If you’re inclined to re-edit this otherwise excellent piece, there are two instances where you repeat a line:
“throwing in with a president and political movement that seek to destroy the democratic pillars and educational institutions that have helped to make Jews secure and successful in the United States and are shot through with neo-Nazis.”
And:
“nearly 23 percent of its undergraduates—and is located in the city where the 12 percent of citizens who identify as Jewish make it second only to Tel Aviv as the largest Jewish city in the world.”
Thank you for writing this. Coming from, & still having family & friends in the NY tri-state area I encountered an unwillingness to even discuss the issue.
The civil war started when the token Jews of the Free Palestine cult eagerly backed the Palestinian goal of the destruction of Israel, and a genocide and ethnic cleansing for 7.7 million Jews. Don’t reverse cause and effect. Progressive Jews are going against the biggest community of Jews in the world during a genocidal war launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its many Islamist proxies.
We all know the real civil war is in the Democrat party, and Jewish progressives are desperate to keep American Jews on the plantation. Fighting antisemitism only creates more antisemitism dontcha know?
Thank you for a comprehensive review of a Stacey curbing situation. It is a terrific and necessary article. I would only add the following. It has been noted that the white population of America is now experiencing the same fear and anxiety about summary arrest and incarceration, voter suppression and wrongful employment termination that the black population has experienced for generations. Jews are experiencing that with an added twist. Blacks have often been divided by those in power into “good Negroes” (Booker T. Washington and Sammy Davis Jr.) and “bad Negroes” (W.E.B. Du Bois and Muhammad Ali). Jews today are getting the same treatment with the Administration identifying “good Jews” (the Adelsons) and “bad Jews” (Chuck Schumer and Doug Emhoff). Acquiescence in this self serving strategy by the present regime will not end well.
You begin this essay with a lie. We all know or should know that in no way did Hamas 'murder' 1200 Israelis. They fought with and killed a bit less than 400 IDF soldiers, and it is likely they fought with and killed 'armed settlers', but the majority of Israeli deaths were meted out by the IDF with the Hannibal Directive. The destroyed cars tell the story as Hamas lacks the kind of firepower to do that. Also, testimony from tank crews tells us that crews were ordered to fire on buildings known to harbor civilians as well as Palestinian fighters. When you begin with a lie, your entire proposition is invalidated.
I’m forwarding to all my friends.

The war between Jews is sadly underway in Brooklyn’s District 39. https://open.substack.com/pub/robinepstein/p/why-we-must-re-elect-shahana-hanif?r=9t54v&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Interesting read. Thank you.
This article is blindsided by the last few days of Trump turning on Bibi and pushing him out with both hands.
Alterman should have seen that and not pushed his article on us.
Write a new article, Eric.
Thank you for the comprehensive piece.
Did you interview any of the more conservative Jewish organizational/media leaders?
I worked for conservative Jewish Trump Supporters, they came into my office all day to gloat when Trump won.
It was difficult because I liked many of them, but respect? Not even close
