Hi

[Partners for Progressive Israel @Partners4Israel]

"We will reignite Zionism in America only by taking sides". Thank you, R' @EricYoffie. But, as we've been saying for decades, this taking of sides has to include a thorough rejection of the Occupation, not just support for democracy within the Green Line. https://t.co/r89DwrAY1E

We Thought anti-Semitism Was No Threat to U.S. Jews. We Were Wrong https://t.co/anvV1FxvJH

The greatest problem of Trump's executive order, by far, is the threat that it potentially poses to free speech and the First Amendment. https://t.co/AVI4Xa1vEl

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

What were American Jews to make of Trump, this bigoted, incompetent, and shallow president, who possesses near-fascistic tendencies, and yet, at times, is seemingly a friend of the Jews? https://t.co/AVI4Xa1vEl

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

Most American Jews...take the positions they take on Israel/Palestine and religious pluralism precisely because they support the premises of Zionism and Israel as a Jewish state. Because they care, and they are engaged. https://t.co/6RGxyNZHE1

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

To boost his base, Trump pushes racism. And he switches on his ‘Zionism’ for the same reason https://t.co/w0RM434m7w

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

Trump doesn’t really hate people of color. Just like he doesn’t really love Israel https://t.co/6nkAhl7PqO

Because Iran is so dangerous, a sane and sensible strategy is needed by Israel and the West to limit Iranian subversion and to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. https://t.co/3yrEtXanHH

Congratulations Avigdor Lieberman for bringing down Netanyahu. Thank you for giving me a good laugh by pretending to be a champion of religious freedom. https://t.co/LTQSKDOMtB

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

I am perplexed—and angered—by those American Jews who suggest that their Jewish lives can somehow be separated from their connection to Israel. https://t.co/MtJkbIqSUO

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

American Jewish mainstream – the 90% of American Jews who are not Orthodox – feels that what is coming on religious issues in Israel is disastrous. https://t.co/EEDEzKVe88

In the sycophantic buddy movie that Bibi produced with America’s unpredictable President, Bibi has burned bridges with Democratic Party nurtured carefully for nearly a century https://t.co/wj9e09xhAv

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

What Dershowitz is proposing as a protection for democracy does precisely the opposite, creating the possibility that a Prime Minister serving multiple terms can indefinitely escape indictment for a serious crime. https://t.co/rUIujInvBb

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

Why in heaven’s name is Dershowitz jumping into the political cesspool that Bibi has created for himself? https://t.co/rUIujInvBb

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

.@RepRashida and @netanyahu are allies in a one-state solution for Israel. @RepRashida is honest about her intentions. @netanyahu is not. https://t.co/ZlIRS27BBB

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

On the two-state solution, Bibi's been adamantly for, adamantly against, and adamantly equivocal. https://t.co/IAJuCvwgUI

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

Even after four terms as Israel’s PM, U.S. Jews don’t know where Bibi stands on peace and war. https://t.co/IAJuCvwgUI

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

When an Arab throws a stone for the purpose of maiming and killing, it is a terrorist attack. And when a Jew throws a stone for the same purpose, he is a terrorist in precisely the same way that an Arab is https://t.co/RZGNW4pOAZ

[Eric Yoffie @EricYoffie]

You call the terror suspects "children." That's a linguistic trick. When Palestinian youths commit abominable crimes we in the Jewish community hardly ever refer to them as "children." https://t.co/RZGNW4pOAZ
