OpEd: How NOT to Fight Antisemitism

A veteran pro-Israel organization which spent $14.5 million to oust U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the June 25 Democratic primary displayed excessive wealth and power. Bowman, who is widely viewed as anti-Israel, probably would have lost without the expenditure of $14.5 million to educate voters in New York’s 16th congressional district of his failings. [Bruce S.

OpEd: Pro-Hamas Legislators Not Taken Seriously on Domestic Issues

Bowman’s credibility, along with his colleagues, is severely damaged by their fact-free accusations of Israel, which in turn makes it difficult for any reasonable person to take them seriously. If they put forward bills to improve life for vulnerable Americans, the proposed legislation stands less chance of success because of their pariah status. [Bruce S. Ticker]

OpEd: Dropping Charges against Columbia University Trespassers Sends Wrong Message

“No police officers were injured. It would therefore be extremely difficult for (prosecutors) to prove any charge other than trespass at trial,” explained Assistant District Attorney Stephen Millan. [Bruce Ticker]

OpEd: Topsy-Turvy Antics of the Anti-Israel Politicians in Two Countries

U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-New York) takes confusing stands on Israel while, across the Atlantic Ocean, Britain’s Labour Party promises to recognize a Palestinian state if it returns to power in Parliament. Both are topsy-turvy antics that would inspire playwright William S. Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. [Bruce S. Ticker]

Teachers, Professors Willfully Ignore Facts, Indoctrinate Students with anti-Israel Propaganda

It is hard enough to abide high school and college students who bash Israel without bothering to learn all the twists and turns in its conflict with Hamas, but some public-school teachers and college professors have injected themselves into disruptive protests. [Bruce S. Ticker]

Pique Cited as Reason Biden Canceled Bomb Deliveries to Israel

President Biden withheld delivery of 3,500 bombs to Israel in part because critics of the Jewish state may abandon him next Nov. 5, denying Democrats another four-year term in the White House. However, a revealing New York Times piece on Sunday suggests that Biden’s prevailing reason was aggravation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. [Bruce S. Ticker]

OpEd: Right-Wing Christians, Democratic ‘Progressives’ Oppose ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’

“Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today,” writes Greene, “that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” as quoted in the Raw Story publication.

OpEd: The Confused World and Murderous Rhetoric of Khyami James

After speaking with the Columbia employees, he addressed the camera directly, saying, “Why would we want people who are supporters of genocide to live? I’m confused.” My turn to be confused. In all my years of supporting Israel, which automatically makes me a Zionist, I was never among “supporters of genocide.” My word of honor. [Bruce S. Ticker]

Cornel West Evades CNN’s Question about Whether Israel Should Exist

Phillip confronted West during an interview last Thursday night after he announced the appointment of his running mate, Melina Abdullah, who appeared with him. They both blamed Israel for the war in Gaza and refused to condemn the terror group Hamas, which touched off the war with its Oct. 7 invasion of southern Israel. Maybe they blame Israel for Iran’s massive bombing attack on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. [Bruce S. Ticker]

Progressives Attract with Domestic Policies; Repel with Anti-Israel Policies

I feel hopeful that at least two Council members will openly press for local reforms, but one or both council members could be injecting Middle East issues into Council business. Roughly 7.5 million of our people live in Israel, and we want to avert further harm to them. [Bruce S. Ticker]
