As Zionists recognize they’re losing the debate on Palestine, they now do everything they can to prevent that debate from happening at all. https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/park-slope-coop-israeli-boycott-bds/23 May 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:2vbugc5dtvhqdsacynwappp2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmk4aj3pgc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/tksshawa.bsky.social/post/3mlecj45lmk2tI recently reconnected with my childhood friend, Sadeq, from Yemen and found out that his father urgently needs surgery he can’t afford after years of war have devastated Yemen’s economy.

The plan is to confine Palestinians to hyper-surveilled prison camps and exploit them as cheap labor for luxury developments they’ll never live in, all built atop mass graves. My latest for @thenation.com https://www.thenation.com/article/world/jared-kushner-gaza-plan-ethnic-cleansing/12 Feb 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:2vbugc5dtvhqdsacynwappp2/app.bsky.feed.post/3meobavpqqc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/tksshawa.bsky.social/post/3lzj37d4kls2lRevolution was never promised. My latest for @thenation.com: hyper-individualism, elite-managed media, and advanced repressive tech are making our revolutionary aspirations increasingly elusive. If movements don’t adapt, windows for change will keep closing. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/can-revolution-survive-the-21st-century/23 Sep 2025 13:55 +0000at://did:plc:2vbugc5dtvhqdsacynwappp2/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzj37d4kls2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/tksshawa.bsky.social/post/3lbxkaqux2k2r"It is astonishing how this normal human reaction - wishing for a war to end, instead of going on indefinitely - is completely inverted when it comes to the Israeli public." We need to normalize asking why an entity born via ethnic cleansing and addicted to genocide has a singular right to exist.
