today’s existential crisis in Israel and in diaspora communities will not disappear or dissipate by themselves. It will take time, and the will of HaShem.
Wolf’s interview is a wake-up call for American Jews. Something is missing in Jewish/Zionist education when Wolf and those like her can so easily turn their backs on their people and heritage.
The critical point is that Israel is fighting to safeguard not just its own nation, but the West and the Free World as well. The battle at the moment seems between preserving freedom or having it extinguished by the forces of barbarism, autocracies, and theocrats, but most of all by the passivity of the West

Biden went out and demonstrated that he belongs in an old age home. He confirmed what we all knew, live. For 90 minutes.

By Daniel Pipes
Palestinians, in other words, are not an aboriginal, autochthonous, first, indigenous, or native people; most of them are as recently arrived as Zionists. They are also as ethnically diverse.
By Ben Cohen
The act of misogyny is a grotesque means for men to remind women of their physical power. It’s also an act of dehumanization, like it was on Oct. 7.
Asking Israel to do nothing against Hamas and Hezbollah after eight months of escalating aggression is akin to asking the United States, after the 9/11 attacks, to leave Al Qaeda untouched and allow it to remain in power.
Israel has made eliminating the threat from the Gaza-based militant group a central war aim, but it’s not entirely clear at what point that condition will be met.

As traumatizing as it had been, we had to experience slavery if we were to work to abolish it later on, when we were no longer the ones enslaved. We had to know what it was like to live under oppression, if we were to fight for justice in the years ahead.
What explains President Joe Biden’s anti-Israel actions since Oct. 7? Painfully, the facts require that we recognize that it’s Biden’s longstanding animus toward the Jewish State.

During war, as during peace, language and terminology create attitudinal truth.
This warped cultural narrative creates the ludicrous scene of gay people supporting Hamas murderers, even though Hamas terrorists would gladly toss them off a roof and drag their bodies through the street. But to people blinded by intersectionality, facts don’t matter.
