How American Jews can cope with the Democratic Party’s betrayal

Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Jew, will skip her state’s Democratic nominating convention because she fears antisemitic harassment—“getting yelled and screamed at.” New York City’s Democrat Mayor Zohran Mamdani excused the stabbing attack of a Jew...

Abdul El-Sayed Lies: “Apartheid” Israel is a paradise for its Arab citizens

Last week, Abdul El-Sayed, who just won the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, accused Israel of, among other calumnies, the crime of “apartheid.” Like similar anti-Israel libels currently in vogue (e.g., “genocide,” “starvation”) the assertion that Israel is an apartheid state has no factual basis—indeed, the inverse is true. Israel isn’t just the only democracy in the Middle East and North Africa, it’s also the region’s only country that grants equal rights to all its citizens.

Fact is, Israeli Arabs enjoy rights and freedoms their brethren in any Arab state can only dream of...READ MORE

Mamdani goes full Hi**er: Mayor’s seven big lies against Israel exposed

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a video last month that should go down in history as one of the most antisemitic diatribes since Adolf Hi**er's speeches in the 1930s.

While Hi**er used a long list of notorious lies to blame Jews for attacking Germany and undermining the international order, Mamdani used the same slanderous technique to blame Jews for the wholesale murder of Palestinians. Mamdani used a sleazy rhetorical smokescreen to...READ MORE

Rahm Emanuel tells “friendly” lies in Israel to win votes of American Democrats

Earlier this month, former Obama chief of staff, U.S. House member and Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel visited Israel under the pretense of being “a friend of Israel.” As such, he gave a speech that spun a series of lies, half-truths and fantasies, putatively attempting to convince Israelis to reject their current leadership and pursue a long-failed strategy for peace. However, as a potential U.S. presidential contender in...READ MORE

Ro Khanna's attempt to embarrass Israel exposes ineptitude . . . and a loser’s message

House member Ro Khanna (D-CA) makes believe he's presidential material, but instead looks increasingly qualified as a political clown. His act is so full of cheap tricks, we're no longer surprised when he stumbles and embarrasses himself.

That's what happened last week in Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank"), where Khanna orchestrated what he hoped would be a scandal of sloppy Israeli overreach...READ MORE:

UN piles new anti-Israel lies atop a mountain of slander and corruption

Last month, the United Nations’ Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel (COI), issued a report falsely accusing Israel of intentionally killing Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. True to UN form, this anti-Israel screed provides not a shred of evidence that Israel deliberately harmed any innocent civilians, nor does it mention Hamas’s use of human shields nor Israel’s unparalleled success at limiting civilian casualties in a treacherous urban war.

Why did Vance betray Israel while coddling the Middle East’s biggest bully?

U.S. Vice President JD Vance had a very tough job last week responding to blistering criticism of the Trump Administration's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for starting negotiations with Iran. Lamentably, Vance's performance in Geneva failed the task and actually inflamed a bad situation.

AP article dishonestly blames Israel for uptick in Gaza child marriages

On May 29th, the Associated Press (AP) published an article alleging that acute poverty has forced families in the Gaza Strip to marry off their prepubescent daughters to stave off hunger and financial ruin. The insinuation of this “new” trend is that it’s caused by the devastating war the Gazan people have suffered because of (wait for it) . . . the excessive destruction wrought by Israel in its battle against Hamas. Unfortunately for AP’s journalistic integrity, the story is full of holes.

Why American Jews’ rejection of Zionist identity is suicidal

Shockingly, only 37% of American Jews consider themselves Zionists—believers in the fundamental, millennia-long aspiration of the Jewish people for liberation. When asked for an explanation as to why a majority of American Jews don’t identify as Zionists, scholar-author Dara Horn replied simply, “They’re dumb.”

As Democrats drive Jews from the Party, time to reconsider allegiances?

Jewish Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht jolted friends when he recently announced he was leaving the Democratic Party, citing the group’s “acquiescence to Jew-hatred.” Wecht not only voted Democrat, he was a decades-long activist who won two races for the Supreme Court as a Democrat. Wecht noted that the party too often...
