5 minutes I held in my stomach for too long about the war crimes in Gaza, the silence of the media & the members of the Knesset from the left

💥62% of the Israeli public wants the war to end in exchange for the hostages' freedom– but the coalition wants to continue the war even if it costs the hostages their lives.
This is unsettling. Codifying the IHRA definition of antisemitism privileges the political interests of the state of Israel & suppresses discussion & activism on behalf of Palestinian rights.

we are supposed to believe that the young people working to end mass slaughter are the threat and that the riot squads sent in to brutalize them are the peacekeepers
The Israeli media’s unbending self-censorship in covering the Gaza war has made Israelis incapable of seeing foreign criticism — including protests on U.S. college campuses — as anything other than antisemitism, writes @saragusti.

The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education.

"Like their association of civil rights & peace protesters w/ communism throughout the Cold War, politicians on both sides of the aisle are now broadly hurling claims of antisemitism against anyone protesting Israel’s war in Gaza, many of whom are Jewish."
