    Be Harrison Ford, not Woody Allen

    Recently Israel allowed herself to be humiliated by Hamas, which burned thousands of acres of her fields and forests, and then launched the most intense rocket bombardment in Israel’s history. Our response, bombing unoccupied military targets, was tactically significant but psychologically impotent. The Jew-haters were gratified, because the Jews lived up to the stereotype: powerful and controlling, and yet at the same time weaklings who are afraid to fight.

    So You Think You Know What Hanukkah Is All About. Think Again

    Chanukah is a holiday about Jews fighting against assimilation a lesson which needs to be reinforced over and over here in the galut (diaspora). The holiday and candles are also a reminder that in Judaism, the light of God begins in the home lit by the observance of a single family unit, and just like the Chanukiah (Menorah) that light is supposed to radiate from the home to the community and eventually throughout the world.

    Emes Ve-Emunah; Rav Avrohom Chaim Levin, ZTL

    Rav Levine was a Gadol. He exemplified the Midah of Emes and he openly stood his ground on principles in which he believed - even when challenged.

    Caravan=Holocaust? NO WAY Because FDR Was Most Bigoted President In US History

    Roosevelt failed to take relatively simple measures that would have saved significant numbers of Jews during the Holocaust because his vision for America was one that had a small number of Jews.

    Another Battle in Israel’s Culture War

    The fact that such a measure is seriously thought to be needed is an indication of the furious political/culture war that is being waged in Israel today, between a small avant-garde of academics, artists, and media people, and the rest of Israeli society.

    Black Supremacists Terrorize New York Jews

    If “white Christians” invented anti-Semitism, white American Christians appear to be terrible at it. The ADL’s own surveys show black anti-Semitism as being 2 to 3 times higher than average.

    Airbnb’s VERY Idiotic Decision

    Airbnb titles its decision “Listings in Disputed Regions”, but it mentions one and only one “region”, which it calls “Israeli settlements in the West Bank”. Apparently, the Airbnb “experts” are not aware of other disputed regions that Airbnb still services

    Conquer Gaza Now

    Conquer Gaza now! I guarantee you that not one existing member of the Knesset will say those three words, but that is exactly what needs to be done

    Women’s March Hires Nation of Islam to do Security

    The Women's March is paying an antisemitic, anti-gay, anti-white, misogynist hate group - while at the same time pretending to adhere to Unity Principles that are against everything Nation of Islam stands for.

    Anti-Jewish NY Times Asks If Jared And Ivanka Are Good For The Jews

    In the end, because of their representation of a modern, publicly observant Jewish family, Jared and Ivanka are good for the Jews. And because of a long history of hiding Jewish and opposing pro-Jewish issues, the New York Times is bad for the Jews.

    Regarding the Airbnb Decree

    You can rent an Airbnb place "human rights leaders" like Saudi Arabia, Yeman, Sudan but NOT in YESHA!

    How Israel Could Prevail in Today’s Asymmetric Conflict

    There is no doubt that stepped-up attacks on Hamas and Hezbollah, which will necessarily cause civilian casualties in Gaza and Lebanon, will be met with a massive propaganda, diplomatic, and legal attack orchestrated by our European soft enemies. This is where our American ally, which still has great leverage in Europe, could step in.

    Choosing Dishonor

    Israel has decided to accept an unending war of attrition – which implies sacrificing the citizens of southern Israel, who will get no peace. Hamas demonstrated its ability to create chaos with a carefully calibrated attack in the South and threatened to extend it to the heart of the country, our leaders allowed themselves to be deterred and backed down. Hamas is in control. Hamas decides when to fan the flames and when to turn them down.

    Looking at Gaza Through Swedish Glasses

    According to Sweden, Palestinians are protesting peacefully, so by definition, Israel is using disproportionate force

    Inspiration from Zion: I DON’T Want a Ceasefire

    The calendar may have changed but the events are unfortunately familiar--another attack, another ceasefire.

    2018 Midterm Vote: American Jews Committed Jewicide

    Strictly Jewish perspective putting the Democrats in power; electing new Israel haters and placing incumbent supporters of Louis Farrakhan, and anti-Israel positions in key chairmanships, American Jewry’s support of the Democratic Party is just as bad as the silence of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

    As Palestinians Fire 400 Rockets, UN Meets to Give them $

    On November 12, 2018, the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza fired over 400 rockets into various populations centers in Israel. Buses, roads and homes were hit, killing and injuring people trying to manage their lives.

    Taking Back our Sovereignty

    Israel could take a lesson from Donald Trump. You can’t recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he was told, there will be unrest. You can’t move the embassy, they said, there will be riots. You can’t cut funding to UNRWA or demand that the PA stop paying terrorists. You can’t kill the Iran deal and re-impose sanctions. But he did all those things and the sky didn’t fall.

    Did Putin Pull Pittsburgh Trigger?

    There is a serious effort being made by Russian actors to influence the social and political atmosphere in the US. The objective is to destabilize the country by encouraging extremism of both the Right and the Left, to exacerbate racial, religious, and class conflict, to stoke anger, increase polarization, encourage violence, and ultimately bring about the virtual or actual secession of segments of the population from the USA.

    The Sounds of Silence

    Do I think that we are headed towards another Holocaust? As far as the USA, I do not believe that for a moment. But what I do believe is that Jews, of any persuasion, are less and less safe every day in the USA. The attacks will continue and get more frequent and more aggressive.

    KRISTALLNACHT ‘The Night of Broken Glass’

    I remember growing up and wondering why my grandmother would jump and go pale every-time a glass broke in the house.

    Reflections on a Massacre of Jews

    You are members of the Jewish people, not citizens of the world. You have a homeland, the State of Israel. Israel doesn’t need your money, but she needs you to ensure that your nation supports her in international forums and helps maintain military superiority against her enemies. Contrary to what her enemies say, Israel is the temporal center of power of the Jewish people, and her existence deters rather than encourages worldwide acts of Jew-hatred.

    Inspiration From Zion: Operation Finale – Movie vs Reality

    Sir Ben Kingsley, promised Elie Wiesel, the voice of morality and Holocaust Memory that he would, at the next appropriate opportunity, take on a role and dedicate it to him – and that is exactly what he did.

    Please Don’t Vote for a Democratic Socialist

    Two of the alarming extremist views held by the Democratic Socialists are their desires to destroy America’s free market economy and to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.

    If Synagogue Shooter Were Muslim, Media Would Be Defending Him

    President Trump has called for ruthless action against the Muslim AND Neo-Nazi murderers of Jews. If the media wants to sincerely oppose anti-Semitism, it could take a lesson from him.

    Are Jew-haters Possessed?

    Jew-hatred is often compared to a virus because of the way it spreads and mutates, but I prefer the analogy of diabolical possession because of the way it twists its victims and causes them to commit acts of unspeakable evil.

    NYC has HUNDREDS of anti-Jewish Hate Crimes – and NOT ONE Person Caught...

    We should not minimize right-wing antisemitism. But too much of the news coverage in the wake of Pittsburgh has minimized all other forms of antisemitism. Muslims attacking Jews and blacks attacking Hasidim are "accepted" as, barely worth reporting.

    Hate Crime RISE Against Jews in 2017 is MUCH Worse than Being Reported

    The difference between the ADL report and the FBI Hate Crimes statistics is that the FBI only includes actual crimes, while the ADL counts "incidents" which is a much broader category.

    From Hebron to Pittsburgh

    We need to stop being naïve and innocent: anti-Semitism always was and always will be, and in most places across the world it’s getting worse. How ironic that on the very Shabbat that I was in Hebron talking about what was done to defend Jewish lives in America and how we miss Rabbi Kahane’s leadership and couragea terrible massacre occurred to innocent Jews.

    Using Media Logic, I just “PROVED” Obama Encouraged Violence Against Jews!

    the number of assaults against Jews - the most serious category the ADL tracks - went up dramatically when Obama was in office and has gone down significantly since Trump has been president.
