Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “This is what the implosion of the “pro-Palestine” movement looks like in the Western world. This is what happens when extremists, the far left, Islamists, amateurs, ideologues, ill/mis-informed activists, and imbeciles take over social movements: they bring rot and decay from” / X
AnnaOdesa, MD on X: “@khvy_lia @ProChoiceMike @RitaAdelMohamm1 Sorry, I’m busy standing with half million murdered by Russia and Assad in Syria. You know Assad and Russia?

(1) Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “Hamas’s criminals & mouthpieces on Telegram & social media are calling on the Palestinian people to “escalate resistance and revolutionary” zeal & action in support of prisoners & detainees. The terror group realizes that the Oct 7 “Aqsa Flood” has failed to liberate prisoners &…” / X (twitter.com)
Josh Marshall on X: “Students for Justice in Palestine negotiated an end to their encampment at UC Riverside and their biggest get appears to be a process they hope will lead to Sabra Hummus being banned from the dining halls. https://t.co/HAKJ4iukZH via @TPM” / X (twitter.com)
LadyGrey 🇦🇲🇺🇦🇺🇸 on X: “Joe Biden, March 2024: A ground invasion of Rafah is a red line. Joe Biden, May 2024: You are crossing my red line of invading Rafah, I must hold my line. Conservatives: Betrayal! Biden has done a 180 and abandoned Israel! Leftists: Yea, and we made Biden do it! 🤦♀️” / X (twitter.com)
Deez & B on X: “I am not a single issue voter – primarily because I’m not a fucking moron. #BidenHarris2024” / X (twitter.com)
Charles Gaba ✡️ on X: “According to Twitter, President Biden has gone from being #GenocideJoe to #JihadiJoe. Perhaps—and hear me out here—perhaps he’s neither but is doing his best to navigate an incredibly complex and dangerous situation with strong emotions on all sides?” / X
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “It’s been great to spend lots of time with Elica (@elicalebon), a tremendous ally and friend, and learn about her views, motivations, opinions, and plans. Just like myself, her love for the Palestinian people is precisely why she’s anti-Hamas and political Islamism that have… https://t.co/yVbN57DRh2” / X (twitter.com)
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim on X: “I am well known for my support of Biden. But the decision to delay arms and ammunition to Israel is immoral and inexcusable: 1) It emboldens Iran and its enemies while at war with Israel. 2) It puts IDF soldiers at risk. Shirit Avitan of Yisrael Hayom reports that ammunition…” / X (twitter.com)

Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی on X: “if Khalidi is attacked like this, what chance do the rest of us stand? Short of supporting Hamas-like maximalism, nothing will satisfy such folks” / X (twitter.com)
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “A movement that eats its own, enforces conformity, criminalizes disagreements, disrespects diverse thinking, pursues maximalist goals, approves of ineffective/immoral violence against civilians because it’s “resistance,” & maligns Palestinian peace activists is destined to fail.” / X (twitter.com)
Ihab Hassan on X: “The comment section on this post is extremely disgusting, with the majority either denying the holocaust or mocking this man who cried to find the names of his family members who perished in the Holocaust.” / X (twitter.com)

“The situation for Israelis on campus is horrific,” Shaveet says. “While the media tends to amplify the voices of Jewish-Americans on campus complaining about antisemitism, we get ignored, even though our predicament is much worse.
“Our connection to Israel is real – it’s not hypothetical, like it is for most Jewish Americans. We live there, our parents live there, our siblings live there, we were born there, we served in the army there, and a disproportionate amount of hatred is being directed at us.”
Rashid Khalid has made this same point
Matthew Petti on X: “Plurality of Americans wants to ban both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protests on campus. Instead of a pro-Israel silent majority, like many thought/hoped, it’s the “get us out of this cursed conflict” instinct getting activated.” / X (twitter.com)
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “I went to the UCLA campus last night and spent a few hours there before the police dispersed the encampment. I wanted to see the pro-Palestine student protests for myself and get a sense of the atmosphere, energy, and students, as well as the movement’s focus and the desired… https://t.co/bXLKGX6SSA” / X (twitter.com)

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “My opinion article for @TheNationalNews: Israel’s war has killed 31 members of my family, yet it’s vital to speak out against Hamas: To realize peace, the pro-Palestine movement must not buy into the militants’ self-serving, nihilistic narrative. https://t.co/0h33C75HaI” / X (twitter.com)

Kim Freestad on X: “@Rowaida_Abdel @mehdirhasan This is what is wrong with the world now a days. No one wants to sit together and talk. Biden backing Israel was wrong but he is at least wanting a 2 state solution Trump would have and will if/when elected allow Israel to wipe Gaza and The West Bank off the map.” / X (twitter.com)

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “Just boycott them all? The decision by a large element of the pro-Palestine BDS movement (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) to shun & denounce Standing Together (Odim Beyachad/עומדים ביחד) is puzzling & truly short-sighted. It is also symptomatic of how far-left radical…” / X (twitter.com)
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X: “It’s fine to use electoral pressure for leverage/concessions; but turning into single issue voters & losing sight of what’s at stake for the country, the world & especially Gaza is shortsighted & dangerous. The alternative wants to institute a new Muslim ban & deport protestors.” / X (twitter.com)
