Brad, ur in Palestine. Pls exercise some humility. Listen more, lecture less. Framing the targeting of soldiers as a “cycle of violence” - rather than resistance 2 apartheid & genocide- while also not demanding US sanctions/arms embargo is asking Palestinians to die politely.
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.
“That is why I describe the current European project as a fortified retirement home: an aging population that wants to be left alone to indulge in its isolation, unbothered by anyone younger or less white.”

Rym Khadhraoui on why Le Pen and the far right will struggle to capitalise on the unrest in France:

Tbh getting a little nostalgic for the heyday of communization, when “ultraleft” referred to people with a coherent—if severe—political perspective. Now that word means “guy who spends his evenings devising a maximally psychopathic position within DSA.” Sad!
This is good. Some very grown-up leftists, apparently too intelligent for popular uprisings, are saying that the riots are LFI’s gift to Le Pen. But if Le Pen wins, it won’t be LFI’s fault, and this movement may be what pushes Mélenchon into a second round newleftreview.org/sidecar/po…

"The French uprisings will amount to nothing, thus no political engagement is needed with them" is an admission your own fruitless anti-politics. Your entire political being is in service of smugly declaring "called it" should repression shatter the momentum. It's detestable.
It’s always good to read Lordon and I’m glad Tribune published the English version of last week’s piece.
It would be interesting to know, however, why “une jeune fille noire” is translated as “a young girl.” Why can’t she be black lol
The people are in revolt, and the entire social order is collapsing.

this is a cynical view of Melenchon&LFI strategies in general that speaks more about the limits of liberal politics/analytics
Why would @JLMelenchon incite violence knowing it will help Le Pen? Because he wants Le Pen to win and he becomes leader of the opposition. His people talk of a third round of the election "on the streets" if @MLP_officiel wins. If so, Saturday's violence will seem mild.

This randomly being one of the most antisemitic tweets i’ve ever seen lmfao
The vandalism and destruction at the Capital One branch on 86th Street is deeply disturbing and unacceptable.
I have been in contact with the NYPD regarding this incident and have urged an immediate investigation, including whether this is a potential antisemitic hate crime.
There is no place for hate, intimidation or violence in New York City.

shoutout to JVP’s Break the Bonds campaign and the DC37 rank and file in City Workers for Palestine who organized tirelessly to make this victory possible
NEW: In his 10th month in office, @MarkLevineNYC has decided not to reinvest in Israeli bonds, breaking a campaign promise on a particularly fraught issue. He said he still supports Israel, but that the bonds aren’t strong enough investments:
nytimes.com/2026/10/14/nyreg… via @NYTimes
Need to snort a FAT line of whatever substance produces the thought “The comptroller’s decision not to resume buying bonds from Israel was the direct result of last week’s defiant intraleft protest at the vigil”
By the way if you’re “on the left” and brandishing this New York Post clickbait you have a mood disorder
(NYP) Zohran Mamdani’s team “pissed” over Darializa Avila Chevalier’s calls for Tisch to be canned: “Direct undermining of Mamdani”

Let’s stop using the term “purity politics” to describe some of the most mixed up people on the internet

Why is Julie Menin having breakfast with Trump supporting PragerU hosts to defend the SRG?
Pass the CURB Act to protect New Yorkers instead @JulieMenin
The Bad Side retweeted
The guy blocking the bill that protects protestors from the SRG is being blocked by a guy that talks shit about Chi and everyone that wanted to protest Zohran is missing and not pressuring the one guy in the way of the anti SRG legislation
MOMENTUM! Thanks to all of your calls and emails, a majority of the City Council is now signed onto the CURB Act. This bill would prevent the NYPD from infringing on our first amendment right to protest.
The chair of the Public Safety Comittee, @OswaldFeliz, is still blocking this bill from coming to a hearing even after the NYPD abused protesters in his district after ICE shot a man.
