Claiming that the Jew-bashing “shares much with other hate crimes perpetrated in our society,” masks this far-left anti-Zionist hooliganism with a phrase that usually points to hate on the right.

In politics, ‘grace’ combines compassion with class. Every healthy democracy needs heaps of grace, especially during elections and government transitions.

Amid mounting policy headaches, Prime Minister-to-be Bennett and President-to-be Herzog must heal the country and reaffirm faith in democracy.

All over the Jewish world people like me were standing up and going public, not just to defend our people — but to celebrate us.
