Another Haaretz piece that I am struggling with, but this, in particular, just makes me feel like the "relationship" between Israel and the diaspora is — in the eyes of many Israelis — that the diaspora sends money while being dismissed as lesser Jews. Not healthy!

Pretty blatant case of anti-Zionism morphing into Antisemitism.
Still processing my feelings about this piece but it reifies my belief that a certain portion of the "pro-Palestine" left is interested less in actively helping Palestinians than in punishing and publicly humiliating Israelis 🎁🔗

Folks really do need to understand that there may have been multiple ways to lose this one but there wasn't really a way to win it, because truly winning went off the table until at least 2026 in 2024.

Elon Musk made a point of allowing him back on twitter. They're both Nazis. Treat them as such.
Nick Fuentes, a person who once called Adolf Hitler “awesome,” has more than 1 million followers on Elon Musk’s X.
Now, he finds himself a central figure in an online battle over the future of the American conservative movement.

This is really not a healthy response to "Zohran Mamdani condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn." Which is not actually something that has to do with Zionism at all. It is bad that parts of the left are becoming this conspiratorial and unmoored from evidence.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
