| | | | | Protests this week in Israel continued, fighting for an end to the war in Gaza, and for the safe return of the hostages held by Hamas. The mood is dark, and the general feeling is one of helplessness, that shouting into the abyss doesn't seem to have an impact. Here's a piece that offers a potential solution.
In the meantime, the Israeli government is hosting what it's calling a conference on antisemitism. The invitation of Europe's far right is troubling. Yet perhaps, it can shake up the expectation that Diaspora Jewish communities owe obedient support for the Netanyahu government.
On a global scale, we are seeing how the Trump presidency puts us all at risk, after his administration's security breach this week. These and other types of military collaborations, including the proliferation of Israeli weapons to dangerous regimes, are critical to understand and consider: do they make us safer or increase our risk? The best option to me seems for Israel to reach out to potential allies and building relationships in the region. | |
