I need fucking Medhi Hassan to explain Israel and Judaism? Fuck him. Is he Muslimsplaining? Medhi why don’t you explain the beheading of Daniel Pearl? Start there before you get to my religion and my people.
Love the gentilesplaining of who and what Jews are and how we are or are not related to Israel. Neither of these mavens that you cited have bothered to actually ask Jews. Mehdi Hasan for certain though is an antisemite.
At work someone did the ‘don’t conflate…’ line and I objected to their misinformation about what is and isn’t antisemitism. Long story short, I’m not in that job anymore and I’m bringing a case of constructive dismissal.

Thanks. This is what I think I was saying in my contribution to a piece in Ha’aretz on Monday https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024-04-21/ty-article-opinion/.premium/the-israel-gaza-war-will-make-this-passover-seder-different-from-all-the-others/0000018e-ffde-d64a-a9ae-ffff07e10000
I will definitely be ordering the updated paperback.
Thanks!

Well said. And, "the Hamas attack on Israel that day felt, for many Jews, like an attack on all of us."
It *was* an attack on all of us.
Brillantly written.
Love this.
