How the War Exposed the Failures & Possibilities of the Jewish Left - Rabbi Shai Held

In his keynote speech at the Z3 Conference, Rabbi Shai Held balanced an excoriation of the left's failures to deal with the October 7th attack and the war that followed it along with the hopes he had of where a morally committed Jewish left could go if it dares.
The speech is ultimately hopeful: a call for a greater moral reckoning among Jews in both America and Israel to examine their role in the conflict and how they can steer their respective communities towards a better future.

Amazing speech. Thank you, Shai Held

Absolutely superb -- thank you.

[@JRobinWhitley]

As a new Jew, this is very helpful for me too.

[@teddmented]

Well said

[@joe732]

The Hamas took over Gaza after the last Jew left, so we got a good hint what will happen when the occupation will end, to say that Israel can't occupy the Palestinians forever is not good enough if the alterntive is Hamas, exactly as it happened in Gaza.

Thank you -

To caricature the Left and demonstrators as celebrating Hamas is disingenuous.

[@davemo65]

No, it’s entirely accurate. Dress it up anyway you like, but these are pro-Hamas rallies.
