I get fan mail. If you think you're somehow advocating for Palestinians, or peace, or justice, or anything worthwhile by sending incoherent messages like this and referring to people as "kikes," you're an idiot.

Some of my colleagues at the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University are conducting a series of surveys to understand how American Jews are reacting to the Israel-Hamas war. This is not an invitation to participate, but rather to confirm that the study is legitimate.

This post in the bad place by Tom Cotton is stupid on multiple levels. It's like bragging that you don't know anything about the region beyond what confirms your own prejudices, and you don't particularly care.

It turned into the image below. After I gave her statistics from Pew and several community studies confirming what I was saying, the reporter went out and found alternative minyans for Yom Kippur. Not like my minyan, but if this is what people need to observe Yom Kippur, I'm glad they have it.
