Mayim Bialik Expresses Solidarity With Israelis in Rocket-Attacked City Named After Her Ancestor
By SHIRYN GHERMEZIAN (Septs. 25, 2024) Jewish actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik shared on Tuesday a message of support for residents of Kiryat Bialik, a northern city in Israel named after her great-great-grandfatherโs cousin, after it was hit with heavy rocket fire this past weekend from the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist group.
โYou may have seen that Iran-backed Hezbollah hit Kiryat Bialik this weekend,โ the former โThe Big Bang Theoryโ star wrote in an Instagram post. โThousands of rockets have been fired upon Israel by Hezbollah over the last year, and the situation in the north is intensifying in terrifying ways โฆ My heart is with all the innocent civilians of Kiryat Bialik.โ
The city was named after Israelโs national poet laureate Haim Nahman Bialik, who is related to the actress. He died in 1934 of a heart attack at the age of 61 in Vienna, Austria. Bialik House, his former home in Tel Aviv, has been converted to a museum dedicated to the poet and his work. Most major cities in Israel also have a street named after him, Bialik noted in her Instagram post. She added that her ancestor was โa Zionist visionary, a gifted poet, and a lover of Israel.โ
Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets and drones at northern Israel over the weekend and three people suffered shrapnel wounds.
Bialik was honored with the Ambassadors for Peace award on Tuesday night at a gala hosted by Creative Community for Peace (CCFP), a nonprofit organization comprised of members of the entertainment industry who have the shared goal of combating antisemitism and the cultural boycott of Israel while using the arts to promote peace. Upon accepting the award at the CCFP gala on Tuesday night, Bialik spoke about โfeeling overwhelmedโ since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre that took place in southern Israel.
โI took my oldest son to college this week as my family is sleeping in bomb shelters in Israel. That contrast is what many of us are feeling for this entire year,โ she said. โCCFP was founded over a decade ago but I do admit that it wasnโt until Oct. 7 that the work of CCFP became an integral part of my daily life. I want to thank everyone at CCFP for the support that has given me the ability to stand strong in the face of intimidation, threats, hatred, and ignorance.โ

Rahm Emanuel: Pursuit of Greater Israel as โfanaticalโ as the chant โfrom the river to the seaโ
(JTA) โ The pursuit of Greater Israel is a corrosive fantasy, veteran Democratic politician Rahm Emanuel is expected to tell a Tel Aviv audience on Wednesday, calling it as โdestructive and fanaticalโ as the chant โfrom the river to the sea.โ
Emanuel, who has held multiple top roles in the Democratic Party, in Congress and in the Obama White House, is a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
He will warn that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is leading the country to a โdead-endโ that has turned the country into a โpariahโ and is threatening Israelโs historic alliance with the United States, according to an advance copy of his speech shared with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Tuesday.
He blamed as โour mistakeโ Americaโs assumption that โthe best thing Washington could do for Jerusalem was to blindly and silently stand behind your government, without conditions, without demands, and without consequences.โ That path has led to policies including Israeli extremists terrorizing West Bank Palestinians and Gazans suffering from a lack of food that means โIsrael has never been so isolated,โ a situation that he terms โa countdown clockโ for Israelโs security.
Instead, his remarks state, โwe need a fundamentally new and di๏ฌerent approach to the alliance.โ
At the same time, he criticized the Palestinians for what he said were mistakes and obstacles toย peace over the years. He lambasted their supporters in the United States who support replacing Israel with a Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
โThose chanting โfrom the river to the seaโ need to hear this loud and clear: they will never have their way,โ he declares in his prepared remarks. โBut those calling for a greater Israel must also hear this loud and clear: youโre never going to have your way, either. Both are fantasies chanted by fanatics.โ
Emanuel, who is a former U.S. congressman from Illinois as well as a former Chicago Mayor and served as White House Chief of Staff under President Barack Obama, is considering a presidential run in 2028. His trip has garnered media attention given that his ideas on Israel could signal the direction of his party on the issue, particularly as they come from a Jewish politician with close ties to the country. Emanuel once volunteered as a civilian with the Israeli army and his father was an Israeli citizen.
His trip to Israel to underscore the importance of the Israeli-U.S. alliance and to advocate for a new regional diplomatic initiative comes at a time when politicians in his Democratic Party are increasingly disavowing Israel to gain an edge in upcoming elections as the countryโs reputation plummets.
A Pew Research Center Poll published in April found that 60% of Americans had an unfavorable view of Israel, but its standing was worse among Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents, where 8 out of 10 had negative views about Israel.
According to his prepared speech, Emanuel is set to highlight his deep connection to the Jewish state and his familyโs sacrifice in bringing about its creation, noting that his uncle, who was a member of the pre-state underground, is buried on Jerusalemโs Mt. of Olives. His father, Benjamin, was born in Jerusalem in 1927 and fought in Israelโs 1948 War of Independence before immigrating to the United States, where he raised his family in Chicago.
Emanuel plans to recount Israelโs history of overtures in the name of peace and in the face of Palestinian violence during the second intifada and the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on southern Israel. He will explain that he understands Israelโs cynicism regarding any future arrangement with the Palestinians since Israelโs past offers of Palestinian sovereignty in exchange for security were frequently met with violence.
โI understand why, even if you oppose the Netanyahu government, youโre so prone to dismiss criticism from the outside world,โ Emanuel wrote, underscoring that a โcorrupt Palestinian leadership has never lived up to the Palestinian peopleโs legitimate aspirations for sovereignty and self-determination.โ
Still, he wrote, Israelโs future canโt be โheld hostage to a past defined exclusively by recriminations,โ warning that such a stance will endanger its โhistoric alliance with the U.S.,โ which is now โat a crossroads.โ Israel must embark on a path that pairs military and diplomatic efforts, rather than relying solely on military prowess, he wrote.
โIsrael will be alone if its leaders choose to attempt to annex the West Bank and pursue the fantasy of a greater Israel,โ Emanuel plans to say.
โAmerica will not and cannot be complicit or complacent in that endeavor,โ he wrote, explaining that it has erred in the past by โblindly and silentlyโ supporting Netanyahuโs government.
The speech calls for an end to the โAmerican taxpayerโs subsidy of Israelโs defense budget,โ maintaining that Israel should buy U.S. arms with the same financial terms and restrictions as every other ally โthat abides by our laws.โ
The speech laid out a broad-based policy with regard to a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that rejects extremist Israeli violence against Palestinian civilians and illegal West Bank settlement building but does not spell out prescriptions for divisive issues such as the future of Jerusalem or using the pre-1967 lines for determining the borders of a Palestinian state.
Emanuel does not mention the U.S.-based political advocacy group J Street in his speech, but the text picks up on the 23-state policy idea that J Street put forward last year, involving 21 Arab states, alongside Israeli and Palestinian ones, that would include recognition of Israel by the Arab League.
Such a regional integration would allow for Israel and the larger Middle East to become a technological and transit hub for trade between Europe and India, he plans to say.
To achieve this regional peace, Emanuel continues, the Arab states would have to support a Palestinian governing entity that would accept the Jewish historic connection to Israel, stop teaching its children to hate Israel and end the โheinous practiceโ of financially rewarding terrorists who kill Jews.
Israel, he wrote, would have to halt unilateral actions in the West Bank, stop nurturing harmful organizations and support โreal partners in pursuit of peace.โ
This scenario rests on a three-part U.S. policy in the region that would leverage the Arab worldโs desire for stability, Israelโs need for security, and Palestinian demands for sovereignty.
โThe political benefits for all parties would be far greater than a two-state solution could ever o๏ฌer. But to get there, everyone would need to make good on their piece of the bargain,โ he wrote in his speech.
The alternative path, he wrote, is one that has seen Israel isolated and turned it into a pariah state.
โIsrael has failed to convert its military wins into strategic advantages,โ Emanuel is expected to say, noting that the country has โlost Europeโ and its support in the U.S. is plummeting. U.S. unconditional support for Israel without demands and consequences has been a mistake, he added in his speech, in which he blamed Israelโs poor global standing on Netanyahuโs policies.
A centrist Jewish Democrat embracing a policy promulgated by J Street, a group founded in 2008 to counter the influence of what was then the mainstream pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, illustrates the degree to which the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and its credo of creating a bipartisan consensus of support for Israel has eroded.
Emanuel plans to recall his own tensions with Netanyahu, who during his time as White House Chief of Staff labeled him a โself-loathingโ Jew for opposing West Bank settlement construction.
Netanyahu, he wrote in his prepared remarks, โcannot fight indefinitely against a world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight. You must instead find a new sustainable path to peace, security, and prosperity.โ
Alternatively, he wrote, the United States would stand โshoulder-to-shoulderโ with Israel as it pursued peace and security.
