Pondering the state of American Jewry
Israel’s starting to wise up. You can be a democracy without letting people who hurt you have free reign to wreak havoc in your country. That is what Jewish American BDS activist Ariel Elyse Gold of Code Pink discovered when her plane landed in Tel Aviv. This is a nasty woman who agitates against Israel …
Because Israel is a democracy, anyone can run for office. That is why Israel has so many Members of Knesset that are Arabs. One of them is Haneen Zoabi who has publicly said things like “We need millions of Palestinians to march on Jerusalem. That is the aspiration. But we can’t do it, because the …
It’s a veritable flood (of reason and intellect). Paraguay has joined the United States and Guatemala in opening embassies in Jerusalem. It seems that countries wait for the US to lead, and then follow suit. Which proves what an important move President Trump made in moving the US embassy to Jerusalem’s eternal capital, Jerusalem. Love …
Just two days after the United States moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, capital of Israel, Guatemala is following suit. Out of gratitude, the Jerusalem municipality beamed an expression of thanks to President Jimmy Morales Cabrera, garlanded with the Guatemalan flag, on Tuesday night, in lights on the walls of the Old City …
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whose doctoral thesis was a denial of the Holocaust, opened a speech of the Palestinian National Council by blaming the murder of over 6 million Jews on (wait for it) the Jews and their money-grubbing behavior. But that’s not antisemitic at all, right? Here’s what he said: “From the 11th …
Fake news is an irritating phenomenon, but not reporting the real news is even worse, in some ways. CAMERA reports that Syria put tanks and heavy artillery into a demilitarized border zone it shares with Israel. This should have been shocking front page news. But you couldn’t have read about it, since not one major …
Nothing like the refreshing candor espoused by DC Councilman Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) who posted a video to Facebook blaming climate change on the Jews, then expressing surprise that anyone could think that was antisemitic. Here’s what he said in the video so you can judge for yourself: “Man, it just started snowing out …
A Pearson Airport security agent failed the sensitivity test in Toronto when he failed to recognize a religious Jew’s tefillin (phylacteries) and insisted on opening up the boxes to inspect the contents, a violation of religious liberty, for sure. Especially when the religious Jew, remaining respectful throughout, asked twice to speak to the agent’s supervisor. …
Portugal’s Secretary of State for Tourism Ana Mendes Godinho recently attempted to woo American Jews to spend time in and invest in Portugal. “We want a Jewish presence in Portugal and we look to Jewish investment,” said Mendes Godinho, who spent two weeks in the United States. This puts one in mind of the tragic …
Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett presented his ministry’s report on global antisemitism. It seems that while antisemitism is on the rise, violent antisemitic incidents are down. In Bennett’s introduction to the report, he said: “The unequivocal growth in the anti-Semitic discourse is apparently due to two phenomena that we have witnessed over the …
