For decades, UN agencies have slandered the Jewish state, most recently with the April 2016 accusation that it has been “planting Jewish fake graves” in Palestinian territory, and with UNESCO declaring last year that the ancient Jewish Biblical sites Rachel’s Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs are actually Muslim holy sites, and last month that the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temples were destroyed in 587 BCE and 70 CE, is an Islamic site with no connection to Judaism.

Slanders of Israel and Jews are rife on today’s university campuses, in the media, and from the rostrums of international institutions. How to respond? Many try to reason with their accusers on the grounds of countervailing facts and figures. Facing a similar situation over a century ago, a great Zionist leader cautioned otherwise.

Cross Currents

By Yitzchok Adlerstein: For many years, I peddled Natan Sharansky’s Three D’s.

The premise of this editorial, which I believe to be vital for the future of the Jewish community, originated with a person I feel honored to call a friend: Mr. Stephen Savitsky, the former chairman and president of the Orthodox Union. While Mr. Savitsky would have been happy to have his idea appear as an op-ed, I believed the “Savitsky Doctrine” too important to be relegated to the periphery

American Jews tend to be more highly educated and politically liberal than the U.S. public as a whole, as well as less religiously observant, at least by standard measures such as belief in God and self-reported rates of attendance at religious services. The U.S. Jewish population also

By Heshey Zelcer: It is difficult to overstate the importance of United States support for the State of Israel. Since 2011 the United States has provided Israel with over three billion dollars of aid each year,1 and it allows Israel to use this money to purchase the latest and most sophisticated United States military equipment. The United States also

Is this a turning point? Something unusual happened this year. Under tight security an historic event quietly unfolded in Brooklyn. For the first time, Orthodox Jews in Flatbush assembled on the 5th day of Iyur in a shul, under the auspices of a Chasidic rebbe, to express hakaras ha-tov to HKB”H for the State of Israel.
