art vs artist :)

A Kristallnacht commemoration organized by a left-wing (antizionist) Jewish association in Amsterdam had to be cancelled - not because of the threat of antisemitism, but because of the presence of the zionist nationalist Maccabi supporters.

All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!

a Zionist asks Chomsky what he thinks about the statement that Israel should not exist, and whether he is horrified by it and thinks it's anti-Semitic and genocidal. He responds: "Actually, I agree with that." And adds that Zionists are the actual genocidal ones.

This is Sylvia Gonzalez. At age 72, she won an upset victory for city council after campaigning to oust the city manager. The mayor didn't like that. So he had her arrested & jailed. The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.

A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German politicians absurdly labeled my Berlinale award speech - where I called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians, a ceasefire and an end to apartheid - as ‘antisemitic’. The appalling misuse of this word by Germans, not only to silence Palestinian critics of Israel, but also to silence Israelis like me who support a ceasefire that will end the killing in Gaza and allow the release of the Israeli hostages - empties the word antisemitism of meaning and thus endangers Jews all over the world. As my grandmother was born in a concentration camp in Libya and most of my grandfather’s family was murdered by Germans in the holocaust, I find it particularly outraging that German politicians in 2024 have the audacity to weaponize this term against me in a way that endangered my family. But above all else, this behavior puts Palestinian co-director Basel Adra’s life in danger, who lives under a military occupation surrounded by violent settlements in Masafer Yatta. He is in far greater danger than I am. I’m happy our award winning film, No Other Land, is sparking an important international debate on this issue - and I hope that millions of people watch it when it comes out this year. Sparking a conversation is why we made it. You can have harsh criticism of what me and Basel said on stage without demonizing us. If this is what you’re doing with your guilt for the holocaust - I don’t want your guilt.

really cool how my fall 1L grades were v good but I’ve been vocally pro-Palestine and this is the same industry that revoked a bunch of offers based on pro-Palestine sentiment and I haven’t gotten a summer offer hmmm idk it could be unrelated but my Twitter’s private now

Zionists often accuse Jews who criticize Israel of being “self-hating Jews.” Here’s a 🧵that dismantles this trope and counters it with a view of anti-Zionism as an affirmation of humanity. 1/13
