A lot of Americans would love to talk about kitchen table issues, unfortunately the kitchen table is being used to barricade the front door because ICE is trying to illegally enter private property to arrest and detain them.

That’s esp true for those of us committed to the vision of Israel as a Jewish & democratic state.
It’s not easy to see a path forward toward that future, per @ezraklein.bsky.social
At the very least, it requires speaking up against mass starvation.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

A regime in which members of parliament representing a minority can be expelled because of things they say can be called many things. Democracy isn't one of them.
