Thanks as always Alona for your thoughtful newsletter.
Of all the things I did not expect to see in 2025, Jewish people making excuses for Musk's Nazi salute has to be the most appalling. In the same month that we observe Holocaust Memorial Day (along with all the heartfelt posts and sincere thoughts) we also observe how some of us don't "see" the obvious.
It seems that as long as Musk "supports Israel" or visits the burned kibbutzim alongside the border with Gaza, his horrible Nazi salute, his support for the racist, extreme right-wing "Alternative for Germany," his racist tweets et cetera somehow get a pass.
I don't know what kind of world we're living in anymore. Up is down, left is right, backward is forward.

I couldn’t believe some of those responses. An upside-down world
