Israel’s genocide in Gaza is every antisemite’s fantasy come true

Israel’s genocide in Gaza is every antisemite’s dream come true

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

RSF and Avaaz launch international media operation calling for the protection of Palestinian journalists: “At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed” rsf.org/en/rsf-and-a...

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.

A puzzle indeed

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….

The comforting story: Gaza’s genocide & West Bank’s ethnic cleansing are the work of a “fringe” gov’t. This is a classic moral disengagement strategy The reality: These policies rest on broad social, political & institutional complicity. Until this is faced, nothing changes. A thread ⬇️

A boat carrying Ethiopian people trying to get to Yemen has capsized. The death toll has risen to 76 since this story was published.

What Israel needs to do immediately if it does not intend to starve Palestinians in Gaza. Anything else is just virtue signaling: * Allow large amounts of food to flow through Gaza everyday via all entry points distributed via 100s of distribution points (1/2) www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I ask my myself how can I - as a Jewish Israeli - interact in an academic context with people who deny, deflect or otherwise support the Genocide in Gaza?

All of us have a moral responsibility to condemn and act against Israel’s genocidal actions. But some have more of a responsibility than others. If someone has spoken out about related issues - e.g., Oct 7, pro pal protests - silence about Gaza is read (by me at least) as complicity.

Israeli human rights organizations B’tzelem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel conclude that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and call on Israelis and the complicit international community to use all the tools available under international law to stop it. www.btselem.org/press_releas...

Urgent Call to End Starvation and War in Gaza It would mean the world to me if you could join me by adding your name to this petition. Every name that is added builds momentum around the campaign and makes it more likely for us to get the change we want to see. my.zazim.org.il/petitions/ur...

This is part of the reason why I have suspended all travel to the United States indefinitely. A Swiss teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York with friends but instead was detained, shackled, and sent off to a detention center in New Jersey. No thanks! www.nzz.ch/english/you-...

One genocidal act is “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group”. Because of Israel’s assault on Gaza (starvation, attack on healthcare system) there is a 41% decrease in birthrate compared to before Oct 7 2023 and 33% of children are born prematurely news.un.org/en/story/202...

Stop the genocide!

Attacking the WHO is part of a pattern of actions against organizations reporting on Gaza and attempting to protect civilians. It’s difficult to see this as anything other than a strategy to clear the way for the next series of atrocities.

I really do not think many of the pro-Israel Jewish folks understand just how much Israel will never be seen the same again. From liberal Zionist to far right, many exist in a media bubble, and have a mistaken impression they are the mainstream. They are increasingly in an alternate universe.

Every day, every hour is crucial. We must do everything in our power to stop this.

One reason that some people don’t oppose a genocide is simply because they cannot believe it. It’s so far from their representation of who they are, of who their government is to be true. Thus allegations must be driven by hate or stupidity

During these terrible days of Israel’s genocide in Gaza , it’s easy to come to the false conclusion that conflict is inevitable and rests on deep differences such as attachment to different types of religious belief. The JPSP paper described by Mikey in this thread below is a nice antidote.

Now out in JPSP! Behavioral economic experiments w/ Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews in the U.S., Israel and Fiji show that belief in God can facilitate cooperation, even across religious divides!

Genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and remaking of Israel into a Kahanist republic: this is the hegemonic political project in Israel, and it will not disappear even if there's a cease fire or new elections. It won't stop unless it is named, confronted and defeated.

Investigations report that the IDF is using drones to kill Palestinian civilians who attempt to return home. Another war crime to enforce ethnic cleansing and genocide. www.972mag.com/drones-grena...

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said on Monday he'd ordered preparations for a plan to force Gaza's population into a “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah. Holocaust historian Amos Goldberg calls it a "concentration camp" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Hate speech like this has no place in opposition to genocide. It just sets the stage for the next one

Israel’s latest vision for Gaza has a name: Concentration camp Unable to immediately expel Gazans en masse, Israel seems intent on forcing them into a confined zone — and letting starvation and desperation do the rest. Meron Rapoport wrote back in April www.972mag.com/israel-gaza-...

Truly imagine if Mamdani had used the word “Shylock.” It would have quite literally destroyed his career and every org and leader calling him out would be making this into a month long news cycle. Trump? Hardly a peep. When you accept antisemitism from the president, you aren’t fighting it.

My new op-ed in the @nytimes. I argue that Iranians are caught in a state of “moral paralysis,” a psychological trap set by the Islamic Republic itself. It pits two of our most sacred values against each other: liberation vs. self-determination. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/o...

We are all different but we are also all the same. We have different bodies, different lives, but our hearts are the same - Elio

Just it put things in context: in the last three weeks over 300 starving Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces trying to obtain aid in Gaza

Before the State of Israel was created, Zionists smuggled Jewish refugees from Cyprus to Palestine by boat. Now they are going the other way.

As the sun sets tonight my thoughts are Iranians and Jews and Palestinians greeting the evening with fear. Like many of us watching from afar i am consumed with worry about those I care about. May this madness stop soon.

Seven wks ago the PA governor's mansion was firebombed in an antisemitic attack. Less than two wks ago two people were murdered in DC in an antisemitic attack. Last night eight people were injured, at least one critically, in Boulder in an antisemitic attack. Murdering Jews won't free Palestine.

I think this analysis is correct. The only explanation for the behavior of the Israeli government is that they are seeking the destruction of Palestinian society in Gaza and ethnic cleansing.

i saw gazans being burned alive on here and it was the most horrific thing i ever witnessed and i can’t imagine anyone who was devastated by that thinking that the correct response is to do it in turn to people half a world away who simply want their friends and family back

We condemn in the strongest possible terms this act of violence against participants in a walk for Israeli hostages still in Gaza.

And to think: there are many academics who support or excite the Trump policy because they have had their conservative feelings hurt by people not liking research in the name of white supremacy

This post by Liz Truss is a straight out mix of antisemitism and white supremacy.
