    Before we retire ‘Zionism,’ remember Zion (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A recent Washington Post article asks whether the word “Zionism” has become so controversial, so misunderstood and so burdened by politics that perhaps Jews should stop using it. Some of the Jewish leaders interviewed by the Post believe the word has been distorted beyond usefulness. Others insist that it still expresses something fundamental: the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in their ancient homeland. Rabbi Rick Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism says the term has been “

    Jewish education needs more allies in the statehouse (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Jewish organizations have spent decades warning that the cost of day-school education threatens the future of American Jewish life. They have raised money, commissioned studies and urged families to make enormous sacrifices. Now they have a chance to help bring a new source of scholarship funding to those families. Will they organize to make it happen? Beginning in 2027, individuals who contribute to a qualifying scholarship-granting organization may claim a federal tax credit of up to $1,700. T

    The antisemites don’t get to decide where Jews live (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Antisemitism is rising, but much of today’s scourge does not present itself in the crude language of racial inferiority that we associate with an earlier age. Increasingly, the accusation is almost the opposite: Jews are too powerful. We have too much influence. We control politics, money, media or American policy toward Israel. Our attachment to Israel is treated not as an expression of identity but as evidence of divided loyalty. We should recognize these ideas for what they are. They are anci

    E1 and the question nobody asks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The world is once again in high dudgeon over Jews building homes near Jerusalem. This time, the cause is E1, a roughly 12-square-kilometer area between Jerusalem and the city of Ma’ale Adumim. Britain, for example, has reacted to Israel’s latest construction plans as though bulldozers were about to bury the peace process. Before accepting such rhetoric, it helps to understand the map. The Oslo Accords divided Judea and Samaria into Areas A, B and C. There is no “Area E.” E1 is simply a planning

    Thomas Friedman is wrong again, this time about AIPAC (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For as long as I have been writing about the Middle East, Thomas L. Friedman has been one of my favorite foils. I don’t mean that personally. Friedman is an accomplished journalist, a gifted writer and the possessor of perhaps the most influential foreign-policy column in America. The problem is that when it comes to Israel and the Middle East, he has been spectacularly, repeatedly and confidently wrong. More remarkably, being wrong never seems to alter the prescription. Now he has turned his at
