The anti-Israel camp is motivated by a fundamentalist religion grounded in Jew hatred. For years, they have lied and claimed its about the one Jewish state. They are trying to create a land that is Judenrein.

As Iran responds to Israel’s attacks, the NIF community around the world is feeling deeply anxious and concerned for our colleagues, friends and family in Israel, Jewish and Palestinian. For innocents in Iran and throughout the region. We pray that the voices of peace and reconciliation will prevail.

I am surprised that so many Jews do not see through the sinister game being played that will marginalize Jews and deepen the rift between us and other ethnic groups. To oppose DEI and supposedly oppose antisemitism is the oldest trick in the book, meant to turn others against Jews and distract from the true enemy. Using antisemitism as a cudgel puts us in the historically familiar position of the court Jew, the tax collector, the money lender...all the roles we have been forced into in order for us to run interference for the tyrannical regime. It is the old scapegoat role. Anger is directed at Jews and not at the ones responsible for the tyranny. And the tyrants join ranks with the angry citizens to gang up on the Jews.
We know how that can end.

A must read before Bibi's address to Congress.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will come to America armed with familiar tactics: casting himself as a victim of unjust persecution, portraying his critics as enemies, and labeling Israel’s detractors as antisemites.

"What gets you to the top vanishes once you get there..."

Really enjoyed this conversation with Craig Mattson, about the Power Paradox, leading through uncertainty, and the strange reason why I started rock climbing.

The Mode/Switch With Craig Mattson

Getting to the top of the chain of command’s a pain in the arse. Especially if it’s a pyramid. Very not comfy, right? So pointy. This week’s podcast engages Elan Babchuck on how chains of command destabilize our workplaces. The appeal’s understandable, but the delusion’s deep. You’ve see...

My Purim Torah...but not for the faint hearted.
