Pondering the state of American Jewry
During a visit to Jerusalem this week, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz admitted that his country had admitted only to victimhood during the Holocaust and not in its very pertinent role in the murder of 6 million Jews. Speaking to a gathering of the American Jewish Committee, Kurz was forthright: “To remember means also to admit …
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 …
We already knew that novelist Michael Chabon and wife Ayelet Waldman are not on Israel’s side in the Arab war against the Jews. But now Chabon has come out against Jews marrying Jews. Significantly, he did so in an address to the latest graduating class reform rabbis at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion …
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 …
Trump has called off the JCPOA, and the Iranians aimed a battery of missiles at Israel. The IDF opened bomb shelters in the Golan Heights and called up the reserves. It’s getting hot over there. There’s been an unconfirmed bombing of the Iranian missiles next to Israel in Syria. Israel never confirms a strike like …
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 …
After months of speculation, it’s really happening: the U.S. Embassy is moving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel’s capital. The official move is slated for May 14th, Jerusalem Day. An access road has been created and road signs have gone up. Rumor has it that Jared and Ivanka Trump will be representing the Trump administration …
The Trump administration isn’t going to let Assad’s chemical strikes on his own people be ignored any longer. Moreover, the incoming U.S. National Security Advisor, John Bolton, made sure to coordinate the U.S. response to Syrian chemical attacks with Israel. No more fuzzy red lines. No more blowing off allies in favor of enemies. Whether …
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 …
