Young people, old people. Jew haters just don't care. We are Americans, we. Are Jews. Your violence cannot deter our love of country, love of our Jewish collective and our commitment to ensure that all who reside in this land, citizens and newcomers, can live securely with their rights unchallenged.

Bar Kokhba, Sabtai Tsvi, Jacob Frank, a certain Rebbe, Trump, Bibi... A percentage of my people have always been suckers for a pretty face.

Since its inception, Zionists held to the dubious notion of the negation of the Diaspora - that the Diaspora future is in black and white while Israeli life exists in technicolor. We must recognize that Jewish communities worldwide have always had their own unique potential.

This year when you sell your chametz for Pesach, remember to sell Bibi, Stephen Miller and every Jew in the Trump cabinet. Have a no return policy.

Those that the gods would destroy they first drive mad. By design Trump/Musk and company have driven half the country into a frenzy, driven by our expectations of unspeakable harm about to occur and our sense of powerless when faced with this juggernaut of evil. A strategy for survival is needed!
