Last week, it was reported that President Donald J. Trump had a heated phone call with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. In the phone call, Trump, referring to Israel’s continued incursion into Beirut, supposedly lost it with Bibi and said something like, “Are you ******* crazy? If not for me, you would be in jail! Now the whole world hates you.”
What do all these things have in common? They all represent rabid anti-Semitism with nothing done about it.
Someone I knew wrote a letter to a particular audience. The letter stated that although the writer is in the chareidi camp and normally does not participate in the Israel Day Parade, this year would be different.
Mother’s Day. A day for remembering to appreciate Mom. We send flowers, balloons, cards, and take her out to dinner.
Whenever you hear “As a Jew…,” you know you’re going to hear some of the worst vitriol against Israel from that Jew. Last week, we saw New York City Comptroller Brad Lander – a candidate for Congressman in the 10th Congressional District and an early supporter of Zohran Mamdani – distinguish himself “as a Jew.”
Last week, the Israeli Supreme Court issued a draconian ruling that those who are eligible to serve in the army but refuse to do so will be subject to cuts in government funding. The cuts include rent subsidies, childcare, after-school programs, and some food subsidies. This comes on the heels of a justice of the Supreme Court being heard stating on an open mic to his colleagues that we must dismantle the Torah world.
