Those trying to defend principles of law and constitutional order against the left have been grievously undermined.

Interestingly enough, I may now win a case I argued 43 years ago in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Eddy uses melodramatic language: they had to meet “in secret” and exercise “self-censorship.” They had to “worry” and fear “for their futures.” Not a single concern was noted for those who may be hurt by the anti-Semitic campaign they’re pushing.

The number of antisemitic incidents worldwide increased in 2020, but the past year also saw some notable positive developments in the battle against this hatred. The most important resulted from Trump policies, including the stopping of American financing of the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA.

It seems the early Americans learned something from the ancient Jews: the value of freedom.

Kissing the ground of the Land of Israel might seem like something from bygone times, but by his innocent gesture, Jonathan Pollard reminded us all of something we have long neglected.

It’s interesting how, on many other occasions, major Jewish organizations have had no trouble identifying and denouncing such statements as bigotry.

This past Shabbos, I made it known that I was willing to shake anyone's hand at my minyan. People responded with bewilderment, amazement, and maybe a touch of admiration. But there were no takers. They didn't want to die.
