A reminder you do not need to read racist fear mongering hot takes on Zohran’s win. Enjoy this win on your own terms!

Over 1 million New Yorkers voted for Zohran. There's simply no question he has a mandate to govern and realize the policies he campaigned on.

Blessed is the source of life that is good and makes good things happen.

Zohran will be a blessing for NYC -- even to his haters, because that is how being a good leader works.

THANK YOU NYC!

Anti-Mamdani Letter Draws Support from Liberal Rabbinate The letter revealed a split between liberal rabbis backing the mayoral nominee and those opposing him over his positions on Israel.

β€œThe liberal Zionist vision of Israel has never, for a moment, been the reality of the Jewish state. There’s a human cost to that political commitment, and it comes on the backs of Palestinians" - R4C Founding Director @alissashira.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social

THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE! As much as we want it to be true, need it to be true it just isn't and we can't indulge this charade in any way.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

61% of American Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes and 68% have a negative opinion of Netanyahu, according to a recent poll from The Washington Post.

Andrew Cuomo β€” who joined Netanyahu's legal team and has defended Israel at every turn β€” does not speak for or represent the views of Jews.

They literally bombed the mediators -- what more evidence does one need they have no intention of stopping this genocide without serious pressure. They can't bomb peace negotiators without the US bombs.

Hundreds of U.S. rabbis, Jewish celebrities back Gaza food aid campaign ***

Tony Kushner: ethnic cleansing and the mass slaughter of civilians are incommensurable with Jewish values and teachings and must be abhorrent to any Jew who understands our culture and our history.

Yesterday at the Block the Bombs act press conference Laila al-Haddad said that this year as the Muslim world celebrates Eid the people of Gaza are the sacrificial lamb. Been holding and feeling that. I wish all an Eid Mubarak nonetheless -- next year may Palestinians celebrate in freedom.

This is absolutely chilling.

Global Jewish community solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza is a critical counterweight.
