A crucial, timely report on the weaponization of antisemitism. @itamann.bsky.social and I contributed an essay exploring its legal dimensions, reflecting on Jewish plurality and the knotty relationship between Jewish and Israeli identities. Grateful for @emilyctamkin.bsky.social brilliant guidance.

This sounds oddly....."familiar" 🤔

Don't let all the news distract you from the ongoing starvation and killing of Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli govt is deliberately trying to prevent news getting out . It dismisses what news there is as Hamas propaganda while refusing to let international journalists in. An information war too.

70 days of Israeli blockade on Gaza, using starvation as a weapon of war.

Asks to Universities/colleges are 3-fold: (1) daily check to see if visas have been revoked (2) provide immigration counsel upon visa revocation, & (3) keep students enrolled. @aaup.bsky.social

Finally out! Maayan Sudai & Ido Katri wrote for YLJ on the irrationality of gender affirming care bans, illuminated most vividly via the pov of intersex people. This is such a powerful intervention because it manages to expose something deep in the ideological apparatus of the state. Must read!

"By legally enshrining support for Israel as a defining characteristic of Jewish identity, the new definition of antisemitism imposes a straitjacket of Zionist identity on American Jews, in effect telling them that certain political positions are incompatible with being authentically Jewish."

A brilliant essay by @lihiyona.bsky.social and @itamann.bsky.social on what the project to redefine antisemitism is doing to America www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

@itamann.bsky.social and I wrote for the @theguardian.com about the new definition of antisemitism, and how it has never been about protecting Jews, but rather a part of a larger attempt to silence dissent, entrench Christian nationalism, and undermine democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

"Identity politics can turn on us through the right’s new grammar that casts white men as a subordinate group ... We saw it with white farmers in South Africa, and we see it in the U.S. with this imagined idea that society accepts racism as long as it’s against white people" - Lihi Yona

🔥 Interview with the amazing @lihiyona.bsky.social, on our co-authored article and beyond myemail.constantcontact.com/A-new-approa...

One of the most horrifying stories to come out of this war of extermination. I posted the Hebrew reporting a few days ago, here it is in English. www.972mag.com/gaza-human-s...

You guys need to wise up, you’re not dealing with conservatives or libertarians trying to implement conservative or libertarian policies. You are dealing with fascists trying to destroy the idea of the truth and replace it with the exercise of power.

Happy to see this in print! Thanks to the dedicated team at UCLA Law Rev. For their amazing work. @itamann.bsky.social

Trump is showing us who's on our side. Pretty much everyone. “They have built our coalition for us by virtue of the wide range of attacks by race, class, gender, legal status and more." From @lfelizleon.bsky.social @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/labo...
