All solidarity with my sister, the brilliant writer and human rights defender @SusanAbulhawa. And to the NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani , a message: I know you are afraid. But forget what your aides are telling you. Fear is not a sound basis for politics at this moment in history. The people want courage and principle. This paid zombie army of malicious Zionist trolls and their shamelessly complicit media organizations have no power but that which we grant them. If official institutions and people in positions of authority would finally stop the knee-jerk cowering and sacrificing of principle that they exhibit every time the trolls launch one of their clumsily choreographed attacks, or hurl their baseless smears, the Zionist trolls would fold like the paper tigers they are. They must not be feared. They must be exposed, confronted, denounced, and dismissed. Colonialism, Nazism, and fascism were all defeated through courageous confrontation. So too will Zionism fall to courageous resistance. The only question for each of us at this pivotal moment in history, including for elected officials, is, as the song goes, “which side are you on?”
