CBS is determined to redraw Israel’s map, facts be damned
Why is the news outlet adopting the jargon of a group that makes no secret of its intention to annihilate the Jewish state?
Asia Alhammadi
The devil told me I won’t enter paradise
He also said non-Muslims are the enemy, but I find the real destructive force to be those who tout ignorance and divisiveness in slogans of religion
Yaakov Lappin
Why Israel must establish a military administration in Gaza
Who else can take charge of the Gaza Strip? The PA is too weak, international forces won’t risk their people, and Hamas rule was a terrible idea
Steven Rosenberg
Harvard’s adoption of IHRA isn’t enough
Measures that were agreed in the framework of Title VI lawsuits will not change an institutional culture that tolerates antisemitism
Benjamin Porat
Don’t knock the Levin-Sa’ar plan, it’s a surrender in disguise
The revised reform proposal caves in on the overhaul’s key feature: total government control over judicial selection
Bazy Swirsky Rubin
We are still on miluim-reserve duty
After a week of holding it all together, I couldn’t wait for him to come from the army and take the next shift. Not that he was going to.

I’m no Trump supporter, but if he hadn’t read Netanyahu the riot act, the Israel-Hamas war would probably still be in full force.

Actions matter: Deeds not words in tackling antisemitism
Growing up embedded into a strong Jewish community, just outside of London, I previously believed that antisemitism had largely been discredited due to increased awareness and enlightenment like other forms of abhorrent discrimination such as racism, homophobia and sexism....

To Anticipate Trump’s Middle East Policy, Focus On What The Saudis Want
The first days of Trump’s second administration have already proven that Trump will do whatever the Saudi’s want - we need to recognize what that means for Israel and the Jews One of the biggest mistakes people make when it...

Kfar Aza and Me
We walked toward the tree with a broken surfboard leaning on it. Tied with a piece of string, it presented a photo of a family man with candles and stones on the grass beneath it. The crowd of 20...

Coming Home
The return of the first three hostages after more than a year in captivity in Gaza was a rare moment of unity in Israel. Like most other people in the country, I was glued to the television screen on...

Vaera – Understanding the Plagues in Light of October 7
The Ten Plagues about which we begin reading this week have always bothered me. If God's intention was to redeem the Israelite people from Egyptian slavery then He could have just taken them out without inflicting any plagues on...
