1/ In case you missed it: on Sunday evening, Jason Stanley was invited to speak at the Jewish Community of Frankfurt to commemorate the November Pogrom of 1938 (referred to as 'Kristallnacht' in English). His talk was cut short after members of the audience shouted him down. German interview below:

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.
I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.
I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.
I know where my allegiance lies.

This is embarrassing. I’m embarrassed for Bret Stephens. If you’re going to write why a mayoral candidate scares you, shouldn’t you name some bad things you think he’d do as mayor, not rely on negative interpretation of words he said in college?

This is absolutely horrific. To attack a synagogue and kill people, and that too on Yom Kippur. Vile and inexcusable.

Zohran Mamdani, with a record of anti-Israel activism, won over some Jews in the New York City mayoral primary, but confirmed other Jews' worst fears about the American left.
Mamdani’s Success Spotlights a Deepening Rupture Among U.S. Jews
While Zohran Mamdani won over some Jewish supporters, other Jewish Democrats suggested that concerns about their community’s safety are being dismissed in a movement and a city they helped build.

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family during the first night of Passover is chilling, tbh. Maybe it has nothing to do with them being Jewish. But we don’t know that right now. The historical echoes are bad, either way.
