What you call the “Jewish center” were parties (Bennett, Liberman) every analyst considered as far-right a few years ago.

🚨 SUDAN: At around 8 pm local time yesterday, a drone strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces hit a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. A second strike also hit a civilian neighbourhood. The Nyala Teaching hospital, which we support, saw over 150 wounded people.
“This is appalling. Markets, homes, and key civilian infrastructure are not targets. All parties to the conflict must protect civilians.”

SAF air strikes kill 102 unarmed civilians in Nyala, with a 113 more wounded during the attack.
Bombs have reportedly hit residential areas across the city, including the Tongonaj Market.
The attack comes as part of a broad aerial campaign in Sudan with the SAF continuing to target civilian areas despite calls for de-escalation and peace.

Lander needs to make the journey Avi Shlaim did from liberal Zionism to anti Zionism imho
Exclusive: Israel revoked entry permits for Brad Lander and other US Jewish figures after they were detained at a West Bank olive harvest last week.

I hate this condescending whataboutism. Yes Bret, if the interior minister of Japan was a right-wing religious zealot using US taxpayer money for ethnic cleansing, they would probably be better known.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

“You take the victim and make the victim the perpetrator.” I hear versions of this argument a lot but it doesn’t make any sense. No category of person is fixed through history as one or the other. Many (most?) have taken a turn as both victim and perpetrator depending on context.
“To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild.”
Broadway icon and Nobody Wants This star Tovah Feldshuh gets real with Jonathan Harounoff on UNSCRIPTED, on acting, marriage, the global rise of antisemitism, and what she says about the genocide accusations against Israel.
Full episode drops Monday, October 26 on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Just listen to this.
Then consider these polls:
76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025)
82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025)
47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

I know of no other place on earth where the shooting of two soldiers leads to the displacement of 2000 people who had no connection to the shooting other than being in the neighbourhood.
דיברתי עכשיו עם חברים פלסטינים מחברון, אלפי פלסטינים פונו מבתיהם מהרגע להרגע לא כי הם עשו משהו, לא כי הם יודעים משהו, לא כי הם הביעו תמיכה במפגעים. רק בגלל שם שכנים של שני פלסטינים שהרגו שני חיילים שלנו.
זאת עזפיקציה של הגדה המערבית, ממשלת ישראל יודעת שלהרוס את הבתים של לפחות 2,000 פלסטינים חפים מפשע זה לא מביא ביטחון.
אבל זה כן מביא את תחושת הנקם שהמתנחלים מתענגים עליה בריקוד שלהם על דם החיילים הצעירים שאיבדו את חייהם.
המתנחלים רוצים דם אלימות ואפרטהייד אנחנו רוצים חיים ושלום בין העמים. גם ובעיקר על זה הבחירות

As reputable news outlet, I would certainly hope Drop Site News would knowingly publish "illegally" obtained classified CIA intelligence, as would any serious journalist if the information was in the public interest.
Did @DropSiteNews knowingly publish illegally obtained classified CIA intelligence?
On October 5, the outlet co-published Aída Chávez’s story claiming a secret CIA assessment warned Israel could descend into civil war.
That date is now in an FBI leak affidavit🧵

I’d be a little more sympathetic to these cloying rejections of “violence” from liberals if they dropped comparable 300 word statements decrying it every time an Israeli murders two Palestinians.
But they don’t, of course. That would mean 10 statements a day. And there’s the rub
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.
