In an open letter now signed by thousands, leading Israeli intellectuals claimed that "Netanyahu isn't Israel - his government does not represent us!" They're lying to themselves. Superb Haaretz.com op-ed by Ilana Hammerman: haaretz.com/opinion/2025-0…

Israel just scuttled any hope for a nuclear deal with Iran that would have benefitted the entire world because it’s addicted to war and insists the whole region be brought down with it.

Of course Israel attacked Iran. Who was going to stop them? If the world hasn’t stopped Israel from committing genocide; from bombing Lebanon, Syria, Lebanon and assassinating people (including the negotiators) why wouldn’t Israel attack Iran? This is the logic of impunity.

Imagine what those monsters will do in Gaza while the world’s attention is fixed on their new deranged war. Plunging Gaza into communication blackout was no coincidence.

What an Orwellian world we live in. Israel launches a clearly illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran, in violation of the U.N. charter, and with no imminent Iran attack in sight, or any Iranian nukes developed, and its western allies come out to say they reaffirm *Israel’s* right

Truly courageous by Brad Lander to do this. He was locking arms with people about to be disappeared and didn't let go until the agents literally force him to. Now he's been detained himself and taken who knows where. Abolish ICE

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

If you’re wondering why Andrew Cuomo is so soft on ICE—and why he hasn’t called for Brad’s release—you can just follow the money.

Netanyahu’s vision of the “new Middle East” is essentially Israel as a fortified, high-tech enclave, armed with state-of-the-art military and surveillance systems, surrounded by seas of impoverished stateless people living in poverty, displacement, stripped of rights and dignity.

Sending strength to Zohran who has managed to run a clear-eyed and principled campaign in the face of enormous pressure and threats to his own personal safety. It’s such a hard thing to do. Many Jews, including myself, are with him for this very reason.

New York is so lucky that Zohran Kwame Mamdani is trying to lead this city in a moment this ugly and scary. His ability to take on some of the worst minefields in our politics with such grace never fails to inspire and impress. Proud to have voted today for him as our next mayor.
