#Israel eased its discrimination against Arab-Americans in order to get visa-free entry to the US for Israelis. It's time for the EU to use its visa-free arrangement with Israel to demand that Israel ease discrimination against Arab-Europeans. @hrw middleeastmonitor.com/202309…

New York mayor Eric Adams is known for his eccentricities — but his fealty to Israel isn’t one of them. It just makes Adams a run-of-the-mill New York Democratic Party politician. jacobin.com/2023/08/eric-ada…

Biden Administration says it will rejoin UNESCO following Israel’s statement that it wouldn’t object to this move - clearing the way for Congress not to oppose it. This is embarrassing. We pull out cuz Israel objected & return when they say it’s ok! axios.com/2022/02/09/israel-…
Israel says it wouldn't oppose U.S. return to UNESCO

Israel says it wouldn't oppose U.S. return to UNESCO

The Trump administration said in 2017 it was leaving UNESCO over what it described as anti-Israel bias.

The violence in Gaza has been pointed to by Israel as a war on terror, while Palestinians claim it's about racism and colonialism. But what if it's about something else? A new book by @antloewenstein reveals how Israeli companies are using that war to market arms abroad.

“This is not just about arms dealing. It’s also about ethnonationalism.” @antloewenstein explains that Israel’s endless wars on Gaza serve as both a model and selling point for other autocracies to seek out Israeli military technology.

Every year, charities registered in New York State send $60m+ in tax-deductible donations to aid & abet Israeli settler violence. Today, we’re launching legislation to ban that. Tell your legislator to join the fight: notonourdime.com/takeaction (🧵)

Just ponder this a hot second— Itamar Ben-Gvir, was denied service in the Israeli military (army service is a requirement) because he is dangerous. He is now Israel’s National Minister of Security and man in charge of armed forces.
