This taking a knee effort has nothing to do with free speech–it’s more like the childish tantrum parents face when they take their kids to the supermarket but refuse to buy them a treat.
"Soft" anti-Zionists on the western-left honestly believe that Arabs seek to murder Jews because we are mean. Israel is mean. The Jews are, as a matter of schadenfreude, are the New Nazis.

I wanted to write about. Rosh Hashana has passed and Yom Kippur is approaching - so much to say...but that will wait because today three men were murdered; their families are in shock right now, funerals are being planned.
Assimilation protects the individual against Jew-hatred (sometimes). But it works together with Jew-hatred against the survival of the Jewish people.

Nothing subtle or ambiguous about Trump’s first speech to the UN. General Assembly Tuesday as he showed the world that there was a new Sheriff in town and that the days of Obama sticking his head in the sand were over.

Our two-day New Year, Rosh Hashanah was immediately followed by Shabbat, the Sabbath. To be perfectly honest, I didn't miss the phone, internet, computer, television etc. It was a great relief.

Gd willing in the upcoming year, 5778, the Jewish People and the Government of Israel will have the faith in Gd to think of what's best for the Jewish People and State of Israel, and not what "the world" may say or do.
The list of funders to PCHR is impressive including the European Union, numerous individual European countries, George Soros' Open Society Foundations, Christian Aid (UK), Oxfam, Trocaire, and many others. All of these funders and nations are indirectly supporting financial incentives for murdering Jews.
As much as I enjoyed listening to Springsteen while in a US college, I'm glad my sons, and the generations that follow them, will spend their formative years in a far more consequential pursuit--serving the Jewish people and Israel

Ha’aretz speaks for the small, even tiny, minority of Jewish Israelis that make up the extreme Left. But it has far greater influence than its circulation figures indicate because its stories work their way into talking points in world capitals.

How did WFAN react to this blatant Antisemitism? Suspension? On-air apologies? For the 9/12 display of bigotry, WFAN reacted by sweeping their comments under the rug, their two cash-cow of bigots denied it ever happened, and the station even claimed they “lost” the tape of the day’s programming.

So, what does this story mean? That there are good guys on the other side? That peace is possible? No. It means that Israeli compassion to Syrians in need has made an impact.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) is not rare. It effects between 7 and 8% of all kids, yet it has been my experience that most adults are insensitive to the people who are affected by the problem.
The place to start making the Jewish claim to Israel - if I may be so bold - is with insisting upon our indigeneity to our own ancestral lands.

Why didn’t Kristof care to write such an article when Barack Obama was president supporting the Saudis in their campaign? Is his newfound concern simply because it would show President Trump in a bad light?
Something happened on the way to the expansion and redesigning of Yad Vashem over a decade ago: the powerful and yet simple juxtaposition of the roles the Arabs and Jews played in the war vanished.

Of course, no good yeshiva high school will take boys missing English and Math, and whatever school would accept them would have to put them in remedial groups. In most cases, the students never really catch up.

There is one thing that Israelis universally recognize and define as “that is Israel”: Israel’s Secret Sauce--LOVE
When I was a kid they hadn't invented "cultural appropriation" yet. Instead we were allowed to take anything from any culture, since all humanity was one big family, and imitating someone was a high sign of respect. Since then copying something from another culture has supposedly become an alleged crime against humanity, somehow.

Israel's Supreme Court by equating illegal aliens with Jews who tried to flee the Nazi regime, claim that welcoming the illegals is what Judaism teaches. Such a comparison shows no accurate knowledge of history and less of Judaism.
So long as the Arabs see that even the US refuses to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem then they understand that the Jewish State remains vulnerable because its international support is flaccid.
The policeman told Ari he could go up to the "7th Step".
This isn’t about doctrinal battles or gay marriage. It’s about the culture war fallout from the left’s power to write its values into law and into the codes of conduct that hold sway in in private organizations.

If Israel had done what was in all fairness its right to do, Muslims would not today have had to worry about going through metal detectors to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque. They would not have to worry because no Muslim would be allowed on that ground and Al-Aqsa would have been desecrated and dismantled.
The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), created and primarily funded by the American Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) has proudly announced the establishment of a “Racism Crisis Center” in Israel.
The Times never never told Palestinians that they weren't ready, or to wait some more until things get more peaceful nor gave Israel veto power over a Palestinian state the way it gives Iraq and Turkey that power over Kurdistan.

Palestinian Arabs coined the term “Nakba” (catastrophe) for the founding of the Jewish State on a fraction of the Palestine Mandate on May 15, 1948. However, the original Nakba happened 26 years earlier, when the British gutted the essence of international law set out in the Palestine Mandate

The Atlantic’s very lengthy essay on the failure of the eclipse to occur where a sufficient number of black people reside is entitled “American Blackout.” It clocks in at a remarkable 4,544 words and does not appear to be satire.
Empathy and caring must be part and parcel of the encounter with inter-faith couples. However, that cannot come at the expense of the integrity of the Torah or of the Future of the Jewish People. Sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Metal detectors are used in many places in the world, including airports of course, but also Muslim places of worship. So why the big deal at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem?
The Arabs are not the main problem. It is the Jew bashing Jews. It is the Jews who coddle and encourage those who would kill us.
Muslims who believe that jihad for the sake of recovering land is praiseworthy--regardless of the means. In other words, the murder of the two policemen is not seen as immoral, but Jewish control of Muslim Palestinians is.
