Iran is a young country with a highly educated population whose professional and civic ambitions have been systematically crushed by a regime that views indigenous talent as a threat to be managed rather than a resource to be cultivated. This is an opportunity not to be missed. Opinion.

The Shabbat 250 proclamation is not merely a gesture: it is a response that recovers the original spirit of the Constitution. The enemies of the Jewish people rejected it. The guardians of history applauded. Those who love the free world rejoiced.

Jerusalem appears in the Jewish Bible 669 times and Zion 154 times, and not once by name in the Qu'ran.

Opinion.
I am trying to write this without crying. Alas I am failing. 10,000 photos, 1800 hours of video, 430 witnesses. One Shabbat morning. The festival of Simchat Torah. Hamas and - let’s not forget the many Gazan civilians - turned a Jewish holiday into a fiesta for savages.
The propaganda effort to disassociate Jews from Israel and Jerusalem is absurd. International Law, the Bible, Quran (5:21 and 17:104) and history recognize the rights of the Jewish People to Israel. So did President Trump.

When “Zionist" becomes culturally understood shorthand for something sinister, Hollywood no longer needs explicit antisemitism. The implication does the work. When Shane Gillis hosted a show aired live on Netflix, he used the word that way and Chelsea Handler fell for it. Op-ed.
Two stories that do much to shed light on the cruel nature of the British Mandate and the crimes committed against young Zionists are the cases of 16-year-old Alexander Rubowitz and Yaacov Eliav. Op-ed.
