Finkelstein’s comment: A few months ago I started corresponding with a Palestinian-American who is serving time for second-degree murder. He was 16 years old when he went to prison. He’s now 20, and still has to serve several more years. He recently wrote me that he’d given up on friendship after his only two friends […]

A Jailed Bird’s Plaint by Ahmed Hamadi Read Post »
Israel is ever attuned to the US news cycle. It has predictably escalated its genocide in Gaza as the Kamala Harris candidacy replaced Gaza as the top news story. The past few weeks have been particularly gruesome: another day, another massacre of innocents. The New York Times plays its assigned role. Desperate to appease its […]

My Mother once told me the story of an emaciated woman in the Warsaw Ghetto who would wail from her window sill that all the Jews in the ghetto would be killed. She came to be called Cassandra, after the prophetess of doom in Greek mythology. Everyone just assumed that she was mad. My Mother […]

Historian Benny Morris supports Prime Minister Netanyahu’s resolve to attack Rafah (“Israel’s Security Depends on Rafah,” NY Times, 11 April 2024). Normally home to 280,000 Gazans, Rafah now also contains 1.2 million internal refugees swept into the city during Israel’s massive ethnic cleansing the past six months.

The last time billionaire Bill Ackman was heard from, he perpetrated the most brazen assault on academic freedom in our country’s history. He engineered a coup that toppled Harvard president Claudine Gay by publicly threatening to withhold megabucks in alumni contributions if the Board of Trustees did not dismiss her.

This morning the New York Times reported the findings of the IDF “investigation” into the WCK killings: “grave mistake … errors in decision-making.” It’s a mystery why the Times ran this redundant story. It had already determined what happened yesterday BEFORE the “investigation”: “mistakes and misjudgments.” How did the Times know this ahead of the […]
