I am an independent journalist reporting on Middle East affairs. Mainly Israel national security and relations with the Arab world (and the US). Also an activist for peace and justice.

I publish at Al Jazeera, The New Arab, Middle East Eye and Jacobin Magazine. My primary media outlet is Tikun Olam: https://richardsilverstein.com

I spent a few hrs trying to login to the app and failing, even though I was using my actual login credentials for this server (awscommunity)
If you try to use the Mastodon Android app, beware. If you already have an account, you cannot simply login. You must register for a new account, then pick the server you already use. THEN you login using those login credentials. Only then will the app work properly. You cannot login to the app as a current user, until you've done this. Don't ask me why, nor ask me why the initial login process is so weird. But that's the way it is.

If you're interested in any of the following, please follow:

Israeli spyware
Israeli surveillance state
Israeli national security state
Israeli war crimes
Israeli apartheid
BDS
anti-Semitism (faux and otherwise)
human rights
Palestine
US-Israel relations
Israel-Iran relgions (or lack thereof)
Jewish-Muslim relations

Does anyone know why I can't login to my Mastodon instance via the Mastodon mobile app? Why does the app login refuse to recognize my server instance login?
Btw reinstating top neo Nazi, Andrew Anglin is a far more newsworthy story. Let's see if Taibi has anything to say about that.
The Matt Taibi story on the Biden laptop is a piece of utter garbage. Who cares what Twitter did or didn't do regarding it? What you can say is that Twitter didn't want right garbage content on it's platform. Good for them. The idea of free speech on a private platform is naive at best. The best you can aim for is a balance of free sueech with judicious use of content moderation to prevent it descending into a "hellhole." Like it is now.

New to Mastodon. I'm a journalist, activist and political blogger. I have over 14K Twitter followers Looks more and more like Twitter is not only a cesspool, but a haven for bigots and white supremacists.

If you are progressive and/or Jewish &/or supporter of Palestinian rights, please follow me and I'll follow back. It's critical as a means to promote my work and my values.

I am a journalist, researcher and activist for Israel-Palestine human rights. I write for several publications and publish my political blog, Tikun Olam.

As Netanyahu forms Israel's first fascist government, the US must respond

Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir will be looking to brutally eradicate Palestinian resistance and dismantle Israeli democracy. The world must act as it did against Russia

My son survived the Seattle high school shooting today. He literally heard to bullets near (too near) his classroom. One child died. He was targeted by a 14 year old with a Glock pistol.

I'm sorry to say I now know first-hand what it's like to parent a child survivor of school gun violence.
