The treatment of Jewish people around the world is now making the news almost daily. It is obvious that antisemitism is running rampant. The question has changed over the last two decades. First, it was, "What will we do IF it happens again?", then it became, "What will we do WHEN it happens again?" Now […]
The further we move away from an event, the harder it is to remember it, its details and even its outcome. Any event enters the annals of history the minute they take place, and there is nothing man can do to erase that event from our collective memories. Nothing can take it away unless it […]

The event is known as Kristallnacht or "The Night of Broken Glass." The reason given by the Nazis was the assassination of German official Ernst vom […]
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that America's political landscape is suffering from the worst case of polarization in its history. The amount of hatred for President Trump currently displayed by his opponents is mind-boggling. Republicans and Democrats used to be somewhat cordial even when disagreeing. They even found ways to advance and […]
If you have been following my writing for the last two decades, you are already aware that "the oldest hatred" has been morphing from the taboo racial antisemitism of the 30s and 40s to a social justice struggle.
