October 10 marks the birthday of my late son, Danny, who would have been 61 today. I wish to thank all readers who wrote to me about what Danny meant to them. A diehard humanist who wanted to believe that man is not a predator to other men. The October 7 massacre, and the…


I had the wonderful experience of being at Ginny’s live performance as it was being filmed. It is fantastic

The online jokes are not just about having fun. They represent a newfound political energy within the Democratic Party, @ginnyhogan_ explains. bit.ly/46N96XL

I'm truly relieved for the families of the four Israeli hostages who were freed from the Nuseirat area, especially Noa Argamani, whose family and parents I got to connect with and have developed particular empathy for her mother, facing terminal brain cancer and wanting to see…

I just ran into this beautiful quote from Hermann Hesse: “To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in…

Quick reminder: I’m a Zionist. I want Israel to continue to exist and I care about its future because I have many dear friends in Israel and I want a future for them and their families. So if you’re on team “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” you’re saying I don’t deserve to live.

I wrote about how a cascade of media failures led to a bunch of inauthentic, mistranslated, and truncated quotes from Israeli officials about Gaza being cited everywhere from the New York Times, NPR, and the BBC, to the International Court of Justice. theatlantic.com/international/…

Meanwhile, over the past 12 hours, a portal to Kristallnacht has opened in the Caucasus. In Dagestan, a raging crowd besieged a hotel in which Jews were allegedly hiding. A Jewish cultural center was set on fire in Nalchik. Yesterday, at a rally in Karachay-Cherkessia, local…


This should be required reading in all colleges and universities. John McWhorter is one of our great intellectuals of our day and his endorsement of this essay alone speaks volumes.

This takedown of the "decolonization" term should be required reading nationwide. Bravo, Simon Sebag Montefiore for exemplifying that we must be able to hold two (or more) thoughts at the same time, even amidst imbalances of power. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

🚨 Wow. A forceful, morally clear statement, signed by dozens of @NorthwesternU faculty — including the two immediate predecessors of the current, equivocal university president. “Although we grieve for the loss of all innocent lives, the loss of life is on the bloodied hands…

Our message to NYU and our communities is clear: we are strong, we are not afraid, we are outraged by supporters of terror and we join with good people everywhere to fight back!

The incredible, bone-chilling speech by Dr. @mijalbitton during today's "Never Again Is Now" rally outside @nyuniversity 🇮🇱עם ישראל חי🇮🇱

Listen to this moving speech by Rachel Polin Goldberg whose son was kidnapped by Hamas to Gaza On Oct. 6, 224 Israeli civilians had Friday dinner at home with their families, and the next morning Hamas kidnapped them from their homes Where is the civilized world?…

The use of the category 'indigenous' outside a few limited contexts (mostly Americas and the Antipodes) is useless at best and fascistic at worst

Dozens and dozens of Arab friends (Lebanese, Iraqis, Palestinians and Gulfies) are jamming my inboxes with messages saying that they support dismantling Palestinian Hamas and peace with #Israel. These people cannot express their opinions out loud for fear of social shaming,…

"Leftwing Jews need to understand that the Jewish people cannot afford the purity of powerlessness, while rightwing Jews need to understand that power requires moral limits." From my essay in the Times of Israel, "What This War Is About" blogs.timesofisrael.com/what-this-war-…
