"I was wrong to support Israel", declares a Conservative MP. The winds are shifting. Sooner or later, everyone will realise that Israel's genocide is one of the great crimes of our age.

Arresting someone simply for writing an op-ed (which is all the government alleges) is totally deranged. One of America’s greatest strengths is our expansive commitment to free expression. Speech is not free if it’s restricted on the basis of the speaker’s identity or opinions.

100% true. The (very) few Marxists in the American academy were against the creation of area studies and ethnic studies, seeing them as forms of ghettoization and marginalization, and for science, math, the classics. No one loves opera and the classics like old school Marxists.

NYU is withholding the diploma and formally investigating the grad student who noted "the atrocities currently happening in Palestine." Endless punishment for those who criticize Israel's war. The school's excuse: the speech he submitted for approval didn't contain this.

A student addressed the genocide in Gza during his graduation speech. In response, NYU is withholding his diploma and said in a statement that it "is deeply sorry that the audience was subjected to these remarks..." (!!!!!!) Let that sink in.

I watched my dad die from advanced prostate cancer. But then my dad didn’t arm a genocide and facilitate the total destruction of a health care system, condemning other cancer patients to death. Joe Biden is a monster. He should be treated by medics while he’s in prison.

Incredible—After shooting at diplomats from nearly *two dozen* countries, the Israeli military says it "regrets the inconvenience caused." The diplomats are from China, Brazil, India, Russia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, France, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, the UK, Egypt, and more

The reason for the aggressive crackdown on speech critical of Israel -- forcing colleges to enact broader "hate speech" codes, banning TikTok, laws criminalizing BDS or even Pro-Palestinian speech -- is borne out of this desperation to just use force to stop Israel criticism.

Which group of people is to be held responsible for these recent violent acts below? Since we learned today that it's not just the individual murderer to blame but anyone who supports the cause he claims to have supported, which ideas and groups of people caused these murders?

Ehud Olmert, the former PM of Israel himself, now says that what Israel is doing in Gaza is a "criminal war of annihilation". And yet Western politicians and journalists cannot bring themselves to acknowledge this fact. It is absolutely wild.

I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will. I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Having run out of children to kill in Gaza, it appears Israel is now targeting children in Iran. This was Tehran just hours ago.

We can’t defeat fascism in US w/out defeating US imperialism abroad. The lib resistance to Trump must understand connection btw fascism at home and US violence abroad—including support for the genocidal, fascist, extraordinarily belligerent Israeli regime. No kings means no war.

“The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon.” These are the words of the Israeli defence minister. They represent the honest, candid strategy of the Israeli state. Israel is at war with the people of Iran, just as it is at war with the Palestinian people.
