#Palestinians, like anyone, will fight back against an ethnic cleansing that started in 1948. People need to look at the whole picture, not just a curated side view.

Many people think Americans are stupid.

I have long tried to argue against this.

Americans (specifically the GOP) make this REALLY hard.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

I believe they need evidence showing probable cause before they can *legally* detain a person. They apparently routinely get away with not meeting that legal requirement, so the entire system (Trump, Biden, the whole lot) are "above the law", unfortunately.

some helpful reminders:

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Despite the ceasefire talks, and Hamas’ offer to release all captives in exchange for a permanent truce, Israel dropped leaflets on Gaza that promise to continue ethnic cleansing. The leaflets promise to implement Trump’s plan to “impose forced displacement upon you whether you accept it or not.”
