    Twitter makes possible so many amazing things we couldn't do before. Like trolling the Nazis:

    People keep asking "why isn't Jacob Wohl in jail?" as if the answer isn't obvious: even the prisons don't want him.

    Excusing or minimizing anti-Semitism on your side b/c the other side is worse just enables it to fester on your side until it gets worse. Dismissing anti-Semitism b/c it's not violent or "systemic" is how it ultimately becomes violent & systemic. Fight it where you are, always.

    This is what accountability in the face of anti-Semitism looks like, and the NYT deserves praise for setting the right example at an important moment. It's very rare to see action like this without foot-dragging. More of this, from right to left, please.

    I aspire to be as good at just one thing as Jacob Wohl is at being a terrible human being.

    I discovered over Passover that the fish brand "Season" is actually distributed by MANISCHEWITZ(?!), and now I'm beginning to think the Jewish conspiracy might be real after all.

    I totally hear the critique that Biden has problems with the party's progressive flank, but that's very different than suggesting he's some sort of paper tiger who is simply coasting on name recognition without serious Democratic base support.

    Don't quite get the Biden-Jeb Bush comparison, which seems mostly superficial. Biden is known for serving 8 years under the most popular living Democratic president. Jeb didn't even have a national brand beyond his last name, which was associated with an unpopular Republican one.

    This piece from Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, the rabbi of Chabad of Poway whose finger was blown off by the San Diego shooter, is just heartbreaking. Read it all.

    This rabbi survived the Nazi experiments at Auschwitz, came to Israel, reunited with his wife, rebuilt his Hasidic sect, and lived to the age of 96. May his memory be a blessing.

    All ultra-Orthodox rabbis without exception have beards. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Taub did not, because Dr Mengele experimented on him in Auschwitz, leaving him unable to grow facial hair.

    New statement from family of Calif. synagogue shooter: “our sadness pales in comparison to the grief & anguish our son has caused for so many innocent people. ... To our great shame, he is now part of the history of evil that has been perpetrated on Jewish people for centuries.”

    If we focused more on fighting anti-Semitism, and less on fighting over the particular partisan and ideological affiliations of anti-Semites, there'd be a lot less anti-Semitism.

    There is no left wing antisemitism and there is no right wing antisemitism. There is only antisemitism and those seeking to use it to organize power. Antisemitism doesn’t come to town, it merely taps into the antisemitism that already exists

    Pretty much every time I report a story about anti-Semitism, from America to Europe, I get responses from anti-Semites who immediately deflect to Israel--which was never mentioned and has nothing to do with the story--to justify the attacks on Jews outside Israel. Every time.

    A fun thing to do is tweeting about anti-Semitism and then walking away for a few hours and coming back to questions about whether you think it’s ok to criticize the Israeli government. What a broken society.

    Noya Dahan, age 8, was injured in the Poway synagogue shooting. Her family moved to the US from Israel to escape rockets from terrorists in Gaza, some of which hit their Sderot home. An 8-yr-old girl targeted on 2 continents for the crime of being Jewish.

    I should just make this my Twitter bio

    Replying to @normalozperson @PeterBeinart and 2 others
    Literally nothing you wrote in your tweet appears even remotely in mine. You may enjoy attributing idiotic sentiments to people that they never expressed, but life is short, so forgive me if I leave you to debate yourself alone. Take care.
