This guy has no love lost for Israel and doesn't mince words about the war. But he also thinks Hamas are a bunch of mass-murderers who gladly offered up Gaza as a sacrifice to their religious vision. Unfortunately for him, a very great deal of the activist core of the

OK, I’ve seen enough of these smug “but Israel has previously cried wolf about Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions” takes (like Jon Stewart does here), so let’s debunk this charge: 🧵 /1

People like this have too much confidence and not enough humility to actually consider that we are not "brainwashed" and have real concerns. I will try to lay it out.

This New York Times Opinion column is infuriating - and ludicrous. Here’s why. 1. The VAST majority of American Jews easily understand the difference between criticizing the Israeli government and antisemitism masked as criticism of Israel. 2. Delegitimizing Israel’s right to exist is

The greatest analysis ever for why liberal American Jews & Israelis can’t even talk to one another by Haviv Rettig Gur. I hope Haviv doesn’t mind my citing him so much, but after watching Mandy Patinkin’s latest rant blaming Israel & Netanyahu for antisemitism, I felt compelled.

Breaking twitter hiatus to say: We are entering a very grim phase of the war in Gaza. The price of flour has skyrocketed, suggesting genuine shortages. Hamas is making outrageous demands, knowing that the worse it gets for Palestinian civilians the more leverage they have. 1/

This is the heart of it. This is why Gaza sets the Western imagination on fire unlike any conflict anywhere in generations. It isn't even close. Even when those other wars are literal unquestionable genocides, even when their death toll is much higher, even when the West can

a. Most Israelis don't believe the suffering is as bad as world media claims, and they're mostly right. It's very bad, as I've written and said on podcasts. But it's not as bad as claimed. And yes, the degree matters. Suffering is unavoidable in war. Deliberate mass-starvation

Statement by the Jewish Future Alliance “Crown Heights Bites Back has been spreading some of the most inflammatory and inciteful content—celebrating the brutal murders of Yaron and Sarah in Washington, D.C. and amplifying calls for more murders, and engaging in overtly

So, you’re all outraged over elimination of billionaire terrorists, men who— while their own people suffered— lived lavishly in a country that sheltered and funded them, and the outrage is directed not at those who enabled them, but at the fact they’re gone? Is that the story?

a. There's not a single Israeli shekel going to AIPAC. It's 100% American-funded. Its staff is all Americans. Its membership is 100% Americans. That they believe something different from what you believe doesn't make them foreigners or enemies. This is a nasty and bigoted kind of

What if - hear me out - Hamas are exactly as evil as the Israelis keep saying? What if they’re exactly as oppressive, cynical and brutal as they appear? And because their goal isn’t independence but the destruction of Israel, what if they can only ever offer Palestinians more

It would be such a shame if this video went viral, bookmark it and next time you need to explain who Tucker has become and why it’s a problem, just go ahead and play this video for him and every single other person who gaslights you.

Just so I understand, an Israeli company owns an American company that owns 34,000 housing units (out of roughly 150 million) throughout America, and this amounts to evil Israelis, with special mention of “the IDF and illegal settlements,” “taking over huge swathes of American

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos. 🧵

I don't think people fully understand the significance of the global assault on kosher eateries. Keeping kosher isn't just "nice to have." It's a core element of Judaism for many Jews. It's a set of commandments about how to do something we do every single day: Eat. Kosher

1. Nothing in the indictment said that this criminal was going to flee to Israel. 2. It’s almost impossible to get to Israel because the airspace is mostly closed. 3. If he did get to Israel, they would arrest him. There is an extradition agreement. Mayor should be trying to
