I haven’t posted on Bluesky since I joined in the initial hype. I don’t even think about it much anymore - I’m curious, has this thing reached the point of having enough people to make it worthwhile?

As a Columbia alumnus, I am thrilled the university has complied with the Trump Administration’s demands to protect Jewish students. Withholding $400 million to force Columbia to act was the right thing to do.

I keep hearing how Jews like me, who support the eviction of Mahmoud Khalil, are being used. The way I see it? The J Street crowd is being used by JVP.

No matter the phony claims otherwise, Mahmoud Khalil is getting due process with a hearing before a judge. And he should be evicted from the United States because he is incited violence against Jews “by all means necessary” that goes beyond free speech.

If universities allowed harassment of Black, Latino or Asian students, I’d advocate hard to stop the universities’ federal funding — and many of you would stand with me. But when it comes to Jewish students, you won’t. This double standard is Antisemitism. Shame on you.

What does it mean when I, a lifelong Democrat, praise Donald Trump for his actions to help Israel and American Jews when I detest everything else he’s doing? It is a commentary not on my politics but on how frightened of Antisemitism I have become. #IStandWithIsrael

I DON’T HAVE TO FIT IN YOUR DAMN SILO. When Trump does batsh*t crazy stuff to harm the economy, human rights and our strategic alliances, I say it. When Trump takes fantastic action to help Israel and U.S. Jews that the Biden Administration should have taken, I say it. Got it?

I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN. I’m a Democrat who opposes much of what Donald Trump is doing. That doesn’t mean that I, a passionate Zionist, can’t praise the good he is doing for Israel. That, in turn, doesn’t mean I won’t speak out against his evil toward Ukraine.

HaShem, for all the gifts of resilience You have given me, I now ask You to give them to this man, Yarden Bibas, whose wife Shiri and children Ariel and Kfir זיכרונם לברכה were murdered by Hamas. ‎⁦‪#IStandWithIsrael‬⁩ ‎⁦‪#PrayersForYarden‬⁩

Check up on your Jewish friends over the next few days as Hamas starts releasing dead hostages. Many of us, especially those of us who work in Jewish service organizations, personally know families of the hostages. I swear to you — this is beyond brutal. #IStandWithIsrael

Wherever Hamas is hiding, including with “civilians” who are not civilians at all, Hamas must be destroyed to make #NeverAgain a reality for all.

ISRAELI HOSTAGE ELI SHARABI before his captivity and upon his release after being starved, beaten and tortured by Hamas. He learned upon release that Hamas murdered his wife and children. #IStandWithIsrael

THIS GAUNT JEW AND THE GUNMAN HOLDING HIM ARE NOT FROM AUSCHWITZ. This is a Hamas terrorist with hostage Eli Sharabi. Unbenownst to Sharabi, Hamas had killed Eli’s wife and daughters. I support anything Israel must do to destroy Hamas no matter where Hamas hides. #IStandWithIsrael

I’ve spent my entire career fighting for justice for every people. But when you come after my family, which includes the people of Israel, you’re damn right I will care about my family above all. #IStandWithIsrael

If you’ve posted outrage about Trump’s idea for Gaza — an idea I oppose — but are not posting about the torture Hamas inflicted on the three emaciated Israeli hostages released today, you are a bullshit artist and not a human rights champion. #IStandWithIsrael

Steven Goldstein @stevengoldstein.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

I was asked to sign an open letter denouncing Trump for his Gaza idea. I will not sign on, as bad as I think Trump’s idea is. Where is the denunciation that calls upon Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houtis to stop trying to ethnically cleanse Israel from Jews? #IStandWithIsrael

HAPPY MILESTONE BIRTHDAY, LORETTA! Loretta Weinberg, the retired New Jersey Senate Majority Leader, is my second mother. With her love, joy and impact on my life, she’s absolutely #1. As of today, she has only 30 years more to reach Moses’ age. Loretta, I love you with all my heart.

Look, Trump’s proposed U.S. takeover of Gaza is a terrible idea. But spare us your outrage if you’ve never spoken out against Hamas’ actual takeover of Gaza — the takeover that destroyed Gaza, killed 1,200 Israelis, and poses a threat to Israel and the world. #IStandWithIsrael

What do I, a passionate Zionist, believe? The United States should not own Gaza nor transfer out all Palestinians. After Israel defeats Hamas, Gaza should be governed by a consortium of Arab countries that recognize Israel’s right to exist and will work with Israel on peace and security.

Steven Goldstein @stevengoldstein.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Hamas’ cruel, staged theatrics of hostage releases, and the stories of torture we’re hearing, have hardened me even more in support of Israel’s imperative to prosecute the war until Hamas is vanquished. Until that happens, no, no, no to a permanent ceasefire. #IStandWithIsrael
