Sarah Hurwitz’s now-viral appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly last week is a gift to anti-Zionist and Palestine solidarity activists. The former speechwriter for Barack and Michelle Obama unwittingly does more in ten minutes to demonstrate the desperation and moral depravity of those who have spent the last two years attempting to stifle pro-Palestine sentiment and justify genocide than many have done in hours of speechifying.

Thanks to the social media bogeyman she identifies early in her comments, millions have listened, aghast, as she bemoans TikTok “smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why many of us can’t have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything we try to say to them they’re hearing through this wall of carnage.”
