From the blogs
Why this fractious coalition gives me hope
By
Yossi Klein Halevi
If all it achieves is to liberate Israel from those who have tried to unravel the delicate balance between nationalism and democracy, decency and power, then dayenu – it’s enough!
Yohanan Plesner
This government can beat expectations and even achieve historic change
From passing a budget and ending toxic discourse to ensuring that a slim 61 majority of MKs can’t trample democracy, Israelis could soon feel the change
Dan Perry
Israel’s Biden moment
With Netanyahu’s exit, Israelis might not get peace, but they can finally hope for competent governance, respect for norms, and the absence of a personality cult
Elie Weinstock
My friend Naftali is now Israel’s prime minister
We met when the Bennetts came to services at Manhattan’s KJ congregation and discovered a Judaism that, like Avraham’s tent, is open to all
Daniel Landes
A time for shame
When rabbis and political hacks unabashedly and loudly proclaim that the new government is illegal, un-Jewish and evil, we know what they mean
Biden’s plan for no-strings funding to the Palestinians is a win for terrorism
By
Jim Inhofe
I’ll work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure that US aid furthers American interests, and doesn’t enrich those who attack American friends
Ilai Z. Saltzman
Netanyahu’s scorched earth anti-Biden rant
In his fiery Knesset speech, the disgruntled outgoing PM doubled down on partisanship and defied a US request to keep disagreements private
Oded Eran
Smoke to the east of us: Is Jordan on fire?
Israel’s new government must take decisive measures to help douse the flames posing a grave threat to Hashemite stability
Gary Rosenblatt
Why Benjamin Netanyahu treated the Jewish media with contempt
Whether because he figured we were in his pocket or dismissed our readers – American Jews – as irrelevent, the PM was often downright rude
Nancy Cahners
Trying hard to trust
There are so many stories of Arabs and Jews hurting each other. In moving to Israel, I try to be on the team that adds to the goodwill part of the ledger
Bennett and Herzog were born to bridge the Israel-Diaspora chasm
By
Adam S. Ferziger
The PM and president-elect, both sons of Anglo-immigrants, know American Jewry first-hand and are uniquely qualified to reset the troubled relationship
Omer Yankelevitch
Israel and world Jewry: It should be a love story
The new government must invest in the full diversity of the Jewish people, globally; the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs has laid the groundwork to do so
Danny Danon
We must intensify our war against antisemitism
We need a clear strategy that includes education, advocacy, and legislation that punishes perpetrators of hate crimes to make the world safe for Jews again
Brandy Shufutinsky
Why did BLM hop on the BDS wagon? Follow the money
Someone at Black Lives Matter decided time was running out on their ability to profit off of Black pain and adopted the UNRWA moneymaking playbook
Rafaella Gunz
Clubhouse’s antisemitism problem
Once on stage, a person will simply start screaming, ‘Kill the Jews!’ or ‘Free Palestine’ or ‘Zionist pigs’ until the moderators scramble to kick them out
Todd L. Pittinsky
From eyewitness to iWitness
Can technology reveal the Holocaust’s evil to the many young people who have not heard of it, or aren’t sure what it is, or, worse, believe vicious lies about it?
Zack Rothbart
The bizarre true story of Israel’s first government
Given the rich and colorful diversity of the inaugural Knesset, it is fitting that a movie theater with 1,100 luxurious, upholstered seats became its home
My Mizrahi mom and why Pride matters
By
Rachel Wahba
She survived the Farhud massacre, struggled with terminal cancer, and once said the worst trauma in her life was finding out her daughter was a lesbian
Top Ops
Shane Gericke
Go big or go home: A radical new plan for Middle East peace
Egypt gives Sinai to Gaza, Israel withdraws from East Jerusalem, Jordan becomes Palestine and peace is ushered in because whoever dares wins
Benji Levy
A religious moment in Zionist history
The swearing-in of Israel’s first observant prime minister marks the return of Religious Zionism as a transformative worldview anchored in the Jewish moral compass
Brian Schrauger
Mike Evans, unmasked
At the first sign of the Jewish state defying his distorted convictions of how it should behave, he trots out antisemitic tropes to convey his disapproval
Shira Koch Epstein
When Jews won’t set foot in a synagogue, rabbis must think like entrepreneurs
The pandemic put regular religious services and programming on hold, paving the way for much needed rabbinic innovation
