I agree with you on all this. And with the rabbi on nearly all this. We do follow rabbinic Judaism, if we follow anything of our Jewish beliefs and traditions. And these times could scarcely be more challenging, despite our sense of belonging. Lunatics abound, the Dude abides.
Yet for me, the story that hits and keeps hitting and won’t go away is how when Moses was away the Hebrews crafted a golden calf. That rings more true than a lot of the tale.
And here we are again, gathering together and trying to make sense of it all and to find ways we can bring the slavemasters to task.
I do know that, but I read in this article that Jews strive to make the world a better place without touching on the subject. I live in the NY metropolitan area & don’t see or hear very much pushback. Most are trying to ignore the subject entirely while the trump administration tries to silence (& deport) protesters.
Paul and his sister did an excellent podcast episode about the harassment and violence against Palestinians on the West Bank (The Cross Section “Don’t ignore what’s happening on the West Bank” 4/9/2024) that should be heard by far more people. It’s a story most of the American media has chosen to bury.

Jewish Americans are not responsible for the actions of the government of Israel. That’s how :)
How can Jews say they are working to make the world better while countenancing bombing Palestinians indiscriminately?
Not all Jews are Zionists, and many have been part of protests against the ongoing genocide.
