Historian Rafael Medoff tells Judith Magazine why he refused his publisher's demand to denounce Israel in 'Cartoonists Against the Holocaust.'

Bruce Shaffer discusses Boulder’s local politics involving anti-Israel sentiments, highlighting connections between City Council members and pro-Palestinian groups, notably Students For Justice in Palestine.

Dr. Raphael Medoff critiques a New York Times article for employing biased techniques that misrepresent Jewish community opinions and downplay the impact of controversial actions.

Perhaps New York Times columnist M. Gessen will be as afraid to see a movie about Matilda as much as the movie about Hind Rajab.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Did you know that Holocaust guilt created the modern state of Israel? That Hamas is needed because no state of Palestine exists? That in 1947 the Arabs were not offered their own state as happened for the Jews?

“The world’s gone mad,” says Greg Mullins, 66, as he joined a massive march across the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

’The best defense is a good offense, and I intend to start offending right now.’ — Star Trek’s Captain James T. Kirk ‘Judaism, yes, Zionism no! The state of Israel has got to go.’ — Pro-Arab chants outside Grand Central Station on Oct.11, from The New York Times The withering …

A series of distressing events on Friday highlighted increased tensions for Jews globally: a Houthi drone attack in Tel Aviv, the sentencing of Jewish journalist Evan Gershkovich in Russia, and anti-Israel vandalism in Philadelphia.

Mariana Chilton, a Drexel University professor, faces charges for stealing pro-Israel signs. She admitted the act to police, suggesting returning the signs. Drexel placed her on administrative leave.

Sahar Tartak, a Jewish Yale student, was attacked by a student with a Palestinian flag at an anti-Israel protest, leading to hospitalization. Protests at various universities persistently disrupt and intimidate, challenging campus policies and escalating tensions, culminating in numerous arrests and administrative actions.

Even harsh critics of U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik were stunned when she trumped “legal scholar” and University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill over university policies that can translate into routine criminal laws.

The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) is opposing anti-Israeli groups calling for disruptions to the Jewish National Fund's (JNF) Global Conference in Denver. JCRC affirms JNF's broad-reaching humanitarian work benefits Israelis of all backgrounds, despite certain protests against the organization.

Bruce Ticker’s column is a good illustration of the problems Jews are facing on college campuses.

I have often wondered if today’s Arabs long for the glory days when Muslims described the world as being divided between Dar es Salaam (countries “at peace” after having been forced to accept Islam) and Dar al Harb (countries still under the sword).

We can’t rely on American newspapers to give us accurate information on Israel. But, in this Internet Age, we shouldn’t be relying solely on printed newspapers.
