"American Jews are now watching Israel become a pariah state in real time," writes @newisraelfund.bsky.social CEO Daniel Sokatch in a new opinion, and they can "no longer afford to look away or defer to institutions that ask them to check their conscience at the door." brnw.ch/israelpariah
A blue quote card with white text that reads “We can either continue to support an Israeli government driving Israel towards the abyss, backed by the American Jewish organizations that defend, justify, rationalize, or ignore Israeli actions, or they can choose to stand with those Israelis who are risking everything to oppose war, civilian starvation, and authoritarianism.”

The text "continue to support an Israeli government" and "choose to stand with those Israelis who are risking everything" are highlighted in gold.

President-elect Donald Trump issued an ultimatum via Truth Social on Monday to Hamas to release the Israeli hostages in Gaza before he takes office or face severe consequences. More from @jacobkornbluh.bsky.social here: forward.com/fast-forward...
"Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it’s all talk, and no action! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!"
