Mamdani's Enablers

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Mamdani's Enablers."

A recent progressive Jewish gathering at Gracie Mansion hosted by Mayor Mamdani exposes a glaring communal hypocrisy, where the desire for political access overrode solidarity in the face of his anti-Israel actions. This selective morality is not just political, but mirrors a broader cultural gap within Jewish life between the high ideals we preach and how we actually treat one another. Across everyday interactions—from a rabbi’s immediate suspicion of a neighbor's kitchen to a leader weaponizing theology to crush a vulnerable soul—we repeatedly trade basic empathy for rigid judgment and convenience. Ultimately, true community cannot be reduced to political alignments or superficial compliance; it demands that we close this moral gap and begin practicing the genuine decency we expect from the outside world.

The Imminent Danger of Zohran Mamdani

 
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "The Imminent Danger of Zohran Mamdani."

The rise of radical socialism in New York threatens not only democracy but the safety of its Jewish community. As antisemitic incidents surge, Zohran Mamdani manipulates and gaslights the public, hiding behind claims of social justice and anti‑genocide rhetoric while refusing to condemn Hamas or calls for global intifada. His deception weaponizes resentment and division, turning ideology into an instrument of hate and racism. This escalating threat puts Jews and the city’s moral foundation at grave risk. If New Yorkers do not awaken quickly, history may again repeat its darkest chapters.

Now Is the Time to Stand for Principle Over Political Party

When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "When Beautiful Music Becomes a Mantra of Hate."

Music festivals and concerts, long celebrated for fostering unity, are increasingly being used to spread hate and divisive rhetoric. High-profile incidents—such as Bobby Vylan’s anti-Israel chants at Glastonbury, Roger Waters’s provocative performances, and inflammatory statements by artists like Kanye West and Imagine Dragons—illustrate how musicians, seeking to be seen as edgy or socially conscious, often promote distorted messages that can influence youth and normalize hate. The failure of media and institutions to intervene exacerbates these dangers, raising concerns about the responsibility to protect shared values of justice and respect. Ultimately, music must remain a force for peace and unity, not a vehicle for hatred or bigotry.
