The Myth of Israeli Innovation: #Israel has long relied on Western patrons for arms and backing—even as it has cast itself as a security “innovator” the West can’t afford to do without.

An important and needed discussion on #JewishCurrents pod about the trafficking of #antisemitism by #farRight influencers under the guise of "antizionism." Focus is on #TuckerCarlson's talk w/ #NickFuentes and #NormanFinkelstein's surreal decision to go on #CandaceOwens's show while providing hardly any pushback to her BS #conspiracism.

Worth a listen for any ppl who think going on fash podcasts can "advance" the cause of Palestine.

Mount Sinai Hospital Fired Social Worker Over “Gaza Must Live” Postcard

Hospital employees say the termination is an example of the anti-#Palestinian climate at the institution.

from #JewishCurrents
August 13, 2025

Last year, Claire Raizen, a social worker at Manhattan’s Mount Sinai Hospital[...] put up a small postcard at her desk bearing the words “Gaza Must Live.” Raizen said this affirmation of her values in her workplace was an attempt to manage the disconnect that arose from “knowing atrocities are happening” in #Gaza while she went about her daily life. The postcard was in a space where only co-workers came and went, she said, and was out of view of patients.

At first, other employees at the top-ranked hospital who saw the postcard reacted positively, Raizen said. “I had co-workers that would come into my office and say, ‘it’s so amazing to know that this is a safe place to talk about #Palestine."

Understanding the Immigration Crackdown

"[T]hough the sheer speed and spectacle of the offensive makes it appear new, many of the legal and enforcement tools at play are old, with the administration drawing on Cold War-era laws, War on Terror-era agencies, and Obama- and Biden-era precedents."
