Two things that are simultaneously true about #H.Res.246 (the "BDS Bill" currently being considered in the House of Representatives):
1. The #BDS movement nurtures antisemitic elements and is detrimental to thoughtful people's work for a #2SS for the Israel/Palestine conflict. American public opinion is opposed to #BDS, and it deserves to lose soundly when the bill comes to a vote on Capitol Hill (and it will).
2. Being put to a test of American public opinion, and being dignified with a vote on Capitol Hill, is the greatest win the #BDS movement has ever scored. Ten years ago, the founders of #BDS could never have dreamed they'd achieve a victory like this.
We need solutions aimed at materially improving security for Israelis and justice for Palestinians. Unfortunately, neither the #BDS movement nor this legislation designed to combat it will get us any closer. /fin

It’s now been more than a week since the release of “Red (Taylor’s Version),” so gather round, everyone!
It’s time for a thread that no one asked for but everyone needed:
ON TAYLOR SWIFT AND THE PERSISTENCE OF SPIRITUAL MEMORY. (1/?)
I have now listened to it approximately One Thousand Times, so I’m finally ready to contribute my own take to what has grown into a very robust discourse about the album – most especially about “All Too Well,” the most significant song on “Red.” (2/)
Even though it never got the hit-single treatment that any of Taylor’s other songs did, “All Too Well” has consistently stood out as millions of her fans’ favorite song (mine too, for the record). (3/)

Please take a moment to watch this video. The Jewish obligation to speak out about this genocide should be self-evident, but it's important to remind ourselves - and the rest of the world - from time to time. 1/
Chief Rabbi Mirvis spoke up about this last month in a bracing and important essay:
amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

2/
The videos of prisoners with their heads shaved, blindfolded and shackled, being put on transport trains had shocking and painful resonances for the Jewish community.

A thread: Six guidelines for a mindful life.

1/
Consume mindfully:
- Eat with awareness and gratitude.
- Pause before buying and see if breathing is enough.
- Pay attention to the effects of media you consume.

2/
Pause. Breathe. Listen.

- When you feel compelled to speak in a meeting or conversation, first pause.
- Breathe before entering your home, place of work, or school.
- Listen to the people you encounter. They have wisdom to teach.

Jews of Twitter: Welcome to the day after Yom Kippur!

I know that it was hard not being able to pray alongside each other yesterday like we do every year. But I wonder if there was an unexpected gift in being shown that Yom Kippur isn't just A Thing That Happens in Synagogues...
Apologies and forgiveness, repentance and restitution, etc. etc. etc. - none of that stuff is supposed to begin or end at the doors of your shul.
In fact, that's *literally* the point of the haftarah we read from the Book of Isaiah. It is a fiery, angry text in which the prophet is telling all of us: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

Oh man. I had forgotten how extraordinary this interview is. It's almost 15 years old now, but it could just as well have been recorded last week.

Larry King Live 27 Feb 2006 - Guest: Jon Stewart - dailymotion.com/video/xy39e9

(If you've only got 5 minutes, start watching at 17:38.)
The whole thing is so great. But there are a few gems.

KING: Who in this administration fascinates you the most?

STEWART: The American people. For their...utter patience. And everybody, it just seems like I just don't know what it's going to take. [cont.]
STEWART [cont.]: You know...my mind has been blown so consistently by this administration's insistence on their own competence, without ever delivering any sort of evidence to that. ... [A]t this point everybody just kind of rolls their eyes like: Ahh, those guys are at it again.

A THREAD, about grief and bereavement:
Like many of you, I’ve been doing a lot of reading about racism and the history of slavery in America. One of the best resources I have come across is the Freedmen and Southern Society Project at the @UofMaryland.
1/?
The project is a collection of about 50k primary sources, collected mainly from the #NationalArchives, that document the history of slavery, emancipation and reconstruction. It is a staggering and incredible moving project, filled with stories that deserve a modern audience.
2/
I want to share one with you today.
