My thoughts on politics.
After Tlaib agreed to the conditions of Israel’s Interior Minister Ariyeh Deri, in order to see her grandmother, she changed her mind and backtracked, refusing to refrain from political activity during her visit. President Trump was quick to comment on the seeming cynicism of Tlaib’s actions. Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida …
Conflicting reports have it that President Trump told his advisers that Israel should ban Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the Jewish State. Why conflicting? Because he only said this in private to his advisers. He never had his administration suggest this idea to Israel. You know how it is: Presidents have a way …
Antisemitic graffiti appeared overnight on the Lake Harriet Community School in Minneapolis, on Thursday, August 1, just a few weeks before school is about to begin. The graffiti text read, “KIKES MUST DIE,” and this was accompanied by a swastika symbol. This is the same district that elected Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is infamous for …
Louis Farrakhan, the notorious antisemite, is at it again with the allegations that sexual offenses stem from the Talmud. Needless to say, this is horrifyingly offensive and false. Such statements increase our difficulty in understanding the highly placed people who refuse to disavow Farrakhan, for instance, the Women’s March leaders. It is never good when …
You know how it is, killing time while waiting for your plane. What else are you gonna do but go on Facebook? And since you’re sitting in Ben Gurion Airport, after visiting the Jerusalem Al-Aqsa Mosque, you might as well post a status expressing a prayerful wish that all Jews be exterminated. At least that’s …
At a recent faith breakfast in South Carolina, in response to a question, Corey Booker (D., N.J.) failed to either repudiate Louis Farrakhan’s antisemitism, or say he would not meet with him. On the contrary, Booker’s statement showed he was familiar with Farrakhan’s ideology and would never rule out meeting him. There are a few …
It was a peaceful summer morning when a man began shouting threatening antisemitic epithets at a guy waiting on the southbound platform of the Gates Avenue station for the J train on June 13. Thinking quickly, the victim took out his cell phone to record the incident. The shouter then grabbed the phone and hurled …
It was difficult to interpret the meaning of the antisemitic congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, joining the newly formed black-Jewish caucus. Did she turn over a new leaf? Or did she do it in order to remove the stain of antisemitism that clings to her name by proving that she could work together with Jews? …
What are we to make of the following words of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib? “There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, …
The antisemitism so obviously inherent in the UK’s Labour Party continues, this time embodied by a call to suspend arms sales to the Jewish State. It happened on January 24, when Labour Party Shadown Foreign Minister Emily Thornberry sent a letter to British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, equating Iran’s military support for Syria’s Bashar al-Assad …
