The fearmongering we have seen from some Jewish institutions and leaders surrounding Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is harmful, overblown, and risks needlessly deepening divisions in the city and in our community. 🧵

Today I am remembering my friend Yitzhak Rabin, and hoping that we can transform this fragile moment into a lasting peace—the cause for which he lived and died—that protects the dignity and security of Israelis and Palestinians alike. May his memory continue to be a blessing that

We do not join Jonathan Greenblatt in thanking the Heritage Foundation's President, Kevin Roberts, for trying to have it both ways. You can’t condemn antisemitism and not condemn those ushering it into the mainstream. You can’t be for Jewish safety and use dog whistles like

Nick Fuentes: “When we take power, the Jews will be needed to be given the death penalty, I’m far more concerned about that, then the non-white people…” Heritage: “We will defend platforming this at any cost”
