The desecration of Israel
By
Yossi Klein Halevi
In boosting Otzma Yehudit, Netanyahu has validated Kahanism, an apocalyptic racist theology that sanctifies hatred and vengeance
Benjamin Lau
To my community I say this is a terrible stain
I stand by what I told my congregants this Sabbath: The Otzma Yehudit party is based on race theory and this should horrify us
Zev Farber
Smotrich for education minister – and 4 other jokes
Appointing a self-described ’proud homophobe’ for the post would be hilarious if Netanyahu hadn’t actually proposed it
Shayna Abramson
Religious-Zionism is dead
A platform to oppress Palestinians is a violation of Judaism, and putting it on the ballot means our attempt at a Jewish state has failed
Shlomo Brody
That Kahanist merger is very bad, but not as bad as you think
Religious-Zionists are not unified in their opinions and did not vote as a bloc even before this realpolitik alliance betrayed the values of the movement
Noah Siegel
I’m glad I got Michael Ben Ari banned from the US
As a US consular officer in Tel Aviv, I concluded that the Otzma leader, with his ties to a terrorist group, was a danger
The gender revolution in Israel that wasn’t
By
Elana Sztokman
My great hope for the kind of real-world leadership this country needs fizzled with the return of the generals and their expertise at war
Joshua Berman
Blacks, Palestinians and the disastrous politics of rage
African American conservatives have a message worth heeding on the corrosive effects of playing the victim card
Ben-Tzion Spitz
Israel is responsible for the Chief Rabbi of Argentina
The brutal attack on Rabbi Davidovich highlights Israel’s obligation to provide security to Jewish communities worldwide
Justin Amler
To soar among the heavens
I look at my people, where they have been, and yet what they achieve, and I am convinced that the era of miracles continues unabated
Jonah Rubin
No one thinks cadavers should receive medical care
Defining brain death as certain biological death is not simple, and the law takes that into account
Stephen Horenstein
7 faces of Jerusalem
These portraits in sound capture the hours of a day in the city, from the muezzin to birdsong to the explosion of traffic
David Sedley
James Bruce and the Ark
Hiding the Ark away, whether in the warehouse of ’Raiders of the Lost Ark’ or in the inner chamber of Solomon’s Temple, seems exactly the right place for it
Rebecca Bardach
My complicated Jewish-Arab ’hood of Abu Tor
Is it coexistence when even my 8-year-old can see that ’the city doesn’t care about the people’ who live over there?
My mother escaped a Nazi boxcar
By
Edwin Black
The first sounds my granddaughter heard were not from Sesame Street, but the very sounds the Nazis worked so hard to extinguish
Top Ops
Joshua S. Finkelstein
What I learned when my wife wanted to say Kaddish
We found an afternoon minyan in Orthodox Monsey NY where goodwill overcame our marked differences
Yoni Leviatan
Israel is a centrist country
Combine deep socialist roots with grave security concerns and you get citizens who buck the usual left-right divide
Lisa Liel
To Bibi and the Likud: Please sit this one out
Our best bet to keep Gantz and Lapid out of power is by letting the fresh approach of Moshe Feiglin’s Zehut Party take its turn
Dan Perry
The Labor Party may have handed Bibi the election
Avi Gabbay’s refusal to merge with Meretz means thousands of votes for the left could potentially go down the drain
