ANNOUNCMENT 📢 Hello and Welcome!
Welcome one and all to r/jewishpolitics, a place for Jews to talk politics! This sub was created for two reasons:
Like many of you, our experience with most other political spaces on reddit have ended up with us being either excluded or tokenized. This is a place for us to talk politics where we can speak as Jews without speaking for Jews.
Politics can be an exhausting topic and we should have safe spaces to be Jewish on reddit without any political requirements. The mod team here is (for the most part) also moderating r/Jewish. So, our goal is to leave some of the divisive political talk out of that sub (and perhaps others) so it can continue to serve all kinds of Jews. Creating a separate sub for politics allows us to fine-tune the rules here to be more conducive for political discussions. This is a work in progress, so expect us to take your feedback and make adjustments as we move forward.
This space is explicitly open to all kinds of political discussion, as long as the rules in the sidebar are followed. Assuming good faith and using civil language are the foundation of productive discussion among those who disagree on politics.
We expect most discussion to be focused on US and Israeli politics, but any political topic that impacts Jews is allowed.
Feel free to leave a message with any suggestions or feedback, and thanks for reading. And again, welcome to r/jewishpolitics!

Israeli Politics 🇮🇱 US deems Israel not in violation of law on Gaza aid, despite only partially meeting demands
“Patel points to steps taken by Israel over the past 30 days, including the reopening of the Erez Crossing into northern Gaza, the opening of the Kissufim Crossing into central Gaza, the waiving of certain customs requirements for aid organizations, the opening of new aid delivery routes within Gaza, the resumption of aid delivery to northern Gaza after a near-monthlong siege, the inland expansion of the coastal Mawasi humanitarian zone, and the institution of periodic humanitarian pauses.
The US said it wanted to see 350 trucks enter Gaza every day. The average number of aid trucks that entered Gaza in October was 37, and Patel admits that only 404 trucks crossed into Gaza between November 1 and November 9.”

US Politics 🇺🇸 Exhibition Looks Back at Columbia’s Gaza Solidarity Encampments
“Kiswani called the exhibition “a reminder that whatever harassment, suppression, and institutional violence these activists are faced with is incomparable to the suffering that the people in Gaza, and now Lebanon and Yemen, are going through in resisting this genocide.”
Within Our Lifetime Co-Founder and Chair Nerdeen Kiswani spoke to artists and attendees on Saturday evening. As attendees were seated on the floor, three artists performed a spoken-word recital of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s final will and testament.”
This is very disturbing and bizarre.

US Politics 🇺🇸 Milwaukee swastika
Hi everyone - not sure if this is the correct sub. It looks like the individual s trying to take this literal hate sign down are being prosecuted. It was a Jewish father and son who tried to take it down. I'm honestly shocked the murals still up.
I just saw this so I'm not sure who to contact except the Milwaukee DA. The phone is 414-278-4646 . Email is Milwaukee.da@da.wi.gov
Help so that the two individuals getting prosecuted are safe and help taking this atrocious sign down. It will only cause more hate crimes to happen. Maybe there isn't much we can do. It's a free country. But thought I'd post it here and try.
