Caroline B. Glick JNS, Mar. 22, 2024 “The discourse on Israel’s war in Gaza is suffused in blood libels.” According to Canada’s La Presse, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a vampire, and he is poised to suck the life out of the Palestinians in Rafah, Hamas’s final outpost in southern Gaza. The publication that was […]
Gabby Deutch Jewish Insider, Mar. 25, 2024 “Do I stay and keep fighting this battle on an issue that I care so much about? Or do I say, OK, well, it’s now gotten to a point where I’m no longer at home here, and my community’s telling me they’re no longer at home?” Canadian MP […]
Chavi Feldman Times of Israel, Mar. 20, 2024 “I’m glad my grandparents aren’t alive to see what’s become of this world; what’s become of the Canada that had reluctantly offered them a safe haven back then. It’s certainly not the same Canada that I grew up in, that I truly loved.” When you grow up […]
Brian Lilley Toronto Sun, Mar. 18, 2024 “The entire chaotic day wasn’t really about foreign affairs, not for the Liberals and NDP, it was about shoring up support in the growing Muslim voting bloc.” Utter chaos.

Barry Shaw, Israel Hayom, Mar. 22, 2024 Joe Biden is, once again, at loggerheads with Israel. This has been brewing for decades. Biden infamously admitted telling Benjamin Netanyahu, “Bibi I love you, but I don’t agree with a damn thing you say.” Biden seems to have learned nothing from his personal contentious relationship with Israel going back decades. […]
Leanne Stillerman Zabow, Times of Israel, Mar. 25, 2024 This is our first Purim in Israel as olim (immigrants). I heard the question “how can we celebrate and be happy at such a time”? asked several times. The resounding idea came through that even more so, we should celebrate this year. We are […]
Stuart Halpern WSJ, Mar. 21, 2024 “Purim’s story reminds its readers that though what the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks called the “dignity of difference” might be intolerable for some, pride in Jewish particularism serves as the wellspring of salvation.” Jews have always been a biblically minded people, but this year one ancient story feels tragically resonant.
