Never getting off this app, etc etc. Image
Look there's more. Image
Of course it is. Image
Every single time. Image

There's just a bottomless pit of these. Image
Who would've guessed. Image
Even more. Image
Um, people? I don't really know what you're supposed to say when a tweet does numbers? Human rights + access to opportunity shouldn't depend on where someone is born. Take care of your neighbors, let them take care of you. You can get me a coffee if you feel like it, tips in bio.
Thanks for the love, y'all are the best 🙏

If there’s credible intelligence that a hospital is used by enemy combatants, isn’t there an obligation to ensure patients have a safe, adequate alternative (i.e. a field hospital, etc) before incapacitating the hospital? Hamas was long gone by the time the IDF arrived anyway?
What I’ve been unable to process this whole time is that if you accept - as I do - that it’s unjustifiable for Hamas to operate among civilians because it puts their lives at risk, where is the justification for the IDF to harm or end the lives of those very same civilians?
If the answer is “this is war”, meaning it’s acceptable for the IDF to harm civilians when engaged in armed conflict, how does one conclude that only Hamas endangering civilians in armed conflict is unacceptable?

Again, not justifying Hamas. I just believe both are unacceptable.

This was really difficult to write. I wrote it to Jewish people who disagree with me about Israel - if somehow you still follow me at this point, I hope I've earned enough goodwill to ask you this. I'm going to turn off replies, and please just take some time to think on it.🧵
I asked myself many times why I was writing this. I'm cognizant of different audiences it might reach, and no matter what I say, I can't do justice to everyone's experience. But ultimately, in this moment, explaining why I say the things that I say is the only thing I *can* do.
I also debated if it was appropriate to post this now. But again, ultimately, in this moment it's the only thing I can do. If you're not Jewish, or if you are but you don't think now is the time - if you choose to continue reading, I ask you the same. Take time to think on it.

If you asked me about my politics on Oct 6, I'd say I'm a progressive who's registered as a Democrat so I can vote in NY primaries. If you asked me to expand, I'd say that my politics were far to the left of the Dems, but I vote for them to mitigate harm.

If you ask me today, >>
I'd say that I don't have politics, I have values.

If you'd ask me to expand, I'd say that my values, at their core, are universal human rights and equal justice. I couldn't care less where on the political spectrum that lands. >>
Political theories should be *tools* to help shape your values and define your goals.

If theory *is* your values, gross human rights violations, war crimes, crimes against humanity - they all become justifiable as a means towards a political end. >>
