My conversation with @maricohen.bsky.social associate editor at @jewishcurrents.bsky.social is now up on the public feed.

One of the most important conversations I've had all year. A fascinating/sad/mindbending discussion about the rifts forming within Genocide Studies & more.

Can Genocide Studies Survive a Genocide? (Ft. Mari Cohen)

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6h

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

You don't hate Jake Tapper enough

Jordan Uhl @jordanuhl.com · 4h

Remarkable. This piece, written by Jake Tapper, helps construct a pretext for Israel to resume full-scale operations in Gaza.

Zero mention of the *multiple* attacks by Israeli forces over the past few days.

Instead, he writes, “But so far, the tenuous ceasefire has held.”

Trump tells CNN that Israeli forces could resume fighting in Gaza "as soon as I say the word" if Hamas won't uphold ceasefire deal https://cnn.it/4qdKot3

starting to suspect their claim to want to fight antisemitism isn't being made in good faith zeteo.com/p/if-trump-c...

If Trump Cares About Fighting Antisemitism, Why Did He Pardon These Jan. 6 Insurrectionists?

Some praised Hitler. One wore an ‘Auschwitz’ hoodie. Another gave a Nazi salute. The MAGA insurrection was a festival of antisemitism.

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 9h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Why Is Trump Making Excuses for Hamas?

The president seems undisturbed by the terrorist group's campaign against dissidents. In fact, he seems to admire it.

His official invite and her imprisonment/torture happened roughly around the same time! Tells you a lot.

• Prison was 40 degrees but no water was given to Greta and her friends for days

• People fell sick. Guards mocked them saying they would gas them, showing them cylinders

• She was kept in solitary confinement for hours with bugs
