Israel Rips Judaism Apart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
«Il est bien plus difficile de se juger soi-même que de juger autrui. Si tu réussis à bien te juger, c’est que tu es un véritable sage. » — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince, Ch. 10. (“It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.”) Antagonism between Zionism and Judaism is nothing new.[1] Rosh Hashana, the New Year, which Jews (and some Christians) celebrate in the autumn, exposes a
History Has Proven Leibowitz Right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Every day I check my mailbox, but I have not found a letter from the Almighty confirming it.” That was Professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz’s reply when I asked whether he considered the Zionist state “the beginning of the flowering of our Redemption.” The phrase ‘reshit tsmiḥat geʼulatenu’ appears in the prayer for the State of Israel, composed in 1948 and recited in many synagogues around the world.

They [the government] incite murder. This is what they do. They wage wars not to save lives, but only for the honor of the state. Certainly, this is not new. So, is this permitted? Just to raise the status of the state or something else?” These are not the words of a left-wing anti-Israeli activist from an Ivy League ca
History Continues to Serve Foreign Policy: Why Israel Finally Recognized the Armenian Genocide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Israeli government recognized the deaths of one and a half million Armenians during World War I as genocide for political reasons, and Armenia is not even the intended addressee here. Prime Minister Pashinyan quite rightly noted that his country is not interested in turning the recognition of the Armenian genocide into an instrument of political struggle.
