Fed up with myths, these American Jews are challenging their Israel education
They grew up on the myths of a heroic Jewish state, joined Zionist organizations, and learned the talking points. But something along the way made them question everything. By Tom Pessah Some of the strangest encounters I had in the years I spent living and studying in the United States were with American Jews. I often felt…

NYC subway ad: When ‘pro-Israel’ rears its ugly head
Some of you may have noticed the drama surrounding an ad that first appeared last month in several New York City subway stations that looks like this: Sponsored by the fanatic, Islamophobic, hate-mongering American Freedom Defense Initiative headed by Pamela Geller, the ads were initially rejected for being incendiary. But the AFDI sued on First Amendement…

Is an attack on Israel an attack on individual Jewish identity?
A report by a University of California advisory council threatens to limit free speech on its campuses by determining that dissent of Israel can amount to an attack on one’s personal identification with the state. By Tom Pessah In February of this year three members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot were jailed after…

WATCH: Campaign video incites against Arab Americans
The campaign to get American citizens in Israel to vote in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections claims it is nonpartisan, despite its candid agenda of electing the most ‘pro-Israel’ president, its refusal to divulge its donors and a campaign manager clearly identified with the right. A newly released video inciting against Arab-Americans makes it even more…

Jerusalem Post op-ed calls New Yorker editor ‘anti-Israel’
By publishing an op-ed whose sole purpose is to demonize the editor of The New Yorker, the Jerusalem Post is positioning itself in direct odds with liberal values – not to mention journalistic integrity. The Jerusalem Post ran an op-ed yesterday (Monday) by a writer and attorney from Washington, D.C. explaining why he is canceling…

When it comes to Israel, the political is personal: Review of ‘Crisis of Zionism’
The author of a new book describing a crisis in Zionism may not be telling us anything we didn’t already know – but in tracing his own personal journey of his anguished relationship to Israel, Peter Beinart has touched a nerve no one in the American Jewish community can ignore. At a recent lecture in…

Israel being used in NYC subway ad war
On Tuesday, New York City’s MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) explained its September 2011 decision to reject an ad created by the American Freedom Defense Initiative on the grounds that it is “demeaning.” It did so during a hearing to address a law suit filed by the anti-Islamic group, which claimed the MTA decision was limiting…

J Street and Zion Square engage ‘Pro-Israel’ question
I write a lot about the term “pro-Israel,” since it is a highly-charged and problematic term used often with impunity. Regardless of what I think it means, it is clear that it is a subjective term that is often attempted to be passed off as an objective one. Even just saying that a working definition of…

On AIPAC, Obama and the ‘pro-Israel’ lie
All over the news last week, the term “pro-Israel” was ringing in my proverbial ears. The “pro-Israel” lobby had its “pro-Israel” conference, which was attended by “pro-Israel” congressmen and hosted speeches by several “pro-Israel” Republican presidential candidates – and of course President Obama himself, who defended his “pro-Israel” presidency. There were reportedly 13,000 people at…

‘Israel-firster’ in context: A response to rightist ‘pro-Israel’ rhetoric
I wrote a piece in Haaretz yesterday entitled “The downside of unbridled support for Israel” (see below) disputing the claims that “Israel firster” is an antisemitic term, to which journalist Eli Lake commented in a tweet that it “has nothing to do with Israelis. They should stay out of it.” Well, first of all, I am…

Obama’s campaign video is ‘Israel firster’ material
As part of its bid to counter Republican attacks on its “pro-Israel” record, the Obama Administration has publicized its first campaign video directly addressing its treatment of Israel entitled: “America and Israel: An Unbreakable Bond.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izUkZpTft2w[/youtube] The fact that the Obama Administration feels it must recruit the Prime Minister, Defense Minister and Israeli Ambassador —…
