Netanyahu's shameful attribution of the Bondi Beach massacre to Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state shows a willingness to manipulate even a blatantly antisemitic attack to score political points. That endangers Jews by cheapening antisemitism.

The political point scoring that has erupted after the terror attack last week is unusual in Australia, where leaders tend to unite after catastrophes.

My attempts to sketch my four year old are constantly frustrated by her truculent resistance to my instructions to hold her pose. “You’re not abbozzo me” she huffs. #artwiculate

We argue endlessly about Israel. But most American Jews have never seen what’s happening on the ground in the West Bank. @JeremyBenAmi urges us to stop debating in the abstract – and look directly at what’s being done in our name: https://t.co/e3EunlYfAW
