Beating Back Radical Islam Contributing editor Robert Sklar’s Aug. 18 essay “Can Israel Overcome Palestinian Religious Decree” (page 6) was interesting. Unfortunately, the “elephant in the room” is political Islam. You can’t have peace when you teach your children to hate, and that ties to political Islam (Sharia law). Over a year and a half […]
With many of us sending our children off to college soon, we must all be aware of a painful truth: Some or our kids will face anti-Semitic harassment on their campuses. Last month, AMCHA Initiative, a group that documents campus anti-Semitism, released a study showing “an alarming spike in campus anti-Semitism” in the first half […]
The discussion of sovereignty is now also heard on the other side of the ocean, but in order for it to take on real momentum we need Israeli statesmen to speak clearly about it. Jeff Daube, ZOA Israel Director and co-chair of “Legal Grounds” is working to provide legal and other tools to Israeli politicians […]
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and a coalition of seven other national organizations sent a ZOA-authored letter last Monday to UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, urging him to finally put a stop to the months-long bullying campaign that has been waged against Milan Chatterjee, a UCLA law student and the former president of the Graduate […]
It’s wrong for the Anti-Defamation League to have failed to condemn as blatant anti-Semitism Rep. Hank Johnson’s “termites” label for Jews living in Judea and Samaria.

It is appalling that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) organized and conducted a panel discussion event for visiting rabbis in Jerusalem last month that gave a platform to the vicious anti-Israel propaganda group “Breaking the Silence” (“BtS”). Breaking the Silence is notorious for inventing and publishing throughout the world (and providing to the […]
One by one the names of the victims of the 1994 bombing of Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, were called during a memorial candle lighting ceremony.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed pushed back on demands from local Black Lives Matter supporters for the city to boycott Israel by standing behind a police training program between his city and Israel. “I happen to believe that (Israel) has some of the best counterterrorism techniques in the world,” Reed said at a July 18 press […]
