The distinction between "progressive and Zionist" and "progressive Zionist" is useful here, with Zioness being an example of the former.

There would've been nothing to condemn or decry here without Netanyahu. There was no preexisting appetite for this alliance. He moved political heaven and earth to get it twitter.com/joshnathankazi…

I'm surprised Aluf Benn thinks Sharon's military record (and I think it's sensible to include his years as defense minister in that) bolstered him politically. He was a discredited figure in Israeli politics for awhile haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

I'm sorry if it wasn't clear. My tweet was directed at people who share Hen's critiques of the Women's March and Corbynism but don't know about his maligning of Israeli leftists and NGOs

There needs to be 61 MKs supporting the government, which is what makes it viable to the President. There is no requirement in the Basic Law for all the parties to be represented in the coalition agreement.

I'm not suggesting it's likely. There are just too many variables at play at the moment.

Lapid definitely complicates matters, definitely rules out UTJ. But the hurdle is overstated: no one will have to sit in government with Arabs, but perhaps vote yes on the same confidence motion. Those aren't the same things.

I've met him on a number of occasions and was impressed as well. I don't think the office of Pubic Advocate is a necessary one, but if there's anyone who could turn it into something useful and effective it's him.

If you're in NYC, please come out on Tuesday for Jumaane. He is the leading Democrat for Public Advocate on a ballot with 20+ others. The GOP is targeting this race because there is no runoff and they could win with a small % of the vote if Democrats split nytimes.com/2019/02/21/opi…

There's going to be another election for it after next week (primary and a general). It's the stupidest wasteful thing.

Mueller has already said he will abide by DoJ nemo that says a sitting president can't be indicted.

I know. I'm poking fun at the statements that decry their inclusion but omit any mention of Bibi.

On the right, their rhetoric has hardly been alien in the last 10 years or so. Miri Regev is as obnoxious and racist as any bona fide Kahanist

It's mindboggling how the Kahanists were able to emerge from the ether and enter the mainstream just like that.

Wasn't Farrakhan loosely involved in the assassination of Malcolm X?

I've been familiar with your shtick since you were going around maligning J Street in 2014. I'm not intimidated by it.

I'm actually fascinated by this particular bad faith attack. How could you possibly know I'm straight?
