It's infuriating that the applause line in Bibi's Knesset speech today about the next phase of the ceasefire plan was "the next phase is not reconstruction [of Gaza]."

Mamdani draws lines around how Jews should use β€˜sacred spaces’ Zohran Mamdani entered the debate over when it's acceptable to protest outside a synagogue following a demonstration at Park East.

A rare, nuanced take on a very real issue by @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social: forward.com/news/antisem...

There were protests outside of the synagogue at my niece's bat mitzvah in MI last month... That was less nuanced IMHO.

Most Jewish Americans oppose Trump's university funding cuts over antisemitism, poll shows The Ipsos survey found that a majority of American Jews are "somewhat or very concerned" by campus antisemitism but dislike Trump's approach to combating it.

American Jews are not idiots.

By nearly 3 to 1, American Jews believe that Trump is using antisemitism as an β€œexcuse” to β€œpenalize and tax college campuses.”

Shooting in Jerusalem Leaves at Least 6 Dead

Following Laura Loomer's lead, the US is repeating an egregious Holocaust-era mistake Laura Loomer may have persuaded the Trump team to pause medical-humanitarian visas for children from Gaza β€”Β future generations will weep.

Yes, the decision to stop letting Gazan children come to the US for medical treatment is morally bankrupt.

And yes, @hadarsusskind.bsky.social calls it out in strong terms.

I don't want to say anything about this video other than that it is painful and it needs to be seen. Otherwise, it speaks for itself.

I will add my gratitude to @vanhollen.senate.gov for his role. I say that as an Israeli-American and a resident of Maryland.

Trump cuts made campuses less safe for Jewish students, says former Dept. of Education official Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon, who is Jewish, highlighted what she described as Republican hypocrisy on antisemitism.

Why won't Republicans condemn Trump administration's antisemitism?

@repbonamici.bsky.social explains: "because that would require real and meaningful commitment to rooting out antisemitism from the top down. Instead, [they] are weaponizing the real problems... to defund colleges and universities.
