    The gas chambers in Auschwitz did not begin with bricks, they began with words,ugly hateful,words against Jews and other minorities. Jewish tradition teaches us words can hurt , words can kill. The blatant words of hate ,racism, antisemitism,Islamophobia,misogyny at yesterday’s

    I am cancelling my subscription to NYTimes. I grew up in America on the NYT- I delivered the NYT to my classmates- I learned civics- democracy and all the news”fit to print” for 65 years but no more. Today’s blood libel of Israel and the Jewish people on the front page is enough

    New York Times ,your bias is unbelievable!The only picture you can find to publish today on the front page of the hostage swap -is not the picture of an Israeli kidnapped child but of a convicted Palestinian terrorist. Shame!

    I am pleased that Zone of Interest was won the best international film at the Oscars - but as a survivor of the Holocaust I am shocked the director would slap the memory of over 1 million Jews who died because they were Jews by announcing he refutes his Jewishness. Shame on you.

    Elon Musk may be the world’s richest man but that does not excuse his thanking the Trump supporters with a Heil Hitler Nazi salute.i addition to supporting Germany’s neo-Nazi party in the next elections it is a very disconcerting image.

    ABC should not make Whoopi Goldberg a martyr of cancel culture. Mandate her to spend time at the US Holocaust Museum in DC to learn history. Don’t punish her - educate her. All my professional life I advocated that it is more important to change minds hearts then to punish them.

    I know in my heart that in the future, it will be better,for Jews in America,then it is today. But I fear it will never be the same. After 50 years fighting antisemitism in America , I could not have imagined a time -Jews would have to meet in secret locations in Chicago at DNC.

    No amount of acrobatics can justify Musk’s frequent embraces of antisemitic themes and providing X as a-majo platform for his antisemitism. His recent criticism of Hamas and promise to ban some ugly anti-Israel expressions- do not vitiate his endorsement of antisemitism

    I admire and appreciate what President Biden has accomplished in his presidential term- but to put the blame on Israel for lack of progress in bringing peace to Gaza on “ a conservative war cabinet” and not Hamas , Hezbollah and Iran, is outrageous.

    Imagine if American Jews picketed and demonstrated in Arab-Muslim communities and in front of mosques— blocking traffic and intimidating the residents because many muslims support Palestinians? There would be outrage in America- that is what is occurring in Teaneck ,NJ

    It is not enough for Senator Schumer and other Democrats to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada “- they need to condemn those especially in their own Democratic Party who not only do not condemn it but embrace and defend it. Zohran Mamdani,, Democratic candidate for Mayor

    Have been watching graduations this week-Harvard, CUNY,NYU and others- all were outrageous in their disrespect for other human beings, for America and basic American values. Sadly our universities need to reinforce again basic codes of behavior and respect. There also needs

    I can only describe Rep.AOC’s Christmas Eve message-as hateful and dangerous .Comparing the death of Jesus to the current day death of Palestinians in Gaza and Mary and Joseph to current Palestinian refugees in Gaza- she invokes the charge that the Jews are again killing Jesus !

    It’s time for PM Netanyahu to discipline and replace Diaspora Minister Chikli - he continues to insult the Jewish diaspora and now accusing the president of the United Stated of colluding with Israel’s opposition and inflaming unrest. Enough is enough !
