On Tuesday, May 15th, students at the Beacon School, an “elite” public high school in Hell’s Kitchen, decided to commemorate the 62 Palestinians who were killed the day before in Gaza during the Great March of Return. A simple announcement over the loudspeaker that lasted a minute somehow warranted a witch hunt on the administration […]

Qatar’s public relations campaign in the United States is collapsing as the businessmen, community leaders, and media consultants it employed have began to abandon the effort. As Breitbart News noted last year, Qatar had employed an American team — including Nick Muzin, a former aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — to improve its image in the […]

The JTA article you published (“These Jewish Groups Are Fighting — Even Physically…”, May 18) about ZOA criticizing some Jewish groups for their troubling policies and positions had many inaccuracies. In fact, ZOA legitimately criticized National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) for signing a letter demanding that people stop “smearing” Linda Sarsour. It was not […]

Andrew Friedman, President of Congregation Bais Naftoli, has announced that the synagogue will be celebrating its 26th Annual Breakfast on June 10, 2018, at 9:30 a.m. This year’s honorees will be Morton Klein, National President of Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), and Dr. David Frey, Director of Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, U.S. Military […]

The Beacon School, an elite New York City public high school, rarely, if ever, holds silent tributes. It’s never mourned the deaths of the estimated 500,000 Syrians killed by the government of President Bashar Assad and its allies. It’s never mourned the murders of 2,000 Israelis in the last two decades. That’s why so many parents […]

Organizations and individuals entrenched in the Obama administration’s pro-Iran echo chamber are engaging in a new plot to defame top White House national security officials, a campaign that mirrors a successful effort by these same groups to oust former Trump administration National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, according to sources familiar with the new effort. After […]

The world’s largest Celebrate Israel parade will fill Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue with tens of thousands of marchers and watchers this Sunday, June 3. As always, Long Island schools, shuls and other Jewish organizations will be well-represented. The parade, from 54th to 74th streets and 11 am to 4 pm, is a must-do event for friends […]

Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), will be the featured speaker at a Shabbat program hosted by Nusach Hari B’nai Zion congregation May 26. Klein, known for his outspoken views on Israel, will discuss, “The Orwellian Lies About Jerusalem, Settlements and Occupation.” Klein is widely known as a passionate advocate for […]

President Donald Trump’s announcement last week that the United States would be withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal was praised by some segments of the American Jewish community, but drew criticism from others. Statements in support of the U.S. pullout were issued by the Anti-Defamation League, the Republican Jewish Coalition and AIPAC, while J Street […]

Gaza deaths are fault of Hamas Your May 15 editorial “Hamas’ catastrophe” is entirely correct to observe that Hamas tells its Gazan subjects that, if they get killed trying to murder Israelis, “they will be rewarded with a place in paradise.” Take, for example, the words of a Hamas TV host during the 2014 Gaza […]
