Pondering the state of American Jewry
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is complaining that no one complains when antisemites on the right are acting out. The cause of her complaint? An article in Politico that showed Bernie Sanders next to a money tree. The article’s purpose is apparently to ponder how a poor Democratic socialist ended up with a net worth of at least …
Denying that the Jewish people were sovereign in Jerusalem before the birth of the other two major world religions is done only for political reasons, according to a recent video on the City of David. The video, produced by Fox News show host Pete Hegseth, is just a taste of what we will see in …
On Saturday, when the Jewish people of the Jewish State of Israel were celebrating the Sabbath, Hamas operatives sent hundreds of rockets into civilian Southern Israel, sending residents into shelters. A woman was killed, another injured. More have subsequently been killed as the rockets continue. But if you’ll excuse the expression, what really hit home …
The news of the newest synagogue shooting in Poway, California, just six months after Tree of Life is more than shocking. We wonder what is happening to America, to our religious freedom and security. We felt safe. Now we do not. What will be? Only Hashem knows. John Earnest had evil on his mind as …
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is now (in)famous for her antisemitic remarks, has now said that her president is not “human.” Omar had earlier appeared to criticize former President Obama, trash-talking his policies on drones and borders, and saying that his “hope and change” rhetoric was just a mirage. In light of these remarks, a Fox …
We like to think that America is the good guy in any fight. That’s why this new documentary, A Night at the Garden, is so chilling. The 7-minute clip shows Americans goose-stepping, cursing the Jews, and in general, celebrating the rise of Nazism to a backdrop of a larger than life George Washington, flanked by …
Already known for her BDS support and for calling Israel “evil,” Ilhan Omar has now said rich Jews in AIPAC are behind U.S. support for Israel. And she’s said it in an entirely offensive way. Read the tweets and see for yourself: It’s all about the Benjamins baby 🎶 https://t.co/KatcXJnZLV — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February …
Some American Jews have found it shocking that no action has been taken against Freshman Democrats Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Adalah, an organization that works for the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, held a protest outside Carnegie Hall on February 3. That was the venue for a fundraising brunch on behalf of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO), which was followed by a performance. This leads one to wonder: what is the purpose …
Because Joseph’s Tomb is in Nablus, a city that is under Palestinian Authority autonomy, visits to the holy site by Jewish pilgrims are fraught with danger. For this reason, visits are coordinated with the IDF, to minimize the potential for people getting hurt. What makes a visit dangerous? Why would people be hurt for visiting …
