All symbolism, no substance: The failure of BDS
By
Boaz Golany
The anti-Israel boycott movement grabbed headlines after October 7, but it didn’t make a dent in the country’s economy
Simon Kupfer
Two Jews were stabbed – where is our government?
In the wake of murders, stabbings, and arson – UK leaders needs to do more than express ’concern’ for British Jews to feel safe again

By
Seth Farber

Chava (Patricia) Kadoche
I came to Israel for refuge. Then I saw that kippah
For many, the Palestinian flag is now inseparable from unresolved trauma. Wearing it on a Jewish headcovering makes the pain worse
Ariel Beery
The US is negotiating with Iran like a venture capitalist
America’s team of real estate developers and financiers may beat Iran’s diplomats at the bargaining table
Trump’s reckless rhetoric endangers Iranian Kurds
By
Fuad Mariwan*
By accusing us of stealing guns meant for Iranian protestors, the US has abandoned the Kurdish people and turned us into potential cannon fodder – again
Sarah Kreimer
The peace agreements that got us home
Israel has thrived under leaders who knew victory is not measured by the devastation inflicted on its enemies
Catherine Perez-Shakdam
How we forced Britain to face the IRGC

William Keenan
The Hormuz chokepoint exposes the AI chokepoint
The crisis in the Strait has made clear that the center of gravity of AI is not purely digital — it is physical
Aaron Leibowitz
Bennett’s support for civil marriage may finally align policy with practice
You can already circumvent the chief rabbinate’s monopoly, but no couple should have to
Who needs city rabbis? No one.
By
Shuki Friedman
A position built to lead communities to spiritual heights now survives as a political prize few residents even notice
Jaclyn S. Clark
Cole Allen tried to kill the US president. The internet tried to blame the Jews
Once you accept that violence in service of a cause is reasonable, the logical endgame is murder – and antisemitism is the default premise
Sherri Mandell

My love for Israel is eternal – but it’s getting harder
By
Daniel Blain
I know the arguments against speaking out: We aren’t on the front lines, Israel has enough enemies…but I don’t want my silence taken as acquiescence
