Yes. Unfortunately- that is what I’ve felt for a long time

Friends, a funny but cautionary tale of how wrong GROK gets things.

I am neither Jewish, nor "Whitewashing myself" nor Antisemitic. Follow this thread my pal @maassp.bsky.social posted..you may need to go back to Peter's account to follow the whole damn thread...which gets comically absurd

These statements make clear that she condemns antisemitism unequivocally, while upholding her right—and encouraging public discourse—to critique the policies or actions of the State of Israel without branding that criticism as antisemitic.

“And standing up for Palestinian human rights is not Anti‑Semitism. I condemn that in any form.”

In both statements, Janine di Giovanni clearly denounces antisemitism while also affirming that criticism of Israel’s actions—including on humanitarian grounds—is not equivalent to antisemitism.

There is no indication that Janine di Giovanni is antisemitic. In fact, publicly available statements reflect quite the opposite:

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote:
“Antisemitism is abhorrent. But speaking out against #Israel slaughter of civilians in #Gaza is not #Antisemitism.”

Peter: so weird. Here's what CHATGBT says:
"There is no reliable evidence that Janine di Giovanni is Jewish. Her background, as widely documented, is that she was born in New Jersey to Italian-American parents (both mother and father of Italian descent) and raised in a Catholic environment"

Israel has just wiped out an entire Al Jazeera unit!

“What’s happening in Gaza is deliberate, inhumane, and beyond any justification. No decent society can stay silent.”
— Janine di Giovanni (@janinedigi.bsky.social), CEO and Executive Director, The Reckoning Project (@trpforjustice.bsky.social)

"(the EU) could reclaim its place as a regional power, not just a trade bloc. ... Most importantly, it could demonstrate that the EU is not just a cheque book for humanitarian aid but a credible broker for peace."

I've been fortunate enough to work under one of journalism's best editors @DavidMFriend1 who is leaving @VanityFair after 27 years. Here's our last reportage together, out in this month's issue. I returned to #Syria after a decade away...to find a new country.

wait - so because he's blonde and European and his kids are blonde it's more of a tragedy than a Palestinian or Syrian or Haitian being dragged away by ICE Goons? They also have good jobs and good standing. They're just not blonde. Just saying.

Tragedy: Jewish couple killed in DC. Shooter WAS NOT Arab or Palestinian.

It's called "a red line."

West Bank: @IDF shoots at diplomats from Ireland, France (countries condemning Israel's actions in Gaza) Italy, Turkey diplomats.

No "red line"

@TheEconomist is now saying 100k may have died in #Gaza

How many hypocrites who were afraid to take a stand will now come forward and finally condemn #Israel for their genocidal policies in #Gaza?

But it's too late

Too many dead, too many maimed, too much pain.

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Thank you @SweMFA for hosting @TRPforJustice's conference "Human Rights in a Turbulent World" in Stockholm last week. Sweden supports our urgent work tracking 19k Ukrainian kids deported to Russia. We at @TRPforJustice are deeply grateful to the Swedish people for their commitment to justice.

Another friend wins #Pulitzer2025 ! @MosabAbuToha my dear friend, who worked side by side with me in #Gaza - I am so very proud of your courage and your stand for what is right, for your commitment to human rights. And for Gaza

“We spend our days between looking for water and food and charging batteries so we can see at night, and waiting to die,” said Mohammed Murtaja, 25. He lives in Gaza City with about 40 relatives and eats once a day at most.
