OpEd: Israel Missed a Public Relations Opportunity Responding to Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Stunt

I had hoped Israel would seize the opportunity and turn it into an effective counter-move. Especially when these self-proclaimed “truth-seekers” refused to watch a documentary on the Hamas-led October 7 massacre, making their bias painfully clear. This could have been the perfect moment for Israel to show the world that it supports humanitarian aid to Gaza—so long as it doesn’t go through Hamas. {Yakov Nayerman}

OpEd: ‘Peaceful’ Anti-Israel Protests Set Stage for Murders of Israeli Embassy Staffmembers

Was it peaceful protest to attack and injure janitorial employees at Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall a year ago? To seize and occupy the same building? To block traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, the approach to Chicago’s congested O’Hare International Airport and the jammed southbound lanes of the 110 freeway below the iconic four-level stacked interchange in Los Angeles?
