Op-Eds
Op-Eds by our Officers and Fellows do not necessarily represent the views or focus issues of the CJV.
The Party of Bias and Bigotry
Without question, one of two individuals — Rep. Ilhan Omar and President Trump — made comments “designed to incite hatred” that are putting “life at risk.” But according to leading Democrats, that person would be the president and not Omar. One could hardly look for a better example of the inversion of morality, and of hater and hated.
Naftali Bennett Lost But Also Won Big
So Bennett – the individual – lost terribly. And yet, he won massively. There are some 325,000 Jews now living permanently in east Jerusalem and another 450,000 Jews elsewhere in Judea/Samaria.
Just The Vax, Please
Our shul, together with other rabbanim and educators, met with a group of parents vehemently opposed to vaccination, together with their lawyer and doctor. As cogent as some of their arguments were, at times, the bottom line is: We all realized that we cannot support this group under any circumstances. We simply cannot support a group that helps spread disease and endangers the lives of countless others.
Few surprises in Israel election results
Uncannily like America’s 2016 election night, those who believed Leftist polls and the Left media reports are in shock.
As Israel Goes to the Polls Tomorrow
As the only American-style democracy in the Middle East, Israelis are a universe apart from all their border neighbors. And you can bet your farm and life savings that they have built big, beautiful border walls — and they work!
As Israel Goes to the Polls Next Tuesday
Part One — Understanding the Parties and the System. This article does not advocate but seeks to explain to the curious reader how democracy works in Israeli national elections: specifically explaining (i) the contending parties and (ii) the electoral system.
The Democrats Brazenly Know They Have Been Demanding Forbidden Disclosures and Unrealistic Deadlines
The Democrat deceit never seems to end. Now that the Mueller Investigation into the Russia Collusion Hoax has blown up in their faces, they are generating new lies, new hoaxes to revive the momentum they have lost.
When Justice Is Corrupted at the Top, a Society Becomes Corrupted Downstream
By now it is beyond doubt that, to some extent, we have a “two-tier” system of justice. It is otherwise inexplicable that Hillary Clinton has not yet been tried on felony charges for spoliating evidence — the bleached 33,000 emails, the smashed computer.
America Recognizing Israeli Sovereignty Over the Golan Heights
Part of the Obama legacy was undertaking to destroy America’s unique relationship with Israel, dating to Israel’s founding in 1948, a friendship that always had been marked by bipartisan support.
Obstruction of Justice
Just as it is obvious that there was no Trump collusion with Russia and that I never was involved in a bank hold up, so it is obvious that President Trump did not “obstruct justice” during the Mueller Investigation into the Collusion That Never Happened.
