It is a relief that Israel retrieved the hostages who were carried off from southern Israel after Hamas terrorists murdered 1,200 Israelis and others on Oct. 7, 2023. However, that leaves 21 more provisions to achieve peace between Israel and the people of Gaza.

I join with Bruce Ticker in hoping that people who don't approve of Israel's standing up to those who seek to destroy the nation-state of the Jews will not get away with physically attacking Jews (whether those Jews are Zionists or not). However, I believe that he could help matters by doing a better job of defending Israel's actions in his columns.

Unfortunately, in my position as a University Research Fellow, I am constantly exposed to the results of this successful antisemitic campaign to change the narrative by changing the definition of "Nakba."

We can hope that President Trump’s Gaza plan will end the war between Israel and Hamas, but who will end the war against the Jews in the rest of the world?

Bruce Shaffer expresses gratitude for community support during recovery from the June 1 attack, emphasizes the need for proactive Jewish engagement in Boulder, and hopes for the hostages' safe return.

While most Jews spent the first day of Rosh Hashanah in solemn observance, delegates to the United Nations Security Council spent Rosh Hashanah’s first day urging a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and release of the hostages. The Israelis notified the U.N. that Sept. 23 was the start of the Jewish New Year, but U.N. went ahead with the debate, anyway.

Two years after the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas, Israel is still carrying wounds that in some ways have deepened and worsened after two years of war.

Mahmoud Abbas has led the Palestinian Authority without elections for over 20 years, yet is misrepresented as a "world leader" by journalism, ignoring his autocratic rule.

In a hellzapoppin week, Jewish Texan Jeremy Fistel was charged partly for telling New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani that he should know how Jews in southern Israel felt on Oct. 7, 2023.

Bruce Ticker is correct. Raja Abdulrahim's account of Abu Samara's family leaving Israel's territory for Gaza in 1948 was sorely lacking in context.

Reporting about Israel often inflames Jews, but they must not worry only about what the media cover but also what they do not cover. Maybe more so.

Jerry Seinfeld is right about the similarities between “Free Palestine” protesters and the Ku Klux Klan. In fact, the points of comparison are stronger than he realizes.

Dear editor: I am saddened that Bruce Ticker doesn’t realize that socialism simply doesn’t work. (Column: The War Against Jewish New Yorkers boulderjewishnews.com 09/12/2025) Why socialism fails: Lessons from Bolivia If Mr. Mamdani fails in his bid to become New York’s mayor because of his antisemitism, that will be the …

Just when you think the antisemitic propaganda against Israel that provides moral support for Hamas terrorism could not get any worse, it got worse.

Zohran Mamdani, the much-scorned mayoral candidate in New York City, all but declared war on the city’s 960,000 Jews over the weekend.

Ed Kass claims modern Israelis are acting just as badly as ancient Israelites did, meaning that the modern State of Israel is sure to fall due to the malfeasance of its leaders. After all, Kass reminds us, Kohelet teaches "There is nothing new under the sun".

Arabs of Palestine could have had a state in the 1940's if Arab leaders had helped them to get organized for the autonomy offered them by the UN Partition Proposal (for the 20% of Britain's Palestine Mandate that had not been used to set up the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan). And that was just the first opportunity.

Quite the mystery. Who destroyed the two-state solution? Let us investigate Riyad Mansour’s slam-dunk allegation as to which party “destroy(ed) the two-state solution.”

We haven’t learned. We haven’t recognized the destructive force of zealotry and arrogance in our history either in biblical or recent times . Today these forces have morphed into a far more lethal and insidious force.

How distressing that unceasing despicable antisemitic vitriol would now drive the Boulder 'Run for Their Lives' chapter into the shadows.

The following 72  "journalists" killed by the IDF were either employed by or were affiliated with the terrorist groups Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hezbollah, Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Jonathan Greenblatt's misleading comments about mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's engagement with the Jewish community risk damaging both his credibility and the ADL's reputation.

The editorial writers at The Washington Post support establishing a sovereign Palestinian Arab state next to Israel. They continue to say this even as Israel approaches nearly two years of war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Toby Block critiques Annelle Sheline's inaccuracies about Palestinians, noting historical Jewish ties to Israel and discussing Arab leaders' failures in establishing a Palestinian state.

Last week's letter claims that because these children have pre-existing conditions they are not suffering “exclusively” from starvation, as if this excuses their starvation. The clear implication of this letter is that famine in Gaza either does not exist or that the media is making a mountain out of a molehill.
