This is bullshit. The genocide is a historical fact, and regardless of why it passed today, it's ludicrous to demand that a century-delayed resolution encompass every other atrocity known to humankind before it can gain approval.
This is pretty much verbatim how Israel apologists dismiss Omar's criticism of Israel:

Earnest thread for all reviewers of this book:

Two months ago, Bari Weiss lied about my Jewish art, insisting I was a *Nazi* — at a time when actual Nazis are on the march in America — because my Jewish traditions are not the same as hers, (1/6)
...because I celebrate Jewish culture in ways she insists should be verboten, and because I think Palestinians deserve suffrage. In other words, she knowingly abused and weaponized the horror of antisemitism in an attempt to destroy the career of an anti-Nazi artist. (2/6)
At the same time, Weiss has eagerly courted and normalized personalities and venues such as Quillette that give platforms to actual Nazi allies — the kinds of people who deny the Holocaust and who openly seek to exterminate the world’s Jews. (3/6)

Once again, those who have methodically normalized Neo-Nazism in America are pretending anti-Nazi artists are the real Nazis. Looking forward to Stanford next week!
It’s especially funny that these antisemitic shitheads chose a panel used by @New_Voices_Mag on a tote bag for a 2012 conference sponsored by The Forward and JTA. For Republican trash, it’s fit to call every Jew, and every Jewish organization, a Nazi.
Yup. Here's the full comic, which Stanford Republicans couldn't begin to comprehend, because their revulsion for actual Jews blinds them to even the concept of vibrant, living Jewish conversation:

Historical fact: After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, about 20,000 or so Jews fled the country.
Like in many communist countries after WW2, jews held significant positions in the Hungarian communist government. After the Hungary revolution of 1956 many of the people involved in the tyrannical government, and their collaborators, fled the country.

1. @POTUS Trump and @RTErdogan have something in common. They will both be charged with #genocide. Trump will be tried in the US under 18 USC 1091. Unless #Erdogan is dumb enough to come here, it will likely require a #Nuremberg style war crimes tribunal.
2. Turkey, like the US, does not subscribe to the International Criminal Court. But we have a criminal statute that makes it a capital crime. I don't think Turkey has a genocide statute. Turkey is a genocide repeat offender. #Armenian #Christians were among their major victims.
3. The crime of genocide requires "specific intent" to effect the result of destroying in substantial part "a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group." For Erdogan that's easy. Many times he has professed his intent to exterminate Kurds. This is his "kill Kurds" hand sign

Today in the world of astrophysics we celebrate the 100th anniversary of an eclipse. But not just any eclipse. This one provided the first observational evidence to the theory we've been using for a century to make sense of the Universe. So, thread #1919Eclipse #onceacosmologist
The theory is Albert Einstein's general relativity, presented in 1915. Why an eclipse, though? Within general relativity, we understand gravity as the way objects that have mass interact with their environment, aka spacetime. Which by the way isn't flat but curved & flexible. Ha!
Massive objects bend spacetime, and with it the paths of everything that moves in it. Including light particles (which by the way have no mass). To test this, you need a massive object in the foreground and sources of light in the background. Like the Sun and the stars, right?

#Fact: Did you know that In January, February and March of 2019, 8,493 people were murdered in #Mexico, they say that this is the most violent first quarter on record that is a jump of 9% above the start of 2018, which was a record at the time.
They also say that the City of "Mexico City" experienced a 46% increase in the number of homicide victims compared to the first quarter of 2018 with that of 2019. #Mexico
I also made a news article on the crime increases in Tijuana the border city to the #US! That 14 people got killed in a 24 hour mark in #Tijuana. sotiridi.com/world/14-peopl…

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
