Although Mayor Mamdani’s deep-seated problems with things Jewish emerged during his mayoral campaign, we saw a ray of hope, however faint, when he pledged to retain the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism established by his predecessor, Eric Adams.

Liberal media in the West mostly treated this not as a revolt against Islamist rule but as an “economic protest,” a spasm of hardship and inflation, as if the central fact – that millions of Muslims were openly rejecting political Islam – was too impolite to honestly report.

A democracy that bans some anti-system actors while indulging others ceases to defend principle and begins to enforce raw political preference.

Last month, Vance rejected the notion that antisemitism is growing within the Republican Party, arguing that the focus should be on broader issues and not on internal fighting.

Is it permissible to pressure someone to sell property they do not want to sell? May one try to obtain a job or position already held by another?

Chazal teach us that tree planting is the best way to emulate and draw close to G-d (V”R 25:3). Hashem planted trees when He created the world, and we are commanded to do so upon entering Eretz Yisrael.

I didn’t want her to hurt herself, but sometimes it hurts more to be denied opportunities for enjoyable, meaningful experiences.

Size matters, more than even many of Israel’s friends and supporters appreciate.  To describe Israel as a small country is to understate the issue. The Jewish State is about the same size as the state of New Jersey. The West Bank is a little smaller than Delaware. Gaza is roughly twice the size of Washington, D.C.

By giving Turkey a formal executive role in the reconstruction of Gaza, the Trump administration is effectively laundering a major Hamas political patron.

The Birmingham Muslim community lobbied hard to have the match cancelled and all Israelis banned from the city.

The idea of the book is to show exactly how to identify and then run a business in the field of your dreams. I show readers, based on my own experience as an entrepreneur, how they can master the mindsets and skill sets of successful small businesspeople.

There is no ambiguity here. No mistranslation. No context that softens the meaning. This is not the rhetoric of a partner for peace or the language of a movement committed to a peaceful future.

Instead of establishing a state commission of inquiry under the existing legal framework, one in which the president of the Supreme Court appoints the commissioners and defines their independence, the government has opted for a politically constituted body.

Like their Cold War predecessors who were stunned by the sudden Soviet crackup, the liberal intellectual class is imprisoned by a narrative that rules out the possibility of Islamist regime change.

Everyone is elderly, and most have gray hair, but their eyes shine, especially when they speak of their past.

Yet, even as she railed against the demonstrators, she was careful not to say anything about the substance of their message – which was decidedly anti-Israel – only about the manner in which they chose to deliver it.
