Just like any emotion or any label, hate can be denied. What is much harder to deny is one set of rules for the world and another for the Jews. That's not an emotion. It's an action.

This game was dripping with drama. England hasn't won the World Cup since 1966, and here they were, one win and a few minutes away from playing for the Final on Sunday against Spain.

Criticizing their political party would mean betraying the identity that has defined most American Jews since the days of FDR.

The film reminded me that an ancient Greek poet could write about massacres but also about moral courage, while modern-day terrorists who dream only of killing Jews could dispense with courage and go right to the massacre.

At the very least, the case would provide a global stage to debunk the genocide lie that is devastating world Jewry.

It'd be one thing if Mamdani were a lowly Israelophobe with a few hundred followers. But he's not. He's mayor of the city with the world's largest Jewish population.

The world's fanatical fixation with a group that is less that 0.2 percent of the world's population has crossed the boundaries of moral vocabulary and into creepiness.

From Trump's standpoint, the nuclear issue has been overtaken by the bedeviling problem of the Strait of Hormuz. What Trump sees now in Iran is a mess, not a victory.

The master of this subterfuge is the savvy Mamdani, who makes socialism look as sweet and innocent as a community library.

Why do you think the song has triggered such a backlash among the “Israel rhymes with genocide” crowd? Because it demolishes their case.
