Annoying thing about this is ppl assume only Israelis died in intifadas when 10x and 3x more Palestinians died in First and Second intifadas than Israelis
"If they are trying to quell any future expanse of vigilante violence they have done a terrible job of that tonight, because it seems to be fully endorsed by the school at this point..." @joeyneverjoe reporting on a violent mob of pro Israel thugs attacking students in LA
I spoke to @AJEnglish about why we’re demanding an end to British licenses to produce weapons sold to Israel used in the genocide against Palestinians. A majority of British people support a ban on weapons licenses to Israel. Boycott Israel! @Workers4Pal
Godspeed to pro-Biden deadenders staying up late workshopping variations on "we are not responsible for the violence--which to be clear we absolutely support!"
When I was a kid, the Israeli army invaded all Palestinian cities in the West Bank including Nablus where we lived. They would impose days-long curfews where nobody is allowed to leave their house or even look out of a window. With no electricity, everything in the fridge goes…

@tamars Exactly. Such statements reveal a lot about how the President specifically thinks about such conflicts—deaths on one side matter much more than the other.

Blueanon
Morning Joe puppets are now advancing a story about roving gangs of “anarchists” who go from university to university, sowing chaos and discontent and causing our young people to suddenly be unhappy about their country’s funding of genocide. Of course, they present no proof.
Biden is the president, last I looked. And instead of trying to calm things down, he contributed to the ratcheting up of the rhetoric against protestors by tarring all of them as ‘hateful, antisemitic and dangerous’. He’s not a helpless little baby.
Consistent push to blame situation at Columbia on Joe Biden.
No one could have foreseen this.
Peaceful pro-Palestine protests=hundreds of police. Violent pro-Israel protests= police vanish
From the top rope
I was at the protest dropping off ear plugs for the students. This is what I saw: a gang of men rushed the encampment, launching fireworks, bear spray, lasers into people’s eyes, and physically assaulted protestors linked arm and arm- many being young women (1) 🧵
@geofffhughes …state (Israel) sanctioned and sponsored agitators 1st May… we should all protest in solidarity with the peaceful students who called for a ceasefire and show of humanity
Firing at a tent camp. Also rather on the nose.
Counter-protestors are shooting fireworks at the UCLA encampment, wonder how much coverage this will get in the media and the concern for student safety on campus. Israel’s impunity appears to extend to its supporters in the U.S.
One of the most frustrating nights for press access i’ve experienced as a reporter. At Columbia & CCNY, police barricaded public streets for blocks, obstructing journalists from seeing what was happening even from a distance. A policy of exclusion cheered on by Eric Adams’ staff
.@BPolatseck, a staffer in Mayor Adams' office, has deleted this tweet.
.@marthakelner explaining that it took the police over 2 hours to turn up after a violent mob of pro Israel pro genocide thugs started attacking students.
A very surefire way to ensure that students and young people will never vote for your party again is by unleashing a paramilitary force against their friends.
When the Lebanese Communist Party was illegal it used to organize a march on May 1st. Starting point and time were kept secret as government was keen on dispersing it. The tactic was to assemble at an agreed place and start the march suddenly shouting slogans and raising placards
1st May 1978 - May Day, Beirut, Lebanon A march celebrating workers' rights. May Day also gives many an opportunity to air general economic grievances or political demands. 🎥: Associated Press
“this does not help your cause” - guy who hates you and your cause
Newcastle and Bristol encampments set up in the early hours ❤️🔥
Three days ago settlers poisoned two wells in Palestinian villages in the West Bank with lethal Aldicarb-Temik poison. Disaster was avoided only because the villagers saw the settlers tampering with the well and sent the water to be tested. Thread in Hebrew.
לפני יומיים מתנחלים שפכו רעל לתוך שני בורות מים פלסטינים של תושבי העיירה סמוע. מתחילתה של הנכבה ועד היום- ישראל משתמשת בהרעלת מים כעוד כלי במטרה לטהר אתנית את פלסטין. בלילה בין שבת לראשון השבוע, ראו תושבי סמוע מרחוק מתנחלים נכנסים לאדמות שלהם ומתעסקים זמן מה בבורות המים שלהם
I say this as someone who held the Ibrahim Abu-Lughod Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Center for Palestine Studies. Boycott Columbia.
