There were Jews who joined the pro-Trump assault on the Capitol, arm-in-arm with open antisemites. But while most Jewish Trump voters won’t mourn his exit, they don’t regret backing him either
The U.S.-brokered Morocco-Israel normalization deal is yet more proof that Trump’s much-derided transactional foreign policy actually works. The quid pro quo is good for America, and for its allies
From Trump’s QAnon-fueled fiction, to Douglas Macgregor’s 'Jews buy support for Israel,' to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 'Zionist supremacist genocide,' the GOP has a toxic antisemitic conspiracy theory problem. The Democrats don't have clean hands either
U.S. Jews constitutes some of Trump’s fiercest opponents – and his most fervent supporters. This is how, and why, the split happened, and whether the divide can ever be bridged
A lot of people on the Jewish right and in the pro-Israel community are panicking about Trump's looming defeat. But a Biden victory could be good news for Netanyahu’s political survival
In this Supreme Court slugfest, are Jewish liberals doing enough to challenge the vicious, unconstitutional attacks on the faith of Christian conservatives?
The UAE and Bahrain accords have exploded the myth that the Palestinians are the core problem of the Middle East. Gulf states will no longer accept a veto from Ramallah or Gaza for their relations with Israel and defense against Iran
The fears are understandable, but misplaced. Normalization with Gulf states hurts Iran, and strengthens Israel's defense far more than any plane
Near-universal cheers for the Israel-UAE agreement show that for right-wing American Jews, keeping Trump in the White House is more important than the settlements
The American Jewish problem with Israel is not what it does, but what it is
Viral ads by two Never Trump groups, the Lincoln Project and Bill Kristol’s Republican Voters Against Trump, get rave reviews. But they're far less effective than they seem - not least among Jewish Trump voters
When Senator Tom Cotton is branded more uniquely offensive than Putin, Erdogan, Ahmedinejad, Maduro or the Taliban, the NYT’s pro-Israel Jewish conservatives are on borrowed time
25 percent of U.S. Jews are convinced the president is their best friend. There is nothing Trump could do or say, short of bombing Israel, that would change their mind
A new Israeli TV channel targeting Jews for conversion to Christianity has triggered tumult even among evangelicals’ most dedicated Jewish friends. But one 'controversy' won’t wreck the Christian-Jewish alliance on Israel
Jewish weeklies were the glue that held Diaspora communities together. Their demise will be felt in every aspect of Jewish life
Israel's right-wingers and religious nationalists are hurrying to change West Bank facts on the ground because they're betting Trump is distracted by coronavirus now and loses in the fall. They're playing with fire
Jewish tradition and mainstream America sanctify and honor the elderly. But the Trump administration has no coherent ethical position about how older people will be treated in a coronavirus health care crisis
Bernie Sanders’ attacks on the pro-Israel lobby play well with his left-wing base. But the Democratic establishment could make him pay
'Never Bernie' AIPAC now sounds a lot like a pro-Trump caucus, not a bipartisan pro-Israel lobby. But it has no choice
Even when Democrats hold the White House again, they won't be able to reverse the core terms of Trump's Middle East peace plan, and U.S. leverage over Israel will have diminished. This is why
Carlson has lost his self-declared role as the Trump whisperer on Iran, signaling how far the GOP's isolationist wing is losing control of Trump’s foreign policy
The muted response to the string of attacks in NYC shows that mainstream U.S. Jewry is indifferent to Haredim and hesitant to condemn those who target them
The 'graduates' of the Charlottesville neo-Nazi march are repositioning themselves to infiltrate American conservatism. And the White House is silent
Denounce Zionism, or we'll downgrade the Holocaust: That's the message of the Benedictine College activists who tried to bully a Holocaust survivor into backing their campaign
Will the U.S. president lose interest in an Israel no longer headed by a populist honorary Republican? What about Trump's most ardent supporters, and his Mideast 'peace team,' so deeply invested in Netanyahu staying in office?
The NYT columnist proved he was just as whiny and thin-skinned about criticism as his bte noire, Donald Trump. And he showed that the anti-Trump camp just can't stop cheapening the Holocaust for political gain
Trump's apparent pivot towards the 'America First' isolationism of Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson is a bitter shock for his Jewish and evangelical donors and supporters - and for Netanyahu
When pro-Israel Trump invites an alt-right, anti-Semitic cartoonist into the White House, even if he's belatedly ditched, Jewish supporters have to face an unpleasant truth about the president
If Democratic hopefuls encounter a radical pro-Palestinian group which rejects Jewish sovereignty and two states, they should ignore them, right? Let's see their response to IfNotNow, which intends to heckle, bait and entrap those candidates on the campaign trail
When Pompeo committed to 'pushing back' against Corbyn it wasn’t just another Trump administration stumble. The U.S. cannot be indifferent to an anti-Semite coming to power - and nor should any other Western state
