When Israelis alone become unwelcome among the nations, history begins repeating itself. That tragedy is especially painful in Greece. 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. Denial of Jewish Jerusalem is not a dispute over archaeology, but an attempt to dispossess the Jewish people retroactively-to strip them not only of land, but of memory; not only of sovereignty, but of legitimacy. 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 Israeli and Lebanese delegations sit down in Washington on May 14 and 15, they will not be creating something new. They will be attempting to recover something very old: the idea that the Lebanese state is capable of acting in its own interest. Opinion.
For decades, Swiss banks have served as a repository for funds linked to "rogue regimes", dictators, and corrupt officials, Opinion.
Children in Israel learn to think with AI, not against it, from very young ages. The American Jewish day school system has not. And that is the problem this column is about. Opinion.
Condemning Jew-hatred while simultaneously inciting it through incendiary distortions is the mind-twisting stock in trade of the anti-Israel left. Diaspora Jewish leaders should get up off their knees and start fighting it. Opinion.

Israel will end up having to nuke the underground facility unless its destruction is part of any US-Iran agreement. Opinion.
Why is it that those who claim they are upset about Palestinian Arab lives lost in Gaza do not care about Iranian civilian lives lost in Iran? Opinion.
The lie is not merely that there is an ancient Palestinian Arab nation where history records none. The lie is that the Jews are foreign colonizers in their own ancestral homeland. Opinion.
Everything people believed was stable suddenly appears temporary. That realization is deeply uncomfortable - but perhaps it is also necessary. Opinion.
The anti-circumcision crusade is not really about medicine. It is about discomfort with Jewish distinctiveness. The real scandal is that less than a century after Europe tried to exterminate the Jews, European governments once again feel entitled to criminalize core Jewish religious life. Opinion.
One burned to destroy. One burned to endure. The third spoke, but said too little too late. Opinion.
Every Iranian marching peacefully in Berlin, Paris, or Washington represents countless others in Tehran, Shiraz, Mashhad, Tabriz, and Isfahan who are unable to protest without risking death. Opinion.
Who cultivated the wicked son, writhing in self-contempt and standing with our enemies? Who raised the simpleton, emptied of spiritual literacy, no longer able to formulate a question? Opinion.
Israelis talk of the flawed understanding of reality that allowed October 7 to occur, but US Jews labored no less under a flawed understanding of their own reality. How did this happen and what can be done? Opinion.
Israel is at war on all fronts.That’s my point. That is not news. Opinion.
When Democrats have no policy, they reach for guacamole. They tell Americans that the price of avocados is the real measure of whether the US should use its economic power against Mexican cartels, and that the price of gasoline is the real measure of whether Iran should be allowed to hold the civilized world hostage. Opinion.
Appealing to the British Government to safeguard the country’s Jews against the increasing anti-Semitic violence is like a mother rabbit imploring a fox to guard her baby bunnies. Opinion.
