Disputes and Dilemmas

Denying the Jewish Past
No one can realistically be expected to know everything about the Palestinian Arab/Israeli conflict, yet there are recurring canards that one should be prepared to address with some level of knowledge.
How I Make A Papercut
Slow and steady. Bit by Bit. Section by section, I cut out all the shapes in my sketch. I cut through both the sketch and the papers underneath.
Trump Was Not Elected to Sound Retreat
The Trump 2.0 presidency is scarcely a week old and a number of political appointees who do not share the president's agenda are now in key positions in his administration. An epic struggle, it seems, is already underway to subvert the Trump administration from within.

In One Motion, We Are Reminded That Hate Can Come From Anywhere
We need to stand against hate symbols everywhere, whether a swastika or an inverted triangle. Why? Because they are hateful, because in themselves they send a message of dehumanization.
ADL Should Not Be Defaming Trump
I am not here to defend or condemn the actions of those who entered the Capitol four years ago. But even if I did, it would not be a problem, because I am an individual and not a legacy organization of the Jewish people.

See how the U.S. State Department defines anti-Semitism.
Mossad Aims to Thwart Terrorist Attacks Abroad by Released Palestinian Terrorists
The large-scale release of high-profile Palestinian terrorists will require extensive surveillance by the Mossad to thwart potential attacks.

Fringe activists and their "positions of moral outrage" continue to be funded by the German government, with high visibility platforms to promote their blatant anti-Israel and antisemitic campaigns.
Dear Brothers, Jews of the USA!

I Knew This Day Would Come…
Prisoner releases are a terror victim’s nightmare.
The Great Unknown
The families of our hostages are preparing for two very different outcomes.

The Long Awaited Hostage Transfer: Part I
Hamas delayed the hostage release, delayed disclosing the names of who was being released. More psychological torture? Does this delay rise to the level of breaking the "ceasefire"?

Who REALLY Denied Statehood to the Palestinian People?
One of the most pervasive myths of the Palestinian protest movement is that Israel has denied statehood to the Palestinian people. To the contrary,...
Making Peace With Today’s Pharaohs
Our enemies have made it very clear to the world since October 7 that they believe Palestine should extend ‘From the river to the sea.’ In fact, they attacked the Gaza Envelope, not Judea and Samaria.
Please, Be More Polite
The most accurate and literal translation of Derech Eretz is the ways of the world. Every society establishes its own codes of conduct to ensure more polite and civilized interactions.
