The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

OK, since the "Globalize the Intifada" thing is coming up again, and I've seen Mamdani's comments on it, I'm going to try to explain why the "it's no big deal and nobody should find it threatening" approach is a bad one and should be rejected by people of good faith (which, IMO, includes Mamdani!)

Whole lot of people responding to this with some version of "that seems like a you problem"
Yes. It is. "I'm ok using language Jews reasonably find threatening" is a response everyone is completely allowed to give. And it's helpful to know who gives it.

If it's not our place to insist on careful use of the word 'Zionist' and the rhetoric that 'being Zionist' is a capital crime in itself, then those who refuse to police their own language are at best apathetic to our murder.

Anti-Zionism is not necessarily antisemitism, but responding to a post about antisemitism that doesn’t mention Israel or Zionism with “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism!” is definitely antisemitism.
This is a post from a Jewish politician condemning rising antisemitism in the US, saying nothing about anti-Zionism or Israel. And yet the replies are entirely full of people preemptively jumping in to say, “criticizing Israel is not antisemitism! Being anti-Zionist is not antisemitic!”
Today marks the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Illinois.
I won't be silent in the face of a continuing record rise of antisemitism in our nation.
There is strength in our faith, and we can always find strength in one another.

And in fact this phenomenon is not new, and is one of the things that has pushed Jews, especially those most likely to experience overt antisemitism, rightward.
The leftists who have committed themselves to the position that, "Any acknowledgment of antisemitism in the US is genocidal anti-Palestinian racism" really don't seem to see how much this reinforces the Trump admin's false, nonsense claim to be the only ones taking antisemitism seriously.

Antisemitism can, in fact, be a standalone bad thing.
Much like Jews were not edified by the Holocaust, Jews are not edified by gentiles swarming into our mentions to inform us of the conditions that must be met for antisemitism to (a) exist and (b) be unjustified

I’m committed to posting on BlueSky because I do think it’s important for progressive intellectuals to hear from someone who is outside the left-most 90% of the population.
Something I see over and over again is a desire to unlock some semiotic key that will “disqualify” Republicans.

I'm just going to say that Matt Browner Hamlin is in no position to tell Jews that AOC should be speaking for us. Thanks
I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

The expert in the video is more explicit than most on this point--she flat out says that if a Jew from, e.g., Iraq, makes a dish it is not a Jewish dish but a Iraqi dish. The Jew expelled from Iraq has no claim to it *as a Jew* and so insofar as they continue to claim it *as Jews* it is now theft.
