In the latest Israel Update, @Doranimated and @GadiTaub1 discuss Emanuel's speech and visit to Israel, the MOU, Ro Khanna's West Bank excursion and more.

Why did Rahm Emanuel go to Israel?

"What he was doing there is establishing his line on Israel that can protect him from the accusation that he's part of the Jewish conspiracy to control America," says @Doranimated.

More Americans are searching for Bigfoot.

What they're really looking for is mystery, community, and a world that still feels enchanted.

“Israel has sovereignty. The Diaspora has memory. A resilient Jewish people needs both.”

@liel responds: Peoplehood doesn’t come before Judaism. It grows out of it.

What actually holds the Jewish people together?

An editorial exchange between Tablet’s editors and Eran Shayshon wrestles with one of the biggest questions facing Jews after Oct. 7.

Tell a Jew from 1346, or 1497, or 1648, or 1938 what this era actually holds, and don’t leave anything out: Hebrew spoken by millions, a Jewish army defending a Jewish state, Jewish communities flourishing across much of the world, and, yes, an attempted genocide like Oct. 7.

He would recognize the tragedy instantly. What would surprise him is everything standing next to it: an army, a state, the power to respond.

Dominique Lévy helped build the modern art world.

When Oct. 7 exposed just how hostile that world had become toward Jews, she refused to stay silent.

These institutions were not always rotten; something in them changed over the last decade: Principle was traded for donor comfort, standards for slogans, scrutiny for the easier feeling of being on the right side of a hashtag. Oct. 7 did not create that rot. It was the storm that hit at the exact moment the hull had already given out, and the whole world got to see which vessels were still seaworthy. Ours went down first, because they had already been rotting for years. Throwing us over the side was simply what they did to survive a little longer.

Thank God they threw us overboard. It may have been the only way for us to have avoided going down with them.

[Tablet Magazine @tabletmag]

We are the first generation of Jews in nearly 2,000 years to inherit both sovereignty in our ancestral homeland and a thriving global Jewish people.

That's the perspective Oct. 7 forced many of us to rediscover.

@LeeSmithDC’s article brilliantly mimics Argentina’s defeat of Egypt in the last 13 minutes. He scores a 5-paragraph killer summary of Egyptian history and it gets better from there! He puts @tabletmag in the semifinals!! 😄👏💪🏼🇺🇸| The Culture of Loserdom https://t.co/8IQQly5Qjv

Academia promises original scholarship. Mostly it produces paragraph-long summaries of articles no one reads.

That realization ended @NaomiSRiley's plan to get a PhD.

“What I told the referee is that ‘this is unfair,’” said Hassan. But he often complains about “unfairness” when he loses, as he did when he blamed the officiating after Egypt lost in the African Cup of Nations last year to Senegal, hardly a stronghold of Zionist power. In 2016, Egyptian authorities arrested him for attacking a photographer on the field. Last week, Hassan’s twin brother and team director, Ibrahim, scuffled with Dallas police at the team’s hotel.

So, it doesn’t really have anything to do with the Palestinians because the core problem is the coach and his team and its supporters, right? No. It’s all about the Palestinians because they are the world champions of losing, entitled and privileged and maniacally violent losers. Hassan sides with the Palestinians because he is a loser. Game respects game.

What's going on with the Lebanon agreement?

@Doranimated and @GadiTaub1 discuss in the latest Israel Update.

[Tablet Magazine @tabletmag]

It’s not the Jews’ fault that Egypt lost a soccer match.

But sore loserdom, argues @LeeSmithDC, sure is a reflection of Middle Eastern political culture.

On this week's Barbarians, why did so many Democrats turning on Platner after sticking by him through so many terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad things he has said and done before?
