The author challenges Adam Eisenberg's views on Woke ideology, urging investigation into issues regarding Israeli casualties, Hamas' claims, and the complexity of Jewish perspectives on persecution.

Eleven Jews were murdered celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on December 14, 2025. Among the dead: Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who had served Sydney’s Jewish community for eighteen years.

It was devastating to wake up this morning to the news of the horrific, evil shooting attack on a family Hanukkah celebration near Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, one of the first places in the world to bring in the festival of light, which began in darkness. Jews all over the world are in such deep shock and, inevitably, afraid that such incidents might happen at other public Hanukkah events.

Is there a connection between anti-Israelism and antisemitism? It’s a question worth asking in the wake of the massacre of Jews in Australia.

My name is Adam Eisenberg. I turned 25 a couple weeks ago. I’m currently a senior at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am a Jew. And I am terrified.

Now Jews cannot open their apartment doors or enjoy a city park named after an Israeli leader without being buggered by antisemitic morons. I know, that last is a duplicative phrase.

What a bumper sticker message: “I will invest in the economy. Ritchie invests in bombs.” And Michael Blake is off – to oust pro-Israel U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, as may be other so-called progressive candidates who plan to make Congress more “Palestinian”-friendly.

I would hope that even Ed Kass would admit that brief conversations with one or two people are not enough to gain an understanding of the complex relationship between Israelis and Palestinians.

The response addresses Ms. Ito's criticisms regarding Israel's history, the legitimacy of Palestinian claims, and the occupation narrative, emphasizing the need for mutual understanding and acknowledgment to achieve peace.

Last Sunday, I had a short conversation with a resident from the south Hebron Hills. I asked this resident about the attack in March on the Palestinian village adjacent to the resident’s village.

By Rafael Medoff The autumn of 1938 was a grim time for the Jews. The Nazis’ Kristallnacht pogrom had devastated German Jewry. The Evian conference, which was supposed to find havens for Jewish refugees, had proven to be a farce. And Britain was preparing to shut the doors of Palestine.  …

I believe Bruce Ticker is sincere in wishing to educate the 'Useful Idiots' being exploited by Hamas but his arguments are woefully inadequate.

Which river? Which sea? In a video, a sample of humane, kindhearted advocates for the “Palestinian cause” could not identify the bodies of water referenced in the “from the river to the sea” chant.

Ed Kass wrote to Boulder Jewish News on November 14 (Letter: As George Put It: “It Ain’t Necessarily So”) lambasting Jewish Israeli settlers and our November 2 speaker from Judea, Natalie Sopinsky.   His letter was full of misinformation and baseless accusations.

In August 1933 Dr. Max Neumann, the founder of Verband Nationaldeutschen - the Association of National German Jews, wrote in the Jewish Telegraph Agency that the Jews' loyalty to the Nazi government was the key to their survival. 

To understand what’s in store for New York City, and for New York’s Jews, all we have to do is take a glimpse into what’s happening in London, England, a city run by a Muslim mayor since 2016.

The four-year New York City nightmare commences on Jan. 1. But whose nightmare?

Who is this Natalie Sopinsky? Where is her peaceful village? How many red scarfs does she wrap around her head?

Bazrouk pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges last June and on Tuesday (Oct. 28)  was sentenced to 17 months in prison for kicking and punching Jews at three demonstrations, according to The New York Post.

As the Middle East crisis stains four election campaigns, a small army of teen-agers in Skokie, Illinois, ganged up on five Jewish children on Oct. 7.

I agree with Ed Kass. The conversation is a start. However, progress in settling the conflict between Arabs/Palestinians and Israel requires acceptance of past history.

What have we got to lose? Here's an example.

This past Monday, the JCC sponsored “The Israeli Palestinian Conversation”, an extra-ordinary, emotionally moving and thought-provoking play. I commend Ami Dayan and his cast for their courage in tackling this issue and providing an artfully weaved fabric of history and emotional context about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

We can extend our appreciation to Trump for announcing a 22-point plan to rebuild Gaza and implicitly advance a two-state solution. However, he undermined his own program by basking in his newfound glory and facilitating yet another gory and warped chapter.

Probably no one is surprised that, just as Bruce Ticker predicted, Hamas has already broken the ceasefire that President Trump hoped would be the beginning of true peace between Israel and her neighbors.
