"Do so after you’ve invited someone whose family is now in Lebanon or in Iran under these bombs falling on them. Listen to what they’ve gone through, and then ask yourself, is this the best message that we can advertise to the world?"

"B’Tselem, and the International Association of Genocide Scholars, it seems to me you are contributing to a diminution, a denigration of our moral, ethical refinement.
If a synagogue wants to have a conversation about whether it’s moral to have this sign, ‘We stand with Israel,’ on its lawn right now, I would suggest do so after you have invited someone from Gaza to speak to you."

"And now, now we see not only that that form of idolatry is making American Jews less safe, but it’s sapping the fundamental, moral core of what these synagogues are supposed to be about. ...
When you put out a sign that says, and keep it there, ‘We stand with Israel,’ even after something that has been called a genocide by Israel’s own leading human rights organization," (continued in /3)

"Synagogues in the United States should take down the signs that many have on their lawn that say, ‘We stand with Israel.’ They should take them down, because those signs make the congregants less safe, and because they are immoral. ...
Torah has been eclipsed by the idolatry of the worship of the state."

Thoughts on the Michigan Synagogue Attack
About Jewish safety and Jewish moralityKen Silverman (The Beinart Notebook)
"JPPI’s poll and Netanyahu’s social media post both deceitfully link Jewish people as a whole, and Jewish identity as a whole, to a massively unpopular, immoral, and evil war. A campaign to link Jewish people to an unpopular war, conducted by non-Jewish people, would be considered antisemitic propaganda—a blood libel.
And you know what? When Jewish people link Jewish identity to war and atrocity, that is also antisemitic propaganda."
That happens in Germany too, though in my perception even more from non-Jewish zionists. I wish more people would correctly identify that as #antisemitism.
"The very organizations which were created to protect Jewish people and to combat antisemitism—the ADL, the AJC—are instead doubling and tripling down on essentializing Jewish identity and linking it to a violent ethnonationalist regime and its list of horrors."

"and they are told that this is done in the name of Jewish identity, because any objection to Israel policy is supposedly antisemitic.
Now Jewish orgs are insisting, through bogus polls, that Jewish identity legitimizes the war—blind or indifferent to the ways in which this will, instead, delegitimize Jewish identity itself."
"Israel and Zionist orgs in the US have effectively been releasing huge amounts of antisemitic propaganda, linking Jews to the action of a violent nation state and its policies of sweeping censorship, apartheid, genocide, and war. When people protest a genocide, they are beaten, arrested, and threatened with deportation—" (continued in /3)
"Netanyahu’s cynical deployment of diaspora Jews as a human shield for Israel’s bad actions is neither new nor surprising. Zionists have for decades claimed that Israel is the core of Jewish identity, and that, therefore, criticism or resistance to Israel national policy is equivalent to antisemitism."

Then:
"In a second incident, a terror suspect entered a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) class at Old Dominion University and opened fire, killing Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, an ROTC instructor.
And:
"Finally, a hacker group linked to Iran infiltrated the computer systems of a US-based medical company."

"The reverberations of Trump’s illegal war reached America’s shores on Thursday in three separate attacks. Although the facts are still developing, it appears that the attacks were carried out by terrorists responding to the US war on Iran." Number one:
"The first attack targeted a Jewish synagogue, Temple Israel, in Detroit (West Bloomfield), Michigan."

"But the oligarchy that runs American Jewish organizations, the large donors, the people who work for those very large donors, that is a very cloistered, self-enclosed world in many ways. And I think it shields people from an actual understanding, in some ways, of what’s happening in American society, about the suffering that Americans endure as a result of these wars," (continued in /4)
Beinart:
"[The US Jewish estabishment] can’t distinguish between what the Israeli government wants and what’s good for the American people.
And I think partly, this is a result of how cloistered the American Jewish establishment is. I’m not talking about American Jews in general. American Jews are widely integrated into American society in all kinds of ways."

The Danger This War Poses to American Jews
It’s Almost Guaranteed To Supercharge AntisemitismKen Silverman (The Beinart Notebook)
Both Jason Stanley and Peter Beinart ask today whether the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran might step up antisemitism. Stanley says,
"Restrictions on speech critical of Israel lend unwarranted legitimacy to antisemitic ideologies. For the sake of both democracy and Jewish safety worldwide, it is therefore essential to allow citizens to freely criticize Israel without fear or sanction."
