Why are establishment U.S. Jewish organizations like the AJC doubling down on defending Israeli government actions that violate the values they're supposed to represent?
A decade ago U.S. Jewish groups like the ADL, Reform Judaism and the Presidents Conference rallied to 'Save Darfur'. But our silence on Israel's refugee deportations relegates 'Never Again' to an empty platitude
What 'communal consensus' does the JFNA reflect when it blocks donations to anti-occupation causes but welcomes 'pro-Israel' right-wingers who traffic in Islamophobic hate speech?
