There are words that just don't co-exist very well, and "Jewish Christian" is definitely one of these dysfunctional couples that we call oxymorons. People say that you cannot be Jewish and Christian at the same time, because the two terms are mutually exclusive. Christians are often confused about Jewish people who have placed their trust in […]
What do the book of Esther, the Nuremberg Laws of 1933 and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement have in common? A lot more than meets the eye! There is a theme found in Esther about Haman's disdain for the Jewish people that is quite unique in the biblical record. We find the first […]
The Dark Ages were a difficult time of history for much of the world and they turned out to be quite a bit darker for the Jewish communities of Europe. The chasm between Christianity and Judaism continually widened. Early theological differences had morphed into the social ostracism that would eventually lead to the racial antisemitism […]
While some might accuse me of it, I take no pleasure in exposing people simply for character assassination.

It is a conference centered around biblical reconciliation and justice...or so it […]
Yom HaShoah was voted by the Israeli Knesset as an official national memorial day in Israel in 1953. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion established that day as a yearly memorial for the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Every year since that day, Jewish people remember the Shoah or “Catastrophe” as they perpetuate the memory of the […]
Many people use the name "Muslim Brotherhood" (MB) around without really knowing what it means, who is behind it AND how many people it affects and controls. The MB was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. After a while, it ended up being a powerful organization aiming […]
I was never a fan of French Alt-Right "Front National Party" leader, Jean Marie Le Pen and I am not a fan of his daughter who currently heads that party. Marine Le Pen might be more polished and diplomatic than her father, but she still represents an ideology that is toxic to a balanced political approach […]
