Thanks to my truth-telling colleagues at @peacenowisrael! You are true to Is-Pal peace, even as many Israelis fall to temptation of pocketing #Trump's declaration on #Jerusalem. For US prog Jews who want to take cue from Israelis on J'lem, they should look to you, not Avi Gabbay! twitter.com/peacenowisrael…

Heart-shattering. What can I do but pray for refuah shleimah (healing of wholeness) for Hamed al-Masri, unlikely as that may be, and work for an end to this horror of an occupation? Thanks @haaretzcom, for reporting haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

. @CNN is upset that corrupt countries criticized the U.S. at the #UNGA. #Tapper & #CNN didn't mind when corrupt nations voted with the U.S at the U.N. (they often do). This is an attempt to delegitimize the vote. out of 128 countries he picked the worst. cnn.com/videos/politic…

Reminder: you are a diplomat. Please do a little homework on diplomacy and the importance of soft power. And then dig thru the ruins of Trump's #Jerusalem policy, which you've championed. What do you plan to do to advance US strategic interest in Is-Pal peace? 7/7

"US-Israel alliance stronger than ever": As a Zionist American Jew, I should be able to rejoice. But I can't. The romance between #Trump and #Netanyahu is one of narcissists w/ autocratic tendencies. These men are feeding on each other & threatening their liberal democracy. 6/

"Defection": Merriam-Webster defines as "conscious abandonment of allegiance or duty." Votes for the #UNGA resolution by our allies were nothing of the sort. They are pleas for the US to return to its role as moral leader and supporter of peace for #Israelis and #Palestinians. 5/

"Defections": You're spinning abstentions as votes against. We know better. Only 7 countries (plus US & Israel) voted against. @shibleytelhami points out that 3 of these -- Micronesia, Palau, and Marshall Islands -- have a combined population of 180,000. 4/

"Record defections": What is your point of comparison? If the #UNGA has ever previously rebuked the US govt over a decision to recognize #Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move @USEmbassyTelAviv there, I'm not aware of it. Please enlighten me. 3/

"Foregone conclusion": Yes, that describes the #UNGA outcome. That is no indictment of the UN, but of #Trump's #Jerusalem policy. It's also a reaffirmation of the UN's longstanding support for the 2 state solution. 2/

Shabbat shalom, @USAmbIsrael David Friedman! It's the morning after President #Trump's stunning diplomatic defeat at the #UNGA on #Jerusalem. Probably a good time for reflection by a US diplomat on what went wrong, eh? Instead, you're opting for spin. Let's check out your web. 1/ twitter.com/USAmbIsrael/st…

Sincere request for @Yuval_Rotem:
Please explain to me how accepting Jerusalem as Israel's capital, without accepting it also as Palestine's capital and without even a peace process, will bring peace. twitter.com/Yuval_Rotem/st…
