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 […]

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 […]
“Our people will be eternally grateful for [President Trump’s] decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the American Embassy there tomorrow,” Netanyahu declared. “Tomorrow will be an historic day for our people and for our state.” Netanyahu delivered his remarks at an official reception at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs before an […]
