Disputes and Dilemmas

We need to stand against hate symbols everywhere, whether a swastika or an inverted triangle. Why? Because they are hateful, because in themselves they send a message of dehumanization.

ADL Should Not Be Defaming Trump

I am not here to defend or condemn the actions of those who entered the Capitol four years ago. But even if I did, it would not be a problem, because I am an individual and not a legacy organization of the Jewish people.
