Subsuming anti-Semitism under general, bland, catch-all anti-racist wording is a typical Corbyn and British Labour tactic. Instead of condemning the racist Omar, the reworded motion turned her into the victim. Still, the situation here is not as bad as in the UK – yet. It could get that bad very soon.

If you are grateful to be an American, you are, by definition, not a leftist.

Clearly, the group of soiled generals that has gathered around Gantz is not exactly my cup of tea. But Netanyahu and his group have no new message, either. I came from the Right, I am loyal to this land and Jewish identity is part of my soul. But I will join whoever will make it possible for me to advance my platform in the best way.

The reason for opposition to mass immigration into the United States – from almost anywhere in the world, whether legal or illegal – has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. The issue is entirely one of values.

An effort to keep Otzma from running for the Knesset, as was the case with Kahane’s Kach Party in the past, raises questions about who has the right to seek office.

The charges against the prime minister set an unfortunate precedent in more ways than one. Here are four takeaways from the charges against him.

Why do so many black Americans, living in the freest country for all its citizens – and in the least-racist multiracial, multiethnic country in history – want to believe America is racist?
