Omg! ChayaLeah! I started noticing “the shift to 48” thing on the American Left but I didn't have the language for it! I was just like, they really do mean “from the river to the sea.” I’m still on 67!
This was such a great, wide-ranging conversation. Yirmiyahu makes me want to be a better person! What a thoughtful guy.
I find it so depressing but my most generous take is that there are so many settlements now that going back to 1967 is impossible. I am not really sure.
What I’m seeing is that young, progressive Americans have less understanding of the history and are picking up on the ideology of CRT/BLM. They see Israel in “settler colonialism” terms and there’s no other conclusion to them other than Jewish Israelis, wherever they are, are occupiers. As a GenXer, it was about the West Bank and Gaza and getting back to pre-67 borders. With this new generation, it’s literally about doing away with Israel and going back to pre-48. It’s a grafting of US politics onto the Middle East.
The issue of Ethiopian aliyah is more complicated than described and even the Ethiopian community in Israel is not in agreement about what policy should be 🤔
Really enjoyed this guest!

I'm realizing that all this time I've been matching your faces to the wrong voice and now its breaking my brain (such as it is)
We really need to change that logo..
