American Jews are against Netanyahu.

Netanyahu, shame, shame! You don't act in the Jewish name."

Anti-Zionist Jews chanting outside the White House on while the war criminal is scheduled to meet President Trump.

“Netanyahu is NO Jewish Leader. Israel falsolu claims to represent our religion. We must separate ourselves from Israel's claim of being a Jewish State!”

Israel is not a Jewish state.

Netanyahu is not Jewish.

"#BretStephens, in his “State of World #Jewry” address at the 92nd Street Y on Feb. 1, was right about something fundamental: #Jewish strength begins with #Jewishidentity. A people that does not know who it is cannot endure. Identity anchors continuity, belonging and resilience, and strengthening Jewish knowledge, pride and peoplehood is indispensable work.

But where his argument becomes incomplete is in treating internal fortification as a sufficient response to modern #antisemitism. It is not. #Jewishcontinuity depends not only on internal strength, but also on how #Jews are perceived in the societies in which they live. Ignoring that second dimension is not principled restraint — it is strategic exposure.

The consequences are not abstract. When moral legitimacy erodes, the effects surface in daily life and geopolitical reality."

"At a moment of profound uncertainty and change, what does it mean to be #Jewish today? #Moment #Columnist #ShmuelRosner, a Senior Fellow at The #JewishPeoplePolicyInstitute and #author of the #book Why Am I a #Jew?: A Contemporary Guide for the Perplexed, explores how #Jewishidentity has evolved in the 21st century. #Rosner discusses how #Jews, faced with a new existential situation, are reshaping their image while advancing toward an unknown Jewish future. In conversation with Moment Opinion and #Books #Editor #AmyESchwartz."

"What was once a community of just five families seeking a #Jewish life in #Bulgaria has grown to some 200 families today, #MaximDelchev, executive director of the Organization of the #Jews in Bulgaria, #Shalom, told #JNS at the #YaelFoundation’s fourth annual summit on Tuesday.

“We don’t believe our future lies in building museums and only preserving history. We want to stay in Bulgaria, stay in #Europe and continue to exist,” Delchev told JNS. “If that means having our own guards, more people volunteering to help secure the community and at the same time more people in #synagogue, more people debating what it means to be Jewish, and more people discussing their grandmothers’ recipes, I’m fine with that.”

This year’s summit focuses on innovation, leadership, #Jewishidentity and the challenges of modern #education."

"On the night of the full moon of the #Hebrew month of #Shevat, we mark #TuBishvat, a minor festival on the #Jewish calendar yet one that carries a Jewish story no less profound than that of far greater #holidays.

Tu Bishvat expresses the deep bond between human beings and the land, between spirit and matter, between past and future. It reminds us that #Jewishidentity has never been detached from the earth, from the landscape, or from our responsibility for the world in which we live.

The origins of Tu Bishvat are modest and practical: a tax day for trees, a technical and economic marker in the #agricultural calendar designed to regulate the tithes taken from #fruit-bearing #trees.

Yet even here, a larger idea is already present: The human being is not the owner of nature but rather a partner – responsible, accountable, and committed to community, peoplehood, and land."

'Pay up or I'll expose you': Chef goes after brand for alleged antisemitism

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/01/13/jewish-chef-tova-sterling-brand-antisemitism-ultimatum/

https://shj.org/why-all-liberal-minded-jews-should-adopt-the-shjs-definition-of-who-is-a-jew/

I'm going to write an response to this piece soon by Adam King Skrzynski(but not in disagreement, but rather in whole-hearted affirmation) because it is really, really important.

I strongly recommend all Jews, but especially those in progressive/liberal movements to consider this and to recognize the power that can come from opening the doors to Jewish identity wider, rather than trying to keep folks out.

Excerpt: While the current times have been horrifying and dispiriting, another narrative also exists, one in which the American Jewish community is more imbedded and accepted in American life as never before. How else do we explain the increasing interest reported nationwide in those seeking to become Jewish? More non-Jewish people live with Jews, work with Jews, think about Jews, and do Jewish things that at any time in American Jewish history.

. . . As a result, I believe that our response to these changing times is one in which we look to capture the present positive undercurrent of momentum, as well as look to ensuring Jewish survival well into the future in the face of rising antisemitism. In my view, we do this by expanding the tent. We make it easier to welcome people into the Jewish community, ask them to participate with us in our celebrations, and allow for a definition of Jewish identity more in line with the facts on the ground, how people are actually living. I suggest that other like-minded Jews learn about and accept the Society for Humanistic Judaism’s definition of Jewish identity, declared by the Second Biennial Conference of the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews, in Brussels, in October 1988.

This definition has roots and parallels in Jewish history, especially secular Jewish history, and states the following:

“We, therefore, affirm that a Jew is a person of Jewish descent or any person who declares himself or herself to be a Jew and who identifies with the history, ethical values, culture, civilization, community, and fate of the Jewish people.”

Knowing what the fate of the Jewish people has been, this is no small declaration to make, and anyone acting out of sincerity and with full knowledge of the consequences of this identification, should surely be welcomed among us. "
