University protests against Israel's war in Gaza are spreading across the U.S. After multiple Columbia University students were arrested last week for refusing to leave an encampment, arrests were made at Yale University today.
Daily Beast has a recap of what's happening, including new protests at New York University and the University of Michigan: https://flip.it/2MJY.s

i spend my time mocking #MAGA and #vatniks
but due to recent news, i'm going to point some vitriol at another audience right now:
criticize #Israel govt / #Netanyahu all you want. 100% ok
but any #antisemitism or hatred of #Judaism / #Jews makes you a pathetic piece of sh**
change, douchebag
you're as #fascist as MAGA
and some more bile for some others:
criticize #Hamas all you want
but any hate for #Palestinians, and you too are a fascist #bigot
it's a f***ing shame i have to say this

In Chinese political jokes, The acts of #Israel in #Gaza made Adolf Hitler ascend from the hell.
That does remind of something: should Israel's genocidal acts against #Palestinians continue, #antisemitism will rise from its banishment to see the light of the day.
World Central Kitchen says it has 276 trucks with eight million meals ready and will resume distributing food in Gaza nearly a month after seven workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike. "Ultimately, we decided we must keep feeding," the charity said on Sunday. BBC News reports: https://flip.it/moViEt

As pro-Palestinian #protests continued to escalate across the country, ofcls & students at #BrownUniversity set a rare example on Tues: They made a deal.
Demonstrators agreed to dismantle their encampment at #Brown, which had been removed by Tues evening, & university leaders said they would discuss, & later vote on, divesting funds from companies connected to the #IDF campaign in #Gaza.

#Trump says #police raid on university #protesters 'beautiful to watch'
Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”

BREAKING: #Israeli private investigator arrested for cyberespionage on behalf of American PR firm.
Caught by UK under #RedNotice from 🇺🇸US while boarding a flight.
BIG TWIST in a wild case that began w/our @citizenlab investigation into indian hack-for-hire group #belltrox
Sound familiar?
Because Amit Forlit is the *second* PI from #Israel arrested in similar way for this case.
First = convicted.

Since October 7th, I've joined protests, fundraising events for Gaza, and students on university campuses.
As a Jew and someone who has a ton of friends and family in Israel, I want to share some thoughts on claims of antisemitism in student encampments and the broader Palestinian solidarity movement:
President #Biden said for the first time Wednesday he would halt shipments of American weapons to #Israel – which he acknowledged have been used to kill civilians in #Gaza – if Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu orders a major invasion of the city of Rafah.

In yet another bad sign for #democracy:
#Netanyahu has essentially banned #FreePress in #Israel. His cabinet *voted* to kick #AlJazeera out of Israel says its #journalists are threats to #NationalSecurity.
I guess the pen truly is mightier than the sword & all that.

#Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu says that the operations of Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera will be closed in the country.

If they continue on this trajectory, Israel is gonna turn itself into another right-wing culture war item and that will not serve them well.
“The tone of this letter is not reflective of the fact that the U.S. is the primary guarantor of Israel’s security. An unaware reader would assume that #Israel is the superpower in this relationship and the U.S. the recipient of aid.”

#Israel wants to “move people out of harm’s way,” a military official said, a sign that it may be inching closer to invading the Gazan city in defiance of international pressure

In #Israel, thousands of protesters are marching on the Ayalon highway and police are making arrests. They want their govt. to accept the deal with Hamas.
Inside the #WhiteHouse Scramble to Broker a Deal in #Gaza
The flurry of actions underscores how fluid the situation in the region is as #POTUS #Biden & his team try to ultimately end the #war that has devastated Gaza.
Over the course of a few hours, the news from the #MiddleEast came into the WH Situation Room fast & furious.

Israeli children, likely belonging to communities of settlers and religious-messianic Jews, having fun destroying aid supplies meant for Gaza.
Useful context is that one of the most common one-liners I hear from Israelis, to this day, is: "the conflict will end when they stop teaching their children to hate us".
