Jeremy, you giving a platform to Anzi progressives is the exact same thing as Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes. Your claim that Anzis are part of the progressive movement, and therefore valid, is no different than Qatarlson claiming Anzis are part of the conservative movement and should be heard and respected.
Antizionists are a hate movement with a paranoid obsession with Israel and Zionists (most Jews in the world). When you spew lies about AIPAC you’re pushing the same Anzi/Nazi trope of “Jews control the world”.
Ben Shapiro had the spine to call Qatarlson out, and yet you continue to platform Beinart, Rhodes and now this fool. Shame on J-Street and shame on you.
Odd how he is so concerned about war crimes in Gaza, but not one word about Russian war crimes in Ukraine. To the contrary, on his Up In Arms site he aligns with America First and MAGA by decrying “forever wars.” The Kremlin loves this kind of rhetoric, it makes expanding their empire so much easier.
Senator Chris Van Hollen criticized the *Biden* administration for sending Ukraine too little and too late, and he was right. He would send the aid that Ukraine needs to win if the country can hold out against Putin until he is elected. The best thing you can do for Ukraine, as well as for Israel, is to support President Van Hollen in '28!
Jeremy, can I please ask why you keep platforming these antizionist losers? They have literally nothing productive to add to the discussion on the ME. I’ll listen to Jerry’s opinions on ice cream flavors and his contributions to the overuse of Ozempic in this country. Not military strategy.
People who actually become antisemitic because of what the government of Israel is doing ought to see this and know what Jewish values really are. And while you are standing up for those values in the United States, it is especially important to stand against what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank, not only because they are worse than what is happening in the US (EVEN worse!) but because that is what is causing antisemitism worldwide, and people should see how you are fighting and how those terrible things - the genocide, and apartheid, the settler attacks, the horrible things happening in prisons - are totally opposed to Jewish values.
The "only" group? Ask the International Court of Criminal Justice. And settlers who have no right to be there attack Palestinians who are only trying to harvest their olives. They also attack Israelis who are trying to protect the Palestinians. Those settlers are the true terrorists, and the good people in this video - which I watched and listened to every word - are doing their best to put a stop to it, and they are right.
Anyone who is antisemitic, even in their inclinations, should watch this video and see what courage and determination look like. Unless they were utterly locked into their opinion, this video alone would be enough to change their mind.
Jeremy and Ben, you are two of the finest and wisest people I have ever met even in a video. The people who support genocide seem to have found J Street and are attacking it. I will do whatever I can in your defense, including writing FACTS in these comments and giving the small donations I can afford.
On a positive note, I received an email today (and donated) from none other than Senator Chris Van Hollen! He is a member of J Street now, as I see. I hope J Street will support him to the hilt as the next President of the United States. He or Senator Chris Murphy are the best choices for the Democratic Party in 2028. They are great humanitarians, are young enough to win and serve (unlike Sen. Sanders or Durbin), and would probably win the election (unlike so many potential candidates the party is considering). My suggestion that the Democratic Party run Senator Van Hollen instead of Newsom for President received more "likes" than anything else I have ever written on Substack. MANY more likes!! I will have to count them - it was incredible in a group of comments that was relatively small.
If Sen. Van Hollen reads this, I can only say "Please run!" If the leaders of J Street, which is gaining so much power among Democrats in Congress that the New York Times wrote an article about it, see this post, I can only say, "Please promote Sen. Van Hollen as our next President!" If there is an overwhelming reason he can't run, then please promote Sen. Murphy, who has thrown his hat into the ring. But as the humanitarian successor to Bernie Sanders and a member of J Street now, I hope it will fall to President Van Hollen to undo all the damage the Trump administration has done to this country.

When Palestinians were using schools and hospitals for terrorism.
When Hostages were being jailed and murdered in hospitals. they said nothing about those war crimes.
This guy is a terrorist supporting antisemite. It's gross that J Street is platforming him.
On the subject of Mamdani, he believes violence against Jews is just a simple political choice. Nothing wrong with it.
This is who J Street is defending.
70% of Jews didn't vote for Mamdani. Period. He's already proven to be a danger.
Odd how he is so concerned about war crimes in Gaza, but not one word about Russian war crimes in Ukraine. To the contrary, on his Up In Arms site he aligns with America First and MAGA by decrying “forever wars.” The Kremlin loves this kind of rhetoric, it makes expanding their empire so much easier.
Maybe he’s just saving his opinions for his newest ice cream flavor, Putin Peppermint.

Thank you both! You are wonderful.

Palestinians launched 200+ terrorist attacks from the west bank over the last two years.
What morals and values are that?
The only group that tried to commit genocide are palestinians.
The "only" group? Ask the International Court of Criminal Justice. And settlers who have no right to be there attack Palestinians who are only trying to harvest their olives. They also attack Israelis who are trying to protect the Palestinians. Those settlers are the true terrorists, and the good people in this video - which I watched and listened to every word - are doing their best to put a stop to it, and they are right.
Thanks for giving Ben a platform! Love this guy and his willingness to fight for what's right! Kudos
