Before the invasion of Iraq, Netanyahu promised future stability if the US would carry out the invasion. Now, heā€™s swearing up and down that invading Lebanon and destabilizing the region will lead to future peace. Anyone who listens to him lacks judgment and should never lead.

Even as victims of a mass shooting in a holy space, Palestinians are collectively punished. The Israeli government to this day bans Palestinans from certain streets in Hebron, such as Al-Shuhada Street, but gives exclusive access to Jewish Israelis and foreign tourists. 2/

Coates is showing us that anything short of supporting the collective punishment of Palestinians is unacceptable. The most jarring part about Hebron is the racist system he describes was implemented *after* an American-Israeli carried out a mass shooting in the Ibrahimi Mosque. 1/

If you have pre-existing conditions (such as asthma) you are considered to be at higher risk. Even if you cannot smell or see smoke, *I* recommend you take extra precautions. I also personally recommend that if you need to be outdoors to wear a well fitted mask. 2/

I have been in touch with the GeorgiaEMAHS to discuss the air quality in and around our district. The current guidance is if you are in any areas that contain a smoke and/or a chlorine like chemical smell in the air, they recommend to use precaution by staying inside. 1/

I share this now, because itā€™s clear to me that Greenblattā€™s hatred of Palestinians trumps everything. Even after he deleted his lies, he still doubled down because he canā€™t help it. I hope people remember this the next time they allow him to be a decision maker. 4/

But Iā€™ll never forget that moment for as long as I live. Itā€™s not hard recognizing racism when youā€™ve grown up in the south. You immediately pick up on it. I was used to taunts, stares, and bullying. But, I didnā€™t expect to experience it around Civil Rights Leaders. 3/
