🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics.

The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.
The IPC reports famine in Gaza City and soon in other parts of the Gaza Strip. This is a result of a deliberate policy of the Netanyahu regime. A policy that is not only cruel but makes no security sense whatsoever. Israel has been hijacked by Fascists. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

Former Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF leaders join most of the world in demanding an immediate end to the Gaza war, saying it’s now an unjust, immoral and futile war of destruction guided by 'messianic and extremist goals' and threatening ‘the loss of Israel's security and freedom.’ It must end now.

Awdah was murdered yesterday by an Israeli extremist settler. I didn't know Awdah, but several of my friends did know him well and attest to him being the nicest person and a dedicated activist for Palestinian human rights and for peace. May he rest in peace.

In Sakhnin, a mass march was held against the starvation of the population in Gaza. A joint event by Jewish and Arab peace organizations. 🇮🇱🕊🇵🇸

Emanuel Macron declared that France will recognize Palestine as a state. Like in many countries' recognition of Kosovo, atrocities against civilians can lead to exactly the opposite of what the perpetrator (here, the Netanyahu regime) wants.

France Will Recognize Palestinian Statehood, Macron Says

I spoke with a Palestinian friend of the shame I feel that "my people" are starving other people, just several generations after the Holocaust. He said I should not feel ashamed, in the same way that he is not ashamed of Hamas's doing- it's them, not us. But still... www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

A Tel-Aviv protest of "Standing Together" yesterday with posters of Gaza's starving kids. The hunger in Gaza is reaching a breaking point, and the international community must force Israel to open the gates to all international aid. The Netanyahu government will not do it of its own volition.

I wrote about the history of Iran’s nuclear programme: when it began, what was shut down in 2003, what weapons-related work continued thereafter & whether this was “accelerating” in recent months as Israel claims. Short answer: more evidence needed. www.economist.com/middle-east-...
Was Iran really racing for nukes?
Israel says so, but there are grounds for doubt
