A nauseating review: Israel has killed 30,000 Gazans, at least 12,000 of whom are children, some targeted by snipers, others dying of enforced starvation, as Israel denies humanitarian aid (which 68% of Israelis support: bbc.com/news/world-middle-ea…), all funded by the US...

Its makers were trying for a satire. Instead Americans said “yes I want that!” (both game and system)
There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.

"I found Adorno’s infamous line about poetry after Auschwitz helpful here: 'To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric'; to write [ethnography] during Israel’s wars of annihilation is… barbaric. Sounds about right... But we must bear witness, and we must write" by @mu_kha2

but: "What language can hold such rage and such sorrow? What words can keep a world now completely shattered whole? What tense does one write in? Where does one stand and speak when there is no ground beneath and no horizon? And who is the audience?" ctjournal.org/2026/06/09/on-…

Facing the largest halftime lead by a road team in non-bubble NBA Finals history, and a dead silent Madison Square Garden, this declaration is when the comeback started.

"She belongs in the historical record as what she was: not a fallen icon, not a tragic figure exceeded by her circumstances, but the head of a civilian government that performed, willingly and by its own design, the functions a genocide requires."

And the difference: Palestinians didn’t do the Holocaust. So to bring up the Holocaust as it relates to the expulsion of Palestinians isn’t about “missing context” but about justifying Zionists ethnic cleansing because other people harmed Jewish people elsewhere

The New York Times criticized Zohran Mamdani’s Nakba Day video, suggesting it lacked sufficient historical context by focusing on the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians without including what the paper indicates is necessary context about the Holocaust, the 1948 war, and the attacks surrounding Israel’s creation — a level of historical framing rarely seen in mainstream reporting on Palestinian attacks against Israel.

I didn’t realise until now what a brilliant speech Professor Derek Paterson gave at the University of Michigan. You must watch it, if you haven’t already.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of addressing the graduates @UMich commencement. I spoke about the long history of student activism, which has moved the University toward justice.
Here is a video. It has caused a furore on social media & in UM admin.

Over the past year, @anandspandian and I have joined forces with our students and the remarkable folks at @BaltimoreSouth to produce a 4-part documentary series on the history of environmental (in)justice on the city’s southern edge. It’s called “Polluted By Design.”

American barbarity is bipartisan

The actual, official 2024 Democratic Party platform accused Trump of "fecklessness and weakness" for failing to go to war with Iran during his first term.
Kamala Harris labeled Iran the #1 enemy of the United States.
In their 2024 debate, Harris repeatedly slammed Trump for being too soft on America's enemies and announced that she "will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel."
There was no "plan" for avoiding this. Your people wanted this war as much as Trump and his handlers did. That's why they're doing nothing right now.

Israel is attacking Iran’s historical sites,
But Iran can’t respond the same way because Israel has no history. 🙄😂

The University of Washington appears to have removed a professor, Aria Fani, from his position as director of the Middle East Center because he criticized Israel and stated that the claim that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon was untrue.

Wonderful essay by Nancy Fraser on how her mentor “Habermas at first revivified critical theory but ultimately ended it,“ for “over the years the light he cast flickered and waned – until, with his stance on Gaza, it seemed to go out.”

Beware the foreign correspondents who have gotten nearly every aspect of this conflict wrong from the get-go stating breezily that Iran will NEVER do this or will NEVER do that. None of them has spoken to a regime figure in 3 weeks. They know nothing more than you.
