The Rising Threat of Political Hate Speech

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The Rising Threat of Political Hate Speech."

This week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative leader connected with younger generations, exposed a disturbing rise in political polarization and violent rhetoric. Social media’s celebration of his murder reflects a troubling shift, especially among younger people, toward viewing political opponents as existential threats rather than fellow citizens. This dehumanizing language has dangerous historical precedents and creates a toxic atmosphere where violence becomes justifiable. To protect the future of American democracy, urgent reforms are needed in education, media, and politics to promote balanced dialogue, fair reporting, and bipartisan cooperation. Without decisive action, the nation risks deepening division and unraveling the very fabric of its democracy.

My Dear Fellow Jews: Where Are You?

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "My Dear Fellow Jews: Where Are You?"

We may disagree on policies, and we may debate government actions and inaction, but standing with the Jewish people and the State of Israel is not optional—it is existential. To side with those who spread antisemitic propaganda and seek Israel’s destruction is not conscience; it is betrayal. As G-d called to Adam, He calls to us: Do not hide. Stand up. Be counted.

The TikTok Candidate

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The TikTok Candidate."

In short, Vice President Harris, who everyone thought was worse than even President Biden and had the lowest net negative ratings of any vice president in history, has now, six weeks later, magically been transformed into arguably a leading candidate for the next president of the United States.

Essentially, she is the TikTok candidate, where the entire purpose of her statements, apparently all scripted, is superficial and solely to generate "hits," buzz, and votes. In fact, her website is blatantly devoid of policy and only has a place for asking for donations. Thus, instead of policy aims for our country, we are given at best platitudes and smirky, sarcastic lines from followers like "it depends on the context."

As an electorate, we must demand more of our candidates than to be glamorous and look the part. Glitz without substance is worthless!

Prelude to World War III

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Prelude to World War III."

We have never come closer to World War 3. Amidst the most evil and brutal bloodbath by Hamas of 1,400 Israelis and another 200+ taken hostage into Gaza, Israel is entering its biggest and most difficult war since the surprise attack of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Further, northern Israel is ready to explode, with Hezbollah terrorists ready to infiltrate and 150,000 rockets poised to fly into Israel's population centers and critical infrastructure.

As the terrorists, anarchists, and some on the alt-left march and overturn our cities to outbursts of "Allah Akbar," "Intifada," and "Jihad" amidst the burning of and spitting on Israeli and U.S. flags, the biased media, looking for their next splash headline, thrills to falsely blame Israel for the Gaza hospital bombing. Similarly, despite the Palestinians' repeated refusal to accept generous offers of peace, the media continues to report on Israel's "occupation" and "apartheid," including in Gaza, where Israel unilaterally withdrew more than 18 years ago and in return has suffered relentless Hamas missile barrages, attack tunnels, abductions, and sadistic killings.

The world is on the moral and murderous brink, and there are weapons of mass destruction to make it happen deadly fast. One spark can ignite the whole colossal, flammable mess, and with it, the doomsday we all fear but suspect could be coming soon. Let us hope and pray that this is the prelude not to World War III, but rather to the coming of Mashiach.

Our World of Fake News

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Our World of Fake News."

Fake news about Israel and the Jews continues to proliferate from many mainstream news sources that have sold out to the devil any credibility, they may have one had. Whether it’s the “Failing New York Times,” “Fake News CNN” or any other of the notorious media sources that are alleged to report biased, tainted news, unfortunately, it seems like a virtual non-stop barrage of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic spewing. It may be overt or more subtle, but there are organizations like Honest Reporting that are tracking and calling out the false news reporting for the lies that they are.

Whether it’s 1984 “Big Brother” telling you what to think and do or the media twisting the truth so that’s unrecognizable anymore, this is dangerous not only to the Jews as scapegoats, but to the souls, freedom and future of our world.
