The need to humanize the catastrophe,…

On Oct. 29, a video emerged of an anti-vaxxer ranting at a local school board meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, where she used a public comment period to espouse hateful conspiracies about Jews, whom she accused of controlling the pharmaceutical industry.
Her accusations dripped with many of the classic conspiratorial tropes that have dogged Jews for millennia.
Whenever there’s a global crisis …

A mezuzah ripped from a doorpost of the Hillel at Northeastern University. An advertisement for a Jewish event at Emerson College defaced with antisemitic graffiti. A swastika, a Star of David, and the words “Is Illegal” drawn on a car belonging to a Chabad rabbi at Santa Monica College.

OPINION
In corners of the progressive world, there has been an emerging trend of shifting the anti-Israel narrative away from criticizing Israel, to demonizing Zionism and Zionists.
The demonization of Zionism is not anything new — the Soviets perfected it back in the 1960s and 70s, as part of their antisemitic propaganda campaigns, culminating in the infamous Zionism=Racism UN resolution of 1975.
What’s new today is that this language has…

This week marked the 48th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. In many ways, this was the most frightening conflict in Israel’s history. The country was caught by surprise and the first week of the war saw many Israeli casualties and concern that the country was running out of armaments as it had to deal simultaneously with attacks from Egypt in the south and Syria from the north.
While the Sinai remained a buffer for Israel in the south, the Syrian gains…
