If you're not Jewish and you're deciding:
- what Jewish is or
- who is Jewish or
- which Jews are good or bad or
- how they should be Jewish, then
Please stop and check your priors.
If you don't believe Jews should be able to have politics that differ from yours, that they shouldn't be able to organize, that their communal institutions are fair game for harassment, that there is a nefarious conspiracy shared among Jews,
That is all textbook antisemitism

Short, smart thread.
Hamas is, and has always been, opposed to peace and normalcy. They derailed Oslo and now seem to have succeeded at stopping Biden's Israel/Saudi/PA normalization deal.
1/Hamas is a genocidal organization. It proved this when it initiated suicide bombings to derail the peace process in the 1990s between Israel and the Palestinians, and it demonstrated it again on 7/10; in 10 hours, it murdered more Jews in a single attack than at any time

This is a really sharp thread about the divide between liberals & leftists, their politics, the way it is shaping Jewish politics, and what a path forward might look like.
It is worth your time & consideration.
There's a heated disagreement among liberal Jews on how to approach left wing movements when goals are shared on the environment and economy but not on what is antisemitism and fair criticism of Israel.
Since 10/7 my policy goals remain the same, but my approach has changed. 🧵

Please read and give your thoughtful consideration to this important piece.
When antisemitism (or any prejudice!) doesn't fit a pre-determined narrative, it's too often ignored or, worse, outright denied. Instead, it needs to be acknowledged and understood.
Last week, two Jews were shot as they left morning prayers in Los Angeles. And yet, the twin attacks received little national attention, which is why you're probably hearing about them for the first time. I wrote about the antisemitism we don't discuss:

This is the nub of it. It's also really, really reminiscent of how Corbynism functioned/functions (which makes sense given all the cross-pollination!)

This is almost perfectly an example of what British Jews had to deal with during Corbynism.
Remember Jeremy's "friends"? Or his wreath laying? Or his opinions on murals? Or *countless other things*
It's pure, classic Jews Don't Count and it sucks.

This is great message discipline.
The wading in to the Bernie-Moskowitz fight to invoke the Holocaust + tikkun olam was... uh, less great, to be gentle and generous.

Genuinely: have you considered that WaPo ran an op-ed with a hed that were both dripping in tokenism? which any progressive would rightly instantly call out as bigotry.
It's one thing to be a dissident minority within a marginalized group. It's another to launder bigotry.

This thread is p misleading. Please see my (attempted lol :/ but you can see in replies?) thread below.
The tl;dr is that Zionism is an overwhelming supermajority position consistent with national polling, but the *term* Zionism doesn't the same support. It's interesting!

A new city east of Ariel doesn't serve Israeli interests because it will make separation harder.
Unilaterally defining the blocs (and including Ariel) makes much more sense, especially if done in conjunction with the demarcation of a provisional political (not security!) border

I'm not sure if you've seen the latest but I'm genuinely curious -- discovering Hamas' Intel center under and literally *powered by* UNRWA?

This is a good, nuanced thread.
Unfortunately, it's over 280 characters so it's multiple posts without being very memeable or catchy.
Take a minute and give it your time and consideration. It's worth it.
There is a world of difference between "I feel compassion for Palestinian civilians" and "there is only one solution intifada revolution." One is the statement of a thinking person retaining their humanity. The other is a slogan for idiots with bloodlust.

@HillelIntl
has a new poll concerning Jewish students' attitudes & experiences of campus, the protests, etc.
The results are extremely concerning & reflect yet another manifestation of the surge in antisemitism since 10/7.

As a liberal: I'm begging people -- including/especially progressives!!! who purport to care about this stuff -- to please learn about the pervasive, structural, systemic nature of antisemitism.
One-sided posts like this, evoking the blood libel, drip with that unconscious bias
On this Easter, let’s ponder Netanyahu’s indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, which has killed more than 20,000 women and children, and his restriction of humanitarian aid, which has pushed Palestinians to the brink of famine.

Question: FRV groups outfielders as a whole and doesn't compare them positionally, right? So Soto isn't just being compared to RF, etc.
