@FoxmanAbraham Abe, thank you. And sorry for the much belated response. Good to hear your (digital) voice!

@CohlerEsses Great for you and greater yet for the Haredi community. Looking forward to reading Shtetl !

Some friends have expressed surprise at my involvement in Shtetl, a new news outlet focused on the Haredi community. Today, the NY Daily News’ lead opinion piece describes the back story of my own life that explains it all. tinyurl.com/bdd9z9hn

@solanaonline You’ve captured your own essence.

@solanaonline That's awesome. I'm so happy for you!

forward.com/news/484735/uk… The Forward has published my final story from the Ukraine Border: In Former Killing Grounds, A Reversal of History

To understand the foreshadowing of this clueless withdrawal, from the very start of our entry in 2001, see my story about a liquor company's clueless foray into Kabul just 2 months after 9/11. I was there: Just posted at The Forward. bit.ly/2Xrgx7u

I just posted my, uhmm... vigorous exchange with an anti-BDS friend: tinyurl.com/2ynt4zbp Warning: It's long. But I think it distills with clarity many of the complex issues that get thrown back and forth between opponents with fury, but without ever really engaging.

I know there's been a mountain of comment on Ben & Jerry's and Israel, but my recent FB post puts the company's action in a frame that does not even depend on the occupation to understand: tinyurl.com/hct6k9rz

I just published How Churchill and FDR Failed Where Trump Triumphed [warning: satire] link.medium.com/Kd6FHZUZK9

@goIdnangeI I think it makes a difference not only that she’s white, but that she’s a white, young female. They stand for innocence. I’m not sure this would have gone the same way had it been a white teenage male, much less an older white male.

@TwitterMoments @tomfriedman-anti-Semite?: "I sure hope that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. THAT OVATION WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE ISRAELI LOBBY." nyti.ms/2GHzhW9

@cindi_leive The Forward published the acct of 1 of its own (male) editors, who as a 16-year-old Chicago hi-school student, helped his best friend and his friend’s girlfriend arrange an illegal abortion by an unknown dr far from their Chicago home.bit.ly/2KJy3bV

Apropos this (which is true), it would be important to hear men talking about wanting to protect the right which has given them so much as well. Many men are grateful for not having had to be parents when they weren’t ready. Guys—stories? #oneinfour twitter.com/KazukoSuzuki/s…

@cindi_leive FYI, the Forward published the acct of 1 of its own (male) editors, who as a 16-year-old Chicago hi-school student, helped his best friend and friend’s girlfriend arrange an illegal abortion by an unknown dr far from their home.bit.ly/2KJy3bV

My daughter's surgery to remove a brain tumor yesterday has subjected her to terrible post-op pain; but then there's this: goo.gl/eXCvXR

In 'Poland's Charlottesville,' as in U.S., the real story is the government's quasi -endorsement, not this (much larger) parade of openly racist militants in Warsaw itself. goo.gl/2t1btd

Is comparing Israel's actions to Nazi Germany's necessarily anti-Semitic? And should Congress pass legislation deciding that issue to guide U.S. enforcement of civil rights laws? goo.gl/i6MpoC
