Op-Eds

Shimon HaTzadik is a neighborhood where Jews and Arab could have lived side by side peacefully—had Arabs not tried to ethnically cleanse all of the Jews living there.

In reality, all this definition does is allow antisemites to get away with abusing Jews.

If Jews feel threatened by some Christians through conversion or assimilation, Christianity itself feels threatened by Judaism—specifically, by the fact that the links between the two religions are far more fundamental than many Christians like to acknowledge.

On Jerusalem Day, the Jewish prayer of thanks is chanted to express our profound gratitude and joy at having our capital restored and united once again.

How far can this spirit of goodwill go?

The ongoing crisis in American culture has brought two seemingly unrelated trends to the forefront: advocacy of technocratic expertise aimed at solving global issues, and condemnation of America’s allegedly irredeemable racism. American diplomacy exemplifies these trends through the figures of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. Both trends are founded in Puritanical moralism, according to which salvation is difficult if not impossible and “crisis” is a tool for accumulating power.

For 20 years, Western academics, journalists, and politicians, influenced by Edward Said's "Orientalism," post-colonialism, critical race theory, and de-constructionism, have refused to document violence against women if the perpetrators are men of color.

Assimilation is a major issue for the Jewish community in the US. But in that regard, it may be worth pointing out a key difference between the Jewish communities in Great Britain and the US.

No single factor is to blame. A perfect storm of elements simultaneously came together, exposing a system filled with flaws—many of them cultural in nature

Israel’s Arab citizens have increasingly sought economic and political integration, with 63% supporting Arab parties joining the Israeli coalition government. Ra’am’s electoral success reflects a societal shift in the Israeli Arab sector. Two polls in early 2020 indicated a growing Israeli identity as opposed to a Palestinian identity that had more commonly characterized Arab citizens of Israel.

Reportedly, former US Secretary of State John Kerry shared intelligence about Israel’s anti-Iran covert operations with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. How much further will US officials today go to undercut Israel’s military campaign against Iran?
