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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A New Monthly Column for Boulder Jewish News for 5786 from Rabbi Charna Rosenholtz Month One: Tishrei – The Tribe of EphraimMost of us live by the secular calendar. January to December, four seasons, twelve months. But in Jewish tradition, there’s another cycle quietly ticking underneath—one that doesn’t just mark …

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.

Perhaps the harshest obstacle toward a two-state solution revolves around the Palestinians’ ability to conduct international affairs, which presumably includes Israel, as listed in The New York Times.

There is something ghastly about quibbling over wartime deaths, just as The New York Times did in devoting nearly three full pages to analyze the fate of thousands of Gazans during the last two years.

Crazed minds are bound to think alike, as with those belonging to President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

They escaped justice and accountability once again. Those critics of Israel can apparently thank federal and state authorities for tripping up somehow.

In his pursuit of political power, Zohran Mamdani insists on dragging American Jews through the mud. Mamdani’s campaign for mayor of New York City is no less ugly than anything else touched by anti-Israel activists.

Austria plans to implement strict gun laws after a school shooting, reflecting legislative actions by Australia and New Zealand, amid calls for U.S. lawmakers to pursue similar reforms.
