🚨Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin: “We have conducted precise strikes in Lebanon in order to thwart an imminent threat against the citizens of Israel. We are closely following developments in Beirut, and we are determined to use all the means at our disposal in order to defend our citizens"

I’m uncomfortable with my Jewish community claiming they aren’t “safe” marching in Pride following what I thought was a balanced and compassionate statement issued by @FierteCapPride condemning Oct 7, noting plausible genocide, AND calling for a ceasefire and hostage release.
Thanks Sir Richard for helping see a better tomorrow via @2states1homelan (A Land For All), the modified 2ss vision I’ve been working with. We met with @richardbranson last month to discuss the vision.

This is precisely what I heard from my kibbutz family (also located in the Gaza envelope, and attacked on Oct 7) when I visited with them on their kibbutz a few weeks ago. nytimes.com/2024/06/23/world…
Campus protests. GOOD: mostly peaceful calls to use non-violence for Palestinian freedom and dignity. AMBIGUOUS: River/sea and globalize/intifada slogans. BAD: calling for Jews to go back to Europe; calling for resistance by any means possible. Need a single standard.
The Conversation asked me to write an explainer on the campus #protests and #BDS. Here it is … theconversation.com/what-stu… #Palestine #Israel #Gaza
What’s the right blessing to recite upon learning that your brilliant student, TA and coauthor has been promoted to Full Professor? (P.S. Congrats Thomas!)

This is outrageous.
In another blow to academic freedom in Israel, the Hebrew University suspends internationally renowned Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian for denouncing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Suspension from teaching is justified in order to “preserve a safe climate on campus.”

My latest — in The Walrus
How one understands the war between Israel and Hamas is marked by a stark divide: while one side sees it as a war against Hamas, the other sees it as a war waged on the Palestinian people, writes @sucharov.

The hit show on Derek Penslar shows just how much some critics will do almost anything to shield Israel from criticism. I cannot think of a better person and scholar to co-lead @Harvard’s task force on #Antisemitism .
Sobering words from John Mearsheimer about the #genocide charges being brought against #Israel at the #ICJ @MearsheimerJ mearsheimer.substack.com/p/g…
“Hamas' campaign of rape against Israeli women is revealed, testimony after testimony.” From @haaretzcom Read it. Do not deny it. And do not use it to justify further atrocities. #CeasefireNow haaretz.com/israel-news/2023…
