  1. #Business: former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz started a company with the man behind the infamous Pegasus spyware, Shalev Hulio.

    The Israeli entrepreneur Shalev Hulio gained notoriety for designing Pegasus, a spyware that has been used by governments to hack journalists and dissidents. Today, he is selling an AI cyber security tool to European states and corporations.

    "Follow the Money" found that at least a dozen employees at Dream Security had worked for Hulio’s former spyware company NSO and other Israeli spyware firms.

  2. CW: "New antisemitism" 🧵

    In 1967, the State of Israel attacked Egypt. Already, it was referred to as a ‘pre-emptive strike’. Since then, the Jewish State has occupied Sinai, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. (see map)
    For three centuries, this war has been the only one to bear the name of its duration: the ‘Six-Day War’, a name that glorifies the military impact (of the Zionist Sparta).
    In 1968, several French intellectuals drew a link between the Six-Day War, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
    The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an organisation that supports the Israeli government and fights against diversity. In 1974, Arnold Forster and Benjamin Epstein of the ADL published a book entitled ‘The New anti-Semitism’, expressing their concerns about :
    - an indifference to the fears of ‘the Jewish people’,
    - apathy in dealing with prejudice against Jews,
    - an inability to understand the importance of Israel for the survival of the ‘Jewish people’ (in their view).
    Hence controversy in the United States (among professionals in public debate).
    Later, Allan Brownfeld wrote that Forster and Epstein's definition of anti-Semitism trivialised the concept by turning it into ‘a form of political blackmail’ and ‘a weapon to silence any form of criticism of Israel or of US policy in the Middle East’ (in ‘Anti-Semitism: Its Changing Meaning’, Journal of Palestine Studies, vol. 16, no 3 (Spring, 1987), pp. 53-67).

  3. The German state has bound its own re-birth into the “realm of civilized nations” through a particular protective relationship with the figure of the Jew, where (always Jewish) Israelis are a prime embodiment of Jewish life.

    "As long as the figure of the Jew remains a medium through which German post-unification identity is articulated and experienced, the performance of Jewish collective difference and political agency will be exclusively relegated to the State of Israel. The figure of the Palestinian, as well as Palestinians’ political subjecthood and demands for equality will, in turn, be addressed as either an annoyance to be ignored or a threat to be criminalized—rather than as a crucial prism through which the multiple layers of legitimatized moral violence in Germany have to be recognized."

  4. CW: Deflecting gestures 🧵

    At audition, nominate to the European Commission focuses on pleas to third parties:

    "In a hearing ahead of her appointment as EU foreign policy chief, former Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas addressed global hotspots. [She] urged the U.S. to prioritize defeating Russian aggression to help curb China."

    "She also repeatedly referenced the words of David Ben-Gurion, the State of Israel's primary national founder and first prime minister, that the solution to the Middle Eastern conflict must be based on justice and security."

  5. Daniel Levy: "As the movement for Palestinian rights has built up one kind of popular power, pro-Israel forces have doubled down on financial power. The Democratic Party could have said they will not allow independent expenditure campaigns, because they are a travesty and a disgrace to democracy, but they didn’t — and so they have enabled those pro-Israel forces."

  6. "Despite broad popular support for legislation to curtail police violence, Congress got nothing done. Democrats, despite controlling both the House and Senate in 2021 and 2022, slow-walked the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, insisting on bipartisan support that never materialized."

    "Both #BLM activists voted into Congress have been pushed out."

    "Bowman and Bush have been routed out of Congress, thanks to a historic deluge of big-money spending against them. They battled challengers in the most and third-most-expensive congressional primaries in American history, respectively, and each was outspent roughly 4–1."

  7. CW: Waleed Shahid talked about influencing the Democratic Party

    "The strategy of building a faction both inside and outside the party is responding to the laws of gravity of our political system, but it’s becoming a lot harder, especially electorally, and especially because of this massive amount of spending from AIPAC, from cryptocurrency, and so on. When your candidate is unknown, elections are often built around how much money you can raise to increase your name recognition and to defend yourself from attacks."

    "The youth wing of the ceasefire moment is pretty opposed to, or ambivalent about, party politics and electoral politics, and is much more focused on mobilization and disruption in a way that is similar to Occupy Wall Street."

    "My hypothesis is that Muslim partisan loyalty to the Democratic Party is much thinner than it is with Jewish Americans, who are part of the Democratic Party for many reasons that have nothing to do with Israel – liberal and democratic values, social justice values.
    • Over the years, polls have shown that Jewish voters generally do not list Israel among their top five issues.
    • Many Muslims are part of the Democratic Party for its anti-racist values, so when the Gaza war is in contradiction with those values, it’s easy for them to leave."
