From the blogs
No, no, no! The naked cynicism of the Israel-Sudan deal
By
Lynn Schler
Devoid of humanitarianism, the accord scores political points for Trump and Netanyahu and tramples the will of citizens in a fragile democracy
Edward Serotta
Terror attack in Vienna: Setting the record straight
The shooting wasn’t an anti-Semitic attack, there was only one shooter (not 6), and the people of the city rallied heroically to help each other
Steve North
We talked of peace, I stood at his grave: Yitzhak Rabin’s indelible mark on me
In our long-ago interview, Rabin foreshadowed his own tragic fate when he told me Israel would be taking a lot of risks for peace
Naomi Chazan
Jewish-Arab partnership: A way forward
This political realignment addresses decades of prejudice that have oppressed Arab citizens and undermined the inner fabric of Jewish society
Rotem A. Oreg
What’s ‘good for Israel’? Bipartisan support
Both Israel and the US would do well to move past the way Trump turned the Jewish state into a political football
The day after
By
Michael Laitman
Following US elections, the task will be to unify a fragmented society and regain the ability to rise above the differences for the common welfare
Neal Brodsky
Angels needed in America
My cousin knits socks of different sizes and shapes from multi-colored strands, and the analogy to my country and its varied needs stares me in the face
Ilana Blumberg
Absentee ballot: Living the American election from Israel
All politicians may lie and lay blame for their own failings, but the past 4 years have not been ’business as usual’; they’ve taken a real toll, even at a distance
Reuven Spolter
With the votes in, is it too late to pray for a winner?
If God experiences time as occurring all at once (even if we can’t understand how), shouldn’t I pray for what I perceive as a done deal and for God is happening right now?
When Auschwitz goes digital
By
Ilan Manor
The Holocaust memorial seems to be tweeting a scrapbook of those who died there. I can think of better, less risky, ways of using that Twitter account
Joshua Hammerman
Borat’s hidden message to Jews
If you know even a little Hebrew, you’ll catch more of Sacha Baron Cohen’s most satirical commentary, in his newest effort to smoke out bigotry wherever it may be found
Jonathan Boyarin
and
Jonah S. Boyarin
The Torah, the paupers, and the Vilna Gaon
A Yiddish story offers a crucial lesson on extending open hospitality to the poorest among us, one that has not faded in the hundreds of years since it was first told (Vayera)
Alone in a pandemic: Immigrants in Israel need to see loved ones
By
Michal Cotler-Wunsh
The corona restrictions on visits from abroad are too narrow and too specific for the varied needs of olim. I’m working to change that.
Top Ops
Stephen Bush
Corbyn condemned himself with the mural
But tolerance for anti-Semitism in the UK Labour ranks has existed for decades: That's the real problem that needs to be addressed
Jonathan Feldstein
YouTube flagged Chris Mitchell’s prayer for Israel as age-inappropriate. Huh?
The incomprehensible love note I received from the social media giant made about as much sense as saying ’It ain’t over till it’s over’
Dan Perry
The ultimate (and balanced) Trump scorecard
I’m not a fan of the US president. I think he’s a disgrace. But his actions in office are often legit, and they deserve a fair review, especially for those who are still deciding
Henry Greenspan
The American bystanders who did nothing
Where is the patriotic decency of the Senate Republicans? They have the means and power to do good – including blocking the worst of Trump; instead, they have failed us
Rachel Gould
What my concussion means for Israeli democracy
My attacker was emboldened by society’s tolerance for endemic violence against women and motivated by the PM’s divisive cult of personality
Erin Bistricer
’If he’d really abused her, the police would’ve arrested him’
When Orthodox domestic abuse victims do call the police and don’t get the help they need, community support is all the more important – and may be less forthcoming
