‘A punch to the gut’: The US failure to defend Israel at the UN

“The Quad,” Ep. 21

“The Quad” discusses the repercussions of the United States abstaining last week from a U.N. ceasefire resolution. Is the U.S./Israel relationship at risk? Will this invite more diplomatic attacks on the Jewish state? Also, why is Washington attempting to stop Israel from entering Rafah, in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip, to eradicate the last of Hamas’s strongholds?

They interview Olga Deutsch, vice president of NGO Monitor, to talk about international aid and so-called human-rights organizations that are vilifying Israel and the Jewish community. What can be done in this impossible political landscape in which Israel is being made a pariah?

And, of course, they declare the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!

JNS TV show with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum (deputy mayor of Jerusalem), Emily Schrader (activist and journalist), Ashira Solomon (African-American Jew and political moderator) and Vivian Bercovici (former Canadian ambassador to Israel).
“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
