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…







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





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.



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.
