Jay Michaelson at Forward: I supported Israel’s actions in Gaza in October 2023 -- not anymore. Critics were wrong that Israel’s 2023 actions constituted genocide but they are right in 2025.

Genocide is a genocide when you start the genocide.

Now I wonder: Was this true all along? Were my anti-Zionist friends right from the start? Was I willfully deluding myself? I don’t know anymore, and maybe that’s a good thing.

Very interesting to hear this from Rabbi Michaelson. But as a Rabbi, he should have known what Benjamin Netanyahu meant when he told his soldiers "remember what Amalek has done to you."
