Sanders should capitalize on the fervor of his base, including many young Jewish voters, to win the Democratic nomination, and block an authoritarian racist like Bloomberg. That’s not blackmail, it’s principled, hardball politics
Our big, florid president shouted about a 'caravan.' The shooter joined the mob declaring: The Jews are behind it all. To which our answer is: We, as Jews, will welcome every single person seeking safety and opportunity
I'm not 'outraged' or 'insulted' by Netanyahu reneging on his commitments to liberal U.S. Jews. I don't need the Western Wall to be Jewish - nor do I need Israel
