I genuinely can’t think of anything more antisemitic & more offensive towards the Jewish community in Britain than saying that protesting against the killing of children should be suspended out of respect for British Jews.
I urge anyone thinking about protesting this weekend to recognise and respect the grief of British Jews. This is a moment of mourning. It is not a time to stoke tension and cause further pain. It is a time to stand together. We are a country that welcomes all people, no matter their faith, to stand under the same flag as neighbours and friends. That is who we are and who we will always be. Hatred and violence will never win.

התמונות של רבבות העזתים העושים דרכם חזרה לביתם החרב בתופים ובשירה נתפסות על ידי רבים בישראל כתבוסה והשפלה. אבל עבור הפלסטינים, ועימם כל מי שליבו לא קהה לגמרי מרוב שנאה ונקם, זהו רגע היסטורי, שבו הובסו פנטזיות הגירוש והטיהור. מאמרי: mekomit.co.il/ps/145375

I conducted an analysis of return-in-finally in real world Python code. TL;DR: - it is not used often - when it is used, it's usually used incorrectly - code authors find it easy to fix Full Report: github.com/iritkatriel/final…

I wrote about the many ways that Israel has made trauma a weapon of war. About how this exploitation betrays the victims of the past. And creates many more victims in the present. It was hard to write. It will be hard to read. I hope it helps. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

It’s the story of the US as well.
This is the real story of Israel: While Netanyahu gives a smug ass speech in congress - Carmit Palty Katzir, who's father & brother were murdered on October 7th and her mom kidnapped, is arrested by Capitol Police for wearing a shirt demanding Netanyahu to "Seal the deal"

From an era when the United States already had the cynical and corrupt political leadership of the sort it has today, but there were American officials and elder statesmen who actually understood the world and were serious about policymaking.
Watch this from Brzezinski. If it looks like a different America it’s because it was a different America. What a fall

I'm crying at this brilliant piece by Jewish comedian Orit Matlow mocking Zionist responses to anti-genocide protests. "Raytheon is my cousin."

Growing up in Israel, the conversation about the Holocaust always included "where was the world? why didn't anybody save our grandparents?" I find it truly incredible that @HenMazzig can now say to @OwenJones84 "why is Gaza any of your business?"
I was asked why I cared about Gaza. Here's my very brief response.

“I think it would be written as the beginning of the end of the Zionist project,” says Israeli historian and professor Ilan Pappé. Pappé added that Israel’s current war on Gaza may be “the darkest moment in the history of Palestine, but it was the darkness before the dawn”

Israel’s declared ground offensive on Rafah would be catastrophic and must not proceed. Today's announcement marks a dramatic escalation in this ongoing massacre. There is no place that is safe in Gaza and no way for people to leave. doctorswithoutborders.org/la…
