our safety contingent on Israel. It fails to treat us as deserving respect in our own right. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism & never will be. Retract this now.

American Jews perplex the hell out of me. I like their food, I like their humor, I like their culture in general, and most of all I like their IQ distribution. If you're a gentile but you select your friends for being bright, it is statistically inevitable that a lot of them are going to be Jewish. (Full disclosure: genetic assays on my family suggest that we have a few percent of Ashkenazic markers. But my family has never thought of itself as Jewish and I don't self-identify that way.) The recent wave of virulent public anti-Semitism would greatly disturb me even if I didn't, in general, like Jews as individuals. Because I consider the Jews the canary in the civilizational coal mine - any society that treats them increasingly badly is probably in the process of flushing itself down the toilet of history and will certainly become a hostile environment for brainy gentile me before very long. But I said that American Jews perplex me, and here's why. They seem to be incapable, for all their above-average intelligence, of grasping how large a hand they themselves had in creating the monster that is now stalking them. There's this concept of tikkun olam in Judaism, repairing the world as a religious duty. It's expressed in both religious and secularized Jews as a persistent attraction to social-reform causes. Jews want to fix what's broken about society - which, in the abstract, is quite admirable. But... They keep buying into Marxism, either directly or as critical theory and "social justice". Jews disproportionally give their money and their leadership abilities to collectivist ideologies which will inevitably turn on them - because to a would-be totalitarian, the thinker and the Jew and the cosmopolitan are always a disruptive threat. I've been watching this colossal, self-destructive error play out all my life. It doesn't take much study of history to see that Jews, especially secularized Jews, have been repeating this mistake almost en masse since the mid-19th century if not earlier. Why? Why? You guys are smart enough to dominate the Nobel prizes and yet you keep failing to see the bloody obvious. For your individual and tribal self-preservation, you ought to be the staunchest anti-Communists and anti-socialists anywhere. Collectivism isn't good for anybody, but it's especially deadly to Jews. Instead, when Stalinists stuffed you in boxcars you failed to connect the dots so comprehensively that the red-diaper Communist families in the U.S. are still predominantly Jewish generations later. Nazis murdered six million of you and you still don't get that racial identity politics is poison? How can you be so blind? Today, it's the hard left in the US, again, organizing "anti-Zionist" demonstrations that are working themselves up to become pogroms, and judging by your voting and donation patterns you *still* don't get it. Can anybody honestly tell me that American Jews are waking up? I'd like to think so, because we need you on the side of liberty and individualism. History doesn't make me optimistic, though, and that colossal blind spot continues to puzzle me exceedingly.

I am a Jew. I renounce slaughter. I renounce genocide, I renounce child murder. I renounce Israel. It is not a Jewish state. There is nothing Jewish about genocide.

Statements like this from Columbia SJP reflect a very real confusion on the left about the morality & legality of Oct. 7. International humanitarian law prohibits attacks that target civilians, regardless of the cause or whether the actor doing the attacking is occupied.

i feel like i’m losing my fucking mind. THERE! WERE! ANTI-MUSLIM! POGROMS! IN! THIS! COUNTRY! LITERALLY! TWO! WEEKS! AGO!

Here’s another one from an another friend’s son @ucla. Protestors take over access to area near school library demanding wrist bands and approval to each student passing. “So you won’t let me in because I’m Jewish?” “Ummm no… we have a couple Jewish students here … are you a Zionist?” “Yes of course I am” “Well yeah, we’re not gonna let Zionists in.”

For most Arabs who experienced the Nakba, it was also the first time they discovered they were Palestinians. Until then, they were primarily Arabs, migrant workers who had arrived only a decade or two earlier to make a living, and suddenly found themselves as Palestinian refugees without having intended to be. By the way, it is very logical and likely that those who were truly the native Arabs, who had lived there for many generations, were actually the ones who did not flee or voluntarily leave their homes and eventually became Israeli citizens.

The bedroom of Hersh Goldberg-Polin. "Jerusalem is Everyone's"

I'm truly baffled by this paragraph from the recent WIRED article about OpenAI. So open-source research is a key part of their business model, and yet *giving back* to that community is no longer part of the agenda. That's quite the contradiction 🤷🏼‍♀️ wired.com/story/what-openai-…

Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Public officials and media making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.

“Zionists don’t deserve to live.” Meet Khymani James, a leader of Columbia University’s anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment. He said this during a live-stream which included a meeting with the school over threatening social media posts. My latest:

He moved there with his parents when he was *seven* years old, there is mandatory service, and he served as a *medic*. His mandatory service was over before he was kidnapped. Some photos from his room---not uncommon for medics to move further left after serving

Israeli settlers broke into a Palestine private house in south mount Hebron, they sat with the family without the family permission, they acted as if it is their house, they smoked cigarettes, they are intimidating the families to force them to leave .

We are devastated by the news that 6 of the hostages kidnapped on 10/7 were murdered in Hamas captivity. Their bodies were rescued by Israeli forces and brought home to their families. We send our deepest condolences to the families of: Ori Danino z”l Carmel Gat z”l Hersh Goldberg-Polin z”l Alex Lubnov z”l Almog Sarusi z”l Edan Yerushalmi z”l They will live on in the hearts of millions around the world. All of Am Yisrael is mourning tonight. Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. May their memories forever be a blessing. 🕯️

Palestinians - You came from Europe and stole our land. Historical fact - We entered the land with Joshua in the late 13th century BCE and built the Beit Hamikdash (first Tempe) in 957 BCE. I think we were in the land first…

To the members of Congress who boycotted Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech: You just spat in the faces of the U.S. hostages still being held in Gaza by Hamas, the Americans murdered on 10/7 by Hamas, the 7 million Jews who reside in Israel, and the Jewish constituents you serve. Shame on each and every single one of you.
