@TomerPersico@GershomG Tomer, did you hear the podcast? the synopsis is very misleading (and obviously written for clicks). I don’t agree with everything Bartov says but the interview is much more nuanced and doesn’t sound like this at all
@SpitzZev@aarondmiller2@NYTmag@RuthMargalit@YairGolan1 Great, so you know the context and that in the interview he was discussing government ministers saying there are no innocents in Gaza and calling for dropping an atomic bomb. You obviously have more of an issue with Golan than with those ministers
@CatherineUNIT2@faniaoz@ezekopel What do you mean? Mamdani is the one who’s made a conflict in a distant land he’d never visited the one constant throughout his public life.
@23XIfan88@portraitinflesh I don’t know what they (Obama, Mamdani) believe, but their public policy positions are very very far from each other. Spanberger’s positioning is close to Obama’s, which is basically the point of this post
@academic_la @hamitgal כן, אבל ההערה היא לגבי הניסוח המכוון שלך: אתה אומר ״זו ישראל״ וקוראים באנגלית מסיקים שיש בישראל קונצנזוס של תמיכה בה, כשלמעשה אף אחד מחוץ לממשלה ולפורום קהלת לא שמע עליה מעולם
@PeterBeinart Stop it, please. You well know that the majority of this city’s Jewish population doesn’t have “leaders”, and this isn’t about Israel for them. It’s about literal fear for their own safety in NY, a place many have called home for generations. Try some empathy, maybe?
@PeterBeinart@PeterBeinart I’m pretty sure I saw you comment 2-3 days ago on this platform that the clip she references, about NY police/IDF and other things Makdani said there, WAS in fact problematic and crossed a line
@_ZachFoster You’re saying FDR’s administration sought to offer refuge to the Jews of Europe and was blocked by some Jews in the U.S. who held such power over the government? Who were these people and what else were they able to achieve?
@naamuli84 מעולם לא שמעתי מידע כזה. אבל גם אם היה איזשהו אמריקאי ציוני עם דעות מוזרות כאלה, ההשפעה האנטישמית הגלויה על ממשל FDR היתה גדולה לעין ערוך מזו של יהודי כלשהו, וזו הסיבה שיהודי אירופה לא זכו למקלט בארה״ב לפני או בזמן המלחמה
