In which Jeet calls @IzaTabaro and @bariweiss liars.

See, Zionists are liars.

Why would anyone want to live with them?
Another liar I presume, Jeet?
I mean, no one would be so immoderate as to do that, right Jeet?
Whole cloth. People are tolerant of mainstream Jews, after all.
Jeet, are they lying, too? @HeerJeet jta.org/2021/05/21/uni…

This is…actually…true. And it's actually insane. As a wave of antisemitic assaults makes headlines, Rutgers condemned antisemitism—in a letter condemning all bigotry against all groups including Muslims—but then apologized after complaints from Palestinian students.
Please read the letters.

First:
newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/chancellor/spe…

Second: newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/chancellor/apo…

Can anyone defend this?
Jewish students at Rutgers should be incensed. So should Jews everywhere. So should Muslims and Asians and anyone else who have been targeted with waves of violence. And who hasn't.

Condemning a specific bigotry during a wave of that specific bigotry should be okay.

1/ There's a silly talking point, this time promoted in the @nytimes via Nathan Thrall, that says Hamas couldn't *possible* fire rockets at Israel from somewhere sparsely populated.

"There is almost no way to fight from [Gaza] without exposing civilians to danger."
2/ What Thrall means is that "there is almost no way to fight from Gaza's open spaces without exposing Hamas attackers to great danger."

Yes, Gaza's cities are densely populated. They're cities. But Gaza's rural spaces (*very* roughly marked in green) are sparsely populated.
3/ Hamas wants to operate from civilian areas because it's better for Hamas. Not because everywhere in Gaza is packed with civilians.

Hamas *wants to* attack from civilian areas. It doesn't *have to* attack from there.

1/ If you want any authority to lecture us about war crimes, @iamjohnoliver, then
* don't ignore the fact that every rocket Hamas launches is a war crime—you do;
* don't mischaracterize the concept of "proportionality" in war as meaning proportional causalities—it doesn't;
2/
* don't claim “destroying a civilian residence” is proof of a war crime—that's also not how international law works, and if you don't know how it works, don't pretend to.
* don't purport to be combatting both-sides-ism but ignore that one side—Hamas—is targeting civilians.
3/ don't pretend civilian casualties among Palestinians disproves that Israel is targeting militants;
* don't pretend "real estate disputes" don't involve evictions—that's usually what happens when someone chooses not to pay rent, as is the case with the four Palestinian families

Ouch. 2014 piece by former AP reporter Matti Friedman.

theatlantic.com/international/… Image
(Via someone liking someone screenshotting a Washington Free Beacon piece quoting the Atlantic piece in question.)
This 2014 video of an Al Arabiya journalist in Gaza realizing rockets are being fired from downstairs, was, according to some, the same media-and-Hamas building that was hit yesterday.

Not sure if that's confirmed. Either way, it's informative.

1/ Journalists being angry about something that feels close to home, as with cops who feel angry about something close to home, isn't a legitimate excuse to go professionally rogue.
2/ The IDF gave an explanation for the strike. To ignore it, or worse, effectively deny it, while purporting to describe the army's "real" motivation is journalistic malpractice.
3/ Israeli intelligence has proven once or twice before that it'ss able to correctly ascertain where things are, even things that are very far away. The building in question, a large office complex that also houses media offices, is not very far away.

It is (or it should be) surprising that a former Jerusalem bureau chief for the @nytimes missed the documentary's flagrantly manipulated quote, which prompted a PBS review. jta.org/2021/03/30/uni…
I'm actually just catching up on the details of this, and am pretty stunned by the degree to which the quote in Zinshtein's documentary was spliced and glued together. It's brazen. The word "including" is taken from the top to splice together two faraway passages. Image
