Thank you all! Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem!

Zack Polanski is about as hostile to Israel as you can possibly be. What these Green Party members object to is his Jewishness. A valuable lesson to anyone else thinking of throwing their fellow Jews under the bus: In the end, to the antisemites, a Jew is a Jew is a Jew. x.com/hoffman_noa/st…

Thank you, @AIJAC_Update, for this great video summarizing @EinatWilf, @emilykschrader, @HenMazzig, and my arguments against the notion that Israel “never wanted” peace with the Palestinians, presented at the Oxford Union.

We all said studies will be written about how utterly the mainstream media failed the public in its coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas since October 7. And now one has been. Shameful and embarrassing. Heads should roll, but they won't. x.com/EFischberger/s…

Shana Tova from Israel! שנה טובה!

After I made the case for Israel at the Oxford Union, a stranger asked me a question I couldn’t quite shake. As Rosh Hashanah approaches, I’ve come to think it has something important to say about the year ahead. My latest for Jerusalem Journal: jerusalemjournal.com/p/the-year-we-…

A wonderful evening celebrating America’s 250th Independence Day in Jerusalem. Israelis came together to celebrate Israel’s closest ally and the bonds between our two countries. Thank you to @USAmbIsrael Huckabee and the @USEmbassyJLM team for a fantastic celebration! 🇺🇸🇮🇱

My full speech at the Oxford Union, where I offered the closing argument against the proposition that Israel "never truly wanted peace with Palestine."

Shorter El-Sayed to Jews horrified that he justified the Temple Israel attack, perpetrated by a Lebanese-born terrorist with Hezbollah ties: “Sorry you feel that way.” x.com/Mark_Penn/stat…

@joshtpm Calm down, Josh. I did not suggest and do not believe that you are such a Jew. I agree that your record on these issues is strong, which is why I find your insistence on “getting to yes” on someone whose hostility to Jews and to Israel horrifies so many Michiganders and delights

@joshtpm I think some Jews—in Michigan, NYC, and elsewhere—put their partisan politics before their Jewish identities and I will never, ever get behind that. If we are not for ourselves, no one will be for us, and the fact that some Jews still don’t get that simply boggles the mind.

The fact that he said this *with Piker in the car* is just... *chef's kiss.* The bottom line is that El-Sayed won't condemn Piker because they share the same views—including the violently antisemitic ones Piker expresses openly and El-Sayed won't for fear of scaring off normies. x.com/GreatLakes_HQ/…

Abdul El-Sayed may now try to awkwardly distance himself from Hasan Piker, with whom he has fully aligned himself but who is turning out to be a political liability. But that will be a lie. They are aligned not despite Piker’s violent antisemitism but because of it.
