    Today it is down to 26.77 based on reports that they plan to issue more stock which will have the effect of diluting the value of current stock owners.

    Maybe you should ask Iran and Hamas if they think that the Democrats and Joe Biden are on their team.
    Because they would ask how is it that republican’s actually believe all the propaganda that Russia and Iran promote.

    Aaq,

    I don’t suspect you as being in the cult, but those simply are not the facts.
    Your whole defense of COVID is bizarre. He was the president and he was responsible for the US response to it. He FAILED 1,000,000 Americans including Tzadikim and Tzidkaniyos.
    Now really go check your history of the Trump 4 years and you will find failure after failure with major wars and conflicts.
    They are too many for me to list, but if you challenge me I will list them.

    Another point with Rav Miller zatsal is that he said things that were jaw dropping and only if you listened to him regularly would you understand.

    A great example is today’s Toras Avigdor email where he was asked on tape about the OJ Verdict.

    “We learn that if a jury of black men see how Simpson killed this woman, they exonerate him anyhow. That’s what we learn.

    We learn how foolish the gentiles are. They take a bunch of shotim and they make them for judges. The judges themselves are very low characters. But they pick the lowest of the low and they give them the power to make rulings that can decide the verdict.

    So America is a land of shotim! You have to know, the American goyim are meshugoyim and shotim. That’s the only way to say it. And the Englishmen are shotim. And the Dutchmen are more shotim. In Holland, it’s terrible how meshugeh they are. And there’s something rotten in Denmark. Denmark is as rotten as could be. All the goyim; all the goyim are meshugeh.

    Today they’re more meshugeh than ever before. Only that the newspapers praise their meshugas and so they go more meshugeh.

    I want to tell you my own opinion. When they had kings, people weren’t so meshugeh. A king meant business and people behaved. A king – TAPE CUTS OFF”.

    Do you believe that Rav Miller would have wanted to live under the Russian Czar or even the current Russian King Putin? Chas veshalom !

    ujm,

    Have you spoken to him in the last 23 years ?
    Do you know that not every Gadol agreed with Rav Miller zatsal regarding elections?
    I am 100% positive , although I have not spoken to him recently, that Rav Miller Zatsal would be appalled , dismayed and terrified at what the current republican party is and what Trump did on January 6th.
    I am also 100% sure that Rav Miller zatsal’s view on the world was 100% based on the Torah and he knew that there were many blemishes in the republican party even back then.

    Chaim,

    You are correct. I am going to have a lot of egg on my face if Trump wins in November and a lot of posters on YWN will probably never let me live it down and will be reminding me daily. I am not looking forward to that possibility. But as Rush Limbaugh said on his radio program after Bill Clinton won the Presidency and after Rush had skewered him and Hillary throughout the campaign ,(not a quote) ” I am not going anywhere and I will be here enjoying myself for the next 4 years .” Rush had a very successful program attacking and making fun of Bill and Hillary daily for the next 8 years.

    But as I expect Trump will be in jail before the nomination and will also lose the election, I will be here proud that America did not elect a criminal as President.
    The ones who will have egg on their faces will be the Republican party who elected a criminal , traitor and insurrectionist who did not transfer power after losing the past election. The republican’s will have lost EVERYTHING because of Trump. History will wonder how Trump was able to take over the Republican party and destroy it with the willing participation of the rest of the party.

    My vote for president of the US does not depend exclusively on Israel. You can disagree.

    Regarding Israel and finishing the job , please talk to Bibi , his cabinet and the IDF and tell them your thoughts on how they can finish the job. Also maybe explain what finishing the job means. No more Sonei Yisroel Terrorists ? Is that a realistic goal?
    Bibi and his cabinet are going to do whatever is necessary to keep Israel secure no matter who is POTUS or what Biden says.
    I know that Biden fully supports Israel in destroying Hamas. Biden has different ideas, based on his morality, only about humanitarian aid and collateral damage. It is pretty clear how much America has supported Israel in it’s current war – including preventing many other enemies of Israel who would have loved to use this opportunity to start a second and third front.

    Jews who live in the tri-state area can be as vocal in their support for Trump as much as they want . But bottom line is NY , NJ and Connecticut are sending all 50 electoral college electors for Biden in January 2025 despite all the Orthodox Jews.

    Sorry , I didn’t know that Alvin Bragg has anything to do with the Federal Justice Department or Joe Biden.

    An issue that is unprecedented , is for the entire Republican party to wage war against all the legal institutions of the United States and cast aspersions on their legitimacy because they have a candidate that has acted in so many unlawful ways and is being prosecuted for his actions.

    1) $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan
    One of Biden’s first acts as president was to try to get the coronavirus pandemic under control by passing the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

    The White House sent Americans in the low-to-medium income range a $1,400 payment to help fund basic necessities like rent and groceries. Biden also extended a $300 a week federal unemployment benefit for some 9.7 million people out of work at the time, temporarily expanded the child tax credit program, allotted $7.25 billion for small business loans and $128 billion in grants for state educational agencies.

    Biden teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to administer and track COVID-19 vaccinations across the country.

    The bill passed the Senate 50-49 and the House 220 to 211, both along party lines, before being signed into law by the president on March 11.
    While the initiatives were broadly popular with voters, critics warned the rescue plan could actually make the country’s economic outlook worse. THE CRITICS WERE ALL PROVEN WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2) $1 trillion infrastructure bill
    Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in November 2021 that will repair the nation’s roads, bridges and railways, bring high-speed internet to rural communities and more.

    The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes: $284 billion for transportation needs, which includes repairing bridges and roadways, public transit and airports, electric vehicles and low emission public transportation; $65 billion for broadband internet; $73 billion for power infrastructure; and $55 billion for clean drinking water.

    The legislation was a major bipartisan achievement, made possible by 32 Republicans — 13 in the House and 19 in the Senate — who crossed the aisle to ensure it passed. Former President Donald Trump had pressed conservatives to vote against the bill, but key GOP leaders Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky supported the legislation.

    3) In wake of the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, N.Y., — which together claimed the lives of 19 children and 12 adults — Biden signed into law the largest gun-safety bill to pass Congress in nearly 30 years. While historically significant, the bill was rather limited compared to what gun control advocates would have wanted.

    4) The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
    The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 passed in August, which allocated roughly $53 billion in federal funding to manufacture semiconductor chips in the U.S. instead of relying on China to produce them.

    5) Inflation Reduction Act.

    It took almost a year for Biden’s ambitious package to pass through Congress, with Vice President Harris’ vote breaking the Senate’s 50-50 party line vote. It cleared the House in a 220-207 vote along party lines, without a single Republican voting in favor.

    The bill aims to tackle inflation by reducing the federal deficit, promote production of certain goods and limit the cost of some prescription drugs,

    6) Support for Ukraine’s defense against a Russian invasion

    7) Support for Israel wiping out Hamas in Gaza after the Hamas’s invasion on October 7th

    Now tell me what the Republican congress accomplished in the last year.

    stated on February 25, 2023 in an Instagram post: Joe Biden described America as “the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping.”

    Video misleads on the ‘single word’ President Joe Biden used to describe the United States

    In a clip posted on Instagram, President Joe Biden stands at a lectern, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

    “America’s a nation that can be defined in a single word,” Biden says in the video. “I was in the foot— foot— excuse me, in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping, traveling with him … traveled 17,000 miles when I was vice president at the time. I don’t know that for a fact.”

    The video then ends.

    Biden, who has a stutter, was clearly stumbling over a few words in the clip. But his speech, which was given in April 2022 after Jackson was confirmed as a justice, didn’t end there. Neither did his anecdote about Chinese President Xi Jinping. Biden went on to say what single word he would use to define the United States.

    “And we were sitting alone,” Biden continued. “I had an interpreter and he had an interpreter. And he looked at me. In all seriousness, he said, ‘Can you define America for me?’ And I said what many of you heard me say for a long time. I said, ‘Yes, I can, in one word: possibilities. Possibilities.’ That, in America, everyone should be able to go as far as their hard work and God-given talent will take them. And possibilities. We’re the only ones. That’s why we’re viewed as the ‘ugly Americans.’ We think anything is possible.”

    We rate claims that Biden described America as “the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping” False.

    IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
    Joe Biden used “possibilities” to describe the United States in a single word.

    The Instagram video cut off the rest of Biden’s remarks to give the false impression that he described the U.S. as “the foothills of the Himalayas.”

    Truth Social is a perfect example of the myth of Trump’s wealth. On paper it says he is worth 3.5 Billion Dollars but when you actually look at the details it is all worthless.

    First, experts say the market is drastically overvaluing Trump Media based on the company’s fundamentals.
    The stock price is clearly a bubble. No rational investor would take the stock at face value, especially if they had to hold it for any length of time.

    SEC filings indicate Trump Media’s revenue amounted to just $1.1 million during the third quarter. The company posted a loss of $26 million that quarter.

    The other bad news for Trump is that this stake is not as liquid as it sounds. Those paper gains would be very difficult for Trump to translate to actual cash.

    In fact, Trump’s shares in this company are in many ways even less liquid than his real estate holdings.

    That means Trump would have a hard time dumping the stock or even pledging it as collateral.

    Truth Social has a shrinking user base

    The number of Truth Social’s US monthly active users on iOS and Android is down 39% year-over-year, according to Similarweb data shared with CNN earlier this month. Truth Social remains much smaller than X (formerly Twitter), which is also shrinking but at a slower pace.

    And yet Trump Media is being valued north of $6 billion on a fully diluted basis, which includes all stocks and options that could be converted to common stock, according to Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida.

    Ritter said the current market price is hard, if not impossible, to justify.

    “It is grossly overvalued,” said Ritter. “It qualifies as a meme stock for which the price is divorced from fundamental value…Meme stock investors are usually buying on the basis of the greater fool theory of investing: It is overvalued today, but I hope to make money selling it to an even greater fool tomorrow at an even higher price.”

    I think you are exaggerating.
    Since you seem to be a maven on the modern Democratic party and everyone else is dinosaurs and you therefore proclaim with confidence that “with fewer and fewer exceptions it is set to turn on the Jews”, maybe you can give the names of the Majority of Democrats that you are referring to and how they are set to turn on the Jews.
    Also, you declare that the far-left is now the mainstream – please tell me who these far left people that are now mainstream are.

    Also, please tell me the number of Jewish Politicians in the Democratic party compared to the number in the Republican party.

    Biden’s total support of Israel politically and militarily, in the UN and with the Arab World, has never been shown as much as it has since October 6th.
    He has never abandoned Israel and supports them in their goal of eradicating Hamas.
    All of the Jewish skeptics have been proven totally wrong about Biden and the Modern Democrat party. But they will never change their original beliefs despite all the evidence against them.

    A breakthrough !! Although they are going to have to explain the intrinsic contradiction.

    Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) on Wednesday signed a bill to protect providers and patients doing in vitro fertilization from legal liability if embryos they create are damaged or destroyed, a move that comes weeks after a state Supreme Court ruling threatened the treatment’s use.

    The bill, signed into law less than three weeks after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are people and individuals could be held liable for destroying them, gives criminal and civil immunity “for death or damage to an embryo” related to IVF. The unprecedented ruling alarmed medical professionals and reproductive rights advocates, who warned it would jeopardize IVF access in the state. Several Alabama providers halted IVF treatments within days of the decision.

    Ivey has been vocal about protecting IVF, joining Republicans across the country who have defended the treatment, distancing themselves from the ruling. In a statement late Wednesday, Ivey applauded the state legislature for what she called a “stop-gap measure” that will allow fertility clinics that had closed after the ruling to reopen.

    “Let me say clearly: Alabama supports growing families through IVF,” Ivey said. “From protecting the unborn to supporting IVF, Alabama is proud we are a pro-life, pro-family state.”

    Avirah,

    The government of Alabama with the full support of the christofascists’s limited IVF. It is not one hospital. It is three IVF clinics.
    You would also stop doing IVF if you were a medical clinic in Alabama and possibly could be indicted for murder.
    The christofascist’s who had abortion as their major agenda but now have nothing to run on, will continue to push for the definition that fertilized embryos are protected humans.
    Yesterday , Senator Tammy Duckworth proposed legislation to protect access to IVF, but Republicans rejected it. Republicans will eventually push for a Federal ban on abortion and IVF. It might take 2, 10 or 50 years. It took them 50 years for Roe v Wade.

    IVF is illegal in Costa Rica because they are christofascist’s.

    So that I understand, please explain what the phrase ” separation of church and state” means to you and which is not meant by the First Amendment establishment clause.

    Avirah,

    “The 1st amendment says that the government shall not establish a state religion. It doesn’t mean that religion plays no role in a broader sense of government, and it was not uncommon for the Bible to be quoted by judges in the 1800s.” Because citizens of the US are allowed to practice any religion that they want.

    The First Amendment establishes a separation of church and state. Christian laws cannot be established as the law of the US.

    Nor can Moslems have Sharia law as much they would love that.

    The states that put into their constitutions that life begins at fertilization did not ask any of the Gedolay Hador for their opinion.

    I will emphasize that the christofascist’s disagree even with your lukewarm definition. They want all of their religious dogmas and doctrines to be the law of the US. That includes that life begins at fertilization no matter if it is in the womb or in the freezer. They have already been given control of the abortion debate by POTUS and established state laws based on their religion. That IVF will become almost impossible is not a fluke . It is a feature of their beliefs.

    Avirah,

    Supporting christofascists (or if you don’t like that term, you can call them plain Christian republicans) in their work to honor their Christian religious belief’s and establish them as the law of the US is also a tremendous Chilul Hashem. In this case it also prevents Jews from practicing Halacha and being Mekayem the Mitzvah of Pru Urvu.

    I think the difference between me and you is that you trust the christofascist’s so you think they are doing some sort of tzidkus with abortion.
    I am positive that they are not doing any tzidkus and cannot be trusted.
    My lack of trust has been proven correct because in the short time that Roe v Wade was overturned we already have people unable to continue their IVF treatments in Alabama. It will continue to other states and you will only be able to do IVF in the blue states. This is not hypothetical. This is actually the case right now.

    “But the ones who killed 6 million – more than all of the pogroms put together – and the ones who shmadded millions of jews in Russia, were secularists. That needs to be stressed.”
    You are counting numbers of Jews killed and the secularists win the prize over the religious killers? Is that what determines who we are more in danger from?

    Uncle Ben,

    Did I say anywhere that the court banned IVF treatment? I posted the whole NPR article which is very clear on the sequence of events and what the court was ruling on.
    Sorry, this is a daily occurrence in every center that does IVF. An IVF cycle requires the creation and storage of many of these ” embryos “.
    The Alabama Hospital does not want to be criminally indicted for what according to the new definition of the Alabama Supreme Court is an abortion.

    I hope that the non-christofascist republicans will finally realize that they can’t have it both ways – abortion at conception and IVF . The christofascist republicans are fine with this. They hold that these IVF embryos are people and they cannot be aborted and if IVF stops happening in the US, it will be another win for them.
    Now, Uncle Ben do research on what is done with the millions of “embryos” in storage that are no longer going to be used because potential parent’s decided they no longer are going to use them.

    Lostspark,

    I have no connection to San Francisco or what is going on there since I live on the East Coast and have never even visited California. There are many parts of the US that are far removed from paradise. Many of these places are in Red States. Many Red states are dead last on the list of healthcare, education , crime, employment opportunities etc…

    The Republican party never wants to be part of the solution to the issue of illegal immigration. (In fact they do not want to ever offer solutions. They love complaining. That is why they keep losing and will lose again in November.) ( Test: name one issue that Republicans offered a solution to resolve.)
    There are currently approximately over 11 million illegal immigrants who have been here for decades. They did not come across the border during the Biden administration. They were here when Trump was in office.
    In fact , the puppet in chief, Mike Johnson, who thinks he is a religious person , just prevented a Senate bill on immigration that was bipartisan (meaning both Republican and Democrat Senators approved of it) from even coming to a vote in the House.

    As people have mentioned above, immigrants come here for opportunities and are willing to work hard and a menial jobs in order to get ahead. They are sacrificing for their children’s sake who will grow up as educated Americans and have the same job opportunities as every other American has.

    It is a Trump racist lie and canard that illegal immigrants are the cause of crime in the US.

    In other news today , the US under the leadership the President of The United States Joe Biden, who is a Democrat and one of the bests Presidents that the Jews have had in recent history , on Tuesday vetoed an Arab-backed and widely supported U.N. resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in the embattled Gaza Strip, saying it would interfere with negotiations on a deal to free hostages abducted in Israel.

    The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-1 with the United Kingdom abstaining, reflecting the strong support from countries around the globe for ending the war, which started when Hamas militants invaded southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking 250 others hostage.

    It was the third U.S. veto of a Security Council resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza and came a day after the United States circulated a rival resolution that would support a temporary cease-fire linked to the release of all hostages

    He won running as Barack Obama . He is black.
    He helped Israel and is allowed to promote US interests in the region.
    Lgbt and trans people exist . They cannot be created through legislation. He is definitely not a mushchas.
    He promoted religious principles and equality since he is personally a devout christian.
    He made healthcare affordable for many Americans. The healthcare companies couldn’t care less about raising premiums and lowering coverage. They do it every year and never say they are sorry that they have made it unaffordable for many Americans.
    Iran has it’s own self-interests and they were prevented from developing a atomic bomb.

    Meanwhile the real mushchas Donald J Trump who cheated on his spouse, cheated on his taxes, is an adjudicated rapist, is totally non-religious, declared bankruptcy more times that can be counted, was the only president not transfer power peacefully, etc etc etc

    jdf007,

    Are you for the stationing of Israeli soldiers permanently in Gaza or not? If you are for it, then you can take the responsibility of every 19 year old soldier who dies in Gaza.
    I hope that Israel completes the job of destroying Hamas and then get out of there as soon as possible.

    This has nothing to do with any legacy or Hamas getting what it wants. It has to do with the reality that Israel will complete it’s goal of destroying Hamas and then needs to decide what to do afterwards. If your only suggestion is that Israel should stay there and become the policemen forever in Gaza , I think you need to reconsider.

    Ujm,

    If Israeli soldiers were permanently located inside Gaza, they would be daily targets for Hamas terrorists.

    The losses would be terrible.

    “Hamas-loving, Jew-hating liberals, whether in academia, media, entertainment, BLM or the democRAT party, all proudly self-identify as WOKE.”
    No they don’t. Because that has nothing to do with being “WOKE”.

    Are Ismaeil Haniya or Hezbollah or the Houthis also “WOKE” in your opinion?

    Comparing Sally Kornbluth and Claudine Gay to kapos who energetically crammed Jews into ghettos, cattle cars, gas chambers and crematoria on YWN is even more UNBELIEVABLE.

    Hadofi,

    Woke does have a meaning in the English Language and in none of the meanings does it refer to Hamas ideology.

    Using the word woke to mean whatever you want is a tactic. It is used to blindly confuse people into lumping all liberals into the same position.

    Inventing a ludicrous position (all white people are evil) adding it to the term woke and then applying it to all liberals may make people feel that their side is logical, but it is not helpful when discussing issues.

    I never said that Claudine Gay loves Jews. I said she is not an anti-semite. Just as much as Sally Kornbluth in not an anti-semite.
    Will you also call her an ‘anti-semite” and unqualified?

    “How are you going to respond when as usual, your anti-Semitic besties violently protest support of Israel as part of the platform during the convention?”

    I am going to respond that this tiny, tiny minority are going to be trounced by the majority of the party and by POTUS Biden.

    “Anti-semitic besties” , “liberal coreligionists “. Unbelievable.

    There is no republican party. It is Trump’s party and whatever he says becomes the republican stance. If he says that the president can throw out the constitution and commit illegal acts as part of his official duties, then that becomes the Republican party line. That is not an “if” because that is exactly what Trump did after losing the election and is now hoping that 5 member’s (3 of them installed by him and a fourth who has no ethics) of SCOTUS will agree with him.

    WOKE has no meaning. It is just a term that right wing republican’s use for whatever they are against.

    Now , WOKE is being used to mean Hamas Terrorism which has absolutely zero connection to the Democratic Party. Unbelievable.

    I was simply saying that she is a capable President and that she is not personally anti-Semitic.

    AAQ and Anonymous Jew,

    For the past 8 years she was a Dean and Administrator at Harvard. She was promoted during that time. She was competent and successful.
    Writing yearly papers is not a pre-requisite to being a President, Dean or an Administrator at Harvard. In fact, those are 2 completely different skills.

    You might be able to plagiarize to pass a course or earn a degree , but you can’t be successful in being a Dean at Harvard unless you are capable.
    I do not condone plagiarism nor the idea that condemning a group and advocating mass murder of people of color requires context. Did I say that ?

    Her words, and the other 2 President’s words, show that they have let insane, racist, and dangerous policies be enacted due to their mistaken notions and beliefs.

    CA,
    I am sure that most people who saw my words “politicians” and “ethics” immediately thought of Trump.

    ujm,

    Why do you think she was unqualified ? Do you think Harvard can’t find a qualified person to be President after considering 600 candidates?
    Plagiarism is a ethical fault and does not make her unqualified. A lot of Politicians, CEO’s and Dean’s fail when it comes to ethics.
    Do you call them all unqualified?
    Her career and background were built on her personal qualities and capabilities. She has many accomplishments in her life due to her aptitude and skills. She was successful until now and so will she be in the future.

    Finally , she is not an Anti-Semite.

    common saychel,
    I don’t ingest the stuff that you take.
    It is clear what the religious belief’s of the 99 Year old ex-president , who hasn’t been politically active for 40 years, and is on his deathbed, are. Carter is a religious Protestant who can be referred to as a Southern Baptist, an evangelical and as born again.
    There is peace between Egypt and Israel only because of him.

    I am also positive that Obama is not and never was a Sonei Yisroel.

    And I am sure that if you go to Trump and tell him to his face that you are voting for DeSantis he will spit at you despite the Kippah on your head and the Israeli flag in your hand.

    Here are Obama’s thoughts on the conflict. He clearly is not a sonei yisrael or hater of the State of Israel.

    “It’s been 17 days since Hamas launched its horrific attack against Israel, killing over 1,400 Israeli citizens, including defenseless women, children and the elderly. In the aftermath of such unspeakable brutality, the U.S. government and the American people have shared in the grief of families, prayed for the return of loved ones, and rightly declared solidarity with the Israeli people.

    As I stated in an earlier post, Israel has a right to defend its citizens against such wanton violence, and I fully support President Biden’s call for the United States to support our long-time ally in going after Hamas, dismantling its military capabilities, and facilitating the safe return of hundreds of hostages to their families.

    But even as we support Israel, we should also be clear that how Israel prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters. In particular, it matters — as President Biden has repeatedly emphasized — that Israel’s military strategy abides by international law, including those laws that seek to avoid, to every extent possible, the death or suffering of civilian populations. Upholding these values is important for its own sake — because it is morally just and reflects our belief in the inherent value of every human life. Upholding these values is also vital for building alliances and shaping international opinion — all of which are critical for Israel’s long-term security.

    This is an enormously difficult task. War is always tragic, and even the most carefully planned military operations often put civilians at risk. As President Biden noted during his recent visit to Israel, America itself has at times fallen short of our higher values when engaged in war, and in the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. government wasn’t interested in heeding the advice of even our allies when it came to the steps we took to protect ourselves against Al Qaeda. Now, after the systematic massacre of Israeli citizens, a massacre that evokes some of the darkest memories of persecution against the Jewish people, it’s understandable that many Israelis have demanded that their government do whatever it takes to root out Hamas and make sure such attacks never happen again. Moreover, Hamas’ military operations are deeply embedded within Gaza — and its leadership seems to intentionally hide among civilians, thereby endangering the very people they claim to represent.

    Still, the world is watching closely as events in the region unfold, and any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs could ultimately backfire. Already, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the bombing of Gaza, many of them children. Hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes. The Israeli government’s decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis; it could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel’s enemies, and undermine long term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.

    It’s therefore important that those of us supporting Israel in its time of need encourage a strategy that can incapacitate Hamas while minimizing further civilian casualties. Israel’s recent shift to allow relief trucks into Gaza, prompted in part by the Biden administration’s behind-the-scenes diplomacy, is an encouraging step, but we need to continue to lead the international community in accelerating critical aid and supplies to an increasingly desperate Gaza population. And while the prospects of future peace may seem more distant than ever, we should call on all of the key actors in the region to engage with those Palestinian leaders and organizations that recognize Israel’s right to exist to begin articulating a viable pathway for Palestinians to achieve their legitimate aspirations for self-determination — because that is the best and perhaps only way to achieve the lasting peace and security most Israeli and Palestinian families yearn for.

    Finally, in dealing with what is an extraordinarily complex situation where so many people are in pain and passions are understandably running high, all of us need to do our best to put our best values, rather than our worst fears, on display.

    That means actively opposing anti-semitism in all its forms, everywhere. It means rejecting efforts to minimize the terrible tragedy that the Israeli people have just endured, as well as the morally-bankrupt suggestion that any cause can somehow justify the deliberate slaughter of innocent people.

    It means rejecting anti-Muslim, anti-Arab or anti-Palestinian sentiment. It means refusing to lump all Palestinians with Hamas or other terrorist groups. It means guarding against dehumanizing language towards the people of Gaza, or downplaying Palestinian suffering — whether in Gaza or the West Bank — as irrelevant or illegitimate.

    It means recognizing that Israel has every right to exist; that the Jewish people have claim to a secure homeland where they have ancient historical roots; and that there have been instances in which previous Israeli governments made meaningful efforts to resolve the dispute and provide a path for a two-state solution — efforts that were ultimately rebuffed by the other side.

    It means acknowledging that Palestinians have also lived in disputed territories for generations; that many of them were not only displaced when Israel was formed but continue to be forcibly displaced by a settler movement that too often has received tacit or explicit support from the Israeli government; that Palestinian leaders who’ve been willing to make concessions for a two-state solution have too often had little to show for their efforts; and that it is possible for people of good will to champion Palestinian rights and oppose certain Israeli government policies in the West Bank and Gaza without being anti-semitic.

    Perhaps most of all, it means we should choose not to always assume the worst in those with whom we disagree. In an age of constant rancor, trolling and misinformation on social media, at a time when so many politicians and attention seekers see an advantage in shedding heat rather than light, it may be unrealistic to expect respectful dialogue on any issue — much less on an issue with such high stakes and after so much blood has been spilled. But if we care about keeping open the possibility of peace, security and dignity for future generations of Israeli and Palestinian children — as well as for our own children — then it falls upon all of us to at least make the effort to model, in our own words and actions, the kind of world we want them to inherit.”
