    Two years ago, Oxford University Press invited me to write a book -- "Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know". The book is now a "Best Seller" on Amazon & has reached #1 on its Political History list. Alas, the topic couldn't be more timely & urgent. Please take a look.

    When I wonder how long we’ll be in #COVID lockdown, I think of my: -Wife, then 16, hiding for weeks in Libya in 1967, as mobs searched for Jews -Mom, as a teenager, fleeing Nazis in France -Dad fighting Nazis 1939-1945 They had it worse. I’m always inspired by their strength.

    Here’s what I’d like to know. UN has 193 member states. Only one—democratic Israel—is judged by a different standard than all others. Why? Only one—Israel—has its right to exist challenged. Why? Only one—Israel—is target of boycotts, divestment, sanctions. Why? Gee, I wonder.

    These words of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. were first expressed in 1964. 56 years later, they remain every bit as timely and relevant. We need to remember them. Even more, we need to act on them. Now.

    Ever notice how some people relentlessly & absurdly try to claim: -Holocaust never happened -No Jewish link to Jerusalem -Jews aren’t indigenous to the Middle East -Jews aren’t a people This is “cancel culture” on steroids. It didn’t begin yesterday, either. Any guess why?

    #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?

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

    Why is Spain so adamant to see the creation of a "State of Palestine" 2000+ miles away, yet so opposed to the creation of a "State of Catalonia"? Aren't we taught that "charity begins at home"?

    Winston Churchill saved the world from the most murderous fascist, racist & antisemite in history. While US was neutral & USSR was a Nazi ally, Churchill-led UK faced Hitler alone from June 1940 to June 1941. It’s shameful that whoever defaced his monument didn’t know or care.

    #Turkey OCCUPIED Gaza for 400 yrs. Never offered independence. Turkey MASSACRED 1.5 million Armenian Christians. To this day, never acknowledged the genocide. Turkey was NEUTRAL & PROFITED from war against greatest evil in human history—German Nazism. Turkey has OCCUPIED 37%
