ADL, long drifting right, then galloping, still couldn’t keep up. This right after they’d betrayed all Jews (says this Jew) by whitewashing Turning Point’s antisemitism to appease Trump admin. You know, the govt that claims it’s fighting antisemitism.

The JewsforFoodAidforPeopleInGaza campaing is so so so close to reaching the $180,000 goal for our High Holiday Tzedakah campaign before Yom Kippur begins. If you haven't yet please give now! givebutter.com/FoodAidTzeda...

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

The size of the divide between the average American liberal and the average American liberal pundit on one of the defining questions of foreign policy today really can't be overstated.

These numbers were posted six hours ago and are almost certainly worse now.

NEW — Freedom Flotilla Coalition says there may soon be an attempt by Israel to intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla. Say radars show roughly 12 unidentified vessels, just 5-15 miles away. Some flotilla boats seem to be losing connection, possibly experiencing signal jamming.

Please consider supporting

From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “It is a blessing that we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.” www.thenation.com/article/worl...

David Adler: What it means to be Jewish on the Global Sumud Flotilla ✊

US voters oppose sending more economic and military aid to Israel, 39-51. Here are some notable figures of that opposition —> Black voters, 65-25 Hispanics, 63-27 18-29 year-olds, 68-23 30-44 year-olds, 62-25

Trump can't claim to want a ceasefire while pushing through $6 billion more in unconditional weapons to the Israeli military as it intensifies its genocide. Trump & Netanyahu are working hand in hand to continue the destruction of Gaza, entrench control of Gaza, & deny Palestinians their rights.

The destruction of Gaza City is a crime against history Centuries-old mosques, churches, and ancient artifacts all face obliteration as the Israeli military systematically flattens what remains of the city. By Baker Zoubi in partnership with Local Call www.972mag.com/gaza-city-de...

This is abhorrent.

AIPAC messes in Dem primaries and also bankrolled 109 GOP election-deniers. No self-respecting Dem candidate should meet with them let alone take their money. If you want a Dem Party that fights back, get AIPAC out of our primaries - and support candidates brave enough to take them on.

Zohran Mamdani has received votes from more Jews who want to be represented by him than Jonathan Greenblatt ever has.

He is correct. The most respected bodies in the world on the subject of genocide have made this declaration after careful investigation. It is an established fact.

300 Northwestern students were blocked from enrolling in classes because they refused to complete a training that compares critics of Israel to former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke

Let the past year and its curses end, let the new year and it's blessings begin. May 5786 see the end of the genocide in Gaza and the beginning of liberation.

⭕️ Internet and telephone services are facing severe outages after Israeli attacks on main network lines in northern Gaza, according to the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza so far today...

אם אשכחך עזה תשכח ימיני

Nothing to add.

An independent United Nations commission said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. It found indications of intentions to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group — which it said amount to genocide.

We must stop funding this genocide. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in Gaza City. They will have to flee again or risk being killed. This is what Defense Minister Yoav Gallant meant when he said “we will eliminate everything” in Gaza.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide. I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here:

NEW: 20 US politicians now say Israel is committing genocide. First Jewish members to do so— Bernie Sanders: "The intent is clear. The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." Becca Balint: "…the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR. & with the Gaza genocide, our thinking about what amends & healing may ever involve is even more urgent. Even if there may never be “forgiveness” or “atonement.”

To "yes, and" this: While it is less urgent than ameliorating the devastation in Gaza, I hope someday there will be a reckoning for the gentiles who antisemitically insisted, over so many Jewish Americans' loud objections, that this is what we wanted. www.thelewsletter.lewispoll.is/p/the-antise...

Today’s ground invasion of Gaza City, the latest step of Israel’s genocide, is a chillul hashem, a desecration of G-d’s name. 🧵

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide. The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

At a recent town hall, @repscottpeters.bsky.social told an IfNotNow member he's "considering" joining his San Diego colleague @sarajacobs.house.gov & dozens more Congresspeople in signing on to the Block the Bombs Act. Now is the time!

Israeli forces carried out a large-scale overnight raid in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm, arresting more than 1,500 people, Palestinian residents said on Thursday.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

1,000+ members of the Jewish Left gathered last night in celebration of our incredible honorees @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social + @bradlander.bsky.social , @mashagessen.bsky.social and @tenantbloc.bsky.social as well as JFREJ’s powerful organizing of the past year!

The heart of the matter for my people right now harvardindependent.com/avoid-the-bu...

Also this is underselling it, because for instance in one of these polls he's winning Jews by 17 points (great!) but among Jews under 45 he is winning by 56 POINTS.

Did we do enough to prevent the inevitable, intended consequences of the policy we deliberately, relentlessly implemented, over the desperate pleas of millions? No, I’d say we probably did not.

Give him the Nobel for “Now that I can’t do the thing I am totally in favor of doing the thing that would have saved countless lives if only I had done it when I could”

Children in #Gaza have been killed while sleeping, sheltering in schools, and queuing for water. In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023, according to @unicef.org. Children need a #CeasefireNow

“The Democratic leadership’s unwillingness to adapt is not just bad politics; it’s a betrayal of basic democratic principles.” Voters are overwhelmingly against the genocide in Gaza — and yet, some of their Reps are still taking AIPAC trips to Israel. It’s time to clean House.

In its alleged fight against antisemitism, the Trump administration has relied on two groups with murky funders—one of which is in Israel. Here's my deep dive @thebaffler.com into Canary Mission and Betar, two extreme Zionist groups at the heart of Trump's crackdown. thebaffler.com/latest/for-b...

Netanyahu's callous disregard for human life is staggering. The U.S. cannot send another penny to the Israeli government to be used to kill innocent Palestinians, doctors, nurses, and the journalists who are working to give each of them a voice.

NOW: Over 100,000 people on the streets of Tel Aviv after a day of disruption! NO to the killing, NO to the abandonment. Right now all of us must act with all our strength against the extremists who want us to despair and to think they can’t be stopped. We won’t back down!

Yesterday, despite the fear and the consequences that Palestinians face, hundreds of them filled the heart of Tel Aviv, standing shoulder to shoulder with Jews demanding an end to the war! (1/2)

More of this, please. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Powerful reading on teshuva and Gaza for this Elul season

In late 2024, the Heritage Foundation quietly launched Project Esther, a 12-24 month blueprint to destroy progressive movements, starting with unraveling Palestine solidarity. This plan is already underway.

Public opinion shift continues — A plurality of Americans, 43-28, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, per new YouGov poll. A majority of Americans, 58-33, believe every country in the UN should recognize Palestine as a nation, per new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

On A1 today: UCLA's Jewish faculty — some of whom are divided over Israel’s war in Gaza — have come together to sign a letter condemning Trump's pursuit of a $1 billion fine over alleged antisemitism on campus. Their message: it won't make Jews safer. www.latimes.com/california/s...

That’s why we are calling on you to take the next step and co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act, joining over 30 of your Democratic colleagues who are saying clearly: no more weapons for war crimes.
