“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)

“Over the decades, many citizens have benefited from reparations; Japanese Americans who were imprisoned during World War II, Native American and African American farmers who were discriminated against when the federal government refused them access to credit, loans, land assistance programs and disaster relief. Locally, Santa Monica paid thousands of dollars to the family of a Black man whose land was seized. In Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County returned land known as Bruce’s Beach to descendants of a Black couple who had been run off their property in 1924. Other countries have also used reparations to atone for great wrongs. The German government has paid Holocaust survivors. …

“If there is one thing that American citizens remember from their 12 long years in public (i.e., government) schools, it’s the Pledge of Allegiance. That’s because they recited or heard it recited every single morning before the start of classes. The Pledge is such an ingrained part of American society that oftentimes adults at public events proudly stand, place their right hand on their heart, and recite the Pledge. … Why should anyone be forced or expected to pledge allegiance to anything? Why shouldn’t everyone simply be free to live his life the way he wants?” (05/22/26)
