Deprived of music for weeks, it rolls back in waves through speakers, from horns blown by children and a makeshift drum echoing an ancient celebration when men danced around fires and shot arrows into the air.
Facebook isn’t banning protests during the coronavirus lockdowns. It’s banning conservative protests.
Federal bureaucracy has slowed down the process for both distributing existing masks and making new ones. There are plenty of companies eager to make masks, without any Wartime Production Act pressure. They just need a streamlined process that will clear as many of the barriers and delays out of the way.
America is not divided because local newspapers are dying. They’re dying because they’re on one side of the divide. True institutions reflect the diversity of the civitas. False institutions reflect only themselves.
Obama hasn’t been bypassed for a younger politician, but a formerly obscure elderly radical.
The tragedy of the Jersey City attack taking place on a street named after Martin Luther King is that while there are streets in every major city named after the civil rights activist, civil rights has fallen to identity politics. Where civil rights called for equality, identity politics is nationalism and supremacism.
American leaders of a century past could not reconcile themselves to Islamic polygamy. Yet our modern leaders have reconciled themselves to the Islamic mass murder of Americans.
The question is, "Who determines who will run the country. Will it be the voters or the lawyers?"
Biden, Sanders, and Warren preach diversity. But if you want to see what they really believe, go look at where they live.
One out of 25 Jews like Bernie--More than you'd think-or should
There is no escape from those who would kill us, but that we kill them first. The failure to understand that is the failure to survive.
Democrats have made it clear that if they win the presidential election, they will restore the flow of cash to the terrorists. Joe Biden vowed to restore “security” funding to the Palestinian Authority. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand promised to restore the aid programs that “President Trump has cut.” Andrew Yang called for restoring aid to the terrorists. Senator Bernie Sanders and Peter Buttigieg went further, threatening aid to Israel. None of them condemned Rina’s murder.
Air conditioning and heating are not how we change the climate. They’re how we cope with it.
And then Banana Republic debuts four hijabs and it’s cultural appropriation even though Islam appropriates cultures the way hot dog eating contest winners go through sauerkraut and brats. Huge chunks of the Koran are appropriated from Judaism and Christianity like a little kid trying to write his own comic book by taking all the best parts of all the books and movies he saw and mixing them up.
As the debate over immigration continues, we must ask ourselves difficult questions about the price we are willing to pay to welcome in one particular group without caring about the cost to ourselves.
We can solve the problem that five administrations have struggled with if we reevaluate our flawed assumptions about the world, the Palestinian Authority and the fictional people it represents.
Sen. Booker’s anonymization of Jews as “folks” strongly echoed Obama’s dismissal of a Muslim terrorist attack on a Jewish supermarket before the Sabbath, as “randomly shot a bunch of folks in a deli.”
The violent assaults on a number of Orthodox men in Williamsburg and Crown Heights are classed together with swastikas drawn on a playground. But it’s much easier to establish that graffiti has a bias motive, because of the physical evidence, than that a violent assault was a hate crime.
The issue is not Israel. If it were, then Arabs with Israeli citizenship would also be condemned. It's only the Jews who are the problem. The entire Peace Process is really a prolonged solution to the latest phase of the Jewish Problem.
Once the media mainstreamed anti-Semitic radicals, it defended them against charges of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism may not be growing, but tolerance for it is. And that can be just as dangerous.
A beautiful meditation on Israel's Memorial Day: In the cities, towns and villages-- the dead are remembered. Those who died with weapons in their hands and those who just died. Men, women and children. Drops of blood cast to the dust, reborn as flowers on lapels. Reborn as memory.
The Exodus is not the story of the emergence of free men who were enslaved, but the slow painful process by which slaves became a nation of free men, a long troubled journey which has not yet ended
To understand the origins of Rep. Omar or Rep. Tlaib’s anti-Semitism, look to the Merah family.
Is it any wonder that the Democrats don’t want to talk about anti-Semitism? But that’s a mistake because grappling with anti-Semitism would allow them to understand why their policies don’t work.
When will De Blasio declare?
The ADL doesn’t have the time and the space to confront anti-Semitism, because it’s too busy with more important things. And those things are not the threats to Jews; they are the agendas of the radical Left.
Israel’s inability to get a fair hearing at the UN is no longer a matter of ideology or politics, but a manifestation of structural Islamic supremacism due to the makeup of the UN General Assembly.
And now the flame still burns, though it is flickering. Sixty-eight years is a long time for oil to burn, especially when the black oil next door seems so much more useful to the empires and republics across the sea. And the children of many of those who first lit the flame no longer see the point in that hoary old light.
If “white Christians” invented anti-Semitism, white American Christians appear to be terrible at it. The ADL’s own surveys show black anti-Semitism as being 2 to 3 times higher than average.
President Trump has called for ruthless action against the Muslim AND Neo-Nazi murderers of Jews. If the media wants to sincerely oppose anti-Semitism, it could take a lesson from him.
Media spin describes Khashoggi as a dissident. And he certainly was that. But so was his friend, Osama bin Laden. What Khashoggi wasn’t, was a moderate.
Israel hasn’t turned its back on Zionism. The Jewish enablers of the PLO, of the terrorist killers, have. In an Orwellian twist, they have redefined Zionism to mean the destruction of Israel. Israel’s government, which fights for the Jewish State’s survival, is therefore anti-Zionist, while the lefties who want to destroy Israel are the true Zionists. Up is down. Left is right. And a generation of terror is peace.
There is a deep racist and anti-Semitic disease in the leadership of the Democrats as Sen. Booker brings his hatred for the Jewish State to the Senate
The campus is the canary in the coal mine. It’s where American Jews are beginning to experience a European style of anti-Semitism where the complicity of the authorities in the harassment perpetrated by a growing Muslim population and its left-wing allies leaves Jewish students uniquely vulnerable.
Either we stop the left’s assault on history or we lose our country. Every time a statue is taken down, a school is renamed, a building is vandalized, a holiday is abolished, we move one step closer to the final undoing of our history. We should not be afraid of the truth. And the truth is that history is complex.
If Israel declaring itself to be Jewish is wrong, how can the Arab and Muslim nations of the world declaring that they are Muslim and Arabic be right? The double standard is ubiquitous and has only one possible answer: There’s nothing wrong with an Arab and Muslim country, but something wrong with a Jewish country.
The media has been screaming that Trump was a traitor, when it was their man, Obama, who sold out to Putin, while President Trump held the line on missile defense without caring about what Moscow thought.
The future of American Zionism is to be found among Jews who don’t care about respectability. They’re either from insular religious communities or have the same tough Queens attitude as Trump.
As a liberal consensus vanishes, the ADL is becoming an organization with no base. The ADL is too pro-Jewish for the left and not pro-Jewish enough for the right.
As we remember Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, it is important to remember that the city is united and free because diplomacy failed. The greatest triumph of the modern state happened only because diplomacy proved hopeless and useless in deterring Muslim genocidal ambitions.
Once simple categories of 3 races and 2 genders has mutated into an infinite alphabet of identities and ethnicities--national, cultural, racial and religious--each with its own microaggressions and shows no signs of slowing down its expansion
The Jewish Press hopes that your Hanukah was joyful and illuminating.
PLO leaders and minions meanwhile made it quite clear that now the dead peace process is truly dead. A week later, the peace process is still as alive and as dead as it ever was.
France is in the middle of a civil war based on religious differences. The outcome of the war will determine whether France will be a secular republic or an Islamic state. The Jihadists have a plan for winning the war. The French authorities don’t.
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.
The purge of reformers and original thinkers is only beginning. The latest reports say that McMaster has a list of enemies who will be ousted from the NSC.
If Purim culminated with a lesson on tolerance, liberal Jews might be inclined to celebrate it. Unfortunately it ends with Jews fighting for their lives, winning and slaughtering their enemies. Not PC
Like the old Monty Python bit, the two-state solution is a 'dead parrot.' The Press 'shopkeepers' keep trying to sell us its stiff body insisting the peace process is just pining for the Oslo accords.
Left-wing groups like the AJC have sold out the Jewish community by siding with Muslims over their Jewish victims, allying with Islamic hate groups supportive not of Jews, but of the murder of Jews.
The American experiment in trying to export our own form of government to Muslims didn’t work. The Middle East still has monarchies and only one democracy, Israel, with free and open elections.
The BDS hate movement demands a boycott of Israel. It’s time instead for us to divest from Palestine. Divestment isn’t hard.
Palestine is a Potemkin village, as desolate as it was when Mark Twain visited it. Its culture is an empty building; plenty of bodies, but no soul. Palestine has no past and no future.
A Palestinian state has never existed during any period in human history. Let’s change that.
Trump excels at capturing that bar/barbershop angry reaction and it may even be completely authentic
It is not Cain's fault that he kills. It is Abel's fault that he builds.
No matter what the PLO did, you blamed Israel. Like you blamed America, no matter what the Viet Cong did.

The world was deeply moved when Arafat waddled up to the UN podium, with his gun, wearing a mismatched cotton rag on his head.
The messages from the region are as worthless as the cheerful prognostications about waves of reform from Western media men who know little of the Middle East beyond its waiters and airports.
It's still going on now. The same old courtship that has become the mid-life crisis of the West.
Obama's 6 trillion dollar debt is a testament to the high price of ignorance.
The only real things keeping American cities from going bankrupt are inertia and some fancy cultural footwork.

Every aspect of life was industrialized, regulated and militarized, but it wasn't the fictional militarization that frenzied pacifists imagine, but real life militarization.
It's about a black leadership that is more interested in posturing as angry activists and shaking loose some money than in healing the problems of their own communities.
