Memorials, especially a memorial for an unspeakable tragedy, are a reminder that, in the end, we can never really “move on.” jewishjournal.com/commentary…

The print issue of @JewishJournal is out today. They ran my full 10,000-word analysis of why the October 7 Hamas attack qualifies, under the Genocide Convention and the case law, as a genocidal act.
I am very grateful they did not cut it because the power of the case I present is when all facts, evidence of intent, and the legal standard, are all on the page.
Here it is in full: jewishjournal.com/commentary…
Three years ago this week, Hamas carried out the deadliest single day for Jews since the Holocaust. The word "genocide" has been applied to only one side of this war.
I spent the past month running the same legal test — the Genocide Convention, the case law, the rigorous intent standard — against October 7 itself. The case turns out to be stronger than most people, on either side, expect.
I have set forth, in detail, a falsifiable standard — the same one I used in Genocide for Dummies, where I showed why Israel's conduct in Gaza does not meet the international legal standard for genocide. Show me the evidence that meets my test, and I will write the correction myself.
The Genocide Case Against Hamas is live now. It also runs tomorrow in @JewishJournal

Georgetown asked for my talk in advance, and I was about to send it to them on the day I discussed the petition with the dean. It draws on several of my JJ columns about humility, gratitude, and, ironically, the urgent need for dialogue in our polarized society. jewishjournal.com/commentary…

Even if we give Wiener the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t do this for political reasons and really means it, at least he could have done his homework. jewishjournal.com/commentary…

He sees much value in ritual, whether it’s guitar or Judaism. “Shred Factory is like a minyan, you can pray alone, but it’s not the same. Doing something together is more powerful. Practicing guitar together is no different.” By @BrianFishbach jewishjournal.com/culture/ar…

“Shabat has always had an internal drive to be and feel free and unfettered. The idea of liberation is one she has explored not only in her work but also in her life.”
