One thing I'm continuing to follow is how left-y Jewish groups/leaders are reacting to this whole saga. As I said in my piece, groups that want to open more space for debate about Israel, like @IfNotNowOrg, are in some ways hurt most by the whole thing

“Instead of creating more space for critical debate about Israel, @IlhanMN has added credence to a common caricature of the anti-Israel left: that opposition to Israel is partly fueled by conspiratorial anti-Semitism.” theatlantic.com/amp/article/58… via @emmaogreen @TheAtlantic

Without knowing people's hearts or motives, I would say it's pretty clear that activist environments on the left have ways of speaking that wander sideways into these tropes... Making it all the more difficult for a nuanced convo about Israel to happen.

Final thought, for now, which is somewhat ancillary to my article (which you should read): I've often wondered why it is that anti-Semitic tropes, which seem so obvious to Jews, often show up in conversations on the left.

I thought the most interesting statement to come out of all this was J Street's. The organization has backed Omar before, and one word jumped out at me from their reaction to her latest: "frustrated." They see how this episode sets them back.

Again and again, she has used anti-Semitic tropes to describe her anti-Israel positions. This empowers her opponents to say all critics of Israel are anti-Semites. It also shows that her read of the politics here is reductive.

A few thoughts on the controversy over Ilhan Omar. First, I think Rep. Omar has stepped into the Israel-Palestine arena at a time when more and more people are hungry for a robust debate about Israeli policies. Ironically, she just made that harder.

Have you been vacationing from Jewish/Muslim/Israel-Palestine Twitter over the last 24 hours? Would you like a rundown of Ilhan Omar's comments about Jews and money and Israel, including her recent apology? I've got it all here for you:

From @WajahatAli on the recent Supreme Court decision to let the execution of a Muslim inmate proceed, even though he requested--and was denied--the presence of an imam:

It's worth noting that a number of Southern Baptist leaders have made talking about -- and condemning -- sexual abuse central to their ministry, especially in recent years. Beth Moore is one: twitter.com/BethMooreLPM/s…

Right! Except that all of the other churches in this story are also totally shaped by zoning, just in a different way...

One other quick note. There'll be a lot of focus coming up on sex abuse in the Catholic Church, which in some ways is easier to track because of centralization. In the SBC, a Protestant tradition with local church autonomy, abuse is that much more hidden.

This investigation -- first part published yesterday by the Houston Chronicle -- is a horrifying look at the scope of abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention. Often, leaders knew it was happening.

"Many seemingly progressive churches seem so only because they are young. Their theology is actually fairly conservative, but it dresses up in leather leggings and cool hats." Great jam by @lkoturner
