MY LATEST: Several thousand American Jews have mobilized across the U.S. to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Anti-Defamation League calls these Jewish organizations "hate groups." https://theintercept.com/2023/11/11/palestine-israel-protests-ceasefire-antisemitic/

ADL publishes a map of "Antisemitic Incidents and Anti-Israel Rallies in the U.S. Since Hamas’s Attack on Israel." 46% of the points are antisemitic vandalism, harassment, and assault, much of it from neo-Nazis. The other 54% are anti-war protests which ADL calls "anti-Israel rallies"

Here are some examples of "Anti-Israel Rallies" from ADL's map, all organized by Jews:

  • Oct 16, blockading entrances to the White House
  • Oct 19, marching on Capitol Hill, hundreds arrested at sit-in in Capitol
  • Oct 27, Grand Central Station, largest sit-in in NYC in over two decades

"We’re seeing a genuine rise in antisemitic attacks and white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic hate and violence. When white nationalism is on the rise, to cheapen the accusation of antisemitism by applying it to Palestinian rights advocates, including Jews, is incredibly irresponsible and dangerous." - Eva Borgwardt, IfNotNow

Jewish protesters marching on the White House with a large "CEASEFIRE" sign
Roughly 500 Jews doing a sit-in at the Capitol, with signs saying "JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW!" And "MOURN THE DEAD AND FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR THE LIVING"
Several thousand Jews and their allies taking over all of the main terminal Grand Central Station in NYC

drakbailey,

@micahflee The inability (unwillingness?) to disentangle protest against Israeli foreign policy from ACTUAL antisemitism is gutting. Antisemitism is real and increasing. It is not the same thing as opposing a war. Thank you for covering this.

For all those doubting the Gaza Health Ministry numbers (which right now is 7,326 dead, including 3,038 children, and another 18,967 injured), here's a good summary of how the numbers are counted:

> The Gaza casualty numbers come mostly from doctors who diligently count every body brought into struggling hospitals, then send the numbers on to the Health Ministry for tabulation, The Associated Press explained regarding the accuracy of the death count. And while Hamas exerts control over the ministry, it's partly funded and run by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank — a key Hamas rival — and many of its civil servants predate Gaza's Hamas takeover. The United Nations and other international institutions and experts "say the Gaza ministry has long made a good-faith effort to account for the dead under the most difficult conditions," AP reported, and "in previous wars, the ministry's counts have held up to U.N. scrutiny, independent investigations and even Israel's tallies."

drakbailey,

@micahflee This upcoming Sunday, my church is observing All Saints Day. We would like to mourn those killed in Gaza. I know the Health Ministry released a list late last week with close to 7,000 names but now I can't find it -- the link has even been removed from Al Jazeera English. Do you know of a good source?

drakbailey,

@micahflee Thank you! We were hoping to either read the actual names or project them on a screen. It's All Saints Sunday and so we are remembering people we've lost in the past year.

drakbailey,

@micahflee THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thank you so much.

New: What are all these violent videos doing to us? The "golden age of brutal voyeurism" is redefining war and bringing gruesome scenes back home: "It’s like there are suddenly many more movie theaters in town, and some of them are much more friendly toward snuff films" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/10/24/israel-war-violent-videos/

drakbailey,

@drewharwell I research violent racial terror, and this really resonates with me! We can understand broad patterns, causative factors, and short- and long-term impacts without contributing to the (re) victimization and dehumanization of people. We can have compassion without needing to know the agonizing details.

Doing research that uses ZIP Codes as the smallest geographic identifier? Want to use them longitudinally? Better watch out for missing data or measurement error due to changing boundaries.

Luckily, my colleague Allison Helmuth (at Rice) and I put together this cool data crosswalk that covers 1990 - 2020...

Check out my new article, co-authored with some very swell gents. We find that lynch victims' surviving family members were more likely to move out of the county than were other people living in their census districts. People victimized by the US regime of violent racial terror respond the same way that other terrorism victims do. Implications for dispossession & reparations.

Dear Students: Exactly what are you asking for when you email a professor after you don't attend class and ask "what did I miss"? Class was almost 2 hours long. Asking for a friend.

The Denver Post reported that “Rep. Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a Sunday night performance of the Beetlejuice musical in downtown Denver, accused by venue officials of vaping, singing, recording and ‘causing a disturbance’ during the performance.” Oh please let there be video of her being led out!

One more time Ms. Boebert has been ESCORTed.

My new collaborative paper with Ryan Gabriel, Adrian Haws, and Joseph Price. We pose that lynching's effects on migration will be similar to those of other forms of violent terror. Using US census data from 1880 through 1930, we find elevated probabilities of out-migration for surviving family members compared to their neighbors.
