My conversation with @maricohen.bsky.social associate editor at @jewishcurrents.bsky.social is now up on the public feed.

One of the most important conversations I've had all year. A fascinating/sad/mindbending discussion about the rifts forming within Genocide Studies & more.

Can Genocide Studies Survive a Genocide? (Ft. Mari Cohen)

Tommy Robinson has just arrived in the genocidal ethnostate of Israel after an official invite. He's very pleased. And he's received a very warm welcome.

His official invite and her imprisonment/torture happened roughly around the same time! Tells you a lot.

“Anyone who has any critique of Trump is potentially in the crosshairs,” says @mark-bray.bsky.social, a Rutgers professor who fled the country with his family after receiving death threats for his antifa scholarship.

• Prison was 40 degrees but no water was given to Greta and her friends for days

• People fell sick. Guards mocked them saying they would gas them, showing them cylinders

• She was kept in solitary confinement for hours with bugs

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

His far right interviewer (avi Yemeni) says "I feel you're going to get the sort of welcome trump gets here, thank you for being a real friend"

And Tommy's comments are full of people telling him he's a sell out 🤷🏽‍♀️

Eiynah 🇵🇸 @nicemangos.bsky.social · 1h

He chuckles about how he's there on a 'state visit' ... "Enemy of the state in Britain, friend of the state in Israel"

And they're quick to plug a website raising funds for "tommyinisrael" not sure why... They say since they're not being officially paid by Israel, people 'can help out'

He says he's there as a friend of Israel and calls it 'a beacon of freedom and democracy'. Truly vile stuff.

Declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group and declaring "antifa" a terrorist group... It's all connected to how any and all Palestinians (and their supporters) are immediately labeled Hamas, and in many cases that seems to justify their killing. Please make the connection.

Pete, Booker, Newsom, etc all are keen to go on nontraditional left liberal, center left media circuits, presumably because they think it'll be friendly territory where they can play the hits. Problem is that a lot of these people want answers about Palestine and they're not equipped to give them.

The key thing here though is that these questions aren't going away, and they're not being asked by ultra left wing podcasters. They're being asked by Obama alumni and wine moms.

Israel has not even been removed from singing contests or sporting events .. it has not even faced the slightest of consequences yet.

Everyone will pay for this if it is allowed to continue in this way. We already are.

If we continue to look away while a whole group is tortured, starved, rounded up and genocided by Israel in full public view, what sort of message do you think fascist billionaires in power are getting about what they can get away with doing to vulnerable minorities in the west?

If you can't see that the IDF and ICE are very similar sorts of Nazis... What are you even doing?

The overlaps in surveillance tech, the dehumanizing, the militarized cities... It's all coming home now... Because this was enabled abroad first, almost unchallenged.

If you cannot see how the genocide & ethnic of Palestinians, with no consequences for the perpetrators ...has emboldened the worst people in the world... If u can't see that the calls for 'remigration' (ethnic cleansing) in the west r inspired by the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

I'm amazed by the people on here who seem to care so much about the fascism at home but have not yet said much about the fascism their country has enabled abroad.

If you cannot make that connection, *still* .. I'm not sure how you are planning to effectively oppose it.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
