A rare, nuanced take on a very real issue by @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social: forward.com/news/antisem... There were protests outside of the synagogue at my niece's bat mitzvah in MI last month... That was less nuanced IMHO.

IDF commanders plead with Chief of Staff for the return of administrative detentions to curtail settler violence: www.ynet.co.il/news/article...

There is a middle space for people who care about Israel and are livid at what the Israeli government has done. Thank you @hadarsusskind.bsky.social @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social for holding that ground in this NYT feature. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/s...

And I just bought packs of dental floss to hand out to all the neighborhood kids 🤷

Trump excoriated on Israeli TV for claiming to have released all of the hostages, when his efforts only released one (while Biden managed to release 118).

3 reasons why America should recognize a Palestinian state. A very smart analysis by @hadarsusskind.bsky.social in @thehill.com this morning. thehill.com/opinion/inte...

"A better shared future is possible, but only after this government is confined to history, where it belongs. "Jews around the world need to confidently and boldly speak up now for the Israel they love and need, in solidarity with millions of Israelis who have had enough..."

American Jews are not idiots. By nearly 3 to 1, American Jews believe that Trump is using antisemitism as an “excuse” to “penalize and tax college campuses.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

It's too easy to lose sight of the reality that terroism shatters the lives of ordinary people. This attack took place just down the hill from my childhood home. Every time we left the neighborhood we passed through this intersection. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/w...

New poll: Only 39% of Israeli public support Netanyahu's military operation in Gaza. 45% would rather go to a ceasefire now.

The pictures from the protests in Tel Aviv right now are an inspiration!

The more evidence piles up about what the Netanyahu government is doing, the more Jews worldwide are going to be up in arms about it! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

Antisemitism is real. The Iranian regime is sinister. Full stop. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/w...

Yes, the decision to stop letting Gazan children come to the US for medical treatment is morally bankrupt. And yes, @hadarsusskind.bsky.social calls it out in strong terms. forward.com/opinion/7638...

Yet another poll shows the current Israeli government is deeply unpopular www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Stop doom scrolling and read @rhodesben.bsky.social! Then let's start talking about the future America we want to live in. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/o...

"Tyranny of the temporary majority." Noun. 1. a term in political science used to describe a situation in which a transitory majority dominates the political landscape long after they become a minority. 2. Israel's current government. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

I don't want to say anything about this video other than that it is painful and it needs to be seen. Otherwise, it speaks for itself. I will add my gratitude to @vanhollen.senate.gov for his role. I say that as an Israeli-American and a resident of Maryland.

Why won't Republicans condemn Trump administration's antisemitism? @repbonamici.bsky.social explains: "because that would require real and meaningful commitment to rooting out antisemitism from the top down. Instead, [they] are weaponizing the real problems... to defund colleges and universities.

The rare headline that actually made me smile.

In democracies government officials don't use ad hominem attacks against media outlets www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Excited to see the story of Albi getting attention! I'm even more excited to see and feel the change that tis project will bring. www.haaretz.com/life/2025-06...

Following the American military attack on Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social President @jeremybenami.bsky.social and NJN President and CEO @hadarsusskind.bsky.social issued the following statement:

Former Knesset Speaker tells Congress to look at Netanyahu's record before acceding to his requests. Pretty powerful (but I could have done without the Bob Dylan part) substack.com/inbox/post/1...

28% of Israelis believe that the main reason Netanyahu went to war with Iran was "political considerations." 64% say the nuclear and ballistic threat.

New poll shows a jump in support for the Likud. But even if elections were held today, his coalition would only garner 50 seats in the Knesset. You need 61 to have a majority.

SCOTUS chose to protect the tyranny of the majority and not the health of a persecuted minority. Their excuse: The science is iffy. Here's what the actual experts at @ameracadpeds.bsky.social have to say about that.

Will America join the war? @barakravid.bsky.social has an answer: www.axios.com/2025/06/16/u...

The Israeli censor is now allowing this to be published: www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Some of my reflections on what the Iranian missiles are doing to Israel. www.newjewishnarrative.org/commentary/w...

We are watching events in Iran and Israel with grave concern for our families, our friends, and for the millions of lives that are now at risk. This escalation threatens to ignite a catastrophic regional war.

“Only by peering through the looking-glass can anybody think that by discriminating against Muslims, American Jews are somehow made safer." @hadarsusskind.bsky.social takes on the #TravelBan! www.newjewishnarrative.org/statements/t...

I'm thankful for the courage of the NYT to run this story by @peterbakernyt.bsky.social today. Jew-hatred is far bigger, and more multifaceted than the routine political discourse allows for. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Watch Ehud Olmert on CNN: “I believe that the majority of Israelis are sick and tired of these policies, of these statements, of what the terrible damage that was caused by this government to the moral integrity of the state of Israel and the people of Israel.” www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/m...

How is this not anti-Muslim bigotry? www.npr.org/2025/05/22/g...

My first messages this morning were to friends at @ajcglobal.bsky.social and CapJewishMuseum. This murder hits close to home for me. I am using it to remind myself of the humanity of victims of terrorism and war. Too often, the fullness of their lives is flattened by our political discourse.

This has been underreported: All but one Senate Dems signed onto a resolution critical of Israel's approach to Gaza. www.jta.org/2025/05/20/u...

HAPPENING NOW -- Senate debates resolution calling for delivery of aid to Gaza 46 Senators are sponsoring this. Every Democrat but one. That's a huge break from the past. Criticism of Israel used to be a political 3rd rail. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Strong words by Edna Arbel to the Knesset today: "When I was there, I thought that my family and my government would work for my release as their only goal. I was right about my family, but not about the government... It is still choosing a military option that endangers the hostages...

Fighting antisemitism by increasing it, because this was never about antisemitism

67 released hostages in letter to Netanyahu & Trump: We, who were in Hamas tunnels, call on you... Free all our brothers and sisters from hell... Only a deal for the immediate return of all the hostages can bring a life of hope, unity, and let us rise again. img.haarets.co.il/bs/00000196-...
