Sunrise Movement DC’s decision to withdraw from a voting rights rally because of the participation of three Zionist groups reflects the view of many on the left that you can’t be progressive and be a Zionist. This political future is disturbing to the Jewish establishment and rightwing groups called the decision “antisemitic” while liberal Zionists condemned the decision on cancellation grounds (though they cancel anti-Zionists all the time).

Bill Maher tells New York Rep. Ritchie Torres that he was “incredibly gutsy” for defending Israel’s recent attacks.

NY mayor candidate Andrew Yang’s statement that BDS is “rooted in antisemitic thought and history,” going back to Nazi boycotts of Jewish businesses, was a highly intentional statement aimed at capturing the NY Jewish establishment, which has rewarded anti-BDS politicians.

Ritchie Torres is expected to win the Democratic primary in New York’s 15 district. The openly gay, South Bronx councilman is a self-described “pro-Israel progressive” and the first post-election event he attended was the Embassy of Israel’s 5th Annual Pride Event.
