Two years after the moral panic set off by the death of George Floyd, American Jews need to confront the way the BLM movement and the ideologies that underpin it enable hatred of Jews.
Despite the impulse to blame Netanyahu and the usual targets of left-wing scorn, the real answer is the growing popularity of theories like intersectionality that sanction anti-Semitism.
One of the reasons the conflict with the Palestinian Arabs has dragged is that Israel has failed to conceptualize the conflict accurately.
As noted earlier, this was not only a hate-filled speech; it was a speech of the Big Lie. The Big Lie of white supremacy as a major threat to America generally and to black America specifically.
A few weeks ago disaster struck, Elon Musk bought Twitter and started tweeting several patently obvious truths, like the fact Twitter has a clear Leftist bias and many others.

Whoever wins that race will have to battle it out again in November under the newly adopted district lines. The newly drawn district runs from the Massachusetts border to Ithaca, taking in nine counties and parts of two others.
… the tough get going. When this country is under attack, Israel’s friends need to be more determined than ever to defend it.
Will the Biden administration will continue with its benighted policy of appeasing the mullahs or heed the insistent wake-up calls of America's real allies?
Israel has good reason to fear that Abdullah and Biden are cooking-up an attempt to impose new pro-Arab “arrangements” on the Temple Mount, with Biden coming to Israel in late June to ride herd on this issue. Note: King Abdullah has no claim to “custodianship” over Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
As the Biden administration continues to bring executive incompetence to yet unplumbed depths, any fair-minded person must feel increasingly compelled to question the authenticity of the 2020 poll
The world knows only how to criticize and demonize Israel. What a shame. But at least Jews should know and appreciate Israel’s humanity. On Yom Haatzmaut, we can all add this to our calculations of kevod shamayim and kiddush Hashem (the glorification of G-d’s name in the world) that has been wrought by the State of Israel.
When the will of 2% of the country is imposed on the other 98%.
The simmering conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia over the construction of a massive dam could have grave ramifications
The great irony in this instance is that the Left labels as an act of hate a man giving a speech titled “Creating Moral Leaders in Children” at a religious Jewish institution.

We are witnessing the crumbling of presumed alliances and the blurring of heretofore supposed friends and foes.
Israel seems to exist in two parallel, contradictory worlds. One is a false, hackneyed, out-of-date, and threatening universe where recalcitrant and violent Palestinian leaders are venerated, and admirable Israeli leaders are criminalized. The other universe is real, promising, forward looking, and stabilizing, and is marked by a peace dynamic that runs from Jerusalem to Dubai, Manama, Rabat, Cairo and Amman; and from Jerusalem to the most important leaders in the world.
The meeting in the Negev with officials from the Arab world is historic. But while helpful, these new allies don’t solve the problem created by Biden’s appeasement of Iran.
Putin pretends to be a loose cannon, but Trump can actually pull it off. Trump understands that Putin is bluffing and therefore he can be bluffed, which is why we wouldn't be dealing with this whole mess if 2020 had turned out differently.
Biden wants to protect every border except our own.
A combination of Holocaust minimization and exploitation, which quickly becomes inversion with the Ukrainians as the new Jews and the Jews as the apathetic people ignoring genocide.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides isn’t just out of touch with the reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He sees his job not as fostering good relations, but telling Israelis what they can and cannot do.
Instead, it Got a Smear Campaign From the Ukrainian Leader
Caught in the diplomatic and media crossfire caused by the Russian invasion, the disproportionate attention the Jewish state gets has many causes, but is also linked to anti-Semitism.
If the Left were concerned with what is in America’s interest, it would not advocate — and, under Biden, implement — policies to change America from an energy-independent country into an energy-dependent country.
Putin’s ally President Assad of Syria has repeatedly used chemical weapons in his country. This was the famous 2012, “Red Line” that Obama warned them not to cross and then did absolutely nothing about when they did.
It is even more absurd when one considers the countries Russia allegedly fears will invade them. Which one of their Western-border countries – Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine – is likely to invade Russia?
Erdogan needs to be handled cautiously and, yes, respectfully. He also needs to be cut down to size.
As far as Hamas is concerned, the weaker the US the greater are their chances of fulfilling their goal of replacing Israel with an Islamic state.
Part of the reason for the rush to re-enter a pact that will guarantee that Tehran gets a nuclear weapon is to put Iranian oil on the market. That’s a disaster for everyone.
Biden doesn’t want the invasion to go to waste, he wants to use it.
Legal proceedings are being carried out with scant regard for the law. In some cases, the law is blatantly disregarded; in others, factual evidence is ignored; in yet others, infractions are invented to fabricate charges. All cases have been approved by the courts.
Self-reliance is the key to security. Israelis must understand that they should avoid being put in a position where, like the Ukrainians, they must rely on fickle international sympathy.
Most Americans see themselves as protectors of the weak against bully nations. This is the first time in our lifetime that America has abandoned that role.
Prominent Arab political analysts, commentators and journalists are continuing to express fear about Iran's "expansionist" schemes in the Arab countries, especially Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. They say that they are worried that a return to the JCPOA would further embolden the mullahs in Tehran and the Iranian-backed terrorist groups.
Ruin the lives of those who dare disobey Justin Trudeau.

When the Israelis liberated all of Jerusalem in 1967, they kindly allowed the tenants to continue living there. The Arab squatters took advantage of the Israeli beneficence, and many of them either stopped paying the ridiculously low rent asked of them, or built on the land illegally-- or both
Regulation is freedom; Freedom is authoritarianism.
The Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the second largest and hugely influential group in the Gaza Strip after Hamas, does not believe that the conflict with Israel is over Jerusalem, settlements, borders, checkpoints or Palestinian prisoners.
The leaders of Hamas and PIJ left scorched earth behind them and chose to lead luxurious lives in Doha, Istanbul and Beirut. Strangely, however, instead of hiding their faces in shame, they are calling from their gyms, jets, and jacuzzis for the Palestinians to pursue the fight against Israel.
Celebrities eagerly organized donations to free race rioters and criminals, but are unwilling to accept responsibility when the BLM fund they backed releases an assassin. The creator of "Hamilton," rappers, actors, and TV stars all donated.
With the Iran nuclear deal about to be restored, administration apologists claim that the problem is the former president’s fault. But the “experts” that blast him are wrong.
The choreography of history that brings various essential elements together at the right moment to provoke us to react and change, is one of the recurring themes of the story of the Jewish people.

New York City officials have squirreled away $1 billion in a rainy-day fund over the past two years, fearing a multi-billion-dollar budget deficit in the coming years.
Two new studies warn of radicalization among Arab Israelis and urge robust government action.
The depiction of a teacher who was fired by a synagogue for flaunting her anti-Zionism as a martyr to free speech illustrates the mainstreaming of hatred for Israel.
Under the current circumstances, the Biden administration is stating that it wants to facilitate Abbas' creation of another Arab dictatorship that suppresses public freedoms and sanctions torture and intimidation.
The problem isn’t that the person they hired to do outreach was a left-wing Twitter troll. It’s that ADL accepted intersectional ideology about racism and is dividing Jews along racial lines.
When censors pretend to be free speech activists.
Denying Islamic terrorism is the real delusion.
To most Americans the answer is clear: Thomas is cheating.
What Amnesty has done with this report is to bastardize, adulterate, and weaponize the principles of human rights to provide cover for Palestinian elites...
By Marc Gronich
The governor maintains that wearing masks and getting booster shots is the main reason for the positive downward trend in hospitalizations.
The ADL’s idea of “Jewish Outreach” is an identity politics hire who spends her time castigating Jews for opposing critical race theory and intersectionality because of its inherent antisemitism.
As the idea of a “Jewish seat” once made clear, seeking diversity on the Supreme Court is defensible. But a process that is only about race and gender creates more problems than solutions.
What's wrong with EastMed and Keystone that isn't wrong with Russia's NordStream 2?

The Jewish people's inalienable right to the Land of Israel is not only biblical but is rooted in internationally recognized legal treaties and documents beginning a century ago.
Since each side regards the other as anti-science, what is the science?
Woke culture demands ritual acknowledgements about Native Americans. Those, however, who think this should also apply to Palestinians don’t understand that Jews are indigenous in Israel.
While Democrats go after dead Confederate generals, we ought to look at living Soros generals.
The Palestinian leadership apparently does not want to assume any responsibility for its people in the Arab world because that would mean spending money on them and providing them with various services. Palestinian leaders would, it seems, rather keep the money for themselves than assist their own people.
What do you do when there’s no one left to hate?
On Chanukah 2002, four Hercules planes bearing hundreds of people evacuated from Africa landed in Israel. The passengers included Israeli families who had been vacationing in Kenya, some alive, some wounded, and some children returning to their homeland in small coffins.
In the last few weeks, the Jewish people as a whole, and the religious community in particular, has experienced a trauma which has been simply enormous and appalling.
If people are basically good, what is the Torah for? What are all the commandments for? If people are basically good, why would God need to command us ...?
You have to be living on a different planet not to understand that when a hostage taker goes into a Jewish synagogue, on the Jewish Sabbath, and holds the rabbi and congregants at gun point, he is intentionally targeting Jewish people with violence.
The Texas hostage-taker wanted to release an anti-Semitic terrorist whose freedom is sought by Muslim groups. Is it Islamophobic to discuss who might have inspired the incident?
The civil-rights hero’s beliefs are irrelevant to partisans who invoke his legacy and rejected by woke activists besotted with critical race theory.
Sheldon Adelson wasn’t like the others on the Forbes’ list of the world’s wealthiest people. He cared about Israel and the Jews, and didn’t care if his efforts to help the Jewish state thrive made him unpopular.
Freedom reigns...for now, at least
Talk about goblins in the series about magical wizards being stand-ins for Jews or the product of anti-Semitic memes is a distraction from a necessary discussion of real Jew-hatred.

Hochul’s Pledge New York is a rough and tumble landscape politically, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul wants to portray the image that she is no shrinking violet. “Don’t worry about me. I am in a very good mental, physical and emotional place right now because the people of New York need me and I’m […]

We are faced with a lockdown on speech the likes of which have never been seen in America. And the parallels with Germany are even more stark.
The pandemic made us an even lonelier nation.
Kyle reminds us that any American can stand up to evil. And win.
In 1941, the condition of European Jews continued to deteriorate.
There are only two possibilities regarding Finance Minister Liberman's involvement in what has become known as the "Yisrael Beiteinu affair"; neither bodes well for Israel.
The Summit for Democracy shows how much Biden and Kamala hate the USA.
Claims of a spike in settler violence made headlines while “routine” terror attacks, including murder by Palestinian Arabs against Jews, are downplayed or treated as justified.
By Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
Northern Jerusalem is a critical front in the Arab drive to take over parts of Jerusalem and then form yet another Arab country in the Land of Israel.
“Wisdom begins,” both Psalms and Proverbs teach, “with fear of G-d.” In other words, no G-d, no wisdom.
At the local supermarket, staff have been told not to interfere with shoplifters. The new system abolishes private property by legalizing theft.
The demonization of Israel by so many journalists, officials and so-called human-rights groups leaves little time to ask why a Palestinian in Lebanon is not permitted to practice medicine while a significant portion of the medical staff at Israeli hospitals consists of Arab doctors and nurses.
Obama fundamentally transformed the military the way that he did the country.
If you think even this list overstates the problem, put any of these statements on any mainstream social media platform and see what happens.
Hamas leaders dissemble LESS than many of their own apologists in the West, who claim that they understand Hamas better than Hamas understands itself.
“To say that Jews were subject to restrictions that would not allow them to prosper and live in the Middle East is just nonsense.”
By Marc Gronich
She also has to keep up her mantra of being responsible for the most transparent state government New Yorkers have ever seen. This goal appears to be a work in progress.
There may well be things more depraved than an Israeli minister soliciting funds for a self-declared mortal foe, but none comes readily to mind
You can meet happy and unhappy liberals and happy and unhappy conservatives, but you are unlikely to ever meet a happy leftist.
Instead of welcoming the UK's decision to ban Hamas, Abbas was one of the first Palestinians to condemn the move. By condemning the decision, Abbas is sending a message to the international community that he actually does support terror and Hamas.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to the Tomb of the Patriarchs was a reminder of both Jewish rights and the intractable and irrational nature of a conflict that Palestinians don’t wish to end.
Bidentiochus’ Chanukah gift to the Jews is an Islamic terrorist consulate in Jerusalem.

nce again, the world struggles, and fails, to understand that there is no essential difference between Zionism – the movement to restore a national Jewish presence in the Holy Land – and Judaism. It is impossible to be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic, and vice-versa.
It will take a long time to repair the damage that the machinations used to ensconce the current coalition have wrought.
The administration is already floating new concessions while the Iranians are flouting international nuclear monitors. Washington has lost the game before it started, and Israel is clearly on its own.
Biden abandoned Americans to protect his deal with the Taliban. The deal isn’t over yet
