Let them come. Let them all come down. Let them take a good long look around. Let them see if my rivers won't suit them. Let them drown.

If we want to talk about the social media history of people’s wives, especially how they reacted to Oct 7th, we’re going to have to talk about Zohran Mamdani’s wife 🧵

A few days ago, the NYT ran a smear article on Dan Goldman’s wife’s social media activity post-Oct 7th. Disgruntled Goldman constituents tried to pathologize the normal and common Jewish trauma reaction. nytimes.com/2026/03/04/nyr…Image

Tamika Mallory was one of the leaders of the Women’s March until she was forced to resign in 2019 amidst several allegations of antisemitism. Since then, credibility shot, she’s done nothing of note. Until today, when Zohran Mamdani selected her to be on his transition team. 🧵 Image Vanessa Wruble, a Jewish woman & one of the original Women’s March leaders, was pushed out of leadership by Mallory. Specifically, Mallory told her that Jews controlled the slave trade (an antisemitic conspiracy theory) & berated Wruble that “your people hold all the wealth.” Image

It's no surprise that Alicia Singham Goodwin, political director of "Jews for Racial and Economic Justice" (& spearheader of "Jews for Zohran") is not herself Jewish.

Also no surprise that her uncle is Roy Singham, the China-based bankroller of leftist protest movements. 1/ Image

Or that her aunt, Roy Singham's wife, co-founded Code Pink with Medea Benjamin. Here's Medea declaring her support of Palestine Action after it was declared a terrorist organization in the UK. The entire X feed is full of anti-Israel propaganda. x.com/codepinkImage

On May 21, Tarek Barzouk was remanded to federal custody after the FBI found $750,000 & weapons in his home, and a phone filled with anti-Jewish and pro-terrorism texts. He had been charged with a federal hate crime for assaulting Jews on 3 separate occasions🧵 The first time was on April 15, 2024, when Barzouk kicked a Jewish protester who was standing next to people who wear wearing kippahs, carrying Israeli flags, and singing Jewish songs. Barzouk appears to have been arrested, but no criminal charges were filed. Image

New and explosive lawsuit brought on behalf of American family members of victims of Oct 7th & Israeli Columbia students against Nerdeen Kiswani, WOL, Columbia JVP and SJP, CUAD, and and Columbia students Maryam Alwan, Cameron Jones, and Mahmoud Khalil.

Docket No. 25-cv-2400 🧵 Image (for those who may not remember, Cameron Jones is best known for his role as Keffiyeh Ken in the now-infamous "basic humanitarian aid" video) Image

If you think the Jewish guy who wore a hat to a Palestinian coffeeshop was a setup, have I got a story to tell you about the plaintiffs in Lawrence v. Texas... 🧵 Briefly, Lawrence v. Texas is the landmark Supreme Court case striking down the Texas laws criminalizing sodomy as unconstitutional. It is one of the most important LGBTQ rights cases of modern times. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_…

For my entire childhood I was told (and told others) I was a "Sephardic" Jew - which didn't mean "Sephardic" (Western European) at all - it meant "Not Ashkenazi." It wasn't until extremely recently, maybe a few years ago, that I learned that I wasn't Sephardic, I was Mizrahi. 1/ Part of the group of Jews from Arab countries that left or were expelled. In my case, my grandmother left Afghanistan at 9 yo in 1948. These stories aren't told in the US because there are so few Mizrahi Jews here. Almost all of them went to Israel, which is 50% Mizrahi. 2/

Leifer is a founder of If Not Now, an anti/non-zionist AsAJew group that's extremely critical of Israel. @powerHouseBooks hosted this talk because it thought it was getting the right type of Jew. But when it found out who was moderating, @powerHouseBooks abruptly canceled. 1/ Rabbi Andy Bachman, a rabbi in Brooklyn, was to moderate the talk. Back in December, Rabbi Bachman also appeared at a panel discussion at CUNY to discuss the film Israelism, and had prepared a series of critical questions to ask. 2/ andybachman.substack.com/p/a-difficult-…

Thread about Nerdeen Kiswani, leader of Within Our Lifetime (WOL), who lead the protest outside of the Nova Exhibit on June 11 2024. You can see her in this video leading the chant about Israelis partying next to gas chambers during the Holocaust. 1/ Nerdeen also led the riot in front of the Brooklyn Museum & defended the Hamas-style targeting of the home of the museum's Jewish board members. A few months ago, she led a protest against Memorial Sloan Kettering, a cancer hospital in NYC, saying it was complicit in genocide. 2/

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

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 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/

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/

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/

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/

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 read the attempt to discredit the NY Times reporting on Hamas's systemic sexual violence so you don't have to. You should, so you can see the full extent of the depravity & misogyny enabled & required by antisemitism. But here are the highlights. theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new… Top line, the argument is that there is insufficient forensic evidence of any mass rape; if there were rapes, they were committed by ordinary Palestinians, not Hamas; the rapes were incidental, not systemic; and anyway, reporter is not credible because she liked bad tweets.

Am I supposed to feel bad for people like this?

Because I don't.

My only thought is what is wrong with you, crying over a home you've never been to and olive trees that existed 75 years ago. 🧵 Image Virtually every Jewish person has this story. Almost all of our grandparents were expelled, with various levels of violence, from their homelands.

Very few of us harbor illusions that we're going back. We moved on and focused on the future.

This mindset makes no sense to us.

This is for every single "education equity" activist who called open schools parents racists or white supremacists. You fought to keep schools remote, and as a result you took an already abysmal system and somehow made it even worse. Relatively wealthy white kids gained in reading because their private schools opened or their parents hired tutors. Asian families are super organized around education and were able to activate the community. Black and Hispanic kids weren't as fortunate. Oops!

Someone asked me today how covid had affected my relationship with Jewish institutions and the answer is negatively, probably irrevocably so.

In August 2022, almost every non-Orthodox synagogue in NYC requires masks, vaccines, or both. For everyone, including babies. 🧵 None of these synagogues is my synagogue, but mine has similar policies. Everyone over 6 mos has to be vaccinated, and everyone over the age of 2 has to wear a KN95 mask. My younger children cannot go to services or Hebrew school because they're not vaccinated.
