My new book is now available on #Amazon for preorder:. ANTISEMITISM: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press). Meant for a wide readership, it looks at #antisemitism in both historical & contemporary contexts -- and the strategies for combating this age-old hatred.

Where are the UN resolutions for the #Kurds?. Where are the college encampments for the Kurds?. Where are the street protests for the Kurds?. There are 40-60 million Kurds in the M. East. They have their own language, culture, history, identity. But they have no country. WHY?

No offense, but your grasp of history is nonexistent. Just like the claim there was once a Palestinian Arab state. Never was. 1st chance was in 1947-8, but that was nixed by the Arab world. So were all later offers. Tragically, the consistent theme is Palestinian rejectionism.
@DavidHarrisNY No offense, but your grasp of history is paper-thin. Palestine isn’t Catalonia or Kosovo. It’s not a separatist regional conflict — it’s a nation that existed prior to Israel , now under occupation, denied statehood, bombed, blockaded, and displaced for decades. Over 130.

#Spain won't consider giving independence to #Catalonia. Nor recognize #Kosovo, independent since 2008. Nor support statehood for 40-60 million #Kurds. But when it comes to "Palestine"--which isn't established, much less functioning--Spain's fully on board. WHY THE HYPOCRISY?

Brought to you by #Spain which:. -Launched #Inquisition against the Jews. -Took 500 years to apologize. -Had a fascist regime for decades. -Stayed neutral in WW2, history's most epic war. -Didn't fully recognize #Israel for decades. -Competes w/ #Ireland as most hostile in Europe.
🚨 BREAKING: Spain officially announces it will prosecute Netanyahu and Israeli leaders in its domestic courts for committing war crimes.

.@EinatWilf is one of the most thoughtful, perceptive & eloquent voices on the Middle East. In this @JBSTVORG interview, she pulls no punches & cuts through the diplomatic gobbledygook to get to the heart of the issues. A must-watch show.

If you want to:. Bankrupt New York w/ socialist fantasies. Increase crime, disorder. Decrease investment, job creation. Encourage New Yorkers to flee. Elect someone who falsely claimed to be African American. Endanger a million-plus Jewish residents. @ZohranKMamdani is your guy.

Did Hamas invade #Israel on Oct. 7 to demand a 2-state deal?. NO. Zero interest in peace. To oust Israelis from Gaza?. NO. Israelis haven't lived in Gaza since 2005. To break an Israeli "siege"?. NO. Gaza also borders Egypt. So why?. To destroy Israel. They'll never succeed.

No, Pres. Trump shouldn't have said "Shylock." Agreed. Yet you support Zohran "Globalize the Intifada" Mamdani for New York mayor. And when Pres. Trump laudably targeted Iran's nuclear program, aimed at annihilating Israel, you were critical. Stop putting party over principle.
The term ‘Shylock’ is one of the most recognizable antisemitic slurs in the English language. It’s a centuries-old trope that has fueled discrimination, hatred, and violence against Jews for generations. I condemn Donald Trump’s dangerous use of this blatantly antisemitic slur.

Dear Chana,. As you know, too many European govts, not to mention USA, have chosen to appease Erdogan's Turkey rather than face stark reality of who he is & what his policies are. As always, I stand w/ #Cyprus, #Greece, #Kurdistan & #Israel, all targets of Pres. Erdogan. David.

A timeless example of moral heroism:. In WW2, Nazis occupied Greek island of Zakynthos. They summoned the mayor & bishop, & demanded a list of the island’s 275 Jews. The mayor & bishop submitted a list with only 2 names on it -- their own!. Every single Jew was hidden & saved.

And I'd add one more name. MICHEL BACOS was the Air France pilot of the hijacked plane. Given the chance to leave Entebbe when non-Jews were released, he refused. He & his crew chose to stay, insisting his obligation was to all his passengers. Moral courage. Heroism. Decency.
Today, we honor the heroes of Operation Entebbe. We remember the three hostages who were tragically killed during the rescue operation, and the elderly female hostage who had been taken to a local hospital before the operation began—only to be murdered after the mission’s

Why does USA, under both Republicans & Democrats, continue to appease, coddle & indulge Erdogan's Turkey?. How much longer can USA downplay Turkey's occupation of foreign lands, ties to Muslim Brotherhood, threats to democracy, neo-Ottoman aims?. High time to get real w/ Turkey!

I’m the first member of my family born in 🇺🇸. Everyone older fled fascism or communism -- meaning state repression, violence, denial of human rights -- to get here. They always viewed American citizenship as a sacred gift of freedom, opportunity & responsibility. And so do I.

The legendary Winston Churchill was spot on:. “No two cities have counted more w/ mankind than Athens & Jerusalem. Their messages in religion, philosophy & art have been the main guiding lights of modern faith & culture.”. Here’s to eternal friendship between Athens & Jerusalem!

Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million #Kurds?. Kurds have a proud identity. long history. distinctive language. rich culture. unquenchable yearning for freedom. welcoming tradition. But they have no state of their own. Yes, why?
