2 things are true re NYC: 1 We need leaders to unequivocally reject antisemitism wherever/however it exists, inc in the Israel conversation 2 Jews are being used as a political football, intended to pit communities against one another & divide our coalitions - also so dangerous

Horrific night in the West Bank: Israeli settlers are currently attacking the Christian village of Taybeh, near Ramallah—setting homes on fire and shooting at residents.

בנאומו האחרון אמר רה״מ המנוח יצחק רבין: “אלימות היא כרסום יסוד הדמוקרטיה. יש לגנות אותה, להוקיע אותה, לבודד אותה”. מה שקרה הערב במאלכ זה פוגרום יהודי אלים - עשרות פורעים הציתו בתים, מכוניות, תקפו פלסטינים ואת כוחות הביטחון. אבל הממשלה הזו לא תגנה, לא תעצור ולא תוקיע. היא תמשיך

Horrific: Israeli settlers carried out a violent pogrom in the Christian Palestinian village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, setting homes and vehicles ablaze.

Noteworthy: Some of Israel’s staunchest defenders—like Hen Mazzig, Bari Weiss, Batya Ungar-Sargon & Haviv Rettig-Gur—have strongly criticised Israeli settler terrorism this week. Weiss, Rettig-Gur & Ungar-Sargon either wrote or retweeted the word “terrorism” to describe this.

This is a deeply troubling report, and a painful read for all who care about Israel’s moral standing and Jewish values. These incidents demand thorough and transparent IDF as well as independent investigations into potential war crimes.

💥"The Maariv poll published yesterday reveals that the political effect of the war with Iran has almost completely dissipated. Citizens are not really satisfied with the outcome, and Netanyahu continues to lose in the polls. Smotrich is out." –וואלה

40 Israeli settlers attacked Israeli soldiers in the West Bank—beating them, choking them, stoning them, and even trying to run them over. This is the same network that’s been attacking Palestinian villages for months. Turmus Aya, Kafr Malik, Susya, Huwara—we’ve seen the

Masses of concerned citizens take to the streets of Tel Aviv and gather outside the Begin Gate in support of the 50 remaining hostages and their families, all demanding that Netanyahu end their 631 day nightmare and sign a comprehensive deal to bring them all home at once, and

🚨Trump continues to press for canceling Netanyahu's corruption trial and hints he could suspend military aid to Israel if the trial continues. This is an unprecedented threat in the U.S.-Israeli relations

If the major Jewish organizations were truly principled in their aversion to domestic Israeli political intervention, they’d condemn this in unison.

Saying the quiet part out loud, the same part that many of the legacy orgs believe - it's not about being pro-Israel, but pro-Netanyahu.

I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today. Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them. “Well, that’s what they voted for.“ “They

As we wait for Hamas’s response to the ceasefire proposal, these questions still haunt us: how much loss could have been prevented? How many children could still be laughing? How many families could still be together? How many homes could still be standing? How many futures could

Donald Trump just referred to bankers using a centuries-old antisemitic slur & trope. No wonder 52% of American Jewish voters believe he's antisemitic.

Shylock is among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes. This is not an accident. It follows years in which Trump has normalized antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories — and it’s deeply dangerous.

Yet another in a loooong list of blatantly antisemitic remarks from Trump. He has told us who he is over and over and over again. He and the MAGA movement's casual Jew hatred makes everyone in our community less safe.

This is blatant and vile antisemitism, and Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. Anyone who truly opposes antisemitism calls it out wherever it occurs — on both extremes — as I do. Where is Elise Stefanik and the GOP now that antisemitism is coming from Trump?

Happy Independence Day. Democracy does not defend itself.
