Focus instead Rabbi on Standing Together, actual Israeli Arabs and Jews, protesting authentically, not performatively. While you're at it, say something about Hamas, like that they have no bomb shelters in Gaza despite creating 200 miles of tunnels that civilians can't enter. Hold multiple truths.

Glad for the 4-4 SCOTUS ruling that stopped Oklahoma from funding a religious school. But what happens when the next school reaches the Court, and their lawyer or advisor isn't a friend of Justice ACB?
