rav soloveitchik's real self-identification with the biblical joseph is not about choosing zionism over the agudah, it's about studying political economy and recognizing that Western modernity was marked by the rise of a new economic regime

@levidmorrow What’s up with that? How much they leave out and why?

@kolboded I know Twitter often feels like shouting into the void but the clarity of your thought has truly been a “lone voice” on all this which only makes it all the more valuable. Please know your words have mattered and helped keep me sane during a very difficult time here in Israel.

כולם אומרים שכדי להפסיק את המלחמה צריך להיפטר מנתניהו. ההפך הוא הנכון- עד שלא תיפסק המלחמה לא ניפטר מנתניהו. המלחמה היא הקונצנזוס הבסיסי. למה שיווצר רוב נגד נתניהו אם לפיד וגנץ וגולן רוצים גם הם להמשיך להלחם? הפסקת המלחמה לבדה תיצור שינוי. לא קוראים להפסקת המלחמה? תמכתם בנתניהו.
