- It is just horrifying to hear what is happening at The New School. A vibrant place with an extraordinary legacy is being gutted by mismanagement. Feel for all the faculty, staff and students.

- Reposted by Jeremy GingesA horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...
- After a two year campaign of genocidal violence, Israel has not succeeded in meeting any of its objectives. Hamas still holds power, almost half the hostages were killed (many by munitions from the IDF). The majority of those returned alive were returned in the November 2023 ceasefire.

- Hamas’s statement, that Trump seemed to welcome, has flipped the script on Netanyahu. Essentially they have taken us back to the third stage of the last ceasefire agreement - the agreement Israel broke to avoid the very negotiations Hamas is calling for.
- I’m filled with horror hearing about the violent synagogue attack in Manchester. Messages of solidarity like this one have helped
- Reposted by Jeremy GingesManchester Council of Mosques have issued this statement in sadness, shock and solidarity with the Jewish community about this attack at the synagogue in Manchester
- Israeli social psychologists have published a letter condemning the actions of the Israeli government. I welcome the letter. I also fear it does not go nearly far enough. Thread ..
- Breaking a hiatus to post this. A group of Israeli Social Psychologists, myself included, wrote a letter to speak out clearly against the Israeli government’s decisions and the resulting devastation in Gaza. docs.google.com/document/d/1... In hopes of peace and safety for all, and soon
- I look back on this post and see the “well done” was wildly overstated. @ispp-pops.bsky.social action in opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza is welcome but it is shameful that clear statements of condemnation and clear calls for action were not made beforehand.
- The genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza will be a stain on Jewish identity for all time. It will involve a transformation of our conceptualization of who we are. We are now part of a collective that carried out a genocide.

- Well done to ISPP. It’s a painful statement for me to read, but it’s important to stand in clear opposition to genocide.

- Israel’s genocide in Gaza is every antisemite’s fantasy come true
- Israel’s genocide in Gaza is every antisemite’s dream come true
- I think many of us share this feeling of despair. The silence of governments, of friends, colleagues, communities is shocking still. Perhaps we are living in a different world to the one we imagined

- Israeli anti government protests that ignore the genocide in Gaza, that ignore the suffering of innocent civilians, are worse than no protests at all. They are signifiers of the very mentality, dare I say culture, that caused the genocide.
- The pro Palestinian campus protests have been effectively silenced because the discourse of those protests made people feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, it’s striking how comfortable and silent the same people seem to feel about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Israel is starving children.

- Apartheid and violent oppression of Palestinians is supported by Israel as a whole: the government (not just this one), the legal system, the army, universities….
- The comforting story: Gaza’s genocide & West Bank’s ethnic cleansing are the work of a “fringe” gov’t. This is a classic moral disengagement strategy The reality: These policies rest on broad social, political & institutional complicity. Until this is faced, nothing changes. A thread ⬇️

- What Israel needs to do immediately if it does not intend to starve Palestinians in Gaza. Anything else is just virtue signaling: * Allow large amounts of food to flow through Gaza everyday via all entry points distributed via 100s of distribution points (1/2) www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
- I ask my myself how can I - as a Jewish Israeli - interact in an academic context with people who deny, deflect or otherwise support the Genocide in Gaza?
- All of us have a moral responsibility to condemn and act against Israel’s genocidal actions. But some have more of a responsibility than others. If someone has spoken out about related issues - e.g., Oct 7, pro pal protests - silence about Gaza is read (by me at least) as complicity.
- Israeli human rights organizations B’tzelem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel conclude that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and call on Israelis and the complicit international community to use all the tools available under international law to stop it. www.btselem.org/press_releas...
