Important article from Yehudit Karp on Zionism and political identity: "A Zionism that validates actions that contradict the values on which the state was founded cannot be a basis for a shared civic ethos, including among Jews." https://tinyurl.com/vdn2cksw

Opinion | The time has come to move beyond Zionism and become Israelis

It is impossible to build a shared future on an idea with which a large proportion of the country's citizens cannot identify

@hadarsusskind.bsky.social said: "The House was wrong to pass the NDAA today. It deepens financial support for the Iran war that Americans want to see end. It’s particularly galling that they passed it in the same week as four American servicemembers were killed.

The House chose today to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – a bill that moves US policy in exactly the wrong direction. Read our full statement: newjewishnarrative.org/statements/n...

The Latest ICE Surge Is Political Violence - Colorlines

Every raid has two targets: the person seized and the wider public taught to fear what comes next.

104 Members of the House of Representatives just voted to end all aid to Israel. The level of support for this amendment reflects a sea change in how Americans view the actions of the Israeli government. That, not antisemitism, and not anything else, is why this happened.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations – but the same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. Join the #GoodTrouble Weekend of Action, July 17-19: goodtroubleliveson.org/

a short 🧵 In a way it's almost sad to watch people (right and left) freak out about the vote on the Massie amendment. US taxpayer aid to Israel (in its current form) is not going to continue. This is like voting today to say whether or not you support prohibition.

We're horrified by the murder of Joan Sebastian Guerrero by an armed ICE agent. This is the 2nd such death this week, after that of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and the 9th since Trump's immigration crackdown. ICE's violence is a pattern that needs to be stopped. tinyurl.com/pbsnewshouriceshootingmaine
