A bit busy
I’m a bit consumed by my day job these days — plus the lovely addition of a home life, now that I’ve stepped down as J Street NYC co-chair — so I’m sorry I’ve not been posting more. Here’s a summary of my activities: The 15th Annual New Generations Benefit is October 21st in NYC! [...]

Settlements — Now available on Google Map!
Since the explosion of GoogleMaps mashups nearly four years ago, Israeli-Palestinian conflict nerds like me have dreamed of seeing the settlements and sundry occupation data applied in such a visual manner.

“When Settlers Attack,” statistics on Jew-on-Arab violence
Via Mondoweiss, an interesting compilation of data on settler violence, including arson, stone throwing and destruction of property by Yousef Munayyer of the Palestine Center.

Why I am New Israel Fund
In late 2004, I was standing on the hilltop above a small Bedouin camp on the edge of East Jerusalem, al-Jahalin. It was barely my first month in the country and my world was reeling. The idyllic Israel of my upbringing was more than just complicated — it was deeply flawed, sullied, ugly. The camp [...]

Last meeting as J Street NYC Co-Chair
Last meeting as J Street NYC Co-Chair, originally uploaded by Kung Fu Jew 18. Tonight was my last steering meeting as Local Co-Chair in New York City. After four years as the head of the Brit Tzedek (then) and J Street (now) grassroots team, I’m so proud of our growth and my team. I leave [...]

I don’t care that you’re skeptical about peace talks
Brief Twitter statement after watching enough prominent lefties state in blog posts at length how skeptical they are about the renewed peace talks. I don’t have patience for defeatism or feet draggers. I am a little bit bored by my lefty colleagues complaining about skeptical they are about the peace talks. I dont care that [...]
