Obama, affirm the Jewish people's 3,200 year old connection to the Land of Israel
President Obama should affirm the Jewish people's historic connection with its homeland, absent from his 2009 Cairo speech, as well as to call for religious freedom for all Jews, a renewal of the peace process, and an effective response to Iran’s nuclear military ambitions.

Quinoa and Orthodox Judaism's relevancy problem
The question of long-term vitality of Judaism may ultimately come down to the question of relevance and whether Orthodox Jews are seen more as keepers of the faith or gatekeepers of the faith.

Slander Israel's critics as anti-Semites, shut down debate on Israel's atrocities
Diaspora Jewish defense organizations' calculated paranoia brands harsh critics of Israeli policy as anti-Semites because it serves their interests: What’s good for the occupation is good for Netanyahu’s Israel , which is good for the Diaspora Jewish establishment.

Jewish critics who betray the struggle against anti-Semitism
When left-wing Israeli and American Jewish commentators accuse British Jews of engineering anti-Semitic controversies for the benefit of the pro-Israel 'machine', their cynicism and hypocrisy knows no bounds.

British gatekeepers of Zionism have shut the door on liberal Zionists
Why did the UK umbrella Zionist organization decide to exclude Yachad, a pro-Israel pro-peace movement, and how does that cultivate open, public debate in the Diaspora regarding what defines Zionism in the 21st century?
By Hannah Weisfeld | Mar 12, 2013 | 05:19 PM | 3
Diaspora Jews want to be Israel’s partners - not only its donors
North American Jews are no longer willing to just send money to Israel with no say in what goes on there: We have a stake in Israel, as true partners who want to ensure Israel lives up to the best of our Jewish human rights values.
