Gil Troy Jewish Journal, Mar. 17, 2024 “It’s a counterproductive trainwreck: The more they bash Israel, the more they weaken America and your re-election prospects; and the more they bash Bibi, the more they boost his.” Dear President Biden, Beware! Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and your favourite columnist […]

Herald Boas AMAC, Mar. 18, 2024 ‘Schumer knew all this, but he had a political problem: it is a national election year, and the far left of his party is vehemently anti-Israel and in some cases openly pro-Hamas. His fellow Democrat, President Joe Biden, is running for re-election, and the Pro-Hamas Democrats were threatening to […]
Richard Haas WSJ, Mar. 15, 2024 CIJR does not endorse Mr. Haas’s opinion “Implicit by its absence from Netanyahu’s day-after plan is a decision not to elevate the role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which for all its flaws remains the best and potentially only security partner for Israel in both the West Bank and […]
David Suissa Jewish Journal, Mar. 17, 2024 “Pro-Hamas mobs are using Israel’s defensive war in Gaza—the same war Schumer said needed “significant course corrections”—as their ammunition to target Jews.” Whenever I speak to Israelis, whether from the left or right, I hear the same refrain: Israel’s war in Gaza is against a vicious terror army […]

Editorial Board WSJ, Mar. 14, 2024 “This reflects the political neurosis developing among Democrats, who wish some deus ex machina would allow Israel to “win” the war against Hamas in a way that would minimize the anger of the anti-Israel left in the U.S.” The Israel-Hamas war is melting brains on the Democratic side of the aisle, […]

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 12, 2024 “… his agenda was to lend assistance to the Biden administration’s tilt away from Israel to curry favor with the Democratic Party’s left-wing Israel-haters.” In a city packed with cynical opportunists, few people in Washington can match the cynicism and opportunism that are on display when Sen. […]
Norm Coleman The Hill, Mar. 14, 2024 “Ironically, attacking Netanyahu now will only make him stronger politically at home, as he defends Israel from both Hamas and its supporters in the U.S. at the same time.” I’ve known Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) since we were schoolmates at PS 197 and James Madison High School in Brooklyn. The high school […]
John Podhoretz Commentary Magazine, Mar. 14, 2024 “Schumer was being a good soldier too. But a bad Jew.” In an extraordinary speech this morning—and by extraordinary I don’t mean it was good but rather that it was astoundingly abnormal—the majority leader of the U.S. Senate called for the collapse of the legitimately elected government of […]

Meir Valman Jerusalem Post, July 29, 2024 “The field of AI faces a considerable shortage of top talent, and companies often need to bring in leading experts from academia to access the best minds.” Given the current hype surrounding ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence programs, one might have thought that AI was a very new technology […]
Rabbi Samantha Natov JTA, Apr. 19, 2023 “… with a bot, there is nothing behind the veil. A vital essence of communication is rendered meaningless; there is no possibility of a soul connection.” I recently asked ChatGPT, the online chatbot, to write a verse in the style of the Bible about robots taking over […]

Rabbi Daniel Nevins Jewish Standard, June 22, 2023 “… If machines can generate reasonable speech, can they also make claims to personhood?” Given rapid developments in artificial intelligence, questions about the implications of manufactured minds for Jewish life have grown urgent. Back in 2019 I authored a responsum (rabbinic legal opinion) on this subject for the Rabbinical […]
Moshe Koppel Mosaic Magazine, Mar. 4, 2024 “Judaism stands to gain a great deal from tools that could render the study of its deepest questions both more intensive and more accessible.” The industrial revolution brought freedom and prosperity to millions in the 19th century, while also presenting considerable challenges to millions more, perhaps especially […]
