EXPLAINER: Neo-Nazis are celebrating Elon Musk's salute. The @ADL is defending it. Their leadership is endangering all of us by enabling the Trump administration’s dangerous antisemitism. Tell the ADL to retract their defense.

People of every faith should be demanding action, but Jews — whose safety is being co-opted in order to justify what is happening — must be the loudest. This is the time to insist with moral clarity. 12/.

Hunger in Gaza is a deliberate strategy by those who control every aspect of Palestinian life: the Israeli government, its primary (often solo) global backer, the Trump regime, and the lawmakers enabling the situation. 11/.

We as Jews are not only commanded to feed the hungry, אם היה רעב, יאכילוהו, but to repair the conditions that create the hunger — in this case, U.S. support for the Israeli government’s siege of 2.2 million Palestinians. 9/.

While Bend the Arc’s work is focused here in the United States, the urgency of this situation — and my Jewish values — make it a moral imperative for me as a Jewish leader to speak out, especially because devastation abroad threatens everything we’re fighting for here at home.

This is why, when we call for resumption of food aid, we must also demand an immediate ceasefire and medical access for the world’s doctors and health professionals to the whole of Gaza. 7/.

Experts call this “refeeding syndrome," and teams of medical professionals and working hospitals are needed to prevent it from causing paralysis, respiratory distress, heart attacks, brain damage, and organ failure. 6/.

Doctors tell us that food itself cannot save those already impacted by starvation. In fact, sudden intake of food without sophisticated medical care could put victims at even further risk of permanent disability and death. 5/.

Today, as images of emaciated children become shockingly common, we are seeing fellow Jewish institutions and leaders, who had previously either denied the facts or sat on the sidelines, finally speak up. To stop this crisis, everyone is needed. 3/.

Food aid to Gaza is critical. And it won’t be enough. A statement from Bend the Arc CEO, Jamie Beran: . Yesterday, 35 rabbis were arrested in Washington, D.C. and New York City. A day prior, another eight rabbis were arrested. Tens of thousands of Jews have taken action. 🧵

It will not be enough to send food aid to Gaza. Starvation’s effects are not reversed with food alone. It requires entire systems of rehabilitation that demands an end to attacks on Gaza and entry of unprecedented humanitarian and medical personnel.

May every piece of bread we break this shabbat be a stark reminder of hunger in Gaza. May every discussion begin with how Israel must end their starvation of Palestinians. May every prayer remind us why its our responsibility never to be silent.

A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.
