In a widely read New York Times article, Nicholas Lemann claims anti-Zionism in the progressive world marginalizes Jews. Yet his failure to even mention Palestinians reveals his ignorance of Zionism’s role in driving the crisis he seeks to confront.
In her new book, “The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State,” Emmaia Gelman examines the Anti-Defamation League’s history and its decades-long political project to support U.S. empire in the name of American Jews.
There is a moral panic over whether protests at synagogues against the sale of Israeli settlement homes are antisemitic. This accusation is meant only to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Don’t fall for it.
The American Jewish community is in open crisis over its support for Israel after two years of genocide in Gaza. A key issue in this crisis is a topic once considered too taboo to criticize: the Israel lobby.
Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in New York City shows that the Gaza genocide has permanently shifted Israel’s role in U.S. politics.
Zohran Mamdani’s historic campaign for New York mayor marks a significant moment for Jewish identity as more Jews distance themselves from Zionism. This will be a fierce generational fight with wide-reaching effects on American politics.
I couldn’t join my family in honoring our ancestors murdered in the Nazi genocide while Israel uses our history to justify its oppression of the Palestinians. Instead, I honor my family’s lives by doing all I can to stop the Gaza genocide today.
U.S. and global politics surrounding Israel are shifting rapidly as the world recoils in horror at Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Here are several lessons the left should take note of.
This summer, 1,500 Israeli soldiers will attend Jewish summer camps across North America. They will act as ambassadors for Israel as it carries out ethnic cleansing across Palestine. The Jewish community must reject this normalization of genocide.
Because the Jewish community has not shown the minimal moral capacity to call out genocide I cannot take concern around alleged pro-Palestine antisemitism seriously as it appears to just be a strategy to aid and abet Israel’s crimes.
