The Israeli consul general in New York told JNS that this year was the first time the Jewish state held an Independence Day celebration in New York City under a mayor who doesn’t recognize it.
Israel Advocacy Day brings together pastors and rabbis from more than 37 states to the nation’s capital at a time of increasing criticism of Israel on both sides of the political aisle.
“We are more scared than ever,” Jewish activist Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi told JNS. “Despite the overall reduction in the number of instances, the severity of instances is terrifying.”
The analysis found that Cole Allen, who faces multiple felony charges for the April 25 attack, had “multiple social and political grievances” and cited his social media posts criticizing the war.
In a letter to the U.S. State Department, the Democratic legislators pressed the Trump admin to revoke its condemnation of the flotilla and rescind calls for port restrictions from allies.
Moments after Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, of the Hague Group, made the admission, Andrew Gilmour, a former senior U.N. official, warned her that “there are 108 people on this call, so just assume it’s not confidential.”
A deadline in the law has yet to pass, but Rabbi Josh Joseph, of the Orthodox Union, told JNS that “we expect the mayor and the NYPD to work in close coordination with the community to ensure that the intent of this legislation is fully upheld.”
The National Education Association “sends the message to the local and state affiliates that antisemitism is acceptable,” Marci Lerner Miller, of the Brandeis Center, told JNS.
The president’s call for a national Shabbat “celebrates our religion and it refocuses on our job to become a light unto the nations,” Rabbi Steven Burg of Aish told JNS.
The Israeli consul general in New York told JNS that this year was the first time the Jewish state held an Independence Day celebration in New York City under a mayor who doesn’t recognize it.
Rare documents, letters and photos on display at the President’s Residence trace a century of engagement between the Chief Rabbinate and American presidents.
Unlike 1991, countries across the Middle East confront a common threat and increasingly respond within a shared security framework that includes Israel as a partner.

Democratic strategist Steve Rabinowitz told JNS that while he personally would not have chosen Rep. Ilhan Omar for the committee, Democrats are likely not calling for her removal because “the world is not just Israel and the Palestinians.”
The letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona cited hate-crime statistics from a 2019 FBI report indicating that Jew-hatred makes up for 63 percent of all religious-biased hate crimes in the United States.
Sixty-one percent of Americans think the country should suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority until it stops incentivizing terror attacks in Israel through its “pay for slay” program.
Benjamin Netanyahu exerted an understanding of U.S. politics and culture unmatched by previous Israeli leaders. Yet some experts believe that incoming Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid might have more clout among current administration officials.
The New Jersey Democrat said, “Let me be clear: In the face of a terrorist organization committed to Israel’s destruction, willing to indiscriminately attack civilians and put others directly in harm’s way, Israel has every right to defend herself and her population, full stop.”
“While we await to see how the current situation materializes, we have complete confidence in Israel’s democracy,” said Jewish Federations of North America president and CEO Eric Fingerhut.
They have grappled with response time and collective issues associated with the latest round of violence against Israel, recognizing an increased anti-Jewish backlash, in-person and online.
“We also talked about more resources for security, both through the Department of Homeland Security and through the Justice Department,” said Nathan Diament, executive director of the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center.
Whether the Biden administration can accomplish its goal of helping rebuild Gaza after the latest conflict while bypassing Hamas is highly unlikely, according to experts on the region.
Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan said “it took the general assembly a few months to convene a discussion on the fight against COVID-19. But when it comes to holding a debate to pressure Israel and give a terrorist organization a free pass, you were able to convene after only 11 days. What a disgrace.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib said reading official U.S. statements, one “would hardly know that Palestinians existed,” and that there has been no recognition of home demolitions or evictions, the detaining of children, sustained harassment of worshippers at Al-Aqsa mosque or of Palestinian humanity.
