In this thread prof. Julia Steinberger explains why we do not have to consider #genocide exceptional or abnormal, in order to act to counter it. via

“I stand in #solidarity with the people of #Palestine and their struggle for liberation.”
#Jewish American #filmmaker Sarah Friedland expressed her solidarity with the #Palestinian people as she accepted the Luigi de Laurentiis prize for best first film for Familiar Touch.
She expressed her solidarity with the Palestinian people on the 336th day of what she referred to as “Israel's genocide in #Gaza and the 76th year of occupation”. She stated that she believes it is the responsibility of film workers to use the institutional platforms they work through to redress "#Israel 's impunity on the global stage"."

A post on abortion bans that's worth reading:

https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto/113462099519639568

It talks about how many folks (especially men!) don't understand all the health risks *for anyone who is pregnant* that come from these laws banning aborting.

Reposting with CW due to mention of death and other health risks.

I’m shocked by how misinformed the men in my life are on abortion bans. Most of them support a woman’s right to choose - but they don’t understand that the bans put lives at risk. One said to me “I’m sure they don’t impact women who WANT to start a family”. They do - and here’s why: Abortion bans put lives at risk. When you criminalize abortion - you’re practically criminalizing pregnancy. It sounds harsh - but women have been arrested for having miscarriages. Doctors face jail time for intervening to save a woman’s life if she’s having pregnancy complications. When a woman is having an early miscarriage - you can’t tell whether it happened naturally or was induced. The police should not be involved in making that call. Yet if they have ANY reason to suspect you wanted to end that pregnancy? You could be arrested. Have an ectopic? An abruption? A fetus with lethal anomalies? Doctors are going to hesitate before intervening even IF your life is at risk. They have to consult the legal department, they have to fear for their licence and the possibility of jail time. Pregnancy is NOT a health neutral state. Anything you can be at risk for - you’re higher risk for in pregnancy. When things go sideways - it can happen incredibly quickly. Waiting to intervene can and does cost the life of the mother AND the baby. Doctors are also fleeing states with abortion bans - leaving women in those states with even less access to qualified care. They don’t want to practice somewhere that the government is going to dictate what happens to their patient. They don’t want to worry about criminal charges. All of this adds up to bad news for women - many of who WANT children but will choose not to become pregnant in the face of these archaic and dangerous laws. It’s not “your body my choice”. It’s “my body my choice”. Until people realize that - we continue to be in danger. #abortion #prochoice #abortionishealthcare #womenshealth #mybodymychoice #reproductivehealth

“Leftist, non-Zionist, and anti-Zionist Jews are often deemed traitors, self-haters, fake Jews, or worse, by the mainstream . . . Some go so far as to claim that we should no longer be considered part of Klal Yisrael, the Jewish people. Still, communal rejection is the cost many activists over the generations have had to pay to win change for future generations.” https://www.thenation.com/article/society/american-jewish-divisions-zionism/tnamp/

The American Jewish Consensus Is Fracturing—and That’s a Blessing

While the Jewish establishment bemoans divisions around Israel, younger Jews are demonstrating that the real crisis is that so many support a state engaging in mass murder.

The vote was “historic” given Palestine’s status as a new member of the United Nations General Assembly. https://theintercept.com/2024/09/18/un-palestine-israel-occupation-resolution/

Most of the World Agrees Israel’s Occupation of Palestine Must End. The U.S. Is Fine With It.

But the U.S. voted against a U.N. resolution that sets a 12-month timeframe to end Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

Disarm subway cops. Take away subway cops’ handcuffs. Make them wear a little straw hat. Take away their badges. Give subway cops a net and a cage and a frisky little terrier. Make them walk around the platform calling “Mort-aux-rats!” Now they’re not cops, they’re medieval rat catchers, something the subway needs
