I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/

I love this guy.

🧶 I think people here are not quite aware of the scale of catastrophe Israel is facing beyond the massacre. I don't want to compare it to Gaza. Israel is a rich country and has not been under siege and massive airstrikes for decades. Still, the situation is dire:

A big lie we are being sold is to suggest the anti-Israel demonstrations on our streets are all about human rights concerns. They say that any support for violence is just an outlier. In reality the opposite is true. Just look - thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I've always wanted an immediate ceasefire in every round of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in the last 20 years. However, like almost the entirety of the Israeli left, we think that a ceasefire is not an option. If you are interested, here's why:

„The Palestinians deserve better than Hamas and it‘s strange more pro-Palestine campaigners aren’t saying this. Many are insisting Israel find a peaceful solution - yet how does it do that when Hamas is dedicated to its eradication?“ Hadley Freeman

A month ago, at this hour, I had to tell my two daughters - 3.5 years old and 20 months old - that they must remain completely silent. No word, no cry. It was 7AM, they had just woken up in a dark room with no electricity or food, and five people were shouting outside the window.

The pseudo-academic discourse around this war, with hysterical vocabulary being hurled at Biden for supporting Israel after the attempted murder of my daughters, is totally irrelevant, except for the purpose of helping Trump, a long-time dream of suicidal elements on the left.

The bottom line is, a country that doesn't retaliate in the most forceful way after terrorists kidnap an eight year old from her bed, simply won't exist. Especially not in the Middle East. That doesn't mean Israel should be shielded from any criticism during the war or after it.

I am old school left in the sense of: "try and empathise with the other side" "try and see their humanity" "try and find some way where both sides can get what they want." I don't know what the hell has happened to modern leftists. They seem full of hate.

Ich habe meine Kritik bisher nicht namentlich geäußert, aber nachdem Deborah Feldman heute wieder im MoMa saß, möchte ich einiges klarstellen. Feldman darf (in einem rechtlichen Rahmen) sagen was sie will, auch im Fernsehen.

Wie tief kann man sinken

in honor of his birthday let's remember what mads mikkelsen said about appearing in the music video for "bitch better have my money"

Ein neuer SZ Magazin-Podcast: In „Dämon“ begibt sich Marvin Xin Ku auf die Spuren eines mysteriösen TikTok-Exorzisten (ja, das gibt‘s), gegen den Frauen schwere Vorwürfe erheben. Warum stoppt ihn niemand? Und: Was hat eine umstrittene Diagnose damit zu tun? sz.de/daemon

crazy that there’s two guys called levi strauss and one of them gave us structuralism and the other one gave us jeans. one of god’s silly little jokes I suppose

I am not sure it makes the top five of the current issues re: #Gaza, but there is surprisingly little complaining that the Gaza Strip is not accessable for war reporters from outside. And I am saying this as a journalist. (1/)

I think the reality break between the reaction to the debate and the stakes of this election comes from: 1. An inability to self-regulate 2. An opportunistic chance to shiv Biden for policies you don't like (mostly Gaza) 3. A disdain for the Democratic party (never Trumpers)
