OpEd: Jewish Values Demand Moral Clarity–Not Equivalence–in Gaza

Recently, the Times of San Diego published an opinion piece, (which was republished by San Diego Jewish World) titled “As a Father, Jew and Councilmember, I’m Appalled by Brutality in Gaza” by Sean Elo-Rivera.

[Mitch Danzig, Times of San Diego]

B’nai B’rith: U.N. Conference on Two-State Solution an Exercise in Delusion

The Palestinian Authority (PA) is a failure: unable to provide security, unwilling for decades to engage in serious negotiations, inciting rabid anti-Semitism in its schools and its media. Instead of understanding this truth, the U.N. conference supports the PA and deems it should be rewarded with the running of Gaza post-conflict. [Press Release]
