This, from a DSA organizer I follow.

Top priority for DSA is changing the US's position on Israel. Not improving conditions for working people in the US, or student debt relief, or immigration reform, or any of the other domestic issues that face our country. Instead, Israel. 1/ Image
DSA is comprised of mostly white, overprivileged, and overeducated people who have found their ubercause in a topic that has almost nothing to do with their day to day lives or the day to day lives of most working class Americans. 2/2
Half the country bans all abortion 2 weeks after you can first know you're pregnant and the biggest issue facing our country is Palestine? Remember when the most important issue was systemic racism? Say what you will about that, at least it was happening in the US.
But anyway glad DSA solved systemic racism as was able to move on to the next pressing issue, I'm sure they'll do just as good a job solving Palestine.

Someone asked how I was qualified to talk about what "the Jews" are thinking, which is a fair question so here is the answer.

Since Oct 7th Jews have talked to other Jews about almost nothing but Oct 7th and the explosion of antisemitism. 1/
If they haven't spoken about it *with you* it's because either they don't trust you enough to know how you feel, or they don't want to burden you with their constant anxiety. 2/ karolmarkowicz.substack.com/p/your-jewish-…
I also know a lot of Jewish people. I grew up in & live in NYC. I'm in Jewish FB groups. I belong to a synagogue. My kids go to Jewish day school. I'm pretty chatty. I come from and married into a large family.

Most of those Jews are high edu, high earning, & pretty liberal. 3/

I disagree on how "unshakably D" Jews are right now.

Jewish loyalty to the Democratic party stemmed from our belief that tolerance & pluralism is what saved American Jewry from the fate of European Jewry. 1/
American Jews sought to universalize our experience and promote pluralism, liberalism, and tolerance as a way to ensure our safety ("never again" became "never again for anyone"). Voting for Democrats was one way we sought to accomplish that. 2/
Allying with other oppressed groups, such as Black Americans and LGBTQ Americans, was another. Jews have been at the forefront of every progressive movement, because Jews honestly felt that the safety of all oppressed groups was essential to our safety. 3/

The most gracious explanation I can give this is that Phil has 12 tweets on how he doesn't understand that you can't always rely on literal translations, sometimes you need to use context clues to figure out what's going on. 1/
This happens all the time. The phrase "That's my boy!" could refer to my dog or my son, depending on context. And if you had to translate it into a different language, whether it was my dog or my son may affect the translation. So a correct translation would rely on context. 2/
So here, we have some context into what these men mean when they refer to the women they've captured as "sabiya" - which means either "sex slave" or just "girl," depending on who you ask. First, the video itself. Clearly these women will not be treated gently. 3/

I read through this "bombshell" WaPo report & mostly I'm amused that rich Jews reacted to Oct 7th the same way us poor(er) Jews did: by forming group chats to freak out over antisemitism together, albeit with way more money & slightly more influence 1/ archive.is/nHuBS
Seriously they reacted just like you and I did: they commiserated, they brainstormed how to keep the focus on what Hamas did on Oct 7th, they met with Israeli politicians, and they worried about their safety. 2/

Eventually they got bored and put the chat on mute 😂 3/ Image

Sonoma State Univ, a public univ in CA, capitulated to the anti-Israel protesters on campus last night.

It creates an "advisory council" of SJP, an anti-Israel extremist group, and puts them in charge of future academic boycotts of Israel. This is outrageous & illegal. 1/

A well-researched bombshell lawsuit brought by the survivors of Oct 7th details how SJP chapters across the US have been used since 10/7 to sanitize Hamas's atrocities, call for the destruction of Israel, & terrorize Jewish students. 2/ 3/ gtlaw.com/en/-/media/fil…

This group should be barely tolerated under the auspices of free speech, not given special access and rights. Why should a single student advocacy group that is not representative of the student body be given decision-making privileges? Because it threw the biggest tantrum? 4/

If you are a rich white woman, the easiest thing you can do to be accepted in the cool social justice circles is to listen to NPR, read prestige media, "listen to and learn from Black women," internalize those opinions, & start espousing them. I know because I was this woman. 1/
It's really very easy to do. I did it for years - it was fun, mostly subconscious, & most of the time not even that nefarious. I learned a lot about a lot of topics. I can still talk good social justice talk, and sometimes do it to my husband because it annoys him 😂 2/
I stopped being like this around August 2020 because I saw how harmful the liberal groupthink on covid was, especially to children. But until that point, adopting progressive talking points was harmless and carried social credit - I would be accepted by the "cool girls." 3/
