@ProfDBernstein Disturbing (but understandable) why only 36% of Jews view either party as friendly to Jews

You would have to go back to at least the 1920s to find a precedent for more American Jews saying the Democratic Party is unfriendly to Jews than the GOP.

@jacobkornbluh @ZohranKMamdani nypost.com/2025/10/28/us-… For a candidate who claims to be concerned with antisemitism is there a reason why you have not mentioned this horrific hate crime. A Jewish man was assaulted in midtown 2 days ago in the middle of the day and ended up hospitalized with a brain bleed.

Famed Jewish actor Mandy Patinkin and his wife, actress Kathryn Grody, appears with Mamdani in a GOTV video. “We are going to win this because we have this extraordinary human being who’s going to lead our city…”

@ZohranKMamdani @carolmliao Why don’t you ever mention the Jewish hostages being starved and tortured and the fact that Hamas is holding the body of at least one American from NY (Omer Neutra). Why can’t you call for an end to the war, release of hostages, disarming of Hamas and aid for Gaza civilians?

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

@ProfDBernstein We are starving Israelis we kidnapped and are forcing them to dig their own grave.

The brazen evil of Hamas: World: we are concerned about reports of growing hunger in Gaza. Let’s pressure Israel. Hamas: Hey, look over here, we are starving Israelis that we kidnapped, and we are proud of it!

@ProfDBernstein There is also free cycle.

If you donate clothes in the US to Goodwill, less than 10 pc goes to their stores, 20-30 pc or so gets sold in bulk and mostly winds up in Africa, and the rest is turned into shoddy. If you know low income folks, they almost certainly no people who can use the clothes, if they can’t use it themselves. give it to them, or to a church that runs a free or low cost “closet” for those in need. (Though it’s not a bad thing that poor Africans can buy your clothes and a fraction of retail. It’s the stuff that goes to shoddy but is wearable that bothers me.

@ProfDBernstein I know. But Barnard students who interrupted Israel history class were expelled last month. Columbia may also be changing its approach.

@profkaminer Students arrested and suspended last Spring then went before a sympathetic faculty committee which let them off the hook.

What if instead of sending out pablum-filled press releases, Columbia (a) aknowledged its failures to enforce its own rules against Hamasnik protestors, along with allowing them to break the law; (b) announced that henceforth there will be zero tolerance for such rule and law-breaking, and mean it; (c) announce that it is changing the processes for enforcing its rules, so that faculty committees stock with Hamasnik sympathizers don't have the authority to let students charged with violated university rules off the hook for political reasons; and (d) scour its administration and faculty to ensure that no one who has personally expressed a willingness/desire to discriminate against Jewish or Israeli or Zionist students is in a position to discriminate against any of them. They can do that, while also making clear that no one will be penalized merely for expressing an opinion, no matter how offensive. And I don't think this should be legally required, but Columbia should do some soul-searching about the fact that its ME Studies Department is a font of hostility to Jewish, Israeli, and Zionist students, and consider ways to ameliorate that situation, so that students who are sympathetic to Israel can comfortably participate in ME studies along with others.

@ProfDBernstein They suspended the 4 Columbia students who participated in illegal building takeover earlier this week. One of them is 4th year med student (from Westport CT). Imagine good she could have done instead as Columbia educated dr.

@ProfDBernstein I know. It is just particularly insane to see all this nonsense about white supremacy when the murdered children are Yemenite.

@profkaminer There doesn't have to be any logic to this.

After a day of Hamasnik claims that the redheaded Bibas boys, brutally murdered by Hamas, were symbols of white supremacy, today's Hamasnik propaganda leads off with a little blonde Palestinian girl.

@ProfDBernstein Hochul ordered it removed. nypost.com/2025/02/25/us-…

Why are NYC taxpayers paying for Hunter College to hire political activists (see "public facing" in the ad) to agitate on behalf of Palestine?

@OrinKerr @stevenfhayward Liberal students also seem to know a lot about her.

@stevenfhayward Is Greta Thunberg considered an important person in U.S. politics? I doubt most people in the U.S. know who she is.

You really wonder just when in this speech Vance is going to rip of his suit and reveal the Superman costume underneath. (Also, notice he waits for a laugh at the Thunberg line that doesn't come. Not even a murmur. Humorless twats.)

@ProfDBernstein And yet, nothing can top an anti-Zionist Seder. Reminds me of students who briefly skim the cliff notes and then monopolize the conversation.

“Next month we are going to have an anti capitalist Hanukkah party.” “What’s that?” “We decided we aren’t going to have any gelt.” Satire in a dead.

@Maccabeats Perfect response!

Always happy to take fan requests, especially if it's the Beatles.

@ProfDBernstein @NYTimesOpinion I’m sure “sensitive and tolerant souls” read your books as well.

If the @NYTimesOpinion had any self-respect, this tweet and the well-deserved ridicule it has received would be the end of Kristof's sinecure.

@OrinKerr True and yet my guess is that ALL the cashiers at Walmart and Target still needed to show up for work. No matter how upset they were.

This story from the Crimson has gone viral, but it’s worth noting how hazy it is on the details of what professors did, and how many did it. (Criticizing faculty for overreacting is fair, but I wonder if it’s itself an overreaction to criticize faculty without more details.)

@TerriGerstein @benyamincohen I also think 50% of Jewish governors are named Josh - just something to keep in mind if you are a Jewish man with gubernatorial ambitions. And while 6% are named Josh currently 4% of governors are Josh S’s.

@benyamincohen If you're a Jewish guy in your 50s named Josh and you're NOT governor, you might feel a little left out.

This is the content I'm here for.

@sforman1030 @ProfDBernstein As was pointed out above there are at least 2 Jewish presidents. No idea if more. I wonder how accurate report in general is. I’m a professor at Baruch and hard to talk about CUNY generally since culture (and antisemitism) varies enormously between school.

@ProfDBernstein I realize there are some demographic changes going on that play into this, but Jewish assimilation can't be the sole reason there are none.

@ProfDBernstein Is that t satire? She does all the gentle parenting videos.

@ProfDBernstein Dumbest antisemite is a VERY competitive category,
