💥Ravid: "Easy to say the #IJC is hypocritical, partly bc it is. But the fact that Israel has gotten here is a serious political failure added to the failures that led to Oct 7. Extremist policy, bad judgment & rash statements by PM & ministers contributed to what we saw today."
Speaking with @UnxeptableD, Dr. Tomer Presico said, "I would wish that significant American Jewish bodies would get off the fence and be able to criticize our government, to criticize this specific government, which is the most, by far the most extreme, the most religious fundamentalist government ever in Israel; …. explaining that the way this leadership is taking Israel is causing tremendous damage both to the state and to our tradition in general."

Here's the inside story of the South Carolina school district committee that reviewed Bernard Malamud’s classic novel “The Fixer” — without Jewish expertise. https://t.co/EDAMQmlzU4
@JYuter Any success in removing Hamas danger depends on quickly removing Bibi. He has already shown he will sacrifice security to keep his tuchis out of jail. Why do you think he won't do it again? Now, he is more desperate & will be more reckless instead of resigning like Golda & Begin
I have been struggling to articulate the complex emotions I've been feeling since Saturday morning as a Jew, a liberal/progressive, a believer that Palestinians and Jews have a right to a homeland, to safety and dignity. A thread 1/
Yes and Yes - "Does the wider Jewish world have a duty to care for individuals, especially minors, within Haredi communities and schools? And if so, does that extend just to cases of sexual abuse or also to the curriculum?"

@MarcusBlimi We are conditionally white.
Shroedinger’s Jew.
We are majority when it’s bad to be majority, and minority when it’s bad to be minority.
Our identity gets to be determined by the other person in the conversation, and changes each time we speak with someone new.
Yanky Daskal who pleaded guilty to sexual offences against 15y old girl was head of Borough Park shomrim, biggest of its kind. If shomrim is our police then he was a police commissioner equivalent. You'd think there'd be an outcry and soul searching but this is Charedistan
Of course there's no concern for the alleged victim in this case, and of course such events are never held in the community to support victims of sexual abuse. But for this alleged child rapist they're pulling out all the stops.
