Justice Minister of the State of Israel promoting an incredibly dangerous proposal to annex most of the West Bank, create 169 separate Palestinian enclaves, ignoring enormous security, economic, political, legal (and moral) ramifications of such a move.

Annexation – at what cost?

The half-baked idea would formalize a one state arrangement and render Israel un-Jewish and un-democratic

More useful now than Israeli govt showing evidence US behind UNSCR would be evidence Israel genuinely seeks a two-state solution.

“We are united in the conviction that a negotiated two-state agreement is essential to preserve the kind of Israel we dedicated our lives to fighting for on all fronts: a secure, thriving democracy with a solid Jewish majority for generations.”

Today’s terror attack that took the life of Rina Shnerb, z”l is an absolute outrage. The seemingly steady increase in terror incidents in recent weeks is deeply worrisome.

Walked a couple blocks away from today’s #NoHateNoFear rally to visit the first Jewish cemetery in the US, established in 1656 - a reminder of how deeply rooted and strong the American Jewish experience has been and remains.

When you are an Israel analyst and your kids are 9, 6, and 3, Purim afternoon is just about the worst time to have to process breaking news like the Golan announcement. With my luck, Bibi will form a government on Erev Pesach and Abbas will resign right before Kol Nidrei.

U.S. policy toward Israel could shift radically back and forth depending on which party runs the White House or Congress. The relationship would no longer be "special," which would not only be a shame - but a threat to Israel itself.

Israel's democracy, security, economy, and social cohesion have become weaker; extremists in the government have become stronger, evermore committed to make certain this is just the beginning. I unequivocally support those Israelis in the streets, against this irresponsible vote
