Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza isn’t peace—it’s an ultimatum. Palestinians are told to disarm, abandon legal claims of genocide, and accept foreign control, while Israel retains the right to “finish the job.” A ceasefire that erases justice is no peace at all, writes @coastsofbohemia.bsky.social.

I have a new piece in Canadian Dimension on the Gaza genocide. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

NEW: What’s happening in Gaza isn’t a tragedy, it’s policy. A deliberate effort to erase a people. And the West, fully aware, keeps supplying the weapons and covering with words. This isn’t just happening on Israel’s watch. It’s happening with our permission, writes @coastsofbohemia.bsky.social.

Hello Robin.

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:

every fucking democrat who says that there was nothing biden or harris could have done to take the question of a FUCKING GENOCIDE off the table before they lost a fucking election over it needs to shut the fuck up forever.

What does it tell you about the contemporary US—its people, its culture, its education system, its self-images—that it has contrived to elect two demented psychopaths in succession to the highest office in the land? It’s terrifying.

see this is the problem with liberals it's all about the veneer of respectability with you, not the actual crimes against humanity Biden simply aided Israel in a genocide But Trump wants to build a resort once the rubble has been cleared and the bodies buried? oh, now that's a bridge too far

JUST IN: After criticism, the National Park Service has restored an old Underground Railroad webpage that prominently features Harriet Tubman.

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Go back in time and tell yourself that one day the fucking MTA will do more to stand up to authoritarianism than Congress, the Supreme Court, and Columbia University *combined*

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Liberals: "You just have to unquestioningly vote for the Democrats for decades, especially when their policies hurt you, and eventually they'll listen to you. You: "Muslim Americans voted Democrat for decades and were told to kick rocks when they opposed genocide." Liberals: "Enjoy the camps!"

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

If anyone is interested, here are links to all my writings Gaza genocide over the last year. open.substack.com/pub/dereksay...

As a winner of the American Historical Association’s 2014 George L. Mosse Prize, I am delighted by today’s vote in favor of the AHA condemning Israel’s scholasticide in Gaza and American complicity therein.

The doctrine of discovery strikes again. Today’s NYT has long article “Israel loosened its rules to bomb Hamas fighters, killing many more civilians” which is presented as a NYT scoop. The facts were reported in Israel in April and publicized by me among others: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

There are a few different rankings online, some more flimsy than others. But pizza is in the top five of most of them.

Just today, the UCP Government House Leader did a happy dance in the Legislature when talking about Donald Trump winning the US election. Alberta energy & agriculture producers sure won’t be doing a happy dance. Terrible - but predictable - news for Alberta’s economy. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

If Kamala Harris had been less adamant in her insistence that “I’m speaking!” and more willing to move on Israel, she might have persuaded enough of Biden’s 2020 voters to support her. Instead, they either flipped or stayed home.

New from me and @acatwithnews.bsky.social for @lcrw.bsky.social: 8 months after the UCLA Palestine encampment attacks, few of the perpetrators face charges- but none charged for attacking pro-Palestinian protesters and press in Pico-Robertson in June leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/mon...

Don’t quite know what to say about this …

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, how can the continued sale of arms to Israel possibly be justified?

I don’t understand some North American progressives’ infatuation with Denmark. Sure, it has a developed welfare state. It also has appallingly racist policies toward ethnic minorities and is in dire need of decolonization. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza. For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing. How they’ve responded is shocking. Watch all 300 days here: zeteo.com/p/300-days-a...
