Notably: I find it interesting that Twitter prevented me from embedding this post by Assal Rad, whose posts I have on occasion posted here. Her post shows three dead Palestinian babies. It’s not banned from Twitter. It is offered up with the content warning which, if clicked, reveals the picture behind it. You can see the post here. Rad posted the picture to note that an NYU student’s diploma was withheld for condemning the Gaza genocide while delivering his speech at his graduation. CNN reports that Logan Rozos told members of his graduating class that “as I search my heart today in addressing you all … the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine.” He repeatedly referred to the Gaza genocide, and said it was supported by the United States and paid for with our tax dollars–all undeniably factual (see here, here, here and here, among 52,000 sources. I am choosing that number for a reason.) Somehow I don’t imagine NYU would’ve held out his diploma if he’d made a reference to Oct. 7 from the Israeli side of the fence and delivered a few choice words about “Palestinian terrorists,” like those three babies must be, if the Israeli “defense forces” assassinated them. At least Twitter allowed the embedding of a more recent Rad post, below. I never took out my NYU diploma from its cardboard tube (I didn’t go to my graduation: a World Cup soccer match was more important, so I got the diploma in the mail). I wouldn’t mind sending it back by return post, assuming I could find it.

Menachem Begin once said that “Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs,” while former IDF Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan referred to them as “drugged roaches in a bottle” and also said that “a good Arab is a dead Arab.” Another former chief of staff, Moshe Ya’alon, referred to the Palestinian threat as like a “cancer” on which he was performing “chemotherapy.”
