Video: Obama says same-sex marriages should be legal
May 10, 2012 - News & Politics - 0
“At a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.” Where to from here?

Gershom Gorenberg vs. StandWithUs pocket facts
May 9, 2012 - News & Politics - 0
Gershom Gorenberg on StandWithUs: “The answer to slogans shouldn’t be slogans [...] Any account of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that fits in a shirt pocket isn’t worth having.” This is where hasbara becomes deficient and is undermining the ability of Jewish students to learn about their identities, and Israel.

Vice President Biden endorses same-sex marriage
May 8, 2012 - News & Politics - 1
“I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men marrying women are entitled to the same exact rights. All the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly I don’t see much of a distinction beyond that.”

River-to-the-sea, apartheid Israel: the new Republican peace plan?
May 5, 2012 - News & Politics - 1
Unilateral population transfers is ethnic cleansing and Arab-Israelis without voting rights is apartheid. This out-hawks even the most hawkish of Diaspora Zionists. Will this be Mitt Romney’s peace plan if he’s elected president later this year?

Jews just as likely to vote for Obama as they were in 2008
April 5, 2012 - News & Politics - 0
Jewish support for Obama remains unchanged since the last election, when he ultimately won 80% of the Jewish vote. So much for the most anti-Israel president in history…

When Olmert met J Street
March 29, 2012 - News & Politics - 0
Last night’s J Street gala dinner was a controversial one: Should Ehud Olmert have spoken? Should the crowd have booed the (very rude) speech by Israel’s deputy ambassador? All this and more in my final night dispatch from J Street’s 2012 conference.

J Street’s 2012 Conference – “Making History”
March 26, 2012 - News & Politics - 1
Last night’s J Street conference opening was incredible — 2500 people (inc. 650 students) listening to social justice activist Stav Shaffir, Yerucham Mayor Michael Biton, and writer Amos Oz. The videos should be up soon, so if you can, I’d watch the keynotes from last night.

Some Brooklyn co-op members are pushing for their store to take up the BDS call, causing a division in the community. Most people, however, don’t care, and just wants a nice place to shop.
