Rabbi Steve Leder’s attack on Adam Brody for speaking out about Gaza is deeply troubling. Brody said publicly that he believes what is happening in Gaza is genocide and that he supports a free Palestine. Leder responded by calling him a “relatively ignorant Jew,” suggesting that he knows nothing about the subject and should say nothing. I wholeheartedly share Brody’s view. What Israel has committed in Gaza constitutes genocide. Being Jewish does not require blind support for any Israeli government. On the contrary, speaking out against the immense suffering of Palestinians inflicted by the Netanyahu government is totally consistent with Jewish values. Remaining silent in the face of Israel’s atrocities is a betrayal of these values that saved the Jews throughout the millennium. Wake up, Rabbi Steve Leder; it is you who is ignorant about what Jews should stand for.

It’s not a genocide. It doesn’t matter what people believe. It’s a fact.
Terrorist is not an ethnicity. It is a vocation. The term genocide is not applicable here.

Rabbi???Solomon Friedman is also rabbi!! These RabiD Douchebags should be Sanctioned and/or Guillotined
Bad Jews. Naughty Jews. Judaism is all about child abuse and supporting the indiscriminate slaughter of 10s of thousands of innocent children in Palestine and Lebanon by Israel in the name of Judaism. Those Jews who say: "Not in my name" are anti-semetic. Or perhaps it is the other way around. The majority of Israelis are in a cult pretending to be Jewish
Drop dead Zionist pig
FUCK Zionism (*not Judaism)
That Rabbi is one messed up dude. Dude your a rabbit. WTF?
Hang all who supported the Terrorist and those involved
Well...Adam Brody is free to believe what he wants. Of course Rabbi Leder is correct, Adam Brody is an ignorant Jew.
Unfortunately its not just Netanyahu its israeli society Nation of lunatics
What's wrong with rabbi's have they lost their moral compass and become full Nazi
The genocide was committed by Gazans - an intention to murder as many Israelis as possible. Israel responded with a defensive war.
Good zimmi
These 2 left wing nuts, when the antisemites are out there using these fools as bate... Some will never get it... Fools

Rwanda-backed M23 fighters have killed, tortured, arbitrarily detained and forced artisanal miners to work at gold and coltan mines in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to new Amnesty International research. Amnesty documented the summary killing of 18 miners at two mining sites and says minerals from M23-controlled areas are being trafficked into neighboring Rwanda with assistance from Rwandan authorities. The organization warns that the alleged plunder may amount to a war crime. The findings also raise questions for global supply chains: coltan is essential to electronics used worldwide. Amnesty is urging governments and companies to stop purchasing Rwandan gold and coltan until they demonstrate effective safeguards against trafficked Congolese minerals.

Medicaid Changes Leave Nebraskans Without Health Coverage
More than 1,000 Nebraskans lost or were denied Medicaid coverage between May and August after the state became the first to implement new federally mandated work requirements, according to Human Rights Watch. The consequences can be serious: HRW documented a 64-year-old kidney cancer patient whose treatment was delayed after he lost coverage because he was not working, despite being unable to work because of his health. Confusion over exemptions, inadequate training and administrative problems are also affecting patients and state workers. With similar requirements due nationwide by January 2027, HRW warns Nebraska may offer an early glimpse of how bureaucratic barriers could cost eligible Americans their healthcare.
