@haaretzcom They’re racists but ok that’s a clever sign…

@matthew_loftus I wish it was. I'd be 100% with you on that.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@bungarsargon El-Sayed 100% condemned that ad and the longer you insist on lying about it, the longer it will take you to grapple with the real take-aways from these midterms. https://t.co/h8QQXGy4Bg

@PatrickMcEnroe Go talk about it on Newsmax Patrick...

@JonahDispatch If you believe this promise in light of Trump's endless flow of total nonsense promises, you're being blinded by your pet peeve. If it actually happens, then we can judge how much people continue to focus on Israel.

@Drew_Deleo @cannot_stop_ish @mattyglesias @matthewstoller I know who he meant. But subbing Hasan for Mehdi is telling.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@cannot_stop_ish @mattyglesias @matthewstoller Hasan? lol

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@mattyglesias @matthewstoller So maybe acknowledge that you said this and explain how your thinking has changed rather than accuse people of lying when they're clearly not. It comes off as disingenuous to say that this is not what you've said.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@mattyglesias @matthewstoller Just bc you said other things doesn't mean you didn't say this! We'd all love for people to look at the totality of our opinions, how they've evolved, etc., but when you say something, it's reasonable for people to point out that you said it! Given your job, you should know this!

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

There's one small, unglamorous, word that would immensely improve public discourse about Israel, American Jews and antisemitism.

It's the word "some."

Every time I hear a pro-Israel Jewish pundit declaring that "Abdul El-Sayed makes Jews feel unsafe" or "Jews feel uncomfortable in today's Democratic Party," I think: What's with the royal we?

We Jews are famously disputatious. And that division now extends to basic questions about the nature of Israeli state.

39% of American Jews think Israel committed genocide (Washington Post, Sept 2025)

A plurality of American Jews under 35 favor a single democratic state from the river to the sea. (Jewish Voter Resource Center, May 2026)

So yes, some American Jews fear Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's pro-Palestinian direction. But others love it.

Is the divide 50-50? No. It's probably somewhere between 75-25 and 60-40. (As a rough proxy, Mamdani won about a third of the Jewish vote). But it sure as heck doesn't entitle anyone to project their own views onto American Jews as a whole.

So, next time, include the word "some."

Because no one elected you Pope.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@jstreetdotorg If "those policy disagreements pale in comparison with the threat posed by Mike Rogers," then the choice to endorse El-Sayed should be a no-brainer. This is a cowardly and disappointing position for J-Street.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@atrupar Just awful instincts. He clearly had that pre-loaded as an intended laugh line - which is already a terrible idea - but choosing to deploy it in response to such a thoughtful, earnest question is just asinine.

@protectedangel3 @star_blazer7 @bryceriddl39028 @TheTNHoller @MintPressNews And prayed in Hebrew

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@star_blazer7 @bryceriddl39028 @TheTNHoller @MintPressNews Hebrew is the language of the Old Testament and of Jesus Christ.

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@haaretzcom Seems odd that you don't include the possibility that the opposition coalition brings one or both of the Arab parties into the coalition itself and forms a majority government (not a minority one) - this is the possibility I see the most people excited about. Democracy! Imagine!

[Evan Serpick @Serps]

@AlonLeeGreen It's notable to me that even leftists like you refer to Palestinian citizens of Israel as "Arabs" or "Arab-Israelis" - is that a conscious choice or just using the most common language of Israeli society? More broadly, it seems like a way to erase Palestinian identity.
