“As a religious Jew, I refuse to stay silent while political actors fuse my beautiful religion and an ancient people to the actions of a modern nation-state and its lobbying apparatus. Judaism is not synonymous with militarism, censorship, collective punishment, or blind loyalty to any government. Many Jews are horrified by the devastation in Gaza, alarmed by the suppression of dissent, and concerned about the growing perception that American politics is being shaped by interests that appear increasingly disconnected from the American public itself. … If Jewish Americans truly care about our long-term future in this country, then now is the time to speak honestly, reject tribalism and authoritarianism, and stop allowing criticism of a government to be conflated with hatred of a people.” (05/22/26)
