The world’s breathtaking hypocrisy on Somaliland
By
Micha Odenheimer
The country suffered a 30-year boycott for the sin of separating itself from a state defined by genocidal violence and starvation – Israel righted a historic wrong
David Nekrutman
Global hate isn’t packing Jewish suitcases
For many potential immigrants, the choice isn’t between ’Israel or the Diaspora’ — it’s between ’Zionism or my mother’
Barry Finestone
Why Jews mourn Jewish strangers
With a shared story and trauma accumulated across millennia, someone who lives – and suffers – on the other side of the world can feel like family
Let me tell you about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district
By
Carly McCurry
Grievance politics, antisemitic conspiracy, and Lost Cause mythology thrive in a region marked by low educational attainment and chronic economic stress
Debbie Gross
Here’s how Israel can treat its epidemic of sexual violence
With serious funding, education, expanded treatment options, new legislation, and a governmentally assigned leader, we can tackle the staggering abuse
Karen Fink
Australia must answer this question before it investigates Bondi
Without recognizing the harm this one thing does to Jews, the commission of inquiry into the massacre will be worthless
The empty Jewiness of Marty Supreme
By
James H. Stein
When cruelty is normalized and Jewish identity and Holocaust memory are used as movie props, the loss is more than cinematic
Kevin Rachlin
Why are we still fighting about antisemitism definitions?
At this time of high anxiety about Jewish safety, it’s time to stop squabbling over words and take genuine action against threats
Why antizionism is spreading – and why it endangers Jews everywhere
By
Balázs Berkovits
Pseudo-critical theories have reimagined Jews as white oppressors. It’s time for an organized anti-antizionism movement
Fuad Mariwan*
The push for monarchism denies Iran’s multi-ethnic future
A truly democratic Iran cannot be built on the forced assimilation of Kurds, Baluchs, Arabs, and Turks; it must stand on a voluntary federation of equals
Yosef B. Moran
Was it morally right to capture Maduro?
It seemed clear that he should be brought to justice for the collapse of Venezuela – but then the US started talking about oil
The outrage is selective. The reality Is Venezuelan
By
Peter Himmelman
Those who condemn Maduro’s capture are quick to cite international law. Where is their outrage on behalf of the people crushed by his regime?
Sagit Sade Attia
New York’s new politics of erasure
It’s not a fresh start, but institutionalized amnesia, in which minority groups lose their protections and violence waits in the wings
Shimon Sheves
How to save Zionism from itself? Partner with Mansour Abbas
The opposition’s refusal to work with the Arab Ra’am party will push Israel to cross its final red lines and become a religious, fundamentalist autocracy
Family history, forgetting, and the American Dream
By
Reuben Glassenberg
My ancestors, perhaps ashamed of how my great-great-grandfather died, may have wanted to erase his memory. I insist on remembering him
Elisha Fine
Street ‘tefillah’
‘Stickering’ city streets with pictures of Oct. 7 hostages – and re-stickering after they are torn down – has become an enduring, inspiring Jewish ritual
Mijal Bitton
What Dr. Robby’s Jewish star on ‘The Pitt’ teaches me
With ’the Surge’ of Jews who doubled down on Jewish life after October 7th, I saw why opting out of Judaism doesn’t quite work (Vayechi)
Susya: An ancient synagogue and a modern tragedy
By
Bill Slott
What does an archeological treasure located in the middle of a bitterly contested tract of land mean? It’s not what some Jews think
Top Ops
Catherine Perez-Shakdam
The end of obedience in Iran
Iranians have taken to the streets and exposed the truth: Their rulers are staying in power only thanks to fear and inertia
Alan P. Gross
Happy New Year. Now what?
With elections coming up, 2026 gives Israelis an opportunity to ask themselves where they want the country to be a year from now
Beeta Benjy
The mechanics of defiance
If Israelis can dance in the rain while the world condemns them, then despair loses its foothold. Joy becomes an act of insurrection, the physical insistence on life
Tammy G. Pectold
Is AI training us to stop thinking?
It can curate what comes out of my mind. Sound like me, but better. It takes my voice away to polish my words. The problem is, I love it
