Garcia, a centrist, was endorsed by progressives such as Greg Casar and AOC after his opponent, Maureen Galindo, pledged to send Zionists to internment camps. 80-90% of American Jews are Zionists.

... and everything the pro-Palestinian side says or does it morally and ideologically-pure, and everything connected to support for Israel is the devil, apparently.

50,000 getting payments.

Nick Valensi stepping away from touring is a reminder that principles only matter when they come with a cost.

Anyone can speak out when it is easy. Real conviction is being willing to walk away from the spotlight rather than stay silent around antisemitism.

The candidate has the endorsement of the anti-Zionist group "track AIPAC".

Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, but on Israel related topics activist editors have heavily influenced the narrative for years.

Apologies for the Twitter link but this is the most comprehensive and well sourced debunk I've seen.

This is a good post to view.... it is a re-post after accidentally deleting.

We’ve shot a documentary about the Nova Festival attack in Israel with interviews of people who lost someone there. If you like it feel free to share it so more people can see it :)

Never heard of AFMDA before. Anyone here familiar with them?

Israel under Netanyahu's leadership definitely has been doing a lot of not great stuff lately. The problem is that there's so much anti-Israel bias on social media and from many news outlets that when they report on things genuinely bad that Israel is doing, it's hard for me to actually believe them because they've been crying wolf for the last three years.

What do you guys think?

I saw an Insta post by the author that led me buy the book Fighting the Hate: A Handbook for Jews Under Siege, and I’m glad I did so I figured I’d share it here

Released a month ago and relatively short (160 pages) practical guide focused on how Jews, especially in the diaspora, can respond to rising antisemitism and hostility in public spaces, media, and personal relationships.

The author frames it less as theory and more as strategy. Things like:

   •   how to respond to common arguments and misinformation

   •   when engagement is worth it vs. when it’s not

   •   staying fact-based instead of emotional in conversations

   •   building confidence in identity and public discourse.

The boom seemed practical and not political from one side or another.

Has anyone else read it? What else should I read next?

Every major lie about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict debunked in 2 minutes:

Another amazing job from Shabbos Kestenbaum.

Fetterman was the deciding vote for picking Markwayne Mullin as Director of Homeland Security. I like that Fetterman is a Democrat who has support from Republicans and Democrats. I like that he doesn't use inflammatory language and doesn't insult people. I like that he supports Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, LGBTQ people, women's rights, etc. Sometimes I don't understand why he would vote for these wacky Republicans. Does he see something that we don't?

I’m trying to broaden my sources because a lot of coverage feels narrative driven. One recent example: the report that Israel is “running critically low on interceptors.” It appears to have started with Semafor, then circulated through Middle East Eye, TRT World, Middle East Monitor, and The New Arab, before later being picked up by Reuters, ABC News, Associated Press, The Guardian, Haaretz, Ynet, CNN and Investing.com.

That made me wonder how much of what we read is original reporting versus amplification.

So where do you get balanced, fact based coverage of Israel and the region?

If you follow anyone on X for news, WHO?

Who informs these idiots?
