If you would like to understand the critical and fundamental -- indeed probably unbridgable -- differences between the Zionist Opposition parties and the "Arab Parties" impeding the formation of a coalition between them, read my thread here ๐
The Joint List is explicitly anti-Zionist, and its 2026 election platform advocates constitutional changes that conflict with Israel's existing definition as the nation-state of the Jewish people. It also adopts positions on security, military service, Palestinian refugees, and Israel's foreign policy that conflict with those of most Zionist parties.
These aren't mere statements by individual MKs, but are in the Joint List's official electoral platform -- jointly issued by the Joint List's constituent parties, Hadash, Ta'al and Balad. https://t.co/9s7uhigYM2

Washington should continue insisting that Lebanon retain the weapons seized from Hezbollah and urge Lebanese investigators to follow the current case up the chain and bring those responsible to trial, with meaningful punishments for those convicted, writes @DavidADaoud:

Hezbollah is reportedly reestablishing its presence and rebuilding intelligence networks in three southern Lebanese villages designated to test the groupโs disarmament. The reports come amid stalled negotiations over independent verification of the LAFโs operations, writes @DavidADaoud: https://t.co/dE0IMEqF72
โTsaddikim alive and not physically present.โ Bro. BRO.
Had to split the next essay in two. First part is โNo, itโs not heresy or Avodah Zara to believe the Rebbe is Mashiach.โ
Second is โYes, you can ask Tsaddikim alive and not physically present to bless you and pray for you.โ
Iโm sure this will lead to level-headed discussions.

@shevereshtus Your response begs this question, which is not controversial and is a very Jewish formulation

Do you condemn Meshichistim?
You make my head hurt.
Since we're on King David - Scripture has no problem describing him as having died, not just being "not physically present" like he's on some sabbatical or senior skip day.

"So David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David." (1 Kings 2:10).
Since you think Rashi is p'shat -- when he comments on the use of that phrase in Genesis 47:30, he says: ืึธืฆึดืื ืึผ ืึฐึผืึธื ืึธืงืึนื ืึฐืฉืืึนื ืฉึฐืืึดืืึธื ืขึดื ืึฒืืึนืชึธืื ืึดืื ืึทืึฐึผืึดืืขึธื ืึฐืึนื ืึทืงึฐึผืืึผืจึธื, ืึฐึผืืึน: "ืึทืึดึผืฉึฐืืึทึผื ืึธึผืึดื ืขึดื ืึฒืึนืชึธืื", ืึฐืึทืึทืจ ืึธึผืึฐ "ืึทืึดึผืงึธึผืึตืจ ืึฐึผืขึดืืจ ืึธึผืึดื" (ืืืืื ื ืืณ).

"He died at a ripe old age, having enjoyed long life, riches and honor, and his son Solomon succeeded him as king." (1 Chronicles 29:28)
As for the phrase ืืื ืืื ืืฉืจืื ืื ืืงืื
1) No objections, because I take it to refer to me, and I've styled myself a messianic figure. What's good for the tsaddik, is good for the gander, so take that.
2) I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that means King David is playing Where's Waldo. It's not literal.
3) Proof of that is the origin of the phrase in Bavli Rosh Hashana 25a -- it was a password or secret phrase, not a literal statement, created by David's descendant Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi so R' Hiyya could signal that it was Rosh Hodesh.
I could explain it, but this here already does it: https://t.co/E4DQlPP5BV

The Palestine issue so shoe-horned in there that one is left wondering whether the rest is just window-dressing to facilitate its acceptance. Intersectionality, but "post-woke."
My roadmap for a post-woke Left in @unherd.
1. Focus relentlessly on affordability
2. Demonstrate competence at every level of government
3. Stay principled on Palestinian rights while reimagining the US relationship with Israel.
4. Resist the twin temptations of cultural overreach and political retribution

Mehdi prefers his Jewish American cousins who suck up to *checks notes* Hamas and who, sharing his level of mendacity, accused @jk_rowling of Holocaust denial.
I feel sorry for my Jewish American cousins who stand for such progressive and liberal and democratic values but are constantly represented, at a community org level, by leaders who want to suck up to 'great replacement' fascists.
