Today is the first day of Dhul Hijjah, one of the holiest months of the year in Islam. Today, two shooters attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego, which houses a school for young kids. My heart is with the community as its sense of peace and safety is so cruelly taken away from it. 🤍

Mamdani's Nakba video features Inea Bushnaq, NY Palestinian folklorist and historian. Many people point to her Bosnian roots, and the fact that her family arrived to Palestine in the late 19th century - at the moment when many East European Jews were also arriving - as some kind of Gotcha. 1/

For two years, I've watched some Americans on the left insist that there is no way anyone in Hamas could have committed sexual violence against Israeli Jews on October 7, 2023, or against hostages in Gaza, despite Amnesty documenting it. Now I'm seeing pro-Israel people doing the same denial.

Yesterday morning I stepped outside on my balcony for coffee with my wife and our neighbor. The drone was as low as it has ever been. We saw it over our heads. Below, our alleyway had turned into a parking lot for displaced people’s cars. A school next door is hosting around 1500 people.

2/2 This quote indicates why. Other parties’ scandals happen when members fall short of the party’s values. Reform’s happen when they enact its core values. Racism is the party’s very essence. Scapegoating & punishing certain segments of the population is the totality of its programme.

Thousands of refugees who believed they were months from settlement now face 15 years of instability after it was confirmed that Shabana Mahmood's overhaul of asylum rules would apply retrospectively.
