‘Days of Hate’ and ‘Days of Rage’ are not so different

Antisemitism must be fought tooth and nail, regardless of where it comes from on the political spectrum.

The Democratic Socialists of America’s civil war over BDS

Lesson learned? Even among radicals, the most militant BDS-ers are simply too unpredictable, uncompromising and unruly to cooperate with in the political arena.

Will the ‘most-read’ human-rights story of 2021 continue in 2022?

Apartheid claims against Israel promulgated by pro-Palestinian NGOs drive a narrative that is reflexively embraced by the media, and promoted by some politicians and government officials.

They attack Jews online like they do in the streets

Facebook must stand steadfast in the face of an anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic campaign and ensure that Jews aren’t targeted by euphemisms and fancy wordplay.

Anti-Semitism on the college campus is evolving

Anti-Zionist students will intensify intimidation towards their peers by not simply threatening to boycott pro-Israel students, but “undecided” ones, too. They’ll offer an ultimatum: join us or face social ostracization.

The Israel Defense Forces cultivate moral values

Not only does their code of ethics aim to minimize collateral damage through a stringent “purity of arms” policy, but it also helps inculcate virtues in its servicemen and women, such as restraint, responsibility, discipline and the sanctity of human life.

In a world full of corruption and violence, Israeli democracy shines bright

The Jewish state has its fair share of problems, but what it has accomplished in the few years since establishing a perfectly imperfect little country is astonishing.
