The Consequential Mistake of Confusing Lawfare With Justice

The irony, as history and contemporary cases reveal, is that lawfare often generates outcomes precisely opposite to its intentions.

If You Don't Know What to Say to a Jew

Countless Jews have stood up for others throughout history. Now it is your turn to stand with us.

The Case for Colonizing Gaza

Some cultures have to be forced into the light.

Sorry but Israeli settlers are not the main problem.

Focusing solely on the Israeli settler movement, while ignoring other pertinent realities, is not just intellectually lazy. It is a double standard creatively disguised as antisemitism.

'International law' undermines Israel.

If there are no consequences for starting and losing a war, is it any wonder why people start wars so often?

Most people are not antisemites, but that is not the point.

As a makeshift sign I recently saw in Israel said: "Tolerating antisemitism is antisemitism."

I used to hate being Jewish. This is what I didn’t know.

Stories the Media Purposely Ignore About Israel

This is not just a whine about the state of journalism and media bias. The stakes are incredibly high in terms of the war itself and the rise in antisemitism globally.

Immigrants forgot what it means to be an immigrant.

The Jewish story of immigration serves as a model often neglected by more recent immigrants.

Jews are always the punchline, apparently.

Antisemitism came for my progressive think tank.

As a liberal Jew, I have stopped apologizing.

"Good" liberal Jews genuinely feel compassion for those killed and displaced on both sides. They want peace. But they are also embarrassed.

For the last time, Israel is not attacking journalists.

It is time we stopped conflating propaganda operatives with journalists. If we are going to call out Israel for “attacking the press,” let’s make sure it is actually the press we are talking about.

The Only Moral Position on Zionism

To all the Jewish "anti-Zionists" out there, this is for you.

Would this be acceptable if Jews were not the victims?

This is what happens when Jews are the victims — and why it so often goes ignored.

The Hidden Message From Nazi Germany's 'Night of Broken Glass'

We should stand with the Jewish People today — not because tomorrow may be too late, but because today is as bad as it should have to get.
