If you have spent the last week watching with rage and anguish as some Jewish institutional leaders signal alarm about the slaughter they have abetted since October 8th, this piece is for you. It's about where we go from here, and why invest in Jewish institution building at all.
"We need new Jewish institutions . . . We need them not to exit Jewish community, but to join it in earnest, on our own terms. To transition from pockets of rebellion to poles of power."
@ArielleLAngel on the structures we need to sustain our movements. jewishcurrents.org/we-need-n…

On the new episode of On the Nose, @ArielleLAngel, Daniel May, @andrewmarantz, & @BenLorber8 discuss Nick Fuentes on Tucker Carlson, Norman Finkelstein on Candace Owens, and the newfound influence of the anti-Israel right.

I don’t think it’s healthy for a party leader who actively recruits candidates for the most important races in the country to think of himself this way.
Even on Election Day, Schumer Is Mum on Mamdani

If you're a Jewish New Yorker who can't understand why people in your city voted for Zohran Mamdani, ask your children. They probably did too.
Arielle Angel retweeted
Centrists who are like “Dems have absolutely nothing to learn from Mamdani because the rest of the country isn’t New York City” - like, do you really think that mobilizing literally never-before-seen turnout among young people has zero application outside NYC?
Arielle Angel retweeted
In Pew’s recent polling, 27% of Jews identified as “Jews not by religion” — marking “no religious affiliation” or “other,” then indicating Jewishness in a follow-up.
The percent of Jews that voted Mamdani is likely closer to 40%.

NEW from me, on the rabbis’ letter against Mamdani. The effort was organized by The Jewish Majority, which is led by an AIPAC alum. But the letter was also signed by 65 members of J Street’s rabbinic cabinet. jewishcurrents.org/anti-mamd…
Cathartic to talk about all this, tbh
Several prominent rabbis have spoken out against Zohran Mamdani in the last weeks before the election. @ArielleLAngel @PeterBeinart @simonerzim & @alexbkane discuss on the latest episode of On the Nose.

Every one of these victims thought they had survived the genocide only to be killed in a “ceasefire”

They survived two years of genocide to be murdered during a “ceasefire.”

“The Myth of Israeli Innovation” @rhys_machold

Arielle Angel retweeted
Allies and critics alike have bought into the narrative of Israel as a hub of high-tech military "innovation." But, as the scholar @rhys_machold explains in his new piece, this story obscures the true motor powering Israel's violence: Western backing

This is out with over 650 signatures under the heading "The Jewish Majority." Methinks the rabbis doth protest too much.

Nearly 500 rabbis have signed this open letter against "rising anti-Zionism and its political normalization throughout our nation," explicitly citing Zohran Mamdani. What these rabbis are telling us is they do not care about 30-40% of American Jews. 🧵 1/

This letter evinces an unwillingness to engage productively with a very sizable portion of the J community & w/ the reality, confirmed by HR groups, that Israel is committing genocide. Instead, these rabbis project their anxieties outward & demand fealty. It won't work long term.
They call on interfaith partners to support them, knowing full well that they are creating a bar that cannot be met by most Muslim partners. They will then predictably complain about isolation. 6/
Cosgrove insists his Zionism is a matter of Jewish identity. This is a dangerous argument, opening up all Jews to anti-Israel violence, while affirming the logic used in right-wing legal "religious liberty" assaults on universities
