Last night, during my Uber ride, a conversation with the driver took an unexpected turn. He told me he’s Lebanese. I told him I’m Israeli. What followed was a story that shook me. He shared that he was a human rights lawyer in Lebanon, targeted by Hezbollah—not once, but…

The Zionists on here act as a club where membership requires ignoring all evidence of Israeli wrongdoing in Gaza and Lebanon or you are labeled a Hamas supporter. I’m sick of it and I won’t play along. There is increasing evidence of Israeli war crimes, and it’s morally repugnant…

We might want to consider the impact of paywalls in this equation.

Being Mayor of San Francisco has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. I’m beyond grateful to our residents for the opportunity to serve the City that raised me. When I first took office in the middle of the night, back in 2017 when Mayor Ed Lee passed, I didn’t know what lay…

Exit polls indicate that 79% of American Jews voted for Kamala Harris. If that figure is accurate, then Trump received the lowest share of the Jewish vote in 24 years. The reason for this is that for non-Orthodox Jews, liberalism has become an integral element of what being…

The fight for democracy has only just begun. It’s a global one. Every battle counts but it’s not the final word. It’s a global battle. And we won’t rest until liberal democracy is restored in the U.S., NATO is secured and the EU expanded. Ukraine secured. Israel saved from…

YES on M! “If we fail to pass the measure, the higher gross receipts taxes starting in January will force more businesses to close — putting San Francisco’s recovery at risk.“ sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

This week’s incident where a man wearing a baseball cap with a Jewish star was kicked out of an Oakland cafe is just the latest example of the dangers Jews face being Jewish In Public. We must have zero tolerance for this bigotry.

ENDORSEMENT: "Despite his campaign struggles, Mahmood offers the kind of system-level thinking the city needs now to solve its most intractable problems," writes the Chronicle's editorial board. trib.al/7zMqLez

As the sun goes down tonight, Jews will gather to mark Judaism’s holiest day of the year – Yom Kippur – a reminder of G-d’s eternal love and His timeless promises of mercy and justice to His people. As the Jewish community faces a resurgence of antisemitism, we commit ourselves…

The blessing of Yom Kippur is that it is not just a day of reflection, repentance, and reverence – but a day of transformation, forgiveness, and hope. On behalf of my family and my entire Administration, we wish you a meaningful and easy fast. G’mar Chatimah Tova.

Yes the American revolution mostly featured George Washington leading terrorists to massacre, rape, and drag the corpses through the streets while celebrating the death of British civilians in large numbers, and then Washington and his terrorists hiding behind innocent colonials…

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of Hamas’s massacre, mass rape & mass kidnapping of Jews & others in southern Israel — the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas’s attack triggered a horrific, devastating war. My statement on the 10/7 anniversary: #DayOfYellow🎗️

According to Mayor @LondonBreed and @SFPDChief Scott, zero crimes are being committed in this video. HOWEVER, tomorrow there will be a crime committed by the store owner for not cleaning up the graffiti. @Manny_Yekutiel must clean or be fined.

A war of revenge, not precision: Israel has been using incredible precision in its military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah over the past two weeks. The IDF and Israeli intelligence have been able to deploy and apply precise firepower and covert operations, which managed…

Sometimes I think that it can't be that the world has gone insane and I'm the one sane person left, but then I read things like this and I'm pretty convinced that that's exactly what has happened.

One side won the popular vote/lost the electoral college twice in 20 years -- whined about it, but accepted the electoral college results. Another side, after losing both the electoral college AND the popular vote, set forth a mob on the Capitol to block election ratification AND…

The spirit of Yom Kippur is not about demanding apologies from people for me imagined slights. It’s about doing soul searching, a חשבון הנפש, for what YOU have done wrong. A much more useful and healing practice than hurling blame at others, which is what we do most of the year…

Trump has adopted a refrain that if he loses, it’s the fault of the super majority of Jews who vote for Kamala. Trump’s scapegoating of Jews in the event he loses is precisely why Jews don’t want him anywhere near the White House.
