Good discussion on @jewishcurrents.bsky.social about the Israel Day Parade, how Smotrich's visit was a welcome distraction from the rest of the fascist rogue's gallery marching and how this parade forecloses any meaningful celebration of Jewish culture in lieu of Israel propaganda.
‚ELLIOT COSGROVE, the Manhattan rabbi who said that Zohran Mamdani “poses a danger to the security of New York Jewish community,” dedicated his sermon this past Saturday to threatening New York elected officials who didn’t plan to march in the next day’s pro-Israel parade on Fifth Avenue.‘
An important piece by Jon Danforth-Appell in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social (now out from beyhind the paywall) challenging the models of trauma that have been taken up in some accounts of attachments to Zionism jewishcurrents.org/does-the-jew...
