Sometimes, on a good day, I think that the very starkness and horror of the occupation will eventually bring it to an end. (David Shulman)

But original responsibility lies with the Jewish People Policy Institute, which gives the impression in this Israeli TV interview (other site) that its poll reflects representative sample of Jewish Americans (notwithstanding the disclaimer buried deep on its poll results page). x.com/JewishPolicy...

68% of American Jews support the US-Israel war against Iran, survey finds - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The results suggest U.S. Jews are more supportive than Americans overall but less than Israeli Jews.

The @jta.org headline is simply wrong; please amend. JPPI itself acknowledges that it polls "connected" Jews, not Jews overall, meaning disproportionally more denominationally affiliated Jews and those who've lived in Israel, and less intermarried Jews. www.jta.org/2026/03/09/i...

| As coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes target the Iranian regime, ADL stands with the United States, Israel and the Iranian people, who deserve dignity and freedom from a regime that murders its own citizens.

Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been the world's leading state sponsor of antisemitism and terrorism. The regime and its proxies have murdered Jews, Americans and Israelis across the globe with impunity for decades. They have oppressed and brutalized their own people through mass incarceration, torture, and execution.

We pray for the safety of American service members in harm's way, Israeli civilians and soldiers, our partners and friends in the Gulf and all others in the region who have already been targeted.

As this situation develops, ADL will continue monitoring any threats by the Iranian regime and its proxies against Jewish communities in the U.S. and around the world.

I can say with a high degree of confidence that Dem party leaders and policymakers do not yet understand the degree to which a major shift in US policy toward Israel and Palestine will be required by the party and its next candidate if the are to be successful now and into the future.

Antisemitism was a substantial, structural part of political rhetoric from the early modern period until WWII, and then for two generations after WWII, we had an abnormally low amount of political antisemitism due to horror at the Holocaust. We are probably headed back toward the historical norm.

The dynamics of the internet attention economy incentivize a certain kind of populist "elites vs. the people" framing that easily lapses into conspiracism, and that is going to lead to more antisemitism on the political extremes. This seems impossible to prevent going forward.

AIPAC defends $2.3M spend against 'pro-Israel' politician in NJ-11, where anti-Israel candidate prevails - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The pro-Israel lobbying group's PAC ran attack ads against Tom Malinowski, who has expressed openness to conditioning military aid to Israel.

AIPAC doesn't view its intervention in the NJ-11 as a loss, suggesting that it would rather an anti-Israel Democrat be elected than a pro-Israel Democrat who voices criticism or supports conditioning aid.

I suspect that if they continue down this path, they'll get their wish.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
