We can’t look away. The Israeli government’s decision to replicate the mass destruction of Gaza in Lebanon doesn’t make anyone safer and erodes the values so many of us were raised to uphold. For American Jews, this is a moment to speak honestly: This path isn’t moral or sustainable. A better future for Israelis, Palestinians and Lebanese won’t come from more devastation.

Across southern Lebanon’s lush, undulating vistas, Israel is razing border villages to pave the way for a broader occupation. Satellite images and video footage show streets reduced to rubble, with little left to mark where homes and businesses once stood nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@AbdulElSayedHQ Indeed it is not complicated. You are a hypocrite, a demagogue, a propagandist, a Jew hater, and anti-American. You will use our rights, freedoms, and systems to remove our rights and freedoms and tear down our democracy.

ABDUL EL-SAYED: If you're more frustrated by the idea that I would campaign with Hasan Piker than the idea that we have backstopped a genocide or that we continue to rob people of getting basic healthcare, I think you don't understand morals.

A good education should teach us the logical fallacy of generalizing where “generics” are unwarranted. Politics is poisonous because its vocabulary is blunt & flat as a viper’s face. Either/or is the debased cousin of both/and. Yes—there are surely racists in the US; but they do not constitute the US. Why make statements like this except to further the division?

Hasan Piker: “America is, in its foundation, a white supremacist country. This is very frustrating for Republicans to hear, this is even frustrating for liberals to hear sometimes, but it’s just the truth”

Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

@jstreetdotorg When exactly are the Palestinians going to reject antisemitism and accept Israel? Because until then, they are not serious people.

@mattyglesias The upshot for people like me whose family was decimated by people who wore Nazi uniforms is that we can’t be in the same political party. It’s a disgrace.

What is the upshot of the Platner tattoo discourse? Let's say I find his story fishy. I'm supposed to worry that this seemingly left-wing guy supported by all the left-wing people is secretly a Nazi just pretending to be a progressive populist?

@JoyceCarolOates To say Israel (the Jews) caused) America to start a war is just a variation on the Jews control the banks, the weather, Hollywood, or whatever it is that you wish to control yourself. That people are repeating this trope doesn’t make it more authentic.

starting a war on impulse, at the instigation of a foreign country, may turn out to be T***p's most self-destructive act, ironically. his lurid fantasies of bombs, killing, mayhem, himself as a great military figure deserving an Arc of Triumph, have had unfortunate results in real life. all T***p is suffering is low polls, critical press. what of actual suffering, deaths? how many Iranians? how many wounded or dead Americans? T***p neither knows nor cares to know.

Democrats made Al Franken resign over some flimsy allegations and a bad joke because they were worried about alienating women. Now, we’ve got a Senate candidate with a literal Nazi tattoo who’s into antisemitic conspiracy theories no one seems to give a shit. Maybe we’ll beat Susan Colins, but at what cost? All we’re doing is proving the right wing is correct. Jews are no longer safe in our party. We have no excuse to not have found a different candidate.

“Last March, a fog took hold in my head and never left. It settled there somewhere between the moment a DHS agent asked me, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ and the moment I realized that I would miss the birth of my first child,” writes Khalil. A year ago, the Trump administration unlawfully arrested Khalil at his home and detained him for 104 days. “I walk free now, only after an army of lawyers sued the administration for targeting me because of my pro-Palestine speech. But the government is relentless in targeting me,” he writes. “So when I walk, I watch my back.” “When strangers approach me and ask, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ — the same words in the same expectant tone the DHS agent used before the handcuffs — I do not know if they want to shake my hand or spit in my face. I do not know whether they will say, ‘Thank you for what you're doing,’ or follow me through midtown aggressively shouting, ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’ Both have happened. At first glance, I can never tell them apart.” In a new essay, Khalil writes about grappling with these two truths: “That I walk through the city afraid and that the city, in small and persistent ways, tells me I am welcome. That I am watched and that I am seen.” Read it in full: nymag.visitlink.me/tM03B5

Some breaking news tonight in NY-10: Dan Goldman just announced he’s dropping $1 million into his own campaign AND that he’ll personally match all contributions above that!! Can you chip in a few bucks to help me fight back? I can’t match your contributions — but together we can show NY-10 is not for sale. secure.actblue.com/donate/lander-…

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

Today Israel is celebrating its independence. Their independence came at our expense. While they celebrate may they won’t forget, there is another people here, bowed under occupation.

@jstreetdotorg The issue is near universal antisemitism among Palestinians and a refusal to live in peace alongside a Jewish state. Try treating the Palestinians like they are responsible for decades of aggression driven by Jew hatred.

Netanyahu didn’t create this injustice himself, and his exit won’t fix it. The issue is decades of occupation. The 40 Senate Democrats who voted to block arms sales are reflecting a broader shift: Americans, and American Jews, don’t see these actions as aligned with our values. jstreetdotorg.substack.com/p/democrats-ar…
