‘Give Me Your Children’: Voices From The Lodz Ghetto
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opened an exhibit last week remembering the children of the Lodz Ghetto.
Selective Horror
It is good to bring police brutality out in the open but has anyone heard media discussing the tens of youths who were tortured and never indicted over the supposed attack on Duma? Don’t the continued arsons in Duma demand the release of the detained youths?
Plenty to Give Thanks For–Dayenu!
In grand perspective, see how many benefits and blessings the Heavens have showered upon Israel! It enjoys a strong economy, coronavirus and political stability (at least for the past year), diplomatic and security heft, renewed Aliyah, national resilience that stems from faith, and global Jewish support.
When The “Ceremony Of Innocence Is Drowned”: Israel’s Vulnerability To Worldwide Anarchy
William Butler Yeats, the great Irish poet, wrote prophetically of a time in which "the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned." Here he revealed what still seems to elude historians, diplomats and scholars: In the not-too-distant future, there will come a moment in which there will be no safety in treaties or in armaments, no help from "civilization," no counsel from public authority, and no rescue from science.
The War Of Miracles
the Six-Day War became the war that military experts cannot logically explain. I call it “The War of Miracles.”
INTO THE FRAY – Modi in Israel: Bonding the Biggest & Most Beleaguered Democracies
Clearly reflecting the impact of the change in Indian policy towards Israel was the chagrin expressed by the Palestinian envoy to New Delhi: “We were shocked…”
A Desirable Jewish Zip Code: 1
The famous, quote,"Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it" is the reason behind the annually commemorated holiday of Tisha B'Av. The Jewish people has not yet healed its divisions. Until we do so, we will continue to observe Tisha B'Av
Obama’s Forked Tongue
American Jews who go gaga for Obama are first and foremost “Liberals of the Mosaic Persuasion”
Iran Policy Committee On Growing Iranian Nuclear Threat To Israel
The following remarks on Iranian nuclearization were delivered by Professor Louis Rene Beres at the National Press Club, Washington DC, May 10, 2006, on behalf of the Iran Policy Committee. They were televised nationally and internationally, including in Iran where, via the Iranian resistance movement, they were viewed by millions.
Commemorating The Start Of World War II
The official beginning of World War II was September 1, 1939. On that day German soldiers invaded Gdansk after bombarding the city with a military warship. As part of the Polish Government's official series of events marking seven decades since the start of World War II, Poland's Jewish community and the Jerusalem-based "Shavei Israel" organization held a special ceremony yesterday in the Gdansk synagogue to commemorate the outbreak of the war, which paved the way for the Holocaust.
Looking for anti-Semitism in All the Wrong Places
Criticizing George Soros doesn’t necessarily make you a Jew-hater.
On IDF Refusals To Follow Orders: The Interlocking Perspectives Of National Law, International Law...
In Claude Lanzmann's monumental documentary, SHOAH, one of the surviving leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising remarks: "If you could lick my heart, it would poison you." Sadly, the time may still come - if Prime Minister Olmert is permitted to continue following Washington's cartography - that surviving Israelis will someday express similar sentiments.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: Congressman Pascrell, Repudiate the Gaza 54 Letter
I am mystified as why you broke with close to 90% of Congress, voting to condemn Israel for imposing a blockade on Gaza. Surely you do not want to see Israeli children with their limbs blown off. Surely you do not want to see Hamas possessing the instruments to execute suspected Palestinian “collaborators” without trial. But without Israel stopping war materials from entering Gaza, more innocent Israelis and Palestinians will be murdered in the most gruesome way.
To Learn From The Jews: President Barack Obama and The Lamed-Vav
Human interdependence and generalized compassion, integral to a universalized Judaism, are indispensable to species survival. In this respect, President Barack Obama seemingly understands something very Jewish: The state of our now-tormented American union is intimately intertwined with the state of our whole world.
Why Are Palestinians ‘Disappearing’ in Saudi Arabia?
It is only Palestinians who are held by Israel for terrorist-related crimes who Abbas and his friends remember to mention in their endless litanies of complaints.
Path to Victory: How Israel Can Win the Palestinian Conflict
The right policy is to convince West Bankers, Gazans, and Muslim Jerusalemites that Israel is tough and permanent and that they have lost and should give up the war on Israel. Convince them to abandon their fantasy of eliminating the Jewish state of Israel.
INTO THE FRAY: For America: Respite – NOT Redemption
For America, and everything that made it America, the results of Tuesday’s election are a welcome and necessary respite - but are far from being a lasting redemption
Ascending the Temple Mount for the First Time
My first “aliyah” this week to “Har HaBayit” was scary, emotional, fascinating, and infuriating. And necessary.
After Afghanistan
It is very doubtful that Obama, whose big plan for Afghanistan was to copy the Bush plan for Iraq that he denounced in the Senate, has a backup plan. Brennan certainly does not.
The Palestinian Jihad Summer Camps
They have enough funds to launch camps to brainwash and indoctrinate their own children, but are not prepared to invest in rebuilding homes that were destroyed or damaged during the last Israel-Hamas war.
Egypt Blockades Gaza – Where Are the Flotillas?
The activists do not care about the Palestinians' suffering as much as they are interested in advancing their anti-Israel agenda. They rarely have anything good to offer the Palestinians.
Will the West Bank Become the Next Islamic Emirate?
Those who think that Hamas and other Islamic groups do not have a strong presence in the West Bank are completely detached from reality. True, these groups are lacking in arms and ammunition in the West Bank, but they still enjoy broad public support among Palestinians.
Democrats Legalized Crime, Thousands Died
At the local supermarket, staff have been told not to interfere with shoplifters. The new system abolishes private property by legalizing theft.
Iran’s Palestinian Proxies: United Against Israel
This is not a good guy/bad guy scenario. Instead, it is a temporary rift between two extremely bad guys, both of whom are wholly committed to destroying Israel, even if that means destroying their own people along the way as well.
Why Private Speech Doesn’t Tell Us About a Person’s Character
As a Jew, I don't care what you think about Jews. I only care about how you treat Jews.
INTO THE FRAY: Gaza-A Gigantic Shift in the ‘Overton Window’
What once was unthinkable is now moving to the center of mainstream thought
If George Santos Should Resign, So Should Biden
Why an obscure New York freshman congressman’s lies should be a national focus and not the president repeatedly telling crazy lies whose scope is entirely incomprehensible is one obvious question.
