Northwestern University tore down a sukkah I built with other students, supposedly under the guise of fighting antisemitism, because it said “Stop Arming Israel” on it. The school is using Jewish identity as cover for repressing Palestine solidarity.
If there is going to be a self-consciously “Jewish” contribution to the Palestinian cause, it’s better to invoke concrete Jewish values than to rely on the unearned authority of Jewish identity.
Jewish theologian Marc H. Ellis died this week at the age of 71. His work on the battle between Empire and the prophetic within contemporary Jewish life is more relevant today than ever.
