A central halachic and emotional theme of the day is to avoid diverting our minds from this national mourning.
The question now is, at what point does the spread of the disease become so bad that the only solution is to flee.
In today’s world, so defined and financed by Jew hatred both on the Left and Right, I wonder how many millions or even billions of lives will be lost, by the exclusion of Jews from places like Harvard, Yale or Columbia?
The men watched their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters struggling and collapsing under their burdens and it broke their hearts and their spirits. Pharaoh smiled and his people applauded. His plan was working perfectly.
Today, South Africa under the ANC, is one of Israel’s most implacable enemies on the world stage, something Nelson Mandela would have wept over.
The Birmingham Muslim community lobbied hard to have the match cancelled and all Israelis banned from the city. The police sought the input and opinion of the Muslim community and claimed to have pursued the same process with the Jewish community. This last point too was a complete lie. The Jews were never consulted.
Tomorrow, I am going to a shiva here in Jerusalem... I am going soon with my daughter-in-law who is related to them. Yet at this particular shiva… we all are... Their son was one of those massacred in the Bondi Beach attack. And I have to tell you that I am more than angry that this shiva and the other fifteen are happening. I am in fact furious.
I always feel sorry for Jews I know and like when I see them trying to disprove or convince people on social media that Israel did not commit genocide in Gaza or starve Palestinian babies. This is a fruitless exercise. There is simply no point at all in trying to offer rational arguments to an irrational mind.
The reason that the Left needs to promote the lie of Israeli genocide is that it absolves Hamas of the guilt of their actual genocide and it justifies their pledge of repeating it.
In the eyes of many on the Left, particularly the young, he is as big a hero to them as Princip is to the Serbs. There are virtual statues and shrines being “erected” to him across the internet.
Chaos Theory deals with systems that are highly dependent and sensitive to initial conditions. Small variations in the starting point can lead to vastly dramatic changed outcomes. Those altered outcomes may only become apparent over time.

Delgado said he felt unsatisfied in his role as Hochul’s teammate. Following public disagreements with her, he said in February 2025 that he would not seek reelection as lieutenant governor in 2026.
There is no issue that raises the temperature and polarizes Israelis more than exemptions for yeshiva bochurim serving in the army.
Israel cannot rely on regime change to ensure its security. It must aim at dismantling Iran into separate ethnic entities to ensure that, in the future, it will not become the grave menace that it was in the past.
Ranked choice voting was designed to produce victories for fringe radicals. And yes, the media showered Zohran Mamdani with uncritical praise. Finally, putting up Cuomo, a widely hated figure, as the unifying anti-Zohran figure was the worst possible choice imaginable.
Unity amongst the Jewish people, especially at a time of a threat to our very existence, is our greatest defense and persuader for Heaven to intervene on our behalf.
Macron is using the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the Iran-Israel standoff not out of genuine concern, but as tools to pander to the Muslim world
The US urgently needs to spearhead not another porous, fake "nuclear deal" but real security, stability and freedom -- not only for millions of Muslims, Christians and Jews, but also for the great people of Iran who have been forced to suffer under vicious psychopathic despots long enough.
The false claims that Israel is killing the invasive population in Gaza with hunger is false, but the massive truckloads of aid being brought in to save the Hamas supporters from a famine that doesn’t exist may be even more lethal.
Stop throwing pernicious pieties about concocted “settler violence” in Israel’s face as it fights for its life
Follow the Oil and forget what they say, just watch what they pump.
The so-called ‘No Kings’ rallies were ugly, divisive and in some cases included terrorist flags
Hamas leaders are leading safe, often resplendent lives in Qatar, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey and other comfortable countries.
Hamas leaders are in no rush to accept any deal because, unlike most of the residents of the Gaza Strip, they do not have to stand in line and risk being shot by Hamas terrorists for trying to receive food from a humanitarian organization.
The only way to prevent a civil war in Israel is to acknowledge its impending outbreak, so that steps can be taken to forestall it.
If something could possibly go wrong, unfortunately it will -- leaving Trump with the legacy of delivering yet another laughably fake peace deal and of his presidency being that of another failed Barack Obama.
Hamas is the Brotherhood and they're still here.
Most Israelis I have ever told this story to, finish the ending for me. Honestly, Israel and aliyah can drive you crazy…
Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff are being played and appear not even to know it.
Out-of-control spending on steroids
Palestinians... say that if anyone is stealing the humanitarian aid and food, it is Hamas.
Reject false equations and partisan lenses, do not hide or hide behind free speech, embrace Israeli strength, and more.
The scent coming from these old-guard European and American denizens is antipathy toward Israel. They simply cannot stomach a strong Israel.
The safety and security of Jews around the world depends on Israel winning – on regaining its strength, self-confidence, and deterrent power. This, in turn, will re-empower Diaspora Jews to defend Israel and themselves.
The Trump proposal comprises a point of singularity reflecting a sharp break from past trends, and a sober recognition of the futility of the past pursuit of some mythical Palestinian “peace partner.”
Like the anti-Trump “resistance,” the country’s liberal establishment is waging a war against the prime minister as a bid to hold on to power, not an effort to save democracy.
As recently as March 7, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Congressman Adriano Espaillat issued the following statement: Revoking federal grants to Columbia University isn’t about combating anti-Semitism; it’s about the Trump administration’s war on education and science. Suuuure it is Jerry. Try telling that to the Jewish students who faced violence and threats there since the Hamas mini-Holocaust.
As part of the deception, according to the IDF report, Hamas was working to convince Israel that it was interested in calm and was working for economic prosperity. The IDF investigation concluded that Hamas had planned the October 7 attack for more than 10 years.
The Arab plan, notably, also does not call on Hamas to lay down its weapons. Do the Arab leaders really believe that Western donors would rush to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip while terrorists belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups continue to roam the streets?
Leftists misuse the biblical book of Esther to promote the lie about Israel committing genocide when it is the Palestinians, like Hitler, Haman and Amalek before them, who seek their extermination.
The Arab countries'] refusal to take in Palestinian prisoners probably arises from the fact that these countries actually do not care about the Palestinians and even consider them an ungrateful people and troublemakers.
The notion that Trump’s refusal to let Zelenskyy dictate U.S. policy sets a precedent for the Jewish state is a partisan talking point. The two relationships have little in common.
It’s not sensitivity. It’s supremacy.
Some people in Israel are demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu step down and agree to Hamas's demand to end the war in the Gaza Strip.... These Israelis fail to understand that the October 7 massacre is just another phase of the Islamists' Jihad (holy war) against Israel.

Hochul’s proposed $252 billion budget for 2025 is $15 billion over the amount the legislature passed and $19 billion more than what she proposed last year.
There is an irony that a newspaper which has traditionally upheld the concept, practice and concept of free expression, if reader's comments are to be believed, is increasingly censoring and suppressing them.
Any deal that allows Hamas to remain in power would be disastrous for Israel, the Palestinians, and Arab states threatened by the Iran-led "Axis of Resistance" and undermine the Trump administration's credibility in the eyes of many in the Middle East. The Trump administration will appear as if it is only good at making empty threats.
Fashionable antisemitism has caused leftist myths about Israeli “oppressors” to dismiss justified anger and grief about the fate of the Bibas kids.
Restraint and rethinking are necessary in the discourse about the hostage situation. Skeptics of deals with Hamas are not “war criminals.”
The latest celebrity petition about the post-Oct. 7 war is yet another example of how the “as a Jew” crowd expresses their identity by supporting those who seek Jewish genocide.
The Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7, 2023 could have been released a long time ago had the Biden administration exerted pressure on Qatar to use its good relations with the Islamist group to force it to do so.
Three men released by Hamas looked like Nazi death-camp survivors. Israel and the United States must not allow the terrorists to survive and thrive.
On the world stage and promoted by the legacy media, the Palestinian issue is relentlessly and often callously exploited by ruthless jihadist Islamists and their sympathizers, despite the immense suffering of many innocent civilians from both parties to the conflict.
Hamas is basically saying that if the Trump administration dares to implement the relocation and reconstruction plan, the terrorist organization will unleash a wave of terrorism against Americans and Palestinians.
An executive order to deporting pro-Hamas student visa holders horrifies left-wingers. Would they defend foreigners inciting against other minorities?
The US Must Cut Ties with Qatar, Designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization
The Qataris do not want the PA in the Gaza Strip to rein in Hamas and other terrorist groups, or to prevent attacks against Israel. Instead, they want the PA to act as a front to maintain Hamas's hold on power -- as a cover for keeping Hamas in power.
The Biden-Witkoff surrender to terrorists deal gets worse.
The draft bill currently before Knesset is an outrage and a fiction at the same time; Religious Zionists demand: Give our families a 50% reduction in army service too!
Those who are morally neutral about or support the latter-day Nazis of Hamas and make false claims of genocide against Israel should remain silent on Jan. 27.
The Trump administration should factor the unique model of Judeo-Muslim collaboration between Israel and Azerbaijan, which transcends prevailing geopolitical divisions, into its foreign policy aimed at engendering enhanced international stability.
All Americans should support their president when possible and oppose him when necessary. Each side may need to do that in the coming years.
They know that Mr. Trump didn’t like them much before they tried to assassinate him. They are probably going to find that he dislikes them MUCH more the second time around.
Hamas seems to be convinced that the deal will enable it to keep control of the Gaza Strip and prepare for more massacres of Jews.
Israel will have to play along with President Trump’s priorities such as the hostage deal and a Saudi deal. If Israel does so, it will be well placed to expect a return from Trump down the line on other issues – ranging from Israeli assertion of sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria, to pushback against nasty international organizations that are at Israel’s throat, to US supply to Israel of heavy ordnance weaponry necessary for striking Iran, and more.
The Trump administration is being tricked into adopting the Biden administration's Hamas policy.
The American Historical Association’s allegation discredits them more than it does Israel. Yet it illustrates how corrupt and anti-intellectual the leftist-dominated academic world has become.
ADL’s claims that Mark Zuckerberg’s decision will harm Jews show their partisanship and liberal frustration over Trump’s defeat of the censorship-industrial complex.
Time to re-engage in the fight for Israel with passion and conviction, not apologetics or apprehension. A new film and book show the way.
America has not fallen, no more than it did when the clock struck midnight on December 31, 1912.

Hochul also expressed, as only she can, her disgust with the Electoral College, calling for it to be abolished as she presided over the 60th general proceedings of the state’s delegation to the Electoral College in Albany.
The election of Donald Trump and the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria will compel a recalibration of recalibration of France’s past policies.
Sadly, the discussion of the fate of Gaza in general, and of the “Day After” in particular, is taking on an eerily familiar look—ominously reminiscent of the discussions of yesteryear.
The perpetrators of the senility coup must be held accountable.
It would be stupid not to recognize there are plenty of good people still in the Democratic party who abhor the Squad and other of their most extreme party members.
Bashar Assad’s fall is not an opportunity for the United States to return to nation-building or foolish interventions in wars where there are no good guys.
Some sort of coalition may form or it may devolve into a full-on civil war or quite possibly some combination of the two. The one thing the Middle East isn’t known for is stability.
A leftist-dominated educational establishment and its media enablers fear that he will make good on his vow to defund institutions that embrace DEI and tolerate antisemitism.
Joe Biden did not just pardon Hunter: he pardoned himself.
Bad news for America and Israel.
America needs gratitude and fellowship now more than ever.
The ceasefire with Hezbollah won’t ensure the safety of northern Israel. But could anyone else have resisted U.S. heat for so long and achieved as much?
Offering to negotiate with Islamic terrorists is a statement of weakness.
France's adversarial attitude towards both Israel and America has regrettably been long brewing.
Liberal Jewish groups are appalled by the prospect of an administration that is unabashedly pro-Israel. That says more about them than it does about him.
The premeditated attacks weren’t provoked by Israelis. They were the inevitable consequence of a sinister red-green anti-Zionist alliance of leftists and Islamists in Europe.
Hamas should not be permitted to play any role in the Gaza Strip after the war. This would allow the terror group to rearm and regroup and prepare for another October 7-style attack on Israel.
The media quickly rushed into cover-up mode, describing it as ‘soccer hooliganism’ and a ‘clash’ involving ‘fans of an Israeli soccer team’ triggered by the burning of a PLO flag.
In this space last week, I correctly predicted a decisive win by Donald Trump in the US presidential elections and warned of a perilous transition in US-Israel relations in the lame duck days of the outgoing administration.
For Jewish students across American campuses today, joining the new student uprising and belonging to the DEI community requires denying and denouncing your people and your peoplehood. Sadly many young U.S. Jews have done so.
If we don’t want to end up like the Third World, it’s time for us to stop being ruled by it.
His private advice to Columbia University that only the GOP cared about campus antisemitism illustrates the Democratic establishment’s abandonment of the Jews.
The more you look, the more you see the connections.
In its dying days the Biden-Harris administration will be chomping at the bit to act on its most “progressive” impulses: To clobber insolent Israel and to reset US Mideast policy away from Israel.

All of the above contested races are likely to be decided by one or two percentage points. A victory will depend upon which candidate does the better job of getting out the vote.
While France is the origin of the principles of modern democracy, it has also shown a disturbing affinity for tyranny.
