I wish American Jewish leaders would think critically about what this means. "Jewish, democratic, and pluralistic" is inherently a contradiction in terms. Leaders should consider how most American Jews would feel about living in an America that is Christian in character the way Israel is Jewish.

It should invite some serious introspection and critical examination that almost all of Biden's most important Middle East foreign policymakers and advisors are also functionally totally supportive of Trump's own program.

I have no idea how to have this conversation within Jewish circles but the very obvious path we're on is that the ADL is devaluing the concept of antisemitism by making it synonymous with Ms Rachel and Macklemore, spending down the capital of American Jews in service of a genocidal apartheid state
yeah the basic issue is that to avoid upsetting the Trump administration, every organization combatting antisemitism has decided that literally only antizionism is antisemitism
More in my lane is how anti-semitism is now basically unregulated on social media, how any 14 year old can now find "Jewish question" content that was walled off 10 years ago... and all the energy is in banning Israel boycotts. I assure you, that's making this worse!

"Do you recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state" is, essentially 100% of the time in the American political context, explicitly asking whether or not you endorse the permanent subjugation of non-Jews in Palestine. You can tell that this is true based on the reaction to Mamdani's answer.
They demand "full participation [for Jews] in American political life” and endorsement of "Jewish sovereignty in Israel" which legally, ideologically and materially denies that full participation from Palestinian citizens.

The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.

This is a good example of something that is entirely political (the government dislikes higher ed and foreign people) and has large economic impacts but will get less attention than "woke one" from our pundit class.
There will probably be far fewer foreign students on college campuses nationwide this fall following the Trump administration’s crackdown on international visas.
A new report predicts international enrollment will decrease by 9.5 percent this fall.

A reminder that the media is not liberal or objective. Notice the editorialization in the headline and deck. Why is it "stunning"? etc
This is both agenda setting and manufactured confrontation, designed, over time, to make readers think a certain way.
Also never see "limits of the Right" frames

Part of the problem that many liberal Zionists have not fully dealt with is that if "liberal Zionism" means anything, it has to mean full support for a two-state solution, which puts you in opposition not just to Netanyahu, but to every Israeli political party except Hadash and the Arab parties.
also, if your proposed alternative to protesting is to “make clear that we stand with Israelis like former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid” who all oppose a Palestinian state, describing yourself as a liberal Zionist is just window dressing
If this is really true, I feel like you were not that motivated to protest in the first place. www.jta.org/2026/07/31/i...
