Francesca Albanese, pencil drawing: "Many Israelis I've engaged with keep on asking why--why there are no sanctions. Because of political alliances--but also because I do think many people have not understood how deeply entrenched we all are with Israeli crimes. And not only Israeli crimes-

I talked to Jared Levy for Interview Magazine in 2013: "There’s something paralyzing about being a writer that you have to escape. I don’t want to think of myself as a guy who’s written a bunch of books. The 26 letters distance us from our own hesitations--" www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/nich...

Medea Benjamin on Substack medeabenjamin.substack.com/p/trumps-war...

Medea Benjamin: "This is not about nuclear weapons. It’s about regime change. U.S. efforts to overthrow governments—from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya—have brought nothing but devastation. Regime change fantasies ignore the sovereignty of nations and substitute military might for political solutions. Iran is a complex, populous country with a proud history of resisting foreign domination. Trying to overthrow its government would almost certainly plunge the region into deeper turmoil, with massive civilian suffering and global consequences."

"This war had goals other than military victory," writes Israeli scholar Ilana Hammerman in Haaretz. "Increasingly, it was waged in the spirit of the calls from senior politicians, ministers and Knesset members, as well as generals, to destroy Gaza – www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025... (paywall)

Bernie giving a speech in May of last year: "No, Mr. Netanyahu, it is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – seventy percent of whom are women and children."

I think it’s really good that people are protesting in their own states and cities because it shows that these protests are community driven. Americans can fix this authoritarian slide. They can fix it, but running for office in their own cities and towns. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
