I would like to enter your tent, despite being a secular, pacifist lapsed Jew who has never attended a protest. 'Blood is thicker than water', as my late Jewish mother would say. I cannot give up on Israel.
yes to this. Our tent is huge and loving and crazy and holds space for a lot of argument but if you’re out here caping for the lives of our enemies before the children of your own people you can stand outside in the rain, please and thank you. Let them break off and call themselves ‘social Judaism’ or some nonsense and they will hold the same status as Jews for Jesus or ‘Messianic Jews: not Jews. Apikorsim.
Thank you for this. (And thank you for amplifying Yossi Klein Halevi's comment about P.B., which I also found notable in that episode of "Call Me Back.")
Love you two. Feeling blessed to share the tent with you and our beautiful community.
This is really beautifully, vulnerably written. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
This made me cry. Thank you both (and your guests, and my fellow AAJ listeners). ❤️
Speaking the truth in a sea of virtue signaling sociopaths.
Kol ha kavod for this - really well done piece!
❤️❤️❤️
Well said. This Christian is in your tent, I hope you'll have me! Bless you both. ❤️
Thanks for letting this non Jew in the tent. Love you both.
Beautiful, strong, wise, funny. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you. I'm in Seattle and it feels like there's no tent here. I'm glad that SOMEWHERE, there are defenders of Jews.
Thanks for this. It’s nice to have a place where I don’t feel gaslit.
What everyone else said- thank you for this. Happy and honored to be in your tent.
You are blessed and I feel a great gratitude whenever I listen to the podcast or read this substack.
