Just to state the obvious:
It’s entirely possible to oppose aid to Israel— whether on moral, foreign policy, or financial grounds — without promoting the fiction that such aid, or Israel itself, is responsible for what Americans pay for their groceries.

This is the modern-day equivalent of a Medieval lord telling his serfs that the reason they are starving is because Jewish moneylenders stole all their money.
New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That’s why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel “unconditionally,” but never made that promise to you.
For @BHL both France & the U.S. face “a new phenomenon—in its scale, its nature, and its nihilistic and desperate character. And the fact is, no politician seems ready to confront it.” wsj.com/opinion/france-on-th…

When Pope Leo XIV reached out to AJC on the first day of his papacy, he reaffirmed the enduring bond between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people.
At a moment when dialogue across faiths is more important than ever, we thank His Holiness for his generosity, his leadership, and his powerful commitment to fight antisemitism.
"Hasan Piker has used hate-filled, incendiary rhetoric that divides Americans and his presence in Minnesota is not welcome." - Rep. Betty McCollum
The Rep. is a longtime very harsh critic of Israel. If she is saying this, Dems should listen.

Worth reading from @speechboy71 on the painful dilemmas that Jewish voters in Michigan are grappling with.

A year after being called out for using the antisemitic term “Shylock” and claiming he didn’t know it was problematic, Trump has used it again.
This is not an accident. Normalizing antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories is deeply dangerous. forbes.com/sites/siladityara…
"the very least a responsible publication can do is provide balanced and accurate coverage, and make room for Jewish grief"
Good letter in @BostonGlobe today from @ADL_NewEngland director @SamanthaHJoseph

מה שקורה ביו״ש זה טרור יהודי בחסות ממשלת ישראל.
פעם נוספת, בתוך יממה אחת בלבד, חוליות של פורעי חוק אלימים תוקפות אזרחים זרים - והפעם דיפלומטים ובעלי תפקידים רשמיים.
מול עינינו מתרחש פיגוע מדיני וביטחוני חסר תקדים. קומץ עבריינים שורף את מעט הלגיטימציה שנותרה למדינת ישראל, מסכן את כוחות הביטחון ופוגע בהתיישבות ביהודה ושומרון ובביטחון הלאומי.
אף אחד בהנהגה לא יוכל לטעון שלא העירו אותו בזמן ושלא התריעו בפניו.

Heidi Levine, photojournalist for @wapo suffered serious injuries from vicious & cowardly attack. Heidi is US Citizen, clear ID as journalist. Details of who under investigation, but those who attacked unarmed reporter should spend YRS in prison. We have called for a full investigation, arrest, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law to whoever participated in this. Attacking a female photographer is despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards. Dishonorable act of senseless violence.
President Herzog is right to speak out against extremist violence being perpetrated by some Jewish residents of the West Bank. These attacks are reprehensible and indefensible. The failure by the state to protect Palestinian civilians is a moral stain on the government.
I just called Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was brutally attacked by violent rioters on Friday.
As President of the State of Israel, I strongly condemn this outrageous and shocking violence, both the terrible attack on Heidi and other grave incidents of violence, such as what took place today in Taybeh.
I expressed my deepest sorrow to Heidi and apologized for what she went through.
The despicable behavior of the perpetrators of this attack does not represent the citizens or the values of the State of Israel.
Israel is a democratic state governed by the rule of law, and it must act with full force against every form of violence. Each incident is being thoroughly investigated, and we await the findings.
All government, security, and law enforcement authorities must use every means at their disposal to investigate thoroughly, apprehend these lawbreakers, and bring them to justice with the fullest extent of the law.
On behalf of the entire nation, I wish Heidi good health and a speedy recovery.

We strongly condemn the recent violence in which Israeli extremists attacked Palestinians, burned olive trees, and injured a Washington Post photographer. We wish Heidi Levine a full and speedy recovery from her injuries.
We call for an urgent, coordinated effort from Israeli authorities to bring an end to the wave of Israeli extremist violence that has harmed civilians throughout the West Bank.
Order must be restored, and violent extremists prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

In which I sit down with my friend & teacher @mdarawshe of @givathaviva to talk about how we can and must work together to achieve the full social & political equality of Israel’s Arab citizens.
Listen, like & share. Comments welcome.
What does a shared society in Israel actually look like?
On Boston Jewish Now, @BurtonJM speaks with @mdarawshe of @givathaviva about the work underway in schools, communities, and workplaces to fulfill Israel’s founding promise of equality.

It’s not about Israel.
To the extent that Jews are feeling politically homeless right now, it’s because we see Democratic party leaders failing to stand up to gaslighting antisemites like you, or, worse, telling us to ‘take one for the team’.
Not just for Cambridge residents!
Please stand with our community, in person and online, as we face yet another effort to go way beyond criticism—even harsh criticism— of Israel’s government in ways that make our Jewish community here feel unwelcome in our city.
Details below.
JCRC stands with our partners in Cambridge's Jewish community in opposing these measures and calling for a strong turnout at Monday's meeting, both in person and on Zoom.
