In Mondoweiss they misread the numbers. According to the article in Haaretz, the 64% refers to Israeli citizens, including Palestinians, who agree that "there are no innocents in Gaza". If you do the math based on the number provided, among Jewish Israelis the right number is 76%.
A Hebrew University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis agree with the genocidal idea that there are “no innocents in Gaza.”

The current constitution—written by slaveholders in the 18th century—has brought us to this crisis. Without envisioning a new one, there is no path forward.

If we ever escape this mess, we should rebuild universities as democratic institutions. The current system elevates sycophants to top administrative positions in higher education. Had the faculty elected the Columbia "leaders", the latter wouldn’t have collaborated with the regime.

I can't believe people seriously talk about the next election as a way out of this mess. In Trump-controlled states, the regime controls the voting registration and the counting. Dems would never win a majority in the House under these conditions. Flood the streets, strike, shut the country down.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Netanyahu has held up a mirror to Felix Klein and Bernard-Henri Lévy. By legitimizing him, they have, in turn, legitimized the extreme right in their own countries. They failed to see it—until Netanyahu forced them to confront a harsh and uncomfortable truth.

MAGA leaders are immoral, corrupt & dangerous. Many Dem leaders lack courage or a sense of urgency about the threats we face. But most of them (not all--AOC is an exception) are also devoid creativity or a commitment to progress. They're addicted to the status quo.

In 1992, uproar erupted in the Israeli parliament when Palestinian MP Tawfiq Zayyad compared a right-wing MP to Jean-Marie Le Pen. It was deemed an insult. Today, the leader of Le Pen's party is welcomed as an official guest of the Israeli government. Israeli society has lost its shame.
