My thoughts on politics.
Ben & Jerry’s founders say the Unilever sale of its ice cream franchise to Israeli licensee Avi Zinger, violates its acquisition agreement with the company. Zinger is, at present, free to market the ice cream to both Jews and Arabs in all parts of Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, didn’t want …
In response to what can only be called a highly antisemitic NY Times article on Chassidic yeshivas, many Jews are speaking out. Note that not all are religious—it’s just that they recognize antisemitism when they see it. The danger is real, with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party pushing a socialist, anti-religion agenda. It …
Eyal Haddad has been butchered and murdered by Mohamed Dridi, his Muslim roommate, with an axe, in France. But you wouldn’t know about it from reading the news. Not in the States and not in Europe. French Jewish community leaders and European Jewish organizations are trying to get authorities to investigate. It’s hard to imagine …
Jews in many US locations found antisemitic flyers and letters in their driveways and on their doorsteps this week. The items are delivered at night, an unpleasant wakeup surprise for the Jewish recipients. Locations targeted in the past several months include Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Long Island, Nashville, and Redding, California. Many of the flyers read …
US State Department spokesman Ned Price and US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt on Monday memorialized victims of the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the attack on a tour bus in Burgas, Bulgaria. Both events share an anniversary date. The two took the opportunity …

This funding will help to keep synagogues and Jewish community centers safe by bolstering security. The money will go to fund security measures such as inspection and screening systems, fences, cameras, more secure doors, additional hiring …
Here he goes again, showing his true (antisemitic) colors. Mohamed Hadid, father of Bella and Gigi Hadid, both supermodels and both promoting antisemitic lies about Israel, said that Zionists control the world and the media. What to do about this? Hadid suggests we follow Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime, who promotes BDS and violence …
After Israel experienced a deadly wave of terror attacks, NY Times Jerusalem Correspondent Raja Abdulrahim failed to mention in her piece of April 16, that the vast majority of Arabs killed by Israeli military and police forces were active members of terrorist groups. Entitled “‘We’re Exhausted’: Palestinians Decry Israeli Raids as Collective Punishment,” Abdulrahim condemned …
Antisemitic hate crimes were up a shocking 92% in March, compared to a year ago, based on statistics from the NYPD. Jews were targeted with hate crimes more than for any other sector. In March 2021, there were 12 reported incidences of antisemitic hate crimes in NYC. This past March, there were a total of …
Some Jews have been reluctant, during the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, to mention the bloodcurdling history their ancestors experienced first hand in Ukraine. Ukraine was one of the worst places for a Jew to end up in, throughout history. There were endless pogroms and massacres, such as the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648, or Babi …
