This article is the completion of my two part series on regrets of the past year. The previous one was published on +972 last week, and deals with Jewish fears and how we should be thinking about them

Grappling with Jewish fears in a just Palestinian struggle

Recognizing Zionism’s settler-colonial nature shouldn’t prevent us from reimagining a collective Jewish existence in this land, or taking seriously the fears that are weaponized to justify Palestinian subjugation.

My biggest regret of the last year has been not doing enough to stop the massacre ongoing in Gaza.
Here are some reflections for @thenation what keeps good people from acting - and a call for all to join the campaign against the war and for BDS

For Those Who Know They Have Not Done Enough To Stop Israel’s War on Gaza

It is shamefully easy to keep going about one’s life while Israel continues its onslaught on Gaza with full US support—and it’s absolutely essential to resist that impulse.

BREAKING: An explosive investigation by Yuval Abraham exposes some of the AI machines the Israeli army uses, which have killed thousands of innocent civilians.

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local Call reveal.

I participated in a New Statesman project about being Jewish on the left in Israel these days. Here's what I had to say
https://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/12/tolerance-israel-dissenting-feelings

There is little tolerance in Israel for dissenting feelings

Six weeks after the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel, I find that I understand that horrid, shocking, unjustifiable attack much better than I did in the first couple of weeks. Not just because of

BREAKING: Investigation based on Israeli military sources shows how Israel is knowingly killing dozens of civilians in Gaza to hit one Hamas target. In one case: hundreds of civilians for one target.
Also in the investigation: how a new AI app is generating thousands of targets, and how the army attacks "power targets" that have no military value, such as high-rises, universities and the likes, only in order to instill fear among Palestinians

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an AI system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza.

What we know happened on October 7 and in the month since, how Israeli politics will likely be changed, and what it all means for our struggle.
My latest on +972 Magazine

How October 7 has changed us all — and what it signals for our struggle

My take on everything going on in Israel-Palestine right now
https://www.972mag.com/gaza-attack-context-israelis/

Gaza’s shock attack has terrified Israelis. It should also unveil the context

The dread Israelis are feeling, myself included, has been the daily experience of millions of Palestinians for far too long.

Once again: the anti occupation bloc at the Tel Aviv anti government protest, for the 33rd week running. Some demonstrators painted a red Star of David on their cheeks, in protest against police officers who branded a Palestinian detainee this way
