Tel-Aviv, calling for an agreement to end the war, return the hostages back alive, and stop the killing of innocents in Gaza. What will bring safety & security to ourselves, our families, our two peoples? Not siege and occupation. Only Israeli-Palestinian peace.

In its second reversal today, UT Austin now says students arrested in protests will be allowed back on campus *for any purpose*—two hours after saying they would only be allowed back for "academic reasons" and the same day it distributed flyers saying those arrested were fully banned!

Something tells me neither Cotton nor his buddy Hawley would have supported deploying the National Guard to Little Rock in 1957, which says a lot about their eagerness to deploy it to college campuses today.

Eisenhower sent the 101st to Little Rock.
It's time for Biden to call out the National Guard at our universities to protect Jewish

The Mothering of the Exodus

The midwives sneered and moaned about the Israelite women's laboring, they are cattle, they said, they drop children like sows in the field, nothing to be done.

Their eyes flashing behind kohl, Breath bottled in their dry throats as Pharaoh nodded, A gullible man bedecked in amethyst and self-import.

a lie, a lie, a lie, The midwives went on rolling gauze and mashing poultice for pain and feverWhile Jochabed wrapped her baby's swaddle tighter than she had been taught, no colic, a miracle, her neighbors made a cacophony when he cried for his supper, No babies here! Just a stubborn mule who brays like a newborn! A broken bowl! A domestic squabble! Leave us to our troubles! Jochabed passed every pinch of extra flour to her neighbors, Grateful tears seasoning every loafThe basket was rough-hewn and tarred to repel the festering Nile Jochabed wept as the current swept it from her hands, biting her lip til she swallowed blood. No one must see her weeping.

"May the reeds carry you to Zion." But heaven's roads never did lie straight.

The Promised Land was Bithiah's hands whose delight at his rosy cheeks could not have surpassed God's own "Surely this is an Israelite child, who is

commanded to die in the river's maw" she said, clutching the wet babe against her finery. Her attendants stood mute, lips pursed, their Israelite palms cold.

She smiled the smile of a confederate, "Come. Let us announce him to Pharaoh. Let us call him Moses for the reeds that brought him here. Burn the basket."

It is possible to (1) deplore how Columbia University's administration is reacting to the on-campus protests and (2) also think it is very bad that a bunch of ghoulish, antisemitic opportunists have taken it upon themselves to hang out just off-campus, harassing Jewish students and celebrating 10/7.

There are a lot of unverified reports right now. Both Israel and Iran confirmed that Iran has fired drones/ballistic missiles. We won’t know for hours what is hit. Suggest everyone wait for updates from a news org they trust because this is the type of environment where clout-seekers spread crap.

Detailed explanation here of what is happening. Most optimistic scenario is that the missiles and drones are mostly intercepted and avoid civilian targets, allowing both sides to consider the matter closed for now.

All aid orgs working in Gaza have the permission of the Israeli government to be there. They have to identify their people and equipment with the government. They register and receive approval for the routes their aid vehicles will travel. The IDF knew who was in that vehicle and struck it anyway.

If this were an earnest mistake from security forces doing counterinsurgency in a complex environment, it would still be an unacceptable crime. There is no world where a single armed militant, if there was one, is lawful justification to shoot up an aid convoy. This one belongs in the textbook.
