Jews are becoming victims again, this time of progressives who see the ashes of Jews as merely fuel for woke causes.

A Times of Israel story recently reported festively, “YouTube removes Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam channel.”  According to the story, YouTube announced that it has “strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and [will] terminate any channel that repeatedly or egregiously violates those policies.”  Two lines later, however, you read …

Creating “a global inter-parliamentary task force to combat digital antisemitism” a few weeks before a presidential election isn’t credible, and that’s putting it mildly.  And besides, what can any task force do against hatred that comes from the kernel of human nature?  It would be more successful fighting against gravity …

Online antisemitism is nothing new but now it seems to be widely targeting our vulnerable youth more than ever before.  Hidden under false identities, haters freely reveal prejudice, bigotry, and antisemitic views across virtually all the unruled space of social media. Teenagers who identify as Jewish complain of constant hostility …

Let’s take another look at antisemitism. First the bad news: As long as there is one Jew alive there will be antisemitism. Now the good news: As long as there is one Jew alive there will be antisemitism. According to the number of Jews in Roman times, there should be …

People have advanced the notion that ignorance is the root cause of global hatred, racism and antisemitism.  The unfortunate reality is that much of it is because of bad education.

The brief answer is yes, but it may not have been “pure”!!  And I explain why below. In dealing with a conflict — any conflict — there must be a willingness to go beyond propaganda. In order to be understood the Arab-Israeli conflict must be viewed in the context of …

The re-emergence of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has raised the awareness of the racism faced by African Americans.  Mass protests and rallies against racism ensued after the death of George Floyd on May 25 and spread across the western world.  Even in far-away Australia, it re-ignited the Stop …

“Holohoax … six million lies” … “i would luv to see them Jews … publicly hung” … And in response to a report that almost half of the Jewish sites in Syria had been destroyed or damaged, this gem: “Good payback for all the deaths to these innocent people … …

The maelstrom of a global pandemic has recently kept worldwide antisemitism relatively quiet, but it does not mean that Jew haters are resting.  On Twitter, the antisemitic hashtag #JewishPrivilege, which was originally used to accuse Jews of racism and control over other minorities, rapidly became a top trending hashtag. In …

Peter Beinart recently wrote an article of Jewish surrender that was published in Jewish Currents. Falling over itself, the New York Times rushed to publish an abbreviated version to ensure the piece was given a much wider audience. Beinart The thrust of the Beinart argument is simple.

The longer the pandemic lingers, the more the world will turn a blaming eye toward us, the Jews. Anytime affliction grows around the world, it directs its anger at the Jews.  A few days ago, far-right white nationalist Canadian politician Travis Patron released a video stating,  “What we need to …

Be it a plague or a war, a flood or an earthquake, a revolution or a financial meltdown, in the end, there is always one culprit: the Jews.  In America, too, many already blame COVID-19 on the Jews, as is the case with the riots engulfing the tormented country. In …

Just before he was beheaded, Daniel Pearl said: “My mother is Jewish. My father is Jewish. I am a Jew.” I was out the other day and heard this most upsetting statement: You don’t vote for a political party just because of the way they treat Jews. Have we still …
