"We will reignite Zionism in America only by taking sides". Thank you, R' @EricYoffie. But, as we've been saying for decades, this taking of sides has to include a thorough rejection of the Occupation, not just support for democracy within the Green Line. haaretz.com/opinion/2023-06-…
We Thought anti-Semitism Was No Threat to U.S. Jews. We Were Wrong ericyoffie.com/anti-semitism…
The greatest problem of Trump's executive order, by far, is the threat that it potentially poses to free speech and the First Amendment. ericyoffie.com/executive-ord…
What were American Jews to make of Trump, this bigoted, incompetent, and shallow president, who possesses near-fascistic tendencies, and yet, at times, is seemingly a friend of the Jews? ericyoffie.com/executive-ord…
Most American Jews...take the positions they take on Israel/Palestine and religious pluralism precisely because they support the premises of Zionism and Israel as a Jewish state. Because they care, and they are engaged. ericyoffie.com/daniel-gordis…
To boost his base, Trump pushes racism. And he switches on his ‘Zionism’ for the same reason eyoffie.co/2JSBHCs
Trump doesn’t really hate people of color. Just like he doesn’t really love Israel eyoffie.co/2JSBHCs
Because Iran is so dangerous, a sane and sensible strategy is needed by Israel and the West to limit Iranian subversion and to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. eyoffie.co/2Jkj0r2
Congratulations Avigdor Lieberman for bringing down Netanyahu. Thank you for giving me a good laugh by pretending to be a champion of religious freedom. eyoffie.co/2W2acsP
I am perplexed—and angered—by those American Jews who suggest that their Jewish lives can somehow be separated from their connection to Israel. eyoffie.co/30blgaz
American Jewish mainstream – the 90% of American Jews who are not Orthodox – feels that what is coming on religious issues in Israel is disastrous. eyoffie.co/2Z6e3Ic
In the sycophantic buddy movie that Bibi produced with America’s unpredictable President, Bibi has burned bridges with Democratic Party nurtured carefully for nearly a century eyoffie.co/2YAPvqk
What Dershowitz is proposing as a protection for democracy does precisely the opposite, creating the possibility that a Prime Minister serving multiple terms can indefinitely escape indictment for a serious crime. eyoffie.co/2HbRxa6
Why in heaven’s name is Dershowitz jumping into the political cesspool that Bibi has created for himself? eyoffie.co/2HbRxa6
.@RepRashida and @netanyahu are allies in a one-state solution for Israel. @RepRashida is honest about her intentions. @netanyahu is not. eyoffie.co/2SgllVe
On the two-state solution, Bibi's been adamantly for, adamantly against, and adamantly equivocal. eyoffie.co/2WvS3Fk
Even after four terms as Israel’s PM, U.S. Jews don’t know where Bibi stands on peace and war. eyoffie.co/2WvS3Fk
When an Arab throws a stone for the purpose of maiming and killing, it is a terrorist attack. And when a Jew throws a stone for the same purpose, he is a terrorist in precisely the same way that an Arab is eyoffie.co/2QwljYp
You call the terror suspects "children." That's a linguistic trick. When Palestinian youths commit abominable crimes we in the Jewish community hardly ever refer to them as "children." eyoffie.co/2QwljYp
