Antisemitism never arrives wearing its real name. It almost never says “kill the Jews” on day one. It hides behind a mask. A slogan, an excuse, a “principle,” a political campaign. Today, the mask is “the Zionist regime.” Same hate. New packaging. But this tactic is not new.

Michael Walzer, at age 90, author of Just and Unjust War, offers significant insights into the Gaza war, the civilian trap set by Hamas, and Israeli response. @VanleerInst 1/2
On his 90th birthday, political scientist & war scholar Michael Walzer offers more moral clarity on the Gaza war than the entire Intl Association of Genocide Scholars and dozens of NGOs combined. (He proceeded to rebuke certain of Israel's war policies, as is totally legitimate.)

Let’s not forget: Rhodes snookered Americans about the Iran nuclear deal.
Senior Obama natl security official @brhodes has a NYT editorial on Biden & Gaza, full of odd claims abt the war, and plenty of tropes abt Jewish money & Israel keeping the Dems from winning elections and perfecting the world. 1/11 https://t.co/oZbLD5RDyo

Mark Kelly: “In 1991, when Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into backruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said the collapse of the Twin Towers meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags

This is the bottom line, & what it’s been about all along… “We already ran a 3,000 year experiment where Jews did not have a state, and it ended with Hitler’s hell, in Hitler’s ovens. We are not going to run that experiment again…and anybody who cannot understand the basic

And even this would be a horrific blow to justice, the rule of law, civic equality, and to Israel’s diminishing chances to recover morally and politically. But it may be the only way onward.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid says that President Isaac Herzog cannot grant Netanyahu a pardon unless he admits guilt, expresses remorse, and leaves political life immediately.

Jonah judges Nineveh based on what the Assyrian Empire has done and will do. God judges the city "where it is" at the moment. Are we enjoined to do the same?
@RabbiWolpe @Rabbishish @RabbiPoupko @austinrabbi @Ravbaruch @JasonBedrick @Daroff When Nineveh repented, God forgave Israel’s greatest enemy. The prophet Jonah couldn’t bear it. Want to see the lesson this story teaches our divided world – and us?👇 https://t.co/ev0RPtwhh9
