Distressing, but it will fade and things will go back to normal.
Let's get that MOU passed, a good idea regardless. Antisemitism is experiencing a surge not seen since the Charles Lindbergh/Henry Ford/Walt Disney era and that passed, too.
| A palpable point, Jairong. Mr. Blumenthal is the Israel-hating son of Israel-hating Hillary Clinton buddy Sidney Blumenthal, a favourite reporter for Russia Today, with Media Matters, AlterNet, and Al Jazeera on his resumé. I have to wonder how much the statistics will change when the international propagandists are no longer flooding social media posing as Reeeel Amurricuns who naturally hate the perfidious Joooooos. Lets make a point of about looking into it about quarterly for the next year. |
Sympathy for Israel among registered US voters has cratered, and it's never coming back
Most Republicans under 29 favor Palestine over Israel, and the number surges among those who identify as "America First"
That's why Israel is demanding a 20 year MOU to lock in military aid

| The poll. Mr. Blumenthal is exercised about an article published by Axios a few weeks ago — we had a story about it here, providing more perspective than the surface gloss Mr. Blumenthal prefers to respond to. |
Or maybe opinions will change when pro-Israel opinions are not blocked out of the public square in whole sections of the culture.
Jewish book subscription program pushes back against publishing industry antisemitism[IsraelTimes] Marking the centennial of one of the Jewish Book Council’s foundational programs, ‘Nu Reads’ delivers books bimonthly with aim to boost writers and send a message to publishers.
Last year, a list circulated online targeting “Zionist” authors for a boycott. Dozens of blacklisted writers, nearly all Jews, had been condemned for infractions as slight as expressing concern for Jewish friends after the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion of Israel.
The blacklist titled “Is your fav author a Zionist?”
apparently by someone named Amina Hossain. A screenshot of the thing can be seen at the link…
came amid a series of other incidents against Jewish authors, some before the start of the war, that together marked a turning point for antisemitism in the publishing industry, said Naomi Firestone-Teeter, the CEO of Jewish Book Council, a New York-based group that supports Jewish literature.“It was one thing after another. And it was like, ‘Okay, this is bad. This is different. This is different this time,'” Firestone-Teeter said.
The council has launched a series of initiatives to push back against that surge in antisemitism. Its latest, a program called Nu Reads that started in October, aims to bolster Jewish writers, send a message to the publishing industry that Jewish books are valued, and create a community around their work.
Subscribers to Nu Reads pay $154 per year to receive a book by a Jewish writer every other month, and the program has amassed around 500 subscribers. Alongside the books, subscribers will receive a letter from the author, discussion prompts, and extras such as bookmarks and behind-the-scenes content about the writing.
