From the blogs
After the protests and statements of solidarity, what’s next?
By
Stefanie Rhodes
and
Ruth Messinger
As a mother and grandmother of Jews of Color, we, like all whites, still need to confront our implicit biases and the benefits of white privilege
Yossi Klein Halevi
A plea to Gantz, Ashkenazi: Israel and its friends need you to block annexation
Such a step, in any form, will undermine Israel’s commitment to negotiate over disputed territory and betray defenders of Zionism throughout the world
Jessica Montell
The High Court will not end the occupation, and yet…
Boycotting the Court because it props up Israeli policy (and yes, it does) will deny every individual Palestinian a chance for justice
Alon Tal
Israeli media’s smearing of a devoted public servant
Claims health ministry official Prof. Itamar Grotto improperly granted a billionaire a quarantine waiver were entirely unfounded
Good marketing can save lives. Get on it, Ministry of Health
By
Daniella Levy
Israel can still stop this second COVID wave, but those masks need better PR
Ed Stelzer
Okay Corona, we will just bring graduation home
I couldn’t let my son depart elementary school with no more than a ’Leave Meeting’ click — so I helped produce a send-off for 86 8th graders that none of us will ever forget
Sherry Zimmerman
Homebound and stir-crazy
I thought I’d at least be doing my own food-shopping by now, but with so many people opting out of masks with impunity, and infections on the rise, I’m aging in place instead
Eve Young
By keeping women from combat roles, Israel is crippling its leadership
A male-centric military pipeline to leadership has dire consequences, and Exhibit A is the absurd makeup of the Corona crisis task force
Jason Rubenstein
First – listen. Then – entertain heresy
White Americans must learn what Black Americans have always known, that America is not only the promised land, it is also Egypt
Jodi Samuels
Here’s how we eradicate racism
Invite the ’other’ into your home, and you will break down stereotypes and come to live united – just ask my Jamaican friend Susie about her Orthodox Jewish bridesmaid
It’s umbrella season again, somehow
By
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
Anyone who knew David knows that especially now in this time of uncertainty, he would be a reassuring voice inside the maw of our own abject terror
Top Ops
Ruthi Soudack
The big, small, sea-less world
How easily the coronavirus made all of my stomping grounds, from my village to my city and the country and the world, fade from my awareness
Nili Bresler
The breakfast club: Isolation version
Chatting when it’s early in Maine and Israeli tea-time, if all else fails, we annoy Alexa: ’Tell us about Yom Kippur.’ ’Here is a recipe for kippers.’ We laugh: NO, NOT HELPFUL!
Susan Levin
Life inside the mask
My disabled husband is exempt from the coronavirus regulation that requires masks, but I’ve come to realize that he’s cloaked behind one all the time anyway
Nicholas Jagdeo
Statues and heroes
The anger of the masses being mistreated burns hot, but it also burns quickly, and pulling down statues does little, when there are more important things at hand
Mark Gardner
‘Hate fuel’ firing up online antisemites is too incendiary to publish
Yes, there are videos on the web of Jews being murdered. Failing to eliminate these and other horrific content is a green light for more Nazi terrorism
Henry Greenspan
From knowing to acting on racism
The problem is not one of perception, but of doing something to right the wrongs that you can’t help but perceive
