Ta-Nehisi is 🎯🎯🎯 Lots of talk about Israeli elections this week but it’s important to remember that no matter who people champion as the most “moral” opposition to Netanyahu, Zionism is inherently racist and there is no participation in this state system that does not subjugate Palestinians.
“One of the problems we’re having in America is that there are a lot of people who are still under the if-but-for Netanyahu fantasy” Ta-Nehisi Coates on the inherent racism of Zionism. From the powerful conversation between Coates, Tareq Baconi and Nesrine Malik last week.

Case in point lol
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”. What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure. In what world is that left wing?

With great sorrow, Al-Anqa Library, which rose from the ashes and soared, is on the verge of closing due to exorbitant operating costs—rent, electricity, water, and internet. I have all hope in you to support the library so that it may continue. Do not let the phoenix return to the ashes; do not let this place, which serves as a sanctuary for all poets, writers, and readers in Gaza, be closed. Please help us keep going. Please donate and share the campaign. chuffed.org/project/200344-e…

If you are willing to travel to the occupied West Bank to help with protective presence but unable to give up your fantasy of a free and democratic Israel...what are you doing, really?

I am glad my grandfather returned to his creator before he could witness what has happened to his beloved olive harvest season. He spent the better part of his life tending to the trees like they were his own children. He would be heartbroken if he had to see this every day.

Nothing to investigate. This was filmed, documented and witnessed. This happens to Palestinians (even the dual American nationals) all the time and no one does shit. Stop expecting the Israeli state to do anything other than provide cover for its soldiers and settlers.

I think we need to be a bit more demanding at this point as a press corps about accountability and consequences for attacks on journalists (including, and especially, our Palestinian colleagues) in which the Israeli govt/forces are implicated.
