This Rosh Hashanah, Jewish Unity Is Our Answer

From Indoctrination To Peace

Never Again Is Now And Loods 24
The phrase “Never Again” emerged from the ashes of that catastrophe. It was supposed to be a universal warning. A promise that the world would recognize the warning signs before persecution became violence and before violence became genocide. It was a moral commitment to confront antisemitism wherever it emerged.
August 9, 2026
Israel Beyond the Headlines
Israel is far more than the conflicts that so often make international news. It is a country built on resilience, determination, creativity, and hope. Behind every scientific breakthrough, humanitarian mission, archaeological discovery, and cultural celebration are people who believe that tomorrow can be better than today.
August 9, 2026
Why the Two-State Solution Is No Longer a Solution
The Jewish people did not receive some enormous colonial empire carved out of an Arab continent. Israel emerged on a very small piece of territory in a Middle East overwhelmingly populated and governed by Arabs and Muslims.

Israel Feels Like Home, Except I Cannot Live There
Israel has occupied an enormous place in my life for years. I advocate for the country. I defend it. I study its history. I follow its politics and security. I have visited repeatedly.

I Have a Hamas Cat
On October 7, Hamas did not attack because it needed food. It did not murder because it needed territory that very day. It massacred innocent civilians with extraordinary brutality.

The “Palestinian” infectious illness: Obsession
The world contains countless conflicts and humanitarian disasters. Millions of people suffer under brutal dictatorships and violent regimes.

Has the World Gone Completely Crazy?
The world has gone crazy. It is incomprehensible that the global community has turned its back to the Jewish state, the only democracy in the Middle East, the country that contributed so much to the world, and the country that celebrates life, even the life of her enemies.

Can Jews Still Trust Their Doctors?
Whether one supports Israel, Palestine, or neither side should be irrelevant. A medical facility should never be associated with messages that glorify violence against civilians or target people because they are Jews.
June 3, 2026
Values, Culture, and the Search for Peace
The conflict surrounding Israel is often presented primarily as a dispute over territory. While territory is certainly part of the issue, I believe the conflict also involves competing historical narratives, political visions, security concerns, religious beliefs, and differing ideas about governance and society.

The Betrayal of Jerusalem: Washington’s Toxic Ego
For decades, Israel has played the part of the loyal, reliable frontline defender of Western values in a region that eats weakness for breakfast.

A Dangerous Pause Israel Cannot Afford
There are moments in history when hesitation is not just a mistake but a danger. This is one of them. Many Israelis and supporters of Israel are asking a simple and urgent question: what exactly is the United States doing, and why now? After strong declarations about stopping Iran and promises of overwhelming consequences, the sudden push for a two week ceasefire feels like a collapse of strategy at the worst possible moment.

Global Anti-Israel Hysteria
Millions of people who have never studied the region, who do not understand the strategic realities Israel faces, and who have little familiarity with the long arc of Middle Eastern history confidently take positions that are presented as moral certainties. This is not informed judgment. It is mass psychology.

I Am Sick of Silence While Israel Is Targeted
If history teaches us anything, it is this: silence is never neutral. Silence always sides with the aggressor. And Jews and those who stand with Israel have paid the price of silence before.

Loving Israel Enough to Tell the Truth
Israel is not just another country. It is judged differently, whether fair or not. Every Israeli interaction becomes ammunition in a hostile world eager to demonize the Jewish state.

Facts First: Why Truth Matters for Israel
In an age of instant outrage and viral misinformation, publishing factual, verifiable news is no longer just a journalistic virtue, it is a moral necessity. This is especially true when it comes to Israel, terrorism, and the highly charged discussions surrounding Islamist extremism.

Selective Humanitarianism and the Israel Exception
Israel is targeted precisely because it is open, democratic, legally accountable, and morally constrained. Dictatorships are ignored because they do not listen. Israel is attacked because it does.

Selective Justice and Middle East Hypocrisy
The word corruption has become a political weapon, not against the worst offenders, but against Israel. No leader in the Middle East has been scrutinized, investigated, prosecuted, and publicly dissected like Benjamin Netanyahu. Not because Israel is uniquely corrupt, but because Israel is uniquely democratic.

The Pathetic Western Obsession with Blaming Israel
For decades, Israel has lived with a simple, bitter truth: when Jews are attacked, the world shrugs; when Jews defend themselves, the world erupts in moral hysteria. October 7, 2023 exposed this hypocrisy in the most brutal and undeniable way.

The UN’s Long Illusion of Neutrality
For decades we were told that the United Nations and its many agencies; UNTSO, UNIFIL, UNRWA etc, were stabilizing forces in the Middle East. Neutral, reliable, guardians of ceasefires. My family’s experience inside the UN system, combined with the last 75 years of failures, tells a very different story.

Druze, Gaza, and Israel’s Lesson in Choices
he Druze of Suwayda: Between Isolation and Loyalty The Druze are a small but fascinating community that emerged in the 11th century, branching off from Ismaili Shi’ism and developing a unique faith blending Islamic, Gnostic, and monotheistic traditions. Secrecy and tight-knit solidarity have been hallmarks of their survival.

Islam, Peace, and the Tragedy of Hamas
Islam is often described as a religion of peace. The word itself comes from the Arabic root s-l-m, meaning peace and submission. Millions of Muslims worldwide live by values of compassion, justice, and coexistence. Yet, groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, and ISIS distort Islam into a weapon of terror. They desecrate the very faith they claim to uphold.

When Hatred Masquerades as Justice
A Worldwide Surge in Antisemitism After October 7 The scale of antisemitic incidents after October 7 shocked even those who had long warned about its rise. In the United States, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded more than 9,000 antisemitic incidents in 2024 alone, the highest number in its history. This included assaults, threats, vandalism of synagogues, Jewish schools, and cemeteries, as well as a tidal wave of online harassment.

How Israel Turned the Desert Into a Garden
When Israel declared independence in 1948, more than 60% of its land was desert, dry, scorching, and seemingly unfit for life. The Negev Desert, stretching from Be’er Sheva to Eilat, was a vast expanse of sand and stone where most experts believed nothing significant could grow. Yet, within a single generation, Israel transformed this barren wilderness into one of the world’s most productive and innovative agricultural regions.

When Reason Meets Radicalization: Why Facts Alone Cannot Change a Hateful Mind
November 27, 2025
Radical Islamist Extremism in Europe
Radical Islamist extremism in Europe is a minority phenomenon with a major shadow. It exploits identity crises, foreign conflicts and digital technologies to project an influence far beyond its numbers. Jews and Israelis are often directly in its crosshairs, but so are many Muslims and other minorities. A clear distinction between Islam and Islamism, between the vast peaceful majority and the violent fringe, is essential—not only for fairness but also for effectiveness. Demonising all Muslims strengthens the narrative of the extremists; working with Muslim allies to isolate and defeat radical Islamism weakens it. For you as a Jewish/Israeli individual, the combination of good information (like the sources above), realistic caution, and strategic alliances with non-extremist Muslims and other partners is the healthiest response to a complex and worrying reality.

Israel’s Goodness the World Refuses to See
Israel is one of the most extraordinary countries ever to exist. A place where the moral clarity of the West blends with the warmth, passion, and soul of the East. A nation powered by the creativity, resilience, intelligence and ancient wisdom of the Jewish people. And yet, despite all this, Israel is also the country most unfairly hated, misrepresented, and envied.
