It is doubtful that many people took Benjamin Netanyahu seriously when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly.

Karyn Schad exemplified love and resilience throughout her life and illness, inspiring others with her focus on giving and appreciation as she transcended mortal challenges.

It was the dingo…er, the drugs…that made Matthew De Campo ram the entrance gate of a synagogue in Brisbane, Australia, last Feb. 20. No antisemitism here, his lawyer claims.

As we move into the new year following Rosh Hashanah, we've been reflecting on the great privilege it has been to care for members of this community over the past year.

The anti-Israel mob concocted a novel legal strategy on Monday when former Columbia University students sued their alma mater: the defendant mobilized a pattern of “deliberate indifference.”

Is it too much to ask of the City to make clear that no political cause gives anyone permission to intimidate fellow citizens. Jews should not have to accept behavior that Boulder would recognize as unacceptable if it were directed toward another community.

Ed Kass ("Opinion: Needed Now. Ometz Lev" 9/3/26 BJN) is either ignorant of or willfully blind to the fact that all "Jewish settlements" in Judea and Samaria are totally consistent with Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, the controlling international law concerning Israel.

The New York Times and Muhammad Shehada are wilfully blind to the one and only thing that Hamas must do to instill a least a scintilla of credibility in their claim, totally mendacious until now, that they are interested in peace.

We can learn from Elie Weisel: "I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

Knesset member Zvi Sukkot should never have taken a sledgehammer in his hands and smashed a limestone monument in the Judea/Samaria (a.k.a. the West Bank) Arab village of Madama.

The New York Times and Muhammad Shehada are wilfully blind to the one and only thing that Hamas must do to instill a least a scintilla of credibility in their claim, totally mendacious until now, that they are interested in peace.

Who will object to such lofty goals as “to achieve lasting peace” and correcting a “historical injustice?”

It was truly refreshing to read that there are people in Hollywood who appreciate the many contributions that Jews had made, and are continuing to make, to the entertainment industry.

“It is the latest example of Israel’s inability to say yes,” writes Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada. Israelis no doubt learned this “inability” from the Arabs, who refused to “say yes” for the last 78 years.

Thanks to the writer who so vehemently called out Hollywood’s anti-Israel agenda. I have no qualms about anything he wrote, except to try and mitigate the painful points presented with a bit of more positive perspectives.

Mayor Mamdani since he was at Bowdoin has embraced every Zionophobic pronouncement of the National Students for Justice in Palestine, a Jew-hating organization that has consistently celebrated the koranic butchery of 1200 Jews on 10/7.

Many of Hollywood’s leading actors have in recent years consistently adopted a clearly anti-Israel agenda, with many critics claiming that their declarations have a stench of anti-Semitism masquerading as criticism of the Jews and the State of Israel.

Bruce Ticker critiques modern psychologists' political advocacy at conventions, particularly relating to Palestinian liberation, while expressing concern over the lack of acknowledgment for Jewish issues and rising antisemitism within the profession.

Indeed, there is a lot of violence in Judea and Samaria, areas of historical and religious importance to Jews, called "The West Bank" by people who claim that the Zionist enterprise is "colonialist."

The London borough of Hackney has decided to cancel its twin-city relationship with Haifa. The twinning agreement was signed back in 1968. Hackney’s new mayor, Zoe Garbett, leader of the local Green Party, says she canceled it as a demonstration of “international solidarity.”

Ron Jager discusses the rise of online antisemitism, its connection to foreign influence, and the urgent need to protect Jewish communities and U.S.-Israel relations.

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania proved this week that an advocate for Israel can confront an Israel-basher, shake him up and still stand firm and unyielding. Or stand tall, as John Wayne or Ronald Reagan might word it.

I find it extremely offensive to label Jews as extremist settlers!

The 103 Zionophobic House Democrats who voted for all time to never support the self defense of the Jewish people of Israel have rejected the proud Zionism of JFK and the proud Zionism of the Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
