From the blogs
Elie Wiesel’s son: Too many of us have again become ‘The Jews of Silence’
By
Elisha Wiesel
We have spoken up for every cause but our own, but if you think antisemitism could never happen here, take a look around
Rea Bochner
America is over. I’m moving to Israel
I don’t know if another Holocaust is possible in the US, but after what I’ve seen lately, I do believe that at some point Jews will no longer be welcome here
From the blogs
Robert Satloff
What’s wrong with the NY Times’ report on children’s deaths? So much.
It’s a one-sided article that obscured whether Hamas was an information source, which deaths were caused by ’friendly fire,’ and why Israel used force at all
Ophir Falk
The end of democracy in Israel as we know it
Putting Naftali Bennett at the helm will mark the first time in the history of democracies that someone with less than 5% voter support is made prime minister
David Harris
Hamas then, Hamas now
Two decades after a terrorist murdered 21 young people at a Tel Aviv disco, the group’s central goal is the same: The end of Israel
Manilan Houle
As antisemitism spikes we must cultivate spaces for learning and growth
This kind of hatred is not just found on the right: My Jewish friends on the left have been asking where their allies are, and it took me a while to hear them
Sharon Nazarian
Assaults, chants, vitriol: Antisemitism has reached global crisis level
The ADL is finding a harrowing spike in speech and acts targeting Jews as Jews. Governments and civil society must act now
Ruth Adar
Conversion students are asking me if it’s safe to become Jewish. This is what I tell them.
To become Jewish is to become heir to a history and a way of being in the world. When bad things happen, there’s nowhere I would rather be than with my Jewish family
Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll
Losing the Insta-fada, but winning the war
There are 14 million Jews, total. Bella Hadid has 43 million Instagram followers. We have no chance in the fight for public opinion, but it almost doesn’t matter
I will not be a lamb on the altar of your purity
By
Rachel Sharansky Danziger
Once I felt if only I explained more, if only I explained better, surely you would understand that I’m fighting for my life. Not anymore.
Ira N. Forman
In Hungary, a vicious antisemitic rant against Antony Blinken: Here’s why it matters.
The vile tirade by a mouthpiece for Victor Orban suggests that 75 years after the Holocaust, it is acceptable again to operationalize the scapegoating of Jews
From the Blogs
Gaza: 10 steps on the road not yet traveled
By
Irwin Cotler
Remove Hamas and its ilk from the picture, and Israeli-Palestinian peace is possible: two states for two peoples living side by side in peace and security
Gidon Bromberg
Water supplies, once an obstacle, can now be an impetus for peace
Ecological interdependence between Palestinians and Israelis is not just a fact, it’s potentially the basis for a roadmap to end the conflict
Steven Greenberg
Dock or no dock, we need to steer the ship towards a two-state solution
Not to be aligned with American’s (nonexistent) leftward swing, and not for the Palestinians’ sake, but because it’s Israel’s only truly viable option
Yigal Dilmoni
Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria protect all of Israel
In Gaza, we disengaged and rocketfire steadily got worse. In the West Bank, Jews remain in our ancestral land and terror groups have posed no similar threat
Dov Linzer
Is inclusion a Jewish value?
Jewish society needs a concept of ’membership,’ where the disabled, the neurodiverse, and any who are marginalized are all equal members in good standing
Daniel Polisar
Excavating the Bible: Eilat Mazar was a founder of Israel
Mazar’s excavation found compelling evidence of a 10th cent. BCE Israelite kingdom that just might have been David’s. Here’s the story of how she got started
Gila Lowell
The shield of David: A tribute to the work of Dr. Eilat Mazar ob”m
What impressed me most, a Haredi woman who teaches Torah, was not the hunch that led to her City of David excavations, but her absolute commitment to truth
From the blogs
First came the Farhud: The 2-stage ethnic cleansing of Iraqi Jewry
By
Carole Basri
Eighty years after slaughter, rape and robbery, after expulsion and dispossession, Iraqi Jews are denied access to a precious archive of their communal history
Top Ops
Barukh Binah
Why I support Isaac Herzog for president
After a wedge was driven between Israel and many US Jews, ’Bougie’ is the right person to heal the country’s painful relations with our ultimate ally
Shayna Goldberg
The time I took my own advice… and wrote a book
I wanted to write about how fear gets in the way of good decision-making. About how trust is the key. I was sure it would help people. But I was afraid
Joanna Mann
The danger of that #nosejob trend on TikTok
Today I wear my ’Jewish nose’ as a badge of honor, but it hasn’t always been that way. These videos are a nightmare for those with nose insecurities
Aaron Klein
Anti-Israel liars are inciting antisemitism
Hamas decided to launch a murderous terror campaign targeting Israelis. Somehow, that got left out of the story.
