If ever there were doubts that the occupation is a millstone round Israeli as well as Palestinian necks.

'Did the Americans, when they were fighting the Nazis for four years, establish what would happen the day after?'

Yes, yes, they did. With their allies.

Sigh. Again.

Amen.

Most Jews and Palestinians want peace. Extremists, narcissists ​and other ‘allies’ only block the way | Jonathan Freedland theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yep. All this. And this esp. is redolent of David Baddiel / 'AsaJew-ism': 'For some, already alienated from the Jewish mainstream, it prompts a bitter denial of the fact that much anti-Israel campaigning is indeed antisemitic, and that their own participation provides cover for that.'

Like the man said, 'weeds'. If this is the future - let alone present - of Israel and Palestine, the future looks terrifyingly bleak. #israel #jewishterror

Sobering news about Willy Maley. Like many, I was taught by him as an English Lit student and recall him being one of the least intimidating but most inspiring lecturers. Now he's using his experience to help others - still continuing to inspire.

More madness. Israel needs sane, responsible leadership capable of ending the occupation and extricating it from the OPT. For its own good. #IsraelPalestineWar #Gaza #Israeliselfharm

As it was once put to me: 'If Bibi wishes you good morning, first check it's actually morning. Second, you can be pretty confident it won't be good.'

'either Netanyahu is ousted... or the US will be convinced that the bilateral ecosystem has faltered and warrants a major reassessment of relations.'

Bibi's legacy could inc. demise of democratic Israel as well as resurgent int'l antisemitism. Terrifying

Biden's promised 'Come to Jesus ' meeting

Not sure if this is much of a surprise to anyone, but here we go again. Apart from anything else, @ICJ arguably in particularly invidious position here. #IsraelGazaWar #nowinners

So Bibi's government is creating an #Israel Prize in 'Heroism' but not awarding in Science and Humanities.

Where on earth did this notion come from, who are the nominees, and who are the judges?
