How is ‘antisemitism’ invoked in The Jewish Chronicle? @gordonneve.bsky.social shows how the paper has exaggerated & instrumentalised the term, fueling moral panic & legitimising racial governance especially around Oct 7, 2023. #OnlineFirst

During the Vietnam War students across the US protested against the war, demanding to stop it. In Israel students have decided to strike, demanding that the state conscript the religious Jews into the military, so that they can share the burden of genocide.

As the STARVATION continues, the IDF has been pummelling Beit Hanoun with F-16 jets and bulldozers supported by tanks and infantry. IDF spokesperson now boasts that it managed to achieve its military objective: a handful of rusty rifles found in a tunnel.

Fantasies of a post-genocide Gaza. Israeli Minister Gila Gamliel posted an AI video of how Gaza will look like following the genocide, clean of Palestinians, when Trump and Netanyahu and their respective partners can enjoy the boardwalk on the beach.

In El Salvador it is immigrants flown in from the US and in Israel it is Palestinians, often kidnapped from their homes. These prisoners are humiliated, tortured and suffer from medical neglect. The goal is to deny them basic human dignity.

From Al Shifa, Al Ahli, and Nasser in Gaza to Mariupol in Ukraine and Soroka in Beer-Sheva striking hospitals is a war crime and only an absolute #Ban on targeting medical facilities will ensure that they are protected.

In the late 1980s Israel provided support to #Hamas in an effort to weaken #Fatah. Now it is supporting Palestinian clans with ties to Jihadist groups to weaken Hamas. I wonder how this will pan out⬇️

Late March 2025 Israel's Supreme Court unanimously rejected a petition submitted a year earlier calling on Israel to allow food and aid into Gaza. In this 2 part essay Muna Haddad and I show how the Court deployed three major strategies to legitimise starvation. Links to the essay below.

They are weaponizing the discomfort experienced by some Jewish students amid mostly peaceful pro-Palestinian protests to suppress academic freedom, freedom of speech and independent research at America's most prestigious institutions. And when they succeed, they will indeed blame us, the Jews. 4/4

Then, the U.S. Government imposed further multi-billion dollar freezes on research funds to Cornell, Northwestern and Harvard Universities, citing concerns regarding antisemitism on their campuses. As another colleague said: "How does cancelling a cancer grant protect Jewish students?" 2/4

Must read by @KaminskiMed in @haaretzcom:

When a trainee mentioned that their grant was cancelled by Trump Administration cuts, the person sitting next to me sighed and said, "and now they will blame us for this mess." He meant the Jews. 1/4
