The Palestinian genocide is providing a moment of reckoning for the Jewish community. Schumer’s defection, combined with the groundswell of opposition to aid to Israel among Democrats and the obvious influence of anti-Zionists, represents a crisis for the traditional lobby.
The Schumerites say they represent the silent majority of American Jews. But silence is not a political force; and in fact, the Schumerites are being driven by the left. Young Jews who openly oppose apartheid and genocide have taken over the moral leadership of the Jewish community. Every day I go to IfNotNow <https://twitter.com/IfNotNowOrg>to see inspiring actions by young Jews. Like this disruption of a Hakeem Jeffries appearance this week in which demonstrators said that AIPAC contributions are fostering the genocide. *An interfaith coalition disrupted Minority Leader @RepJeffries <https://twitter.com/RepJeffries> during his fundraiser for @RepMcGovern <https://twitter.com/RepMcGovern> in Worcester, MA — calling him out for taking over $300K from AIPAC.* https://mondoweiss.net/2024/03/the-israel-lobby-is-fractured-and-so-at-last-is-the-jewish-community/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
