A 🧵 of celebration for the huge victory in NYC last night -- with a special shout out to @jfrejnyc.bsky.social and JVP Action for their epic mobilization of NYC Jews. The work continues (begins)!

A reminder you do not need to read racist fear mongering hot takes on Zohran’s win. Enjoy this win on your own terms!

Over 1 million New Yorkers voted for Zohran. There's simply no question he has a mandate to govern and realize the policies he campaigned on.

Rabbi Alissa Wise @alissashira.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Blessed is the source of life that is good and makes good things happen. Zohran will be a blessing for NYC -- even to his haters, because that is how being a good leader works. THANK YOU NYC!

61% of American Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes and 68% have a negative opinion of Netanyahu, according to a recent poll from The Washington Post. Andrew Cuomo — who joined Netanyahu's legal team and has defended Israel at every turn — does not speak for or represent the views of Jews.

They literally bombed the mediators -- what more evidence does one need they have no intention of stopping this genocide without serious pressure. They can't bomb peace negotiators without the US bombs.

Yesterday at the Block the Bombs act press conference Laila al-Haddad said that this year as the Muslim world celebrates Eid the people of Gaza are the sacrificial lamb. Been holding and feeling that. I wish all an Eid Mubarak nonetheless -- next year may Palestinians celebrate in freedom.

The US and Israel are going to try to pass off this dystopian plan as them meeting their obligations to lift their now 73 day long blockade of all aid into Gaza. It is not relief, it is not lifting the siege, it is a step on the way to their plan of ethnic cleansing.

Trump's Extremely Dangerous and Dystopian Gaza Aid Plan

The plan, rejected by the UN and other aid groups, is nothing more than a 'sinister' mechanism of control masquerading as aid.

"Beyond being inexpensive to implement, starvation makes little noise... There are no bomb craters, no burning children or journalists. There are only emaciated corpses. And 18 months into the darkness that has enveloped the Palestinians, they do not warrant many headlines." Let's change that.

Jews are in the midst of counting the Omer, awaiting revelation. We must add another count into our consciousness: it’s been 62 days since a humanitarian aid truck has entered Gaza. If our spiritual traditions mean anything at all they must mean we act with all we have to LET GAZA LIVE!
