@souljagoyteller I don't see anything in liberalism that teaches "pride." I'm liberal, too. It's a teaching about rights, freedoms, constraints, and trade-offs. Zionism is a proud tradition, and no Jew can be "proud" without it.

[Matthew Abelson @AbelsonRabbi]

@AuronMacintyre This is a caricature, not serious. Be a proud isolationist, instead of a petty one. @joelpollak's point is not that the "war in Iran" can't pause but that @JDVance unnecessarily swiped at Israel, our ally. I suppose isolationism and pride don't go together.

[Reihan Salam @reihan]

One interesting and underappreciated development: as AIPAC has become a bogeyman in Democratic politics, wealthy tech workers of Muslim origin are powering American Priorities, the anti-AIPAC effort backing DSA candidates in NYC and elsewhere.

This is a social world I know a bit by virtue of my background, and its rising political clout has brought to mind something I touch on in my essay for @SapirJournal:

"Together, the integration paradox and religious attrition explain something that might otherwise seem puzzling: why the most committed and articulate voices of Muslim anti-Americanism in the United States are not marginalized, dispossessed, under-assimilated newcomers. Rather, they are privileged, cosmopolitan, first- and second-generation insiders who lead largely secular lives."

Why is Third Worldism proving so seductive to the most upwardly mobile, influential, high-status members of America's fastest-growing religious minority? This is not a story about failed assimilation. Rather, it is about the changing character of assimilation.

The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world.

Not remotely America First. It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region.

Overdue. Let’s go.

Part of the issue is that Steven thinks publishing in this rag is important and meaningful.

@halperinoded בגלל התחלופה האינסופית של ישראלים וזרים. כל פעם צריכים להכיר את הקבוצה מחדש.

[or ben barak @27Orbenb]

@halperinoded הליגה הישראלית בכדורסל היא מוצר סביר שמוגש בצורה נוראית. אין שום הצדקה בעולם שהפלייאוף בישראל יתחיל בחודש יוני. צריך לקצר את העונה ולהאריך את הפלייאוף כי הקהל רוצה לראות כדורסל טוב ותחרותי ולא סיבוב שלישי ורביעי מאותו דבר

[GiladY @juldush]

@halperinoded שני סנט שלי כעוקב וכאוהד שהולך למשחקים של גליל עליון (כשמתקיימים):
במהלך העונה הרגילה הפוקוס של הגדולות על אירופה והליגה לא מעניינת, ממילא כולן נפגשות בפיינל.
אין יציבות, אין הרגלי צפיה, בנוי כענף לעכברים מתעניינים ולא בילוי משפחתי.
פערי רמות אדירים
מלא זרים.
יותר מידי קבוצות

Incredible day with @PhillyMayor.

Cheesesteaks are one of the great things that bring people together.

From improving public safety to strengthening our neighborhoods, we’re focused on delivering results for the people of Philadelphia. Grateful for our partnership.

We are a maritime nation, bordering on both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Our commerce depends on safe and secure sea lanes of communication.

President Trump’s commission to our military is simple: to achieve Peace Through Strength.

@Microinteracti1 @FoxNews Clarify Article 5. I think you’re wrong that going “alone” negates the “attack on all.” Iran is attacking the US.

[Matthew Abelson @AbelsonRabbi]

@professord70 @iiwasinthee212 How do you know about the “Original Israelites”? I think the key is you need to discard “race” as a category of thinking. That doesn’t mean you’re denying heritage and ancestry. Jews are a people - always have been. The physiognomy is not the critical issue. How we live is.
