One of my last memories of life in the Soviet Union was waiting in line to buy chicken (there was a line for everything). I remember hearing people grumble how there was a poultry shortage because the “Jews ate all the chickens”. This is no different www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

As an American Jew, born and raised in Soviet Ukraine, I have a personal connection to today’s hot button issues. I am using this platform to share my perspective.

Jewish groups are raising concerns about the American Studies Association’s annual meeting, which includes sessions titled “Zionism Is Racism: Introducing the Critical Zionism Studies Syllabus” and “Dezionizing the U.S. University.” Haley Cohen reports: ji.news/5pqai
Don’t attack the messenger. Listen to the message. Universities have a Jew problem. www.thefp.com/p/i-wrote-ab...

Pay attention- this is very important. Ukraine helps expose flaws in our system where a single person has life-and-death power over millions. It is also creating a record to bring those responsible for war crimes to justice. www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

www.afterbabel.com/p/thank-you-... Thank you Jon Haidt for featuring my essay about social media and eating disorders. Now that we have a better understanding of how social media harms mental health, esp of teens, we need to do a better job protecting them from genAI harms.

After the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" vote, the Leader of Haringey Council, controlled by the Greens, wrote to some Synagogues in the borough to "reassure" them. I want to show you Highgate Synagogue's reply. I believe it is worth reading in its entirety. www.jewishnews.co.uk/synagogue-re...

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...
Yet another example of how everything - including history - becomes distorted in service of Jew hate.
The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

This is what an attack on science looks like. www.threads.com/share/BAChPx...
Do not forget Ukraine! Every day, Russian terrorists attack civilian targets with ballistic missiles and drone bombs. Yesterday, it was the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Unbelievable www.threads.com/share/BAChPx...
Some accountability at least www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/u...
An actor speaks out against genocide (in Sudan) and gets accused of supporting genocide (in Gaza). Computer scientists, we created a monster. I can’t imagine this happening pre-social media. www.threads.com/share/_658Cr...

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Finally, an easy to understand explainer about the ever-so-volatile slogan
Do we all agree on what he slogan Free Palestine” means? I took screenshots of an illustrated post by Jordyn Tilchen on Instagram explaining how it was designed to be vague & sow chaos by not having a 100% clear definition.

Here we have a leader of Hamas admitting that as the IDF has done all throughout this conflict. They gave advance warning of each and every strike. It cannot be ignored no child or any civilian for that matter had to die. They used them as shields during the attacks.
IDF killing 20,000 children cannot be ignored.

We are finally seeing academic studies of the pro-Hamas bias in the MSM reporting on the Israel-Gaza war. Here is the measurement of framing bias by the NYTimes. Framing matters. And bias destroys lives. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
