Haim helped organize the protective presence shifts program in Masafer Yatta. He worked shifts in A-Tuwani. May his memory be a blessing and his death not be used to justify violence & collective punishment
תנועת עומדים ביחד משתתפת בצערם של נוי כצמן, חברת הנהגת התנועה ומשפחתה, על האובדן הקשה של אחיה חיים כצמן, שנהרג בקיבוץ חולית.
חיים היה ד"ר למדעי המדינה ומוזיקאי, וגם פעיל שלום. הוא תמיד מצא זמן להתנדב בפעילויות שנועדו לקדם את השלום ואת החיים ביחד, וזה שובר את הלב לרסיסים. (1/2)
When I shared info on settler violence in masafer yatta this week a lot of Israelis told me it’s not the time/“giving fuel to anti-Semites”/ I’m ignoring October 7th
What will it take for people to realize the status quo in West Bank is untenable for Palestinians & israelis?!?!
On the morning of the 7th of October, 32 battalions were sent to protect Israeli settlers terrorising Palestinians and burning towns in the West Bank, and only 2 were guarding the border with Gaza
Need more proof that the occupation and settlers are the root cause of all evil?
my peers and professors at Harvard gave me the tools to unlearn biased narratives about Israel & learn about the nakba & occupation. Would be tough to challenge stories you’ve been told your whole life about Israel when you’re spending your time on campus fearing antisemitism

Ambassador Nides avoids answering whether annexation & threats to judiciary would undermine US and Israel’s shared values:
When pressed about annexation: “I don’t do red lines or yellow lines…”

Thank you thank you thank you for this. Harvard Hillel was my home on campus,& enabled me to question certain narratives about israel. With leadership changes, it seems students have to decide between religious life & supporting Palestinian liberation.
Parties in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government — including Noam, Jewish Power and United Torah Judaism — writes

Looking over the West Bank,
@David_Cameron
heard about the impact of settlement expansion and settler violence.
Reports of Palestinian civilians being killed by settlers across the West Bank are appalling.
Israel must prevent these acts of violence and hold those responsible to
Hey Senator Vance, you should learn a little bit about Israel’s political system and the role/history of judicial review.
By comparing Israel’s judicial coup to the American left’s rebuke of the packed, illegitimate SCOTUS, you demonstrate that you have no grasp of this issue.
The people who say they love democracy are actively pressuring Israel to give up their democracy to judicial supremacy. Almost all of the “democracy” worship in Washington is from elites who hate when the people dare to disagree with them.

"This sizeable group (it is estimated that the share of the population under age 39 is around 60 percent) will undoubtedly shape the future of Iran.. "
Out now!
Regardless of the short-term results of the protest movement, it is clear that the TikTok generation of Iran is fed up with the environment of multi-layered hypocrisy that it has grown up in.

“the lie they told us, & the lie that’s being repeated today: that we can decisively eliminate the threat of Hamas through a military operation. In the years since, Hamas has only grown stronger, despite our sacrifices and despite the death and destruction we had wrought on Gaza”

“Americans make up about 4.4 percent of the global population but own 42 percent of the world’s guns. From 1966 to 2012, 31 percent of the gunmen in mass shootings worldwide were American”
The Israeli Intelligence Ministry lays out why a ground invasion to remove Hamas will not deter another attack or keep Israelis safe. this is bananas!!!
Joe Arpaio, the 90-year-old ex-Arizona sheriff who was a once powerful figure in GOP politics, has been defeated in a race for mayor of the suburb where he lives. It's his third failed comeback bid since he lost the sheríff's job in 2016.
Incredible. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will elevate Bill Montgomery, one of America's most reactionary prosecutors, to the state Supreme Court. An absolute nightmare for equal justice in Arizona.
"The idea that seven million Jews can rule millions of Palestinians with violent force, forever, without paying a steep price in the loss of democracy or of our children’s blood, is an illusion...
When the filmmaker Azza Cohen asked her 82-year-old grandma what was on her bucket list, the answers surprised her. Cohen’s short documentary “FLOAT!” follows her bubbe as she learns to swim.
“We’re trying to play a different game in Israel and Palestine…And this game is very simple. It says that both Jewish people and Palestinians are going to stay on this land. No one is going anywhere.”
The disjuncture between the Anglo/international left and the Israeli left is huge. Even when the former performatively amplify the latter, they usually and maddeningly disregard their actual politics completely.
