Op-Eds

We can guess what lies ahead, but we don’t know. And the uncertainty is driving us a little crazy, don’t you think? One thing though is for certain: Our dependence on China’s communist rulers must end.

There are few things that guarantee us what the future will be like. Finding someone who will be at your side during those times of uncertainty and change can make all the difference.

"My father started working at the age of 14 until he was 65. He never asked for anything. On March 18, he needed a respirator to avoid dying and was denied.... This is the Spain we have. My father's generation built this country, its reservoirs, roads, agriculture, working 14 hours a day, coming out of a postwar period. And they are being left to die."

It is the Jews, not the Arabs, who have been for 3,000 years, the indigenous people on that land, and it has been the Arabs, not the Jews, who are the settler-colonialists in the territory.

We should be mindful of the miracles happening now, draw strength from them and ask what we want to take with us from this experience.

We cannot know if Trump will beat the virus or if, with the lavish support of the Democrats, the “experts” and the media, the virus will beat him. Netanyahu is right: The time to act on Trump’s peace plan is now.

Jews don’t need a crisis to tell them who or what they are. For Jews, the sense of who and what they are is what sustains them through such crises.

Talk about tone-deaf! Completely oblivious to the suffering of American citizens, J Street’s top priority is to give American money to two of the most vicious America-hating regimes in the world.

The coronavirus crisis has revitalized the national idea and cast into doubt an international unity that has proven to be rhetorical, useless and bureaucratic.

The coronavirus crisis underscores agriculture’s importance as a vital national asset. Public health depends not only on the quality of medical services but also on the availability and quality of food, which makes it vital for the state to maintain the highest possible level of agricultural self-sufficiency.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way many Israeli families are shopping for the holiday, and is presenting special challenges to the elderly, the disadvantaged and those under quarantine.

In the world’s urgency to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic, a crucial milestone got little attention: March 25 marked the first anniversary of U.S. recognition of the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory.

The Haggadah’s four architypes of “sons” uncannily correspond to models of political engagement with Israel today. One is wise, one is wicked, one is simple, and one does not even know how to become part of the conversation…

Our reflection right now should bring us towards a spirit of unity. Unity between secular and religious. Unity between Israel and the Diaspora. Unity between Jews and our neighbors. Unity among our religious leaders, communal leaders and politicians.

Why is China trafficking in dangerous viruses in the first place?

Isn’t the criticism of Litzman especially venomous because of his Yiddish, his beard and his attire? There is a feeling that it goes beyond concern for the city’s residents themselves. The discourse about Bnei Brak reeks of prejudice.

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the fact that we live in an age of uncertainty. In such times, granting a veto over Israel’s borders to neighbors that are falling apart before our eyes does not advance the cause of peace.

I'll be stuck at home with my awesome, yet sometimes annoying family, for more than two months!?

The many fabrications circulating around the world about coronavirus (COVID-19) are stoking fear and threatening public health. They vary from accusations of biological warfare to myths about the ways the virus spreads and what medications might be helpful to combat it.

Netanyahu bought the continuation of his rule at a very high price.

One Israeli youth movement leader describes what his community is doing to help others during the coronavirus crisis.

J Street seems to make it a point to find ever-innovative ways to lower the bar on what passes for pro-Israel.

Instead of kowtowing to the Beijing regime, the world must rally together and hold them accountable before the Red Flag unfurls yet another pandemic upon the survivors of this China Virus.

China is seeking to build its economic power during the pandemic with 'predatory offers of help' to countries around the world.

Israel that can no longer afford the purposeful and self-destructive sectarianism of its minority communities. Israeli authorities have failed to act for years against these ills. All Israelis are now paying the coronavirus price for this anarchy; for minority lawlessness and government fecklessness. From an epidemiological perspective, Israel’s entire population constitutes an interconnected “communicating vessel” with immediate collateral impact. This is not just an epidemiological truth. It is a peoplehood truth. It is a theological truth. Kol Yisrael arevim zeh lazeh, all Jews are responsible for the welfare of one another. We are supposed to be guarantors of each other’s health, happiness and security. In order to survive and thrive, the State of Israel can’t afford it any other way.
