It is now evident that, by and large, the Jewish establishment has adopted a policy of deafening silence in relation to the virulent one-sided political attacks and sins of omission by the Obama administration concerning our barbaric adversaries. It is only the outspoken Zionist Organization of America and minor fringe groups that have been directly […]

A Decidedly Unpresidential Profile   In your profile of J Street U new president, Amna Farooqi, you accept at face value Farooqi’s assertion of “loving Israel” (“J Street U’s New Muslim President,” Sept. 24). But absent from your profile were some disturbing facts. First, Farooqi does not merely criticize the “occupation” (98 percent of Palestinians […]

With the introspection of the YamimNora’im behind us, and as we look ahead to what 5776 may bring, it’s impossible to avoid the sobering—even frightening—significance of recent events in Washington.

In a recent statement, Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein noted what he perceived to be a discrepancy between President Barack Obama’s holiday messages to Jews and Muslims. For Rosh Hashanah this month, Klein believes Obama “lectured” the Jewish people on the Palestinian issue, stating, “We are required to atone where we […]

A  conservative Zionist organization is urging the Fox News Channel to fire conservative pundit Ann Coulter if she does not apologize for a series of tweets that many construed as anti-Semitic. “How many f—ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?” Coulter said on Twitter during the final minutes of the three-hour […]

Over a week has gone by since Iranian leaders’ vague threats to destroy Israel have become more specific, yet neither U.S. President Barack Obama nor any other major world leader has condemned it.
