Some politically conservative Jews are using the surge in anti-Israel sentiment as an opportunity to argue to liberal American Jews that their close ties with left-leaning Black, gay, women’s, and immigrant rights organizations have not stopped many of those groups from taking pro-Palestinian stances in the war.

“Stop whining,” wrote Rabbi Dov Fischer, vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, an organization of Orthodox rabbis. “Fight back.” He urged “woke” liberal Jews on college campuses to “Get out there and affirm you are Jews. … Accept that the [diversity, equity and inclusion] Woke have no room for you,” he said.
