Pondering the state of American Jewry
Now that President Trump is back in office, American leadership is once again standing with Israel without apology. The administration has called on the United Nations to fire Francesca Albanese, its disgraceful “Special Rapporteur,” whose long track record of antisemitism and Hamas cheerleading is well documented. This woman refused to condemn the October 7 atrocities …
It should go without saying that anyone serving as the voice of the U.S. military must meet the highest standard of integrity. That’s why it’s deeply troubling that Kingsley Wilson, now the Pentagon’s chief press secretary, has a history of sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories and extremist content. From attacking the Anti-Defamation League for memorializing Leo …
I don’t always agree with Senator John Fetterman, but this week, he nailed it. At a time when too many politicians tiptoe around Iran’s threats, Fetterman told the truth: Israel should “take out the ayatollah” and show “no mercy.” That kind of clarity is rare—and urgently needed. Iran’s leaders aren’t misunderstood moderates. They’re the world’s …
Greta Thunberg’s recent attempt to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza under the guise of delivering humanitarian aid is not just another misguided act of activism—it’s a reckless and dangerous provocation. By participating in a performative boat voyage organized by groups with questionable affiliations, she has shown a blatant disregard for the security concerns of …
This week, Hamas rejected yet another ceasefire proposal, this time from U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Why? Because ending the war would mean giving up power—and Hamas isn’t willing to do that. While innocent Palestinians suffer in Gaza, Hamas’s leadership enjoys lavish lifestyles in Doha and Beirut, safely insulated from the devastation they’ve unleashed. It’s …
International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan is making headlines again, this time with his failed plan to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir — a move clearly meant to cast Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria as criminal. But before he could act, Khan was forced to take a …
Edan Alexander’s release from Hamas captivity marks a bittersweet moment for the Jewish community, as his harrowing account sheds light on the ongoing hostage crisis in Gaza. Held for months, often bound and blindfolded, Edan endured unimaginable conditions, including a tunnel collapse and severe abuse during his early days in captivity. His diet fluctuated with …
The recent wave of protests in Gaza against Hamas has laid bare a glaring hypocrisy among many so-called pro-Palestinian activists in the West. While thousands of Gazans, including the tragically murdered 22-year-old Oday Nasser Al Rabay, have risked their lives to decry the terrorist group’s oppressive rule, the silence from groups like National Students for …
Finally, after two years, three terrorists responsible for many terror attacks against both soldiers and civilians – just regular folks – have been indicted. The indictment says that the three participated in hostile acts of terror all through 2023-2024. This includes hurling boulders at IDF soldiers, lobbing firebombs and bottles of tar at Israeli cars, …
Arab leaders, it seems, aren’t wild about President Trump’s “Middle East Riviera” for rehabilitating Gaza and the Gazan people. Instead, they’ve decided to go with an Egyptian plan to invest $53b in reconstructing Gaza without moving the Arab residents out. As usual, no one wants these particular Arabs in their country. They’d rather leave them …
