Oscars

This Purim, I'm lifting a glass to Iran

This year, I toast the Oscar victory that saw people with courage to cross a room, armed only with open hearts, and turn mortal conflict into conversation.

Protester calling for boycott of Israel

It's Israeli Apartheid Week. Just tell the truth

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is mounting its annual Israeli Apartheid Week. Yet this year, there is something different - people have begun telling the truth about BDS.

Israeli settler outpost in the West Bank, April 25, 2010

Ahmadinejad's Iran is the new best friend of Israeli settlers

As the Israeli public hunkers and frets in dread and denial of what might happen if Iran were left to develop nuclear weapons - and in dread and denial of what might happen if it were prevented from doing so - the settlement movement scores triumph after triumph.

MLK - Reuters - January 2012

Rabbi Martin Luther King (1929 - )

For American Jews, those in Israel as well, Dr. King, our most profoundly influential sage in the last century, remains alive in what's left of our better selves. Dr. King saw better than the rest of us. May we, here, in this sick and troubled place, come to see more like he did.

Benjamin Netanyahu - Emil Salman - 9.1.2012
