Who could have foreseen this?!? If only someone had warned us!

Man just wait till the ADL sees what else I was right about! (Everything.)
Anyway good to come back from two days off the grid and see that Dems would shut down the govt rather than aid in a purely defensive program for the Jewish state.
I don't blame Pelosi. AOC gave her an order, what do we expect her to do?

Caught between their principles and their...rabbis? Are the rabbis being mean to the Squad? Did AOC switch her vote because she was afraid she'd get in trouble and miss Shabbos Party? She was supposed to be the ima this week! Image
Amazing stuff
NYT weird "blame the beardlings" for AOC crying aside, the whole premise is off anyway. AOC isn't afraid of "lobbyists" or "rabbis," it's that she realizes it's unpopular among NY *voters* that she opposes saving the lives of Jewish children from terrorist bombs. Poor AOC!

I think the lines are basically set in terms of ppl who feel strongly about the vax one way or the other, and the persuadables are still persuadable in the middle. So some in that middle will pick up the pace now, I assume. But I wish he'd make a coherent case, which exists.
Good case for adults getting vaxxed: things go back to normal.

Bad case for adults getting vaxxed: kids still can't get an education and adults should continue to fear for their lives.

Not sure how much it matters at this late point, but it's still so asinine.
And also we know schools should be back to normal but they're not because politics and unions. So why are we getting campaign speeches instead of any acknowledgement of the science? This is like Shawshank lifers afraid they can't make it on the outside.

I love that this Israeli self-defense group (in NYC, sounds like?) named itself after the Jewish Legion. But as the Resident Legion Guy on twitter, I have to correct this part of an otherwise wonderful piece (I have three separate Tablet tabs open rn, such a great pub)
They trained in Egypt, but many of the expelled were in the US--Ben Gurion was the one who recruited my ggf in Cleveland. Many of the East European refugees thus were not in the Russian battalion of the Legion b/c they had, like my fam, gone to America first.
They were thus put in the North American battalion, mainly the 39th Royal Fusiliers. But language was a problem because the ones who came from America weren't Americans! Americans weren't allowed yet to fight in WWI even for Brits, only resident aliens.

Absolutely sparkling essay by @b_judah on something I've thought about so much while reading modern Jewish American fiction. Ben puts it into words so perfectly: American Jewish writers are bored by their lives and experiences unherd.com/2021/06/how-am…
I'll add one thought to @b_judah's phenomenal piece, which is that the obsession with Israel by the *characters* in these books takes the form of pilgrimage and redemption. Israel is the escape, Israel is the answer. And yet, this is from Zionism-agnostics in many cases!
For example: Nathan Englander's protagonist in KADDISH DOT COM. Both protagonists follow that route in Nicole Krauss's FOREST DARK, leaving their very successful emptiness for Israel. Same with Cherise Wolas's THE FAMILY TABOR (a better version of Krauss's book). plus--

Israel's first Orthodox prime minister and (I believe) first Islamist minister will be sworn in today.
Correction: he's not a minister. His significance to the coalition is just hard to put a title on.

I'm usually against reboots but this one looks intriguing ImageImage
Bibi's Bunch. All the former Bibi aides have grown up and are on their own. Looking forward to the episode where they all come home to the Netanyahus for seder. Image
In episode 3 Bibi and Mansour Abbas find out they're related.
