My thoughts on politics.
Since October 7, Israelis have been conscious that war is fought not only in Gaza, with weapons but by Hamas undermining the psyche of the Israeli public with images and stories of the atrocities it committed and continues to commit. This psychological war aims to instill fear and anxiety among Israeli citizens and to create …
Nikki Haley, during her tenure as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, demonstrated a strong commitment to Israel’s security and sovereignty. Her vocal support for Israel in international forums and her staunch defense of its right to self-defense earned her praise from many pro-Israel advocates. Additionally, Haley’s diplomatic approach often provided a more nuanced and …
In recent years, the term “woke” has permeated various aspects of society, including education. While the intention behind “woke” education may be to promote social justice and inclusivity, there are significant pitfalls that deserve scrutiny. For example, not everyone agrees that social justice and inclusivity reflect American values. Let’s delve into what’s wrong with the …
Some 30 anti-Israel Harvard students went on a 12-hour-hunger-strike. Naturally, much laughter ensued. It made not a bit of difference for the people of Gaza. Not to mention, Jews fast longer than that on Yom Kippur every year, and we’re doing just fine, thank you. The New York Post wins the award for funniest comment …
One California school district has spent a quarter of a million taxpayer dollars to teach children hate by way of a “woke” curriculum, called (what else?) “Woke Kindergarten.” The results of this curriculum? Lowered test scores. What sort of lessons does “woke” kindergarten teach? From Legal Insurrection: woke kindergarten is a global, abolitionist early childhood …
Columbia University defended its invitation to Hatem Bazian to be the keynote speaker at its “Day of Dialogue” event.

A professor at Berkeley, Bazian has called to dismantle Israel, and stated that “it’s about time we had an intifada in this country.” …
October 7 and the Hamas attack on the Jews had extreme repercussions outside Israel, for Jews everywhere. In America, in Europe, on and off campus. Protests abound, often violent, and always annoying to those inconvenienced by them, for instance, when protesters take to the streets and block traffic. There is only so much that can …
Israelis who live on kibbutzim, for the most part, are left-wing, which in Israel means they are against settlements, what they call “occupation” and believe every sacrifice of land is worth it to obtain a lasting peace. But no more. After October 7, most of them no longer believe peace is possible with Gaza. The …
Alice Walker is a renowned author known for her novel “The Color Purple,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983. The novel was subsequently made into a movie, and is now debuting as a musical. Walker’s views on Israel and Jews, however, are decidedly unsavory—Walker is an out and out antisemite who trashes …
President Biden has been lambasting Israel about the need to tamp down settler violence against Arabs. But there is no comparison between Arab violence and settler violence. A editorial in the Jerusalem Post, points this out by comparing the number of incidents emanating from either side, and the difference in attitude in these two populations: …
