I eat pepperoni. I have tattoos. And people tell me I’m “not Jewish enough.”

I host a show called Being Jewish with Jonah Platt. Still “not Jewish enough” apparently.

So let’s talk about what a “Bad Jew” actually is — because it’s not what you think.

Jews are not just a religious group. We are a tribe. A people. A family. And no level of observance can ever take that away from you.

You are as Jewish as you feel.🎙️ by @jonahplatt

Imagine two cultures side by side👇

One teaches its youth that the highest honor is dying while killing enemies. The other teaches its youth that the purpose of life is to make the world better.

One glorifies suicide bombing. The other will release thousands of prisoners to save one life.

One hides weapons in schools, hospitals, and children’s bedrooms. The other coordinates vaccines and humanitarian aid for the very population it’s fighting.

And yet somehow the accusation is reversed: the horror committed against Jews is projected onto Jews.

That’s how libels work. Invert reality. Repeat the accusation. Let the lie travel.

“My existence is not negotiable.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef @mosabhassanyousef

From the start of this war, one demand would have saved an enormous number of lives. Open the border.

If the priority were genuinely the civilians of Gaza, the marches would have been outside embassies and at the United Nations, demanding safe passage. They weren’t. Not once, anywhere, at any scale.

Chaos was the point. Chaos is where these movements do well.

“They write the news. I write the events.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef @mosabhassanyousef says headline is now a rabbit hole of people who have to invert reality to make it fit whatever story they’ve already chosen.

“It doesn’t matter how many people out there agree on something.”

Which cuts against how most of us now decide what’s true. Volume has quietly replaced evidence. If enough accounts say it, it feels settled, and anyone still arguing looks like the problem.

He calls them clowns, and the word is doing work. Not stupid. Performing.

And the people posing as moral while backing the ones who put children in harm’s way, then presenting themselves as the ones who care.

🚨Season 3 of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt starts here.🎬

My guest is Mosab Hassan Yousef @mosabhassanyousef known to the world as the Green Prince. He grew up inside Hamas leadership. He became one of the most valuable sources Shin Bet has ever had.

This is a man has survived things almost none of us can imagine, and the room felt he had earned the right to say it in his own words.

We get into what his intelligence work looked like from inside Hamas, and what it cost his family. October 7th. The genocide accusations against Israel. Where he thinks the West keeps getting Islam and extremism wrong. His own faith, and his complicated relationship with Christianity and Judaism. The last message he ever sent his father.

They didn’t protest his politics.👎 They targeted his family instead.🤯

Called him a “war criminal”. And said it wasn’t about him being Jewish.🤨

Jake Tapper @jaketapper shares deeply personal experience of being targeted for his identity wrapped in ‘activism’ and ‘social justice’.

Attacking a Jew based on their religion, assuming their stance on a distant conflict, is, by definition, antisemitic.

Angelenos, we’re doing Día de los Muertos again! 🌼💀✡️🇲🇽

Last time we filled a room with mariachi, marigolds, pan dulce and brisket tacos, and built a community ofrenda together. 🤝 It was the first event of its kind in Los Angeles.💪 It was not going to be the last. 😜

The oldest synagogue building in LA, sitting right in the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant Latino neighborhoods. Rooted in Jewish history, open to all.✨🫶

Join is for a family afternoon celebrating the traditions Latin and Jewish families share. Two cultures, one instinct: we say their names out loud.

Bring the kids. Bring your abuela. Bring a photo of someone you miss.

Reserve soldiers in Israel have serves HUNDREDS of days.💔 And one community doesn’t serve at all. 🤯

The issues tearing at Israel after three years of war: ultra-Orthodox conscription. The demand that they serve – even just national service – is exploding.

They’re resisting hard. And it’s cracking the very coalition that protects them.
