By Kobi Erez (October 12, 2026 / JNS) The people who shouted “Heil Hitler” and “Death to the Jews!” at me didn’t ask what I thought about Israel’s government. They didn’t inquire about my politics. They saw a Jew walking home from synagogue and decided that was enough. It happened one Friday night in Southfield, […]
By Morton A. Klein (October 7, 2026 / USA Today) Oct. 7, 2023 was not just a horrific massacre. It was a warning. The lesson is simple: Hamas must be disarmed, Gaza must be deradicalized and Israel must be allowed to defend itself. If we rebuild Gaza while Hamas remains armed and in control, we […]

By Adam Turner (September 1, 2026 / AG) There is a saying that “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” In other words, false information can spread […]
By Morton A. Klein (August 21, 2026 / USA Today) Israel was right to reject the latest 15-point plan. Not negotiate it away. Not soften it. Reject it. Israel has every right to decide what terms it will accept when its security and survival are at stake. It is also about America’s credibility, President Donald […]

Friedman’s article in The New York Times criticizing AIPAC, the Jewish lobby group showed support for left-wing positions when, instead, strength and pride were needed.
