#JewishCurrents | #ColumbiaU's surrender

"#PeterBeinart and #Columbia professor #NadiaAbuElHaj, who also serves as the co-director of the Center for Palestine Studies, spoke just hours before this shocking development, but their conversation probes what’s been happening at Columbia and #Barnard, and what’s at stake—both for the study of #Israel / #Palestine and for the future of #higherEd."

Mahmoud Muna on the Attack on his Bookstore

From #PeterBeinart substack
Video/Podcast

Feb 18, 2025

On Sunday, February 9th, Israeli police raided both branches of the East Jerusalem Educational Bookstore and arrested its owners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Muna. They were released on bail after two days in jail, but are banned from entering their stores for the next two weeks. During this difficult time, Mahmoud graciously agreed to talk with me about his experience.

To help with the legal costs Mahmoud and his family have incurred as a result of the raid, and the security they now need because of right-wing harassment, they have launched a GoFundMe Campaign.

Because of the importance of disseminating Mahmoud’s story, and his need for financial support, I’m making this video available to free as well as paid subscribers.

#PeterBeinart on 'Being Jewish After the Destruction of #Gaza ' and trump's call for #Genocide

NOTE: I have a question for historians and other experts. Isn't the term '#ethniccleansing' a term created in the 1990s (war in Bosnia? The Balkans?) as a euphemism to minimise the depth of the woprd 'genocide' and wasn't it seen as insulting for Milosovich (or someone, IDK), to say that they were 'ethnically cleansing a people ?

Harris Can Change Biden’s Policy on #Israel Just by Upholding the Law
Aug. 18, 2024
By #PeterBeinart

"There’s a solution that allows Ms. Harris to go beyond merely calling for a cease-fire and saying that “far too many” civilians in #Gaza have died. Without supporting an arms embargo, she can still signal a clear break with Joe #Biden’s near-unconditional support for an #Israeli war effort that many legal scholars believe has led to #genocide. And she can do so in a way befitting a former prosecutor: When it comes to Israel, Ms. #Harris should simply say that she’ll enforce the law."

The Campus Protests Make Me Uncomfortable. And They Fill Me with Hope. by #PeterBeinart

[This is a very thoughtful video/transcript from Peter Beinart, a well-known Jewish activist for #Palestinian liberation. He is a leading figure of the film #Israelism, which challenges the mis-education of young American Jews about #Israel and #Palestine.]
