As a fellow liberal Zionist, I have lately wondered if I’m a dinosaur. I appreciate your heartening words here. And actually, most people in my world seem to align with what you wrote here.
Thanks Julie. I have a probably unwarranted hope, even confidence, that this dinosaur will emerge again as the only actually-feasible way forward. Some day.
Good work, Jay. I believe the perspective you articulate has been there all along -- it just takes time, patience, and safety/courage to spell out the complicated variables, which is a lot harder than quick and short slogans that will fit on a cardboard square or meme. Thank you for taking the time to consider those complications and name them in a direct and meaningful way. No one will forget or forgive the horrors of October 7 -- AND the killings in Gaza have to stop.

Thank you Don -- and thanks for sharing Mary's piece, which is both beautiful and articulate.
Hi Jay, I appreciate the compassion you have for the Gazans. This article shares the terrible occupation that they have been under from Hamas . Hopefully, the IDF will finally free them and allow them to have a decent life. https://open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/p/imam-father-gaza-kidnapped-by-hamas?utm_source=direct&r=ee642&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Please put out the word if you ever are going to be in Portland, OR. I'll be there.
Thanks! One day soon...
Once again, thank you for this. It’s grounding me for the day.
Thank you, Dan!
