The Myth of Israeli Innovation: #Israel has long relied on Western patrons for arms and backing—even as it has cast itself as a security “innovator” the West can’t afford to do without.

The Myth of Israeli Innovation

Israel has long relied on Western patrons for arms and backing—even as it has cast itself as a security “innovator” the West can’t afford to do without.

Jewish Currents

An important and needed discussion on #JewishCurrents pod about the trafficking of #antisemitism by #farRight influencers under the guise of "antizionism." Focus is on #TuckerCarlson's talk w/ #NickFuentes and #NormanFinkelstein's surreal decision to go on #CandaceOwens's show while providing hardly any pushback to her BS #conspiracism.

Worth a listen for any ppl who think going on fash podcasts can "advance" the cause of Palestine.

Mount Sinai Hospital Fired Social Worker Over “Gaza Must Live” Postcard

Hospital employees say the termination is an example of the anti-#Palestinian climate at the institution.

Last year, Claire Raizen, a social worker at Manhattan’s Mount Sinai Hospital[...] put up a small postcard at her desk bearing the words “Gaza Must Live.” Raizen said this affirmation of her values in her workplace was an attempt to manage the disconnect that arose from “knowing atrocities are happening” in #Gaza while she went about her daily life. The postcard was in a space where only co-workers came and went, she said, and was out of view of patients.

At first, other employees at the top-ranked hospital who saw the postcard reacted positively, Raizen said. “I had co-workers that would come into my office and say, ‘it’s so amazing to know that this is a safe place to talk about #Palestine."
