‘For many young American Jews, the Trump-Bibi axis is the enemy’
Bradley Burston insists that his views about Israel haven't changed since he moved here in the 1970s. It's Israel which has changed. 'I would like to have two states. But hundreds of thousands of Israelis said ‘you can’t have it,’ and they run the country,' he says in a wide-ranging interview about Israel, the Nakba, and the changing face of American Jewry.

Anti-Semitism in the U.S. doesn’t make me want to move to Israel
Why would American Jews be any less repulsed by the ultra-nationalist tendencies rampant in Israel than they are by those taking hold in America? By Sarah Stern The Jewish day school in Rockville, MD where I spent six years as a student received a bomb threat this week. There have been over 100 threats like…

Could a Palestinian politician best represent American Jewish values?
Progressive American Jews may be willing to stand alongside American Muslims, but are they ready to demonstrate the same solidarity for Arab citizens of Israel? Ayman Odeh, the head of the Joint List, is a test case for where ‘pro-peace’ Jews draw the line. Progressive American Jews have had a hard time in recent years finding…

The age of Trump spells the end of the Zionist dream
When Israel backs an American regime that threatens our liberty as humans and our safety as Jews, the claim that Zionism protects Jews no longer holds. By Ben Lorber For most American Jews, Donald Trump‘s regime has ushered in the most profound and destabilizing existential crisis since the Holocaust. We watch in horror as President…

To reach Diaspora Jews, start by acknowledging their struggles
Those who dismiss the struggle at the Western Wall because it ignores Palestinians should recognize how important the Kotel is to American Jews. Their struggle for justice might start at the Western Wall, but it doesn’t necessarily end there. By Rachel Canar Something unprecedented happened in Jerusalem on Wednesday. More than 200 people, including 12 rabbis —…

‘There’s a vicious fight in our community’: Simone Zimmerman talks Bernie for the first time
Earlier this year, the Jewish American world was up in arms over the hiring, or firing — depending on where you stand politically — of Bernie Sanders' Jewish outreach coordinator. For the first time, she talks about what happened in the campaign, the growing anti-occupation movement among U.S. Jews, and why the Jewish establishment lost touch with its youth.

What neoconservatives get wrong about U.S. Jews’ relationship with Israel
As much as it chagrins the likes of Elliott Abrams, the increasing difficulty they are having with defending Israel’s policies is due to the policies they are working to defend. The longer the occupation continues, the less support it will find among Jews in the United States. By Mitchell Plitnick Over the past few years,…

Jewish education’s sin of omission
Despite years of Jewish education, much of which focused on Israel, this young American Zionist was still ignorant of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. By David Sarna Galdi The Israeli occupation of the West Bank will mark its 50-year anniversary next year. For five decades, since 1967, that occupation has been a central theme…

A new era of anti-occupation Judaism
American Jews have long overwhelmingly supported an end to the occupation, but increasingly, we are building an organized critical mass who are also willing to push our institutions and politicians in the same direction.

Redefining chutzpah: The monumentally inappropriate treatment of Ayman Odeh
The Jewish American establishment clearly cannot handle an Arab non-Zionist with the chutzpah to assert his right to be treated respectfully and equally in his own country.

The nuclear deal sets back any Iranian military nuclear program by at least 10 years, and does so without sparking a regional war. That, by itself, makes the deal the best option available. One of the easiest things to forget when discussing the Iran deal is just how inevitable and nearby war seemed for so…
