California squirrel's flying attack is finalist in national wildlife photo. The image itself of a squirrel leaping out of a tree directly toward an owl that has sighted it, and whose yellow eyes are wide in surprise.

Thread about racism against Arab citizens in Israel, inspired by people arguing in @charltoncussans.bsky.social's mentions about whether it is similar to Western anti-Semitism. It isn't; it misses most items but not all. It can be analogized to anti-black racism in the US, but still imperfectly.

"You must give us money or there will be a coup" is tantamount to voter suppression, and should be treated as such.

I live next door to two day care centers. One is religious Jewish. The other completely secular. The Jewish one always has a security guard. The secular one doesn't. Being forced to budget for staffing security is pretty clearly systemic antisemitism.

The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

stop apologizing to people who come at you over this and just block them. they aren't engaging in good faith and they don't have a good or justifiable argument. they are actively fighting against the adoption of common-sense gender neutral language that helps everyone

People should always use the pronouns you’ve specified in an interaction - as in “please use she/her” or whatever There is no special group of trans people whose correct pronouns need to be prioritized over *someone else’s* correct pronouns. “They/them” sends the “I am not birth-gendering you” msg

The fact that prosecutors don't think they can prove genocidal intent ought to be instructive, and the insistence by organizations that they have divined intent should be cause to doubt their credibility. They're out on a limb, and there won't be any consequence for it because it's Israel.

Do you know who are the most precise scholars on the distinctions between a genocide and war crimes. The prosecutors at the ICC. Their indictment charges Netanyahu, rightly, with war crimes up to and including crimes against humanity. So not apologists. You know what charge they did not level? Yup.

I was a comparativist rather than an Americanist, so maybe I'm missing something, but the two-party system seems to be the result of some deeply embedded Article I stuff, the effect of which is to in-house coalition politics

I know this is inconvenient for all parties because we would rather shadow box with our preferred ideological champions, but neither the current government of Israel or Hamas are especially reasonable; they are actively committed to Making Things Worse. Even Fatah is an uneasy bedfellow.

It's me, hi. I'm the blocker, it's me. For context, this was a response to an argument about how pulling US precision weaponry could end up killing even more Palestinians and, like, if you think Israel's army is a bunch of hooligans, you definitely don't want to force them into a ground war, right?

The way this works in the US is the left defers entirely to the epistemic authority of Palestinians, regardless of how intolerant or illiberal their views, while granting epistemic authority to Jews only insofar as they can be called upon to explain why the objections of other Jews can be dismissed

Yeah like this all comes back to "non-Israelis do not accept or understand that Israelis really felt an existential necessity to win against Hamas," which is understandably foreign to those of us - especially Americans - who are accustomed to being an ocean away from any of our enemies.

There is absolutely no outcome where more people dropping bombs in the Levant results in FEWER deaths. If your problem is that America didn't go to war with Israel, your problem is that not enough Israelis were dying. So say that.

I was not expecting to block a mutual among others this evening but I'm sorry I cannot tolerate the theory of mind these people operate under where the key to getting Israel to stop killing Palestinians is more dead Israelis at the hands of US armed forces Fucking delusional, and good riddance.

By January 2024, Biden was trying to overthrow Netanyahu by encouraging a palace coup. He was interacting with Israel via Gantz, who the Biden administration was trying to crown. It didn't work, partly because Bibi had too much control over his coalition, partly because Gantz wasn't interested.

(The idea that Biden didn't pressure Bibi, or only lightly pressured him, is unheard of in Israeli media. Opinions are divided on who was right in that dispute, but "Biden let Bibi off easy" is not a recognizable take from the other side, and quite a lot of people also get the timelines wrong.)

I get yelled at here whenever I describe what the political effect of Biden's very overt pressure on Bibi was and what worked and what didn't, because I'm essentially telling Americans that foreign media and societies matter and are useful to learn about, and Americans are incurious so they lash.

Yes. Many things are complicated! Territorial disputes are always complicated! Reconciling two contradictory & mutually exclusive nationalisms is complicated! "It's complicated" is not rejected because it's false, but because it is not empowering, & what these people want is a feel-good FP cause.

This is ultimately why organizations such as Standing Together are rejected as allies by much of the radical fringe - because their goal is no longer mutual peace & understanding, but absolute victory & renunciation of an entire people & culture, no matter what is claimed otherwise.

This needs to be discussed more, imo: one of the greatest successes of the pro-Palestinian radical fringe has been to convince people mutual understanding or a view of the I/P conflict as a sectarian conflict are "hasbara," & to immediately reject it in favor of the Palestinian perspective.

Somehow none of this will matter, because, again, all folks *actually* wanted was to feel morally pure. They did not *actually* want fewer dead Palestinians. They wanted to feel free from culpability.
