The Ticking Time Bomb of Islamic Jew-hatred in the USA
When Imams in mosques in North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas and California called for the killing of Jews, American organizations were quiet. No one protested or called on President Donald Trump to confront Muslim supremacy.
Is Trump Good for the Jews?
Liberal American Jews are free to disagree with President Trump. Yet, if they still consider themselves Jews, they owe Trump a measure of respect for his support for the Jewish state of Israel and cracking down on its enemies.
American Jews Support Israel but do They Really Care?
Many American Jews may feel fondness for Israel but do not respect the people of Israel to determine what is good for Israel themselves. They discount the Israeli perspective and do not fully appreciate Israeli democracy.
Diaspora Jewry is Reaching an End
Before the establishment of Israel, the destiny of millions of Jews was decided by the whims of Christian Europe and the Muslim world. What has changed dramatically is that today there is a powerful Jewish state.
Tears Will be Shed Today
Because every single day, all around us, anti-Semitism is alive, festering, growing, becoming more deadly, more horrific and more violent. And there are people - too many people - who feed that hatred.
JFNA, Time for you to Listen

Maslow’s Pyramids of Diaspora Support for Israel
Beyond a nearly universal approval of Israel’s existence, Jews outside of Israel have to reconcile Israel’s political necessities and national interests with those of their home nation, very often putting them at odds.
Israel, This Is Exactly Who We Are

How the NIF is Ruining Israel’s Democracy
In the Israeli political discourse, the New Israel Fund is identified with the most extreme fringes of the left and in the eyes of many Israelis, the NIF undermines Israeli democracy.
The Selective Outrage of Jewish Organizations
Liberal Jewish organizations who condemn the nation state law and Israel's actions in Gaza remain oddly silent over Jewish lives lost and ecological disasters caused by Arab terror.

Israel’s Self-Inflicted Wonderment
Ron Lauder blames Israeli policies for the impasse with the Arabs and for the assimilation occurring in the Diaspora, while oblivious to the realities in Israel that completely refute his claims
