Equally thrilled to be a partner in the Movement Against Antizionism @adam_louis52328 Congrats to you. See more here: https://t.co/3MvpeioHc6
I'm thrilled to officially announce the launch of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ). The first MAAZ Conference will take place in Pittsburgh in Summer 2026 (details to come). MAAZ is a broad-based, non-partisan movement—Jewish and non-Jewish alike—working across

Contemporary antisemitism in Western institutions, particularly universities, is often rightly analyzed through frameworks of ideology, radicalism, or even mass migration. Yet these interpretive lenses, while capturing genuine dimensions of the crisis, and I personally like to

Antizionism is not classical antisemitism. In fact, there’s a strong argument to be made that it is far more similar to medieval anti-Judaism in several key respects. This has to do with the different sociological conditions in which these forms of anti-Jewish hatred take shape.

Every time I see someone like Professor Michael Ben-Gad, I remember why the academy was created and how far it has fallen. When his classroom turned into a ritual of antizionist rage, he kept teaching. That simple act shattered the illusion of their power. A cult cannot tolerate

How do people wake up one morning and attend the public hanging of their neighbors? The same way they woke up in Kyiv and gathered to witness the mass shooting of Jews at Babi Yar on September 29, 1941. Only a few decades apart, the era of antisemitism, once universally

What’s most revealing, if you read carefully through early PLO-associated texts—such as Fayez Sayegh’s 1965 Zionist Colonialism in Palestine or Jamil Hilal’s 1976 contributions to the Journal of Palestine Studies—is that the very attempt to frame Zionism as "settler colonialism"

Oh look, the people who built their entire identity on a foreign war now discover the virtue of minding their own business when it’s returned to sender.
I’m so tired of Israeli Jews prioritizing Zionism to the detriment of diaspora Jews. Mamdani is the best choice for NYC Jews even if Israeli Jews don’t like him. We can choose our own mayor

Mamdani will not bring Sharia law to New York City, nor will he safeguard its Jewish community. His politics are subtler but no less destructive. He will institutionalize antizionism, embedding it within the institutions of the city. Once that happens, Jewish presence becomes

It just sounds like you’re doing a horrible job at governing.
Jews are welcome in Aston. Who are not welcome are foreign racist, vile hooligans. £millions of tax payers money will be spent to house these fans whilst we have crumbing public services, cuts in winter fuel allowance, closure of youth centres and increase in Council Tax.

Hamas refuses to disarm. The Americans insist they must, or they will be disarmed by force-but Washington won't send its own soldiers. The Saudis have now said they will withdraw from Gaza's reconstruction if Hamas does not lay down its weapons and hand over control. France, the

👏 @SamuelJHyde11 nails it. Mamdani mirrors what I’ve seen in my home country, South Africa, with the ANC for decades. The language of justice turned into an industry of grievance. What’s scary is the thought of New Yorkers, (like ANC voters in South Africa) would still vote for

It’s almost as if a maximum pressure campaign on Hamas, not Israel was always going to end the war. War is over. Hostages return. Conventional wisdom proves again bereft of wisdom.

In this “enlightenment”, notice how he left not only Zionism, but Judaism. Revealing. As for pacifism, it’s a counterfeit form of ethics, fixating only on the imagined moral purity of the pacifist—who, in truth, only pretends to be virtuous while leaving others to do the hard
Me. I wrote this. I used to be a Zionist and supported the war in Gaza. I since had a moment of enlightenment and have embraced Buddhism and pacifism. It’s called personal growth. I can’t help where I come from, but I can choose where I am going.

Starmer, like so many Western politicians before him, described the Manchester attack as the work of “one vile individual.” It is the soothing lullaby that leaders sing to their publics after every terror attack, as though reducing mass ideological violence to the pathology of

The UN General Assembly’s decision on two states with a “right of return” is, in effect, a decision for two Arab states. For anyone who mistakenly thought this was a vision of peace, a true achievement, or Arab and global unity around a positive vision—well, it isn’t. There is
