I have been astounded as to how much has been written, how many words have been spoken, passionately arguing the issue of whether or not it was a good move for Israel to block entry to those Israel-hating, BDS- supporting members of Congress, Ilhan Omar (MN-5th) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13th). …

Comparing the damage from what did and didn’t happen. The recent controversial non-visit by US Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib provided many people with a platform to discuss the implications of what happened.  But what if these two would-be visitors had come?  Would we be as insightful on that …

Buckle up.  We are going on a journey.  Well, two to be precise.  The journeys of two immigrants’: Irving Berlin and Ilhan Omar. Let’s begin with Irving Berlin as he arrived in the 19th century. Irving Berlin was born Israel Isidore Beili and lived in Temun, Siberia.  The family came …

Dear, sweet Sarah Silverman, standing shoulder to shoulder with her new BFF, Ilhan Omar, praising the idea of a two-state solution in Israel. Where Israel is divided, again, into a smaller state to make room for another Muslim state-number 24 in the region- so that peace will reign. After all, …
