Raytheon, whose parent corporation RTX Technologies is Tucson’s largest employer with over 12,000 local workers, began supplying components to Israel’s Iron Dome missile system in 2014.
"Amid calls from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party for a cease-fire in #Gaza, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said in a CNN interview Sunday that despite his support for a humanitarian pause of the war, he does not see how Israel could achieve a truce with #Hamas, whose stated goal is the eradication of #Israel."
A Dangerous Conflation: Open letter from Jewish writers, artists, and activists:
"WE ARE JEWISH WRITERS, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. Israel and its defenders have long used this rhetorical tactic to shield Israel from accountability, dignify the US’s multibillion-dollar investment in Israel’s military, obscure the deadly reality of occupation, and deny Palestinian sovereignty. Now, this insidious gagging of free speech is being used to justify Israel’s ongoing military bombardment of Gaza and to silence criticism from the international community.
We condemn the recent attacks on Israeli and Palestinian civilians and mourn such harrowing loss of life. In our grief, we are horrified to see the fight against antisemitism weaponized as a pretext for war crimes with stated genocidal intent."
„During a recent interview with the Israeli radio station Kol Barama, Eliyahu said he was not satisfied with the scale of Israel's military response in Gaza in retaliation against Hamas. To this, the host asked if the minister might be in favor of using "some kind of atomic bomb" on the Gaza territory "to kill everyone."
My wife has been following the situation in #Gaza closely as she worked there in the humanitarian aid sector.
One Palestinian child is being killed every six minutes.
There are monsters in this world. Between Hamas and Netenyahu, both calling for religious war and total annihilation of the other, the innocent people have no chance, and no hope as kids are being murdered.
It makes me want to cry. Leaders want war, the people need peace.
Talk or condemnation of Oct. 7th without the context of the last seven decades of Medinat Yisrael's violence is shallow, uncaring, unserious, and imperialist.
No form of Palestinian resistance, or any colonized folk, has been seen as acceptable. "Not this way" is not the rebuttal of peace you think it is.
Being a terrorist means nothing when the countries calling you terrorists are on stolen land, stolen by terrorism.
Israelische Armee teilt Gazastreifen ind Nord und Süd auf
Der Gazastreifen ist nach Militärangaben von israelischen Truppen vollständig in zwei Hälften geteilt worden. Soldaten haben demnach Gaza-Stadt eingekreist. Die Luftangriffe wurden erneut ausgeweitet. Auch in Israel gab es wieder Raketenalarm.
Pretty clear that a lot of people thought it’d be a slam dunk to conflate support for the Palestinians and outrage over civilian deaths in #Gaza with support for Hamas and they’re becoming unhinged discovering that so many people, especially younger people, aren’t buying that bullshit.
People spend hours in line for some bread, braving the hellfire of Israel's warplanes. Flour has run out in the south. Everything has changed, and life has reverted to a state of bare existence
From focus on the 'soft voice' of extremist #MikeJohnson to soft-selling #Trump's dictatorial plans to calling killing civilians 'a crater,' something's very wrong with the #media today
It's called cowardice
From Gaza City to Capitol Hill, a cowed media is chronicling the death of democracy in a passive voice
@GottaLaff indeed, it took the mainstream media years into his term, to even call Trump a liar, but “the failing NYT” didnt waste any time to immediately send push notifications of #FakeNews blaming #Israel for #Gaza hospital strike —courtesy of, and to the delight of Hamas terrorists. SAD!
In a society where every incentive reinforces & rewards outrage & chaos, it’s no wonder the world is on fire & the response is more powder kegs.
Rabab Abdulhadi on receiving the ASA's Angela Y. Davis Award for Outstanding Public Scholarship: "Inaction is not an option. We must place the voices and liberation of Palestine and all oppressed at the center of our scholarship, pedagogy and advocacy."
N.Y. Times writer quits over open letter accusing Israel of ‘genocide’
The New York Times announced in a note to staff Friday that Jazmine Hughes, a writer for its magazine, resigned after violating newsroom policy by signing an open letter that accused Israel of trying to “conduct genocide against the Palestinian people.”

Jewish communities in Europe were made scapegoats of the plague. They were accused of deliberately poisoning wells and thus causing the plague, and such associations between plague and Jewish communities led to #pogroms in various parts of Europe.
