@StatecraftIL On October 7, @RawaneOsmane knew she had to go to Israel, even though it meant she could never go back to Lebanon or Syria.
At the Kotel, she didn't know how to pray. One word came to her.

As a child in Damascus, @RawaneOsmane's grandmother would hold her hands, look in her eyes, and tell her: remember, we are not Arabs.
Decades later, Rawan went looking for what she meant.

#Syria
@StatecraftIL When @RawaneOsmane stood with Israel on October 8, almost everyone she knew blocked her.
Now people in Syria and Lebanon are writing to ask: how did you know?
@AviJorisch
@StatecraftIL Strategists told @RawaneOsmane to hide her Star of David and keep her conversion quiet. She asked them about integrity.

@AviJorisch asks Dara Horn whether American Jews need a Plan B. Fatalistic or prudent? You decide.

Dara Horn: Is Plan B Fatalistic or Prudent - You Decide
Dara says the Plan B question assumes we have no agency. Others say preparing for the worst is prudence, not fatalism. Both sides deserve a hearing.

@AviJorisch
What if we’ve been fighting antisemitism with the wrong tools?
@DaraHorn argues that antisemitism is not simply bigotry. It is a lie. And while we fight bigotry with empathy, fighting a lie requires exposing it.
Coming soon on Statecraft with @AviJorisch .

I sat down with @AviJorisch at my home in Jerusalem for a conversation about Gibraltar, Aliyah, Jerusalem politics, the Emirates, October 7th, and some more personal questions than I expected 🙏🏾

Who is in charge of Israel's narrative war? "Nobody", says Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. She has been fighting it since the BBC called at 10 a.m. on October 7, and it is why she is making another run for office.

Avi Jorisch asked Eyal Hulata whether he bears responsibility for October 7. Hulata was Israel's national security advisor until nine months before it. He did not pause before answering.
