By Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer (ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS / JULY 20, 2021) You think Jews cannot be Jew-haters? Does any serious, open-minded non-Woke American still really believe that Jews are all “in it together”? How foolish! Even as Ilhan Omar is the worst Jew-hater in Congress, with salutatorian going to Rashida Tlaib and honorable mentions for New […]
By Morton A. Klein, ZOA National President Last week, I urged my alma mater, Temple University, where I also taught mathematics, to terminate Jason Wingard from his powerful position of Temple University president, to stop Wingard from potentially bringing Tides’ antisemitic, Israel-hating and Israel-demonizing mission to Temple’s programs, appointments, and community. With further research, we now […]
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) sent a letter to the superintendent and school board of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) last week, documenting years of antisemitism in the district. Parents contacted the ZOA after FCPS failed to rebuke and punish a school board member, Abrar Omeish, for using her school board position for personal […]
(JUNE 24, 2021 / JNS) As a two-degree alumnus of Temple University in Philadelphia and national president of the Zionist Organization of America, I cannot remain silent regarding the recent appointment of Dr. Jason Wingard—chair of the anti-Israel, antisemitic Tides Foundation—to be Temple University’s next president. Under Wingard’s leadership, Tides has been funding and elevating organizations and individuals […]
(June 9, 2021 / JNS) The formation of an Israeli governing coalition with the anti-Zionist Islamist movement (Ra’am), and the reported concessions granted to Ra’am in the coalition agreement are extremely dangerous and inimical to Israel’s security, the rule of law, Israeli election integrity and may handcuff Israel’s free decision-making ability. The coalition agreement reportedly facilitates massive illegal […]
(April 30, 2021 / JNS) Seventy-three years ago on May 14 (according to the Gregorian calendar), the leaders of what in a few minutes would become the nation of Israel declared its independence. Just 11 minutes later, U.S. President Harry S. Truman gave the Jewish state and the Jewish people his and America’s blessing. Through a combination of […]
(April 28, 2021 / JNS) The question of what particular groups sit around the table at Boston’s Jewish Community Relations Council is not exactly one of the great dilemmas of modern Jewish history. Such organizations tend to take on the characteristics of a private social club. That ensures that the viciousness of the arguments of the participants is […]
Editor’s Note: See Center for Jewish Life – Princeton Hillel statement below I am a sophomore at Princeton University and a veteran of the IDF. When I recently asked to hang an Israeli flag in Princeton’s Hillel house – also known as the Center for Jewish Life, “CJL” – I was greeted with anything but an enthusiastic yes. In […]
Adhering to facts and historical truths is vital for any nonfiction writer, especially for high-profile writers with enormous power to shape the public’s thinking. Yet former President Barack Obama’s account of Middle East history in his recently published memoir, A Promised Land, is riddled with factual errors and misleading statements and omits material facts. Because of […]
In the 1930s, the great Zionist Ze’ev Jabotinsky traveled throughout Europe, warning Jews to flee to Israel from the Nazi “volcano that will soon spew out its flames of extermination.” The Jewish Left rewarded Jabotinsky’s efforts to save European Jewry by calling Jabotinsky “a Nazi.” Absurd? Horrible? Of course. Jabotinsky’s death may have been hastened […]
