Pay attention to this red heifer and Third Temple situation. There are religious fanatics in power in Israel and the US—some Jewish and some Christian—who are deeply invested in it. It’s easy to write off this stuff and focus on materialist dynamics, but the esoteric matters too.

🧵1/ Please read & Share. I think it might be the most important text I wrote since Oct 7th, my OP-ED Haaretz.com:
Hamas murdered my parents. Six months later Israel's war of revenge threatens us all.
71 percent of Jewish Israelis polled believe that 'revenge for October 7'>

“We have made it clear that hatred of Israel has no place in Berlin.”

YES.

Reporters mine Twitter for content, decontextualize the post/s they select from the larger body of the subject’s efforts, fit the post/s into a story they’re looking to tell, and sometimes ruin lives in the process. Often without even a courtesy notification to the subject.

Our @newshour report tonight:
- US and Israeli officials are preparing for strikes by Iran and its proxies on Israel.
- One US official: the attack is likely to be quote “bigger than usual.”
- Another US official: timing could be “by the end of the weekend.”

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimates that over 13,000 Palestinians are either missing under debris, buried in indiscriminate mass graves, or forcibly disappeared in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, where some have even been killed.

Serious question given the rapid degradation of European democracies: we know Israel will silence Gazan witnesses who try to testify at CIJ_ICJ but will even witnesses in Europe like Dr. Abu Sittah be allowed into Holland and reach the Hague to testify? Even by video link?

Nearly every climate denial argument I’ve ever heard falls into one of these five categories.

1 - it’s not real
2 - it’s not us
3 - it’s not bad
4 - it’s too hard/costly to fix
5 - it’s too late

And you know which is growing the fastest these days? The last one 😳
