Liel Leibovitz, a senior writer for @tabletmag, recently went on the podcast of notorious antisemite and white nationalist Sebastian Gorka. This is extremely troubling, but not surprising.
Leibovitz defended Gorka's decades-long ties to the Hungarian fascist paramilitary organization Vitézi Rend, as well as the organization itself.
Meanwhile, Tablet has published various other far-right opinions, including an article expounding the antisemitic conspiracy theory "cultural Marxism" by an author linked to the Neo-Nazi publication the Republic Standard.
@tabletmag has a nasty history and present practice of publishing extremist voices with no place in our community, and no one knows exactly who pays their bills. They should not be treated as a mainstream, normal Jewish publication.
We'll refer you to the other tweets in this thread, in which we discuss Tablet writers' links to white supremacists and Neo-Nazis.
Today, on #YomHaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.
May their memories be a blessing.
May we remember that Never Again means Never Again for Anyone. 🧵
Many of us are descended from Jews who faced extermination, imprisonment, torture, and starvation at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators.
Entire families and communities wiped out in concentration camps, on death marches, in forests, and in their homes.
Our history grounds us in the need to fight antisemitism & all forms of bigotry.
It compels us to say Never Again.
We remember all six million Jews — and we remember millions of Roma, Sinti, queer, trans, and disabled people, political dissidents, and more murdered by Nazis.
BREAKING: 75 American Jews & allies were just arrested shutting down a Los Angeles freeway to demand a ceasefire, and an end to U.S. funding of war crimes against the people of Gaza.
Millions face death by bomb, bullet, starvation & disease in Gaza. No more business as usual.
Jewish tradition teaches that all human beings are created B'tzelem Elohim, in the image of G-d. For us, starvation & slaughter in Gaza violates our deepest beliefs.
Our politicians MUST call for a ceasefire, freedom for all captives, and a political solution to end bloodshed.
Millions of lives hang in the balance. Those who've survived American bombs dropped by Israeli planes are now fighting desperately to survive starvation, flood, and disease.
Every day that passes without a ceasefire condemns hundreds, likely thousands, of Gazans to death.
All week long, #JewsForCeasefire have been taking action.
How's it going?
Well, we've never seen Fox News more confused...
But from coast to coast, day after day, Jews & allies around the country made sure the urgent need for a #CeasefireNOW was impossible to ignore. 🧵
On Monday:
🔥 DC: Dozens of #Rabbis4Ceasefire with @rodfeishalom led a Shacharit (morning prayer) at the Capitol and held a press conference with members of Congress who have publicly called for a ceasefire.

On Monday:
🔥 Chicago: 1000 Jews & allies with @IfNotNowChi, @JVPChicago, and @NeverAgainActn Chicago shut down a major transit hub in Chicago and blocked the Israeli consulate to demand a #CeasefireNOW.
The Jewish future is speaking. They want a #CeasefireNOW!
Last week, @jews4ceasefire Jewish students at @BrownUniversity sat in at the President's office to demand a ceasefire. This week, Jewish students across the country are amplifying the call on their campuses:🧵
.@Columbia and @BarnardCollege students stood at their school’s entrance, pleading with the administration to call for a ceasefire and stop exploiting their grief to support the massacre of innocents.
@Columbia @BarnardCollege Today at @Harvard, Jewish undergrads sat in at University Hall to urge their administration to call for a ceasefire.
At @Yale, @YJews4Ceasefire joined in song and prayer with the same demand.
And banners at @VanderbiltU and @AmherstCollege declared:
BREAKING: Democratic Party headquarters has been SHUT DOWN demanding a #CeasefireNOW.
We're here with@JVPaction&@DemSocialists because 80% of Democratic voters support a ceasefire, but Biden and party leaders refuse to listen.
The killing has to stop. We will not be ignored.
Now cops are violently attacking hundreds of people calling for a ceasefire outside of DNC Headquarters, as we chant "Let Gaza Live!"
We want to be crystal clear to the Democratic Party: you cannot continue to ignore those you claim to represent.
The people will not allow it.
BREAKING: Police are being extremely violent outside @TheDemocrats headquarters.
We are linking arms, threatening no one, and begging our politicians to support an end to the killing and the suffering in Gaza. Begging, peacefully, for a ceasefire.
