Candles of remembrance will be lit today at 4 p.m. wherever there are Ukrainians. These millions of testaments to memory for the victims of one of history’s gravest crimes will show that Ukrainians have not forgotten and will never forgive Moscow for this genocide. We all know

The truth. This book, written in Latin in 1695, describes the region called Palestine at that time. Author Adriani Relandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist. He understood many languages, including Arabic, Ancient Greek and Hebrew. He described nearly 2,500

The Civil Rights Movement as we know it would have died in the cradle without Jewish Americans. Fact: Jews co-founded the NAACP in 1909. Fact: Jewish money kept the lights on (sometimes over 50% of the budget). Fact: Jewish lawyers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Black

EDITORIAL | Antissemitismo nas Arcadas – “Os alunos que impediram um judeu de falar são antissemitas que exploram a causa palestina como desculpa para destilar seu ódio”. Leia o texto completo em @opiniao_estadao > https://t.co/s5zZOHFX1e

Former pro-Palestine activist Taryn Thomas explains how she was sucked into the anti-Israel movement: “I just assumed that as a leftist, I should also be pro-Palestine, even if I don't know all of the facts…. If you are silent on the matter, you are contributing to that

Tonight begins the holiday of Sigd, a special Jewish holiday of worship observed by Ethiopian Jews. The Beta Israel have worshiped Sigd for centuries, a holiday that represents acceptance of the Torah. Some theories have Sigd as an entirely Beta Israeli holiday, created as a

I don’t get how anyone uses AI for research. It just tortures me: it gets basic facts wrong, makes up studies and authors, contradicts itself, and forgets things I’ve just explained to it. It can’t even do simple arithmetic. Am I using it wrong somehow?

The Holocaust was a society-wide trauma that recoded 'antisemitism' into a pure signifier of evil. In its wake, the specific nature of classical antisemitism—as an articulated political ideology, a worldview of exclusion, and a program of violence—was forgotten. What had been a

There are libraries of books on Zionism, on Israel’s history, identity, dilemmas, wars, and aspirations. Yet on antizionism, the most widespread, organized, and lethal ideological assault on Jewish existence since the fall of the Third Reich, we find shockingly little. Some

Every vaccine in the world today traces back to one forgotten Jewish scientist. Waldemar Mordechai Haffkine was born in 1860 in Odessa to a Jewish family living under Russian rule. He grew up brilliant, curious - and constantly reminded he was an outsider. At university, he was

I'd like to add something. The Antizionists, who advance a "Happy Dhimmi" myth of peaceable coexistence, claim that the association of Jews in the Arab World with colonialism and the west was a product of Zionism. This is false. Whatever the relative merits of the dar
Mr. Foster has taken it upon himself to become my latest reply guy. Fine - I’ll bite. He’s an anti-Zionist arguing that Judaism and Zionism are completely bifurcated, insisting that his Jewish identity exists in a hermetically sealed world where the two never intersect. According

Tel Aviv is one of the BEST cities in the world. Contrary to what the mainstream media tries to tell you. As an Iranian that’s not Jewish I had the best time and was treated with respect and was shown so much love. Don’t let the media fool you. I will be doing a host of

A postura autoritária e intolerante do DA de direito da USP contra a presença do cientista político e presidente da ONG Stand With Us, André Lajst, que levou a Faculdade de Direito a adiar um evento que ele participaria, revela a face cruel do anti-semitismo.

Pelas notícias diárias, parece que apenas Israel é vítima do terrorismo. Aí nas efemérides lembramos de sua escala global, com surpresa.
🇫🇷 The attacks at the #Bataclan concert hall on November 13, 2015 brought tragedy to a group of people who gathered to enjoy a night of music. A decade since, some of the victims (and the members of their families) now find community and solace in music, as part of a choir.

A New School, onde fiz meu doutorado, e a cidade de Nova York, foram lugares onde pude ser eu mesma, sem colocar em segundo plano minhas tradições intelectuais. Tenho saudades daquela cidade e daquela escola, sem dúvida.
NYC: Flyers at The New School are calling for the removal of Hillel, a vital safe haven for Jewish students found on campuses across the country. Let’s be clear — this isn’t about Palestinian rights. The goal here is to vilify, isolate, and erase Jews from campus life.

There are as few courageous voices and champions for peace, out there as @daliaziada! Deeply proud to call her a friend.

Antizionism accepts as axiomatic the Enlightenment’s legal fiction that Judaism is only a religion, a private creed, not a collective polity. That fiction was the price of emancipation. Equality in exchange for depoliticization. Jews could enter the framework of citizenship only
