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.

.⁦@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.

USA has few better friends in the Middle East than #Kurds. They're there when we need them, but we're not always there when they need us. Today, millions of Kurds in northern #Iraq face military threats & economic warfare from #Iran & Iran-backed Iraq. They need our help. NOW.

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?
