New York Times columnist Bret Stephens is outraged that Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon spoke at the Zionist Organization of America dinner on Sunday night.

OP-ED BY: Steve Feldman, Lee Bender and Kevin Ross ZOA Op-Ed About Anti-Semitism

We were heartened to learn that a Philadelphia synagogue is offering an adult education course about anti-Semitism, a timeless scourge that every generation must combat.
