I wrote my book because I sensed, even before Oct 7, that when it came to Israel, the organized Jewish community had no limits. It would never say "enough." Now Trump is proposing mass ethnic cleansing. Just watch: Jewish leaders will justify this too. https://t.co/alLSvOJzid

unlike the Dem establishment, he's not afraid to hit back a little

we don't play mean, but we don't need to play nice either

@AFilan I'm not "joining forces" with him. I'm having a conversation with him. Like I did with Shabbos Kestenbaum, Bret Stephens, David Wolpe etc.

This article does not provide any examples of El Sayed’s radical policies but suggests he is in favor of the Russian invasion of Crimea by attributing it to a comment ostensibly made by a third person.

When asked about the subject recently El Sayed said: “When it comes to Ukraine, I think we are involved in a righteous struggle to protect a sovereign nation from being invaded by their neighbor.”

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

No. A senator's beliefs matter far more than their identity. But the prospect of a senator named Abdul does make me smile. As would a senator named Baruch. Because it reminds us that, no matter what J.D. Vance says, we who practice minority faiths and whose families came recently to these shores are not guests in America. We are its owners too.

[Lexicon NY @LexiconNY]

@PeterBeinart Abdul's name is good enough for you to support him

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

Let's be clear about what this means. It means @AIPAC will support a candidate who will almost certainly help Donald Trump try to overthrow any election that Trump and the GOP loses. It means @AIPAC prioritizes unconditional support for Israel over the survival of liberal democracy in the United States https://t.co/NylgkUEUjS

[Shibley Telhami @ShibleyTelhami]

'AIPAC issued a statement on Wednesday saying they would oppose El-Sayed and “his radical anti-Israel agenda” in November’s election.'

.@PeterBeinart: "By casting the Michigan Senate primary as yet another battle between progressive insurgents and establishment centrists, media coverage of El-Sayed’s campaign has tended to overlook what is innovative about it." https://t.co/zk4kSK8pdB #UnitedStates

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

Because El-Sayed won by a smaller than expected margin, people may now underestimate what an extraordinary campaign he ran. How many senate candidates get outspent that dramatically and still win? His campaign offers a model for how Democrats reclaim both nationalism and populism https://t.co/q1mnQgyzyn

We are in the midst of a "historic transformation," writes @PeterBeinart..."an abandonment of the democratic solidarity that animated establishment American Jewish politics for roughly 80 years."

Just a staggering level of incompetence. And to achieve what, exactly? At the moment, Iran is in the strategic driver's seat while at the same time we're depleting the very weapons that help deter a larger and more dangerous conflict.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The fact that drone operators can make out the hairstyles of their victims before firing is an extremely haunting thought, given how many children have been hit with drone strikes in Gaza and Lebanon.

Some person saw the child and pressed fire anyway.

I’m sorry this is just completely batshit insane.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

This is just a lie and Rubio knows it. Cuba, which can't even keep the power on bc of a crippling blockade, is somehow a superpower. Sure.

'The Shame of the #American #Jewish Establishment'. "The willingness of today’s establishment Jewish groups to aid and abet a racist aspiring dictator as long as he arms #Israel and suppresses criticism of it...isn’t only immoral. It’s also profoundly foolish." @PeterBeinart

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Would like to hear the same from Stevens supporters like @HillaryScholten

There are a thousand reasons that Trump's authoritarianism has been so difficult to defeat. But one of them is this: In the 20th century, American Jewry's most powerful institutions generally defended American democracy. They no longer do. Today, they would prefer an authoritarian America that supports Israel to a democratic America that condemns it.

"The willingness of today’s establishment Jewish groups to aid and abet a racist aspiring dictator as long as he arms Israel and suppresses criticism of it in the US isn’t only immoral. It’s also profoundly foolish," writes @PeterBeinart. https://t.co/g5UICGtlab

@PeterBeinart Thanks for bringing this abandonment of human rights for all to light.

"when the Supreme Court this April gutted the Voting Rights Act for which King and Epstein marched, the organization said nothing. The ADL webpage about Epstein’s activities in Selma...has been taken down"
