I feel I can say with some limited authority that I don't fear another Holocaust of the Jews under a returned President Donald Trump.

Elon Musk looms gargantuan over our world. He has life-sized rockets and cars for his playthings. Every word he has to say—even if it's Russian propaganda—is heard by tens of millions.

The truth is hard to find anywhere, but particularly on social media. Mark Zuckerberg, the leader of Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, wants to make it harder.

Let's have a normal Democratic National Convention, everyone. Let's have a convention where the voices of the mob outside don't drown out messages of unity and love on the inside.

Former President Donald Trump is desperate to become the oldest person elected to the presidency, which is exactly what he would be should he take office again in January.I’ll admit, age is not the first thing you think of when you think of Trump. Bombast comes to mind, and if you’re not one of his supporters, that’s just where the nasty words start. The man has been artificially and unhealthily orange for a while now. The hair has always been the hair. As a native New Yorker, I’ve been living w…

For as long as the Holy Land has been holy, pilgrims have made their way to Jerusalem.They have come to offer their sacrifices to God, or to bear witness to his suffering. They have come to pray and contemplate their own place in God’s creation, and they have come to buy cheap souvenirs, including T-shirts freshly made with the emblem of their colleges back home.The point is, they have always come.But since October 7, they haven’t.“Work stopped instantly,” after Oct. 7, said guide Dvir Hollander…

Think of the people kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 and you might see a collage of faces. They are young, old, men with and without beards, women, boys, girls. And whatever passports they hold, they might well be Jewish.What might be less likely is that they are Muslim, Arab, Bedouin.The reality is that Ali Ziadna’s family suffered that day like so many others across southern Israel, where some 1,200 people were killed and 251 more were taken hostage. Twenty-one Bedouin are among the dead, with six…

It sounded like a conversation between two old acquaintances anywhere. How are you? How’s the family?Finally, David Doron asked the man on the other end of the line what he was doing, eight months after Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.“I’m just basically sleeping all day. I’m not doing anything. I’m keeping out of sight,” he replied.When asked where he was, the Palestinian man said he was somewhere between Rafah and Khan Yunis in Gaza. Doron was making the call from his Volkswagen SUV in Kfar…

Another shot has been fired in Israel’s ongoing internal war.The country’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Ultra-Orthodox Jews known as Haredim must join the Israel Defense Forces for the first time. It also states that male Haredim will no longer receive government funding to study Jewish texts at schools called yeshivas and in adult study halls called kollels.The ruling — and an immediate pledge by some Haredi Jews to defy it — underline Israel’s internal battle between secular and religio…

The encampment on George Washington University’s campus was loud and triumphant. Brown University had decided to seemingly cave in to their pro-Palestine group that had been camping out on the central space the school calls “the Green,” earlier in the week. Next October, student protesters will be allowed to present a case before a board for the university to cut ties with anything related to Israel’s war machine.Of course, other schools, like UCLA and University of Texas at Austin and Columbia…
