Israel has a habit of doing this to humanitarians and human rights activists. I will never forget what they did to Rachel Corrie.

They sold out to whatever propaganda billionaires fed them long ago and they’ve never come back from that. Their values are deeply individualistic if they hold any at all and humanitarian work makes them look bad and feel bad.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Chuck Schumer suggests it is antisemitic to say what Israel is doing in Gaza is a genocide. Yet some of Israel’s own top scholars of genocide and the Holocaust, all of them Jewish - Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Daniel Blatman - say it is a genocide in Gaza.

Does Schumer consider them antisemite too?

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:
