Netanyahu, who is about to be indicted for corruption by his own Attorney General, is about to get the war he so desperately needs at this point.
Given the depth of legal troubles Netanyahu finds himself in, this time he'll need a longer conflict rather than a short term campaign - but one where Israel has complete hegemony. That means squarely Gaza.
Hamas in all of this is both an enabler and a pawn. They too are subsidised by violence - their approval ratings go up when there's war, and go down when there isn't.

Thread from last year
For weeks after tweeting this thread, I was called all sorts of names on this platform. They doubted my very Palestinian identity. They insulted me, my family, my mother, even my (four year old) son. They even called me "Zionist".
So here's me saying it again: Hamas is a destructive organization and its effect on the Palestinian struggle has been nothing short of a catastrophe.

Months after @JKhashoggi's murder, Arabic Twitter is still a sewer presided over by MBS's troll masters. Nothing has changed, in fact things have only gotten worse.
With things only getting worse, I won't be going back to tweeting in Arabic anytime soon. Arabic Twitter is owned by MBS now. It's not that @Twitter lost the battle, it's that it wasn't in it to begin with.
Arabic Twitter isn't a social medium any more. Arabic Twitter is the propaganda arm of MBS's media operations, and his prime weapon of social control, intimidating opponents, and delivering threats.

Today is the 9th anniversary of my dissertation defense!

To honor that great day / sh*tty, sh*tty document, here are the 9 things I've learned about surviving in academia since then:
1: extend grace to yourself and others.

Be kind to yourself. Believe the best of people. Forgive mistakes, including your own
2: study yourself! We are academics! We have the tools to understand the behavior of others, we can apply it to our own behavior!

Figure out what makes you work... and what demoralizes you!

Despite all the propaganda, authorities were only able to force 20 to 30 school kids to attend today's rally to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1979 revolution.

Voice says no one is attending the regime's rally to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1979 revolution.

Today is a day of huge participation for the yellow vest movement. There is significant presence in a huge number of locations today, but best of all Paris is a major conflict zone once more.

Seeing the cop on the left get kicked in the face is pure joy.
Everyone loves this boxer. He is turning into a meme on French meme sites now. "Le boxeur mythique", like a cop-bashing Technoviking. He definitely looks like some kind of Norman warlord.

The vests have returned in force to Puy-en-Velay, where a month ago they set fire to a préfecture (French equivalent to a federal building) with the head préfet still inside.

Someone may have told them of the Killdozer, because today they are menacing with heavy vehicles.

If this is true, it is NOT soon enough and for that I am sorry. For all who have died at this regime's orders. If this is true, I am glad that the end of war may be near.

Today’s the 39 anniversary of the Sandinista revolution. Managua is out to celebrate the apparent defeat of a soft coup that paralyzed #Nicaragua. I’m here to document a side of the story omitted by Western media. A thread follows on some of what I’ve learned. Vid & print later.
Yesterday I visited Radio Ya, private leftist radio station that is top rated in Managua and supplied social services to locals regardless of their politics. It was burned to the ground by the opposition. 22 staffers escaped with their lives.
Staff of @nuevaya work out of a small makeshift office now. Those working the night shift must sleep in to avoid right-wing violence. “We are hunted by hit men,” station director Denis Schwartz told me. Its sports reporters were recently accosted by gunmen on motorcycles.
