May 8, 2026At the U. of #Michigan’s recent commencement ceremony, history professor Derek Peterson delivered a 5-minute speech in which he celebrated all those who have fought for justice at the university, my alma mater. Invoking our legendary fight song, he asked the crowd to “sing” for suffragist Sarah Burger, who battled to get #women admitted as students; for Moritz Levi, UM's first #Jewish professor; for all the students who fought for #RacialJustice at #UM as part of the Black Action Movement; and for the “pro-#Palestinian student activists, who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of #Israel’s war in #Gaza.”

If you're looking for facts and opinions that appeal to you more, read #Haaretz or #TheForward. #Germans, on the whole, don't have much regard for #democracy. That's why they like to babble so much about the "firewall". This is nothing more than a free pass for all #rightWingExtremists who do not belong to the #AfD.

Exclusive interview - #MahmoudKhalil wants to reassure you
The Columbia #protest leader on #Hamas, Zionism and why #Jews shouldn’t fear a ‘free Palestine’

[#Jewish publication from #USA]
April 7, 2026“I have a nuanced view of the #Zionist project that goes beyond 'Zionism is bad.'”(On what he learned from engaging with liberal Zionism)
Khalil, like the movement he came to represent, is adamant that #Zionism is racist. He opposes any two-state solution that seeks to preserve a Jewish majority in #Israel.
“Rejecting the self-determination of the Jewish people on the #Palestinian land in itself is not #antisemitism,” Khalil said during our interview. “You are denying other people’s rights in the land.”
“This is what we should aspire for: to get a place where there’s no more conflict, no more killing in that place and it’s open to anyone who wants to call it their home.”

#ADL chief compares student protesters to Islamist terrorists
#JonathanGreenblatt also said protests against #Israel were driven by ‘same kind of nihilists’ who participated in Black Lives Matter
from #TheForward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]By Arno Rosenfeld and Jacob Kornbluh June 6, 2025
[contains links to audio of his speech]
"“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.
“There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"

#Texas may soon require schools to post the Ten Commandments. Meet the Jewish lawmaker fighting back.
Rep. Jon Rosenthal is the only Jewish member of the Texas House
from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]By Hannah Feuer
May 30, 2025"Rosenthal introduced an amendment that would have required public schools to display the Jewish and Catholic versions of the #TenCommandments, in addition to the Protestant version, which all have slightly different wording. The amendment’s failure to pass, he argued, showed the hypocrisy of the bill’s supporters.
“The fact that they will argue it’s only about values and not about religion, I think it’s a pretty disingenuous talking point,” he said. “The whole thrust of this, I think, is to get a case in front of a newly formed Supreme Court.” The U.S. Supreme Court has had a 6-3 conservative majority since 2020."

We must face reality — the Gaza War is now a war of annihilation
Canceling Israel’s critics won’t change the reality of what is unfolding in #Gaza

[#Jewish publication from #USA]
Jay Michaelson May 28, 2025"The gulf between #Israel’s government and the rest of the world — including its allies, the #Trump administration, the #Israeli public, and the American Jewish community — is widening into a chasm. And yet some in Jewish leadership are hiding their heads in the sand.
Critics of the #Netanyahu-#Smotrich regime are no longer just campus protesters, or hostile-to-Israel regimes, or antisemites like the murderer of two young Jews at an AJC event in Washington DC last week. They include former prime minister Ehud Olmert..."

Israeli left-wing group suspended at University of Haifa after protesting the war in Gaza
By Grace Gilson
May 4, 2025from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA](JTA) — Last week, at a university known for its diverse population, more than a dozen students sat on the floor of a campus building for 10 minutes holding photos of #Palestinian children killed in the war in #Gaza.
Five days later, their group was suspended through the end of the semester for staging an unauthorized protest.
It wasn’t in the Ivy League, and ICE agents weren’t about to raid the dorms. It was the latest dustup over the Gaza war at the University of #Haifa, where #Jewish and #Arab #Israeli students have at times clashed in ways that echo the campus drama in the United States.

#ICE arrests #Palestinian protest leader at #Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actions
Jewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest
from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.
“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”
The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "

[#Jewish publication from USA]#Dutch #Jews grapple with ‘weaponization’ of their fear following attack on #Israelis
[Has information on the racist anti-Arab provocations of the visiting Israeli soccer fans, including tearing down Palestinian flags and burning a taxi belonging to a Moroccan driver. It's clear that much of the violence was directed at Israeli hooligans, not Jews in general.]
Excerpt: "Jelle Zijlstra, who is Jewish and works as a community organizer in Amsterdam, made a post that went viral on Instagram stating that “multiple truths can exist at the same time.” It highlighted both the assaults on Israelis and footage of the fans shouting “F— Palestine” the night before.
“There was definitely antisemitism involved in some of the events that took place,” Zijlstra said in an interview. “Were Jews attacked in the streets? Yes, but those Jews were also violent hooligans.”"

Very thoughtful response to this query in The Bintel Brief (advice column from #TheForward).
My favorite part is this quote, "“I do think you can find your place in Jewish community, but you might not find everything you’re looking for in one community,"
This has definitely been my experience. I would be very unhappy if I was forced to choose one Jewish Community to belong to exclusively. I need my #humanistic #havurah for fellowship, inspiration, and intellectual engagement with fellow non-theists, but I also need my local brick and mortar #Reform synagogue for the experience of being part of a large pluralistic community, as well as all of the in-person opportunities for community engagement (and of course all of the programming they provide for my son).
And... I also need my non-Jewish spiritual community, my lovely quirky progressive #Mennonite church where I remain an associate member. I need to be in a space sometimes where I can be unapologetic about prioritizing #peace above all other values.

I need my #humanistic #havurah for fellowship, inspiration, and intellectual engagement with fellow non-theists, but I also need my local brick and mortar #Reform synagogue for the experience of being part of a large pluralistic community, as well as all of the in-person opportunities for community engagement (and of course all of the programming they provide for my son).
And... I also need my non-Jewish spiritual community, my lovely quirky progressive #Mennonite church where I remain an associate member. I need to be in a space sometimes where I can be unapologetic about prioritizing #peace above all other values.

Very thoughtful response to this query in The Bintel Brief (advice column from #TheForward).

"A #disinformation campaign linked to #Russia has intensified its activity in recent weeks, with fake news articles, dummy websites and videos using AI-generated voice-overs to spread false reports regarding the war in #Gaza and protests in #Israel. The campaign included web pages masquerading as articles from #TheForward that were shared by thousands of bot accounts on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter." #Media #Journalism #Palestine cc: @theforward https://forward.com/news/627768/the-forward-disinformation-russia-fake-article/
