I don’t accept the premise that any of Israeli gov’s actions, however much you may abhor them, is “making Jews in the diaspora unsafe.”
A foreign government is not twisting the arm of otherwise sane and non-bigoted individuals to discriminate against random Jewish individuals in the diaspora.
I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.
It was by design.
The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times “could not corroborate” my story despite talking to two of my friends.
I gave them the contact information for five friends.
They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.
They simply did not call the other three.
I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.
I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked.
I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.
As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim.
My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive—long before he ran for Senate.
Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman.
Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well.
But tell me again how they “could not corroborate.”
Who is actually committing ethnic cleansing?
In 1948, around 100,000 Arabs lived in Israel. Today there are over 2 million Arab citizens with full rights.
In the same period, nearly one million Jews were expelled from Arab countries. Ancient Jewish communities in Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, and Libya were completely wiped out. Almost none remain.
So tell me, who is really carrying out ethnic cleansing in the Middle East?
The word “genocide” is being thrown around so casually and dishonestly that it has lost all meaning.
Genocide requires intent.
On October 7th, Palestinians showed clear intent to kill as many Jews as possible. They wiped out entire Jewish communities, and they remain determined to finish the job.
Accusing Israel of genocide while defending those who tried to commit one, and still seek to repeat it, is not just absurd.
IT IS COMPLICITY.
New from me @jewishinsider: Arizona Jewish leaders regret supporting Yassamin Ansari after she turns against Israel
Ansari is now rejecting support from Democratic Majority for Israel after the group championed her 2024 candidacy https://t.co/h01uiKhS6Z
Denver just elected someone to Congress that thinks it was acceptable to firebomb a Holocaust survivor and kill them.
Nothing can rationalize or justify electing such an evil person.
Imagine having the gall to say this to Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who actually won statewide in a purple state, while you're sitting at home because you couldn't win a primary in a deep blue district.
This video is one of the saddest videos I've seen this week.
Scott Wiener has all but completely changed his view on Israel, from being critical of some policies but still advocating for peace, he moved all the way to the extreme.
He condemned Israel and called the war a genocide, as plenty of other Democrats do. His opinions on Israel now are really no different from Graham Platner's.
But nothing a Jew does is enough for them.
Zohran Mamdani and his allies represent a clear and present danger to Jews in this country. He spreads lies about Israel and his fellow Americans who support it. From the genocide libel to attacks on AIPAC, he is marginalizing Jews and setting us apart for attacks that have already grown violent. History says that leaders who spread falsehoods about Jews give permission for the mob to unleash its fury against a tiny portion of the population. The mayor of New York is encouraging modern-day pogroms.
CRAZY: The FBI just unsealed a complaint against a 19-year-old accused of helping plan Sunday's White House UFC attack.
Per the affidavit, he picked congressional targets by who took "pro-Israel" money. He named Marsha Blackburn because she'd "taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby."
Then he sent photos of four more — the entire West Virginia delegation — that the FBI says "appear to have been taken from TrackAIPAC."
In other words, a terror cell used TrackAIPAC's content as raw material for a kill list.
If you’re voting for Graham Platner, you don’t really have an issue with Donald Trump’s moral deficiencies; you have a problem with the fact that he’s not on your side.
Celebrating this candidate who won with the support of millions from a Republican-backed dark money super PAC exposes the truth about Track AIPAC:
It was never about transparency or democracy, it was always about discriminating against one group of American citizens.
Reporting stating that nearly half of young Jews want to replace Israel with a binational state draws a lot of conclusions from a little data.
First, the "nearly half" of young Jews that the poll found supporting a one state outcome is 44%, which represents a grand total of 92 respondents.
Second, the three options presented were one state that is neither Jewish nor Palestinian, Israeli annexation of West Bank and Gaza, or two states for two peoples. Respondents were unable to select "unsure" or "other outcome", so it is likely that low information respondents chose the most egalitarian sounding answer.
Strikingly, respondents were also unable to select one state that is Palestinian (anti-Zionism).
This erasure of the Jewish state is the meaning of binationalism and it wasn't addressed.

The obsession with tracking how individual American citizens support candidates of their choice is outrageous.
Is money raised for candidates through ActBlue a “loophole” or is it only considered a loophole if pro-Israel Americans are involved?
