He toured Israel and the West Bank, talking to Jews and Arabs. This changed his mind. He concluded that Jimmy Carter and the BDS movement are wrong: Israel is not an apartheid state. In fact, today’s Israel and apartheid South Africa are vastly different. For his article, click here. Read more

Betrayal and shame

Last updated on: December 29, 2016 at 10:57 am By Gerald McDermott

Shame on the United States

Last updated on: December 24, 2016 at 6:05 pm By Gerald McDermott

For the first time in the history of the United States, we have failed to condemn an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations. Today we abstained, rather than opposed (as all previous presidential administrations have done), an anti-Israel resolution that condemned its West Bank settlements (even in East Jerusalem, where expansions to long-existing Jewish communities have not been criticized by past Palestinian leaders ) as illegal. I must repeat what I have said previously at this space: West Bank settlements on the... Read more

וּכְתַבְתָּ֛ם עַל־מְזוּזֹ֥ת בֵּיתֶ֖ךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ ס9 And write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Have you ever seen a mezuzah on a doorpost of a Jewish home? It is a little rectangular container, usually silver or gold, containing parchment on which is written either the Shema or some other Torah passage.

This is the third in a series on The Shema (Deut 6.4-9) וְהָי֞וּ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֙ר אָנֹכִ֧י מְצַוְּךָ֛ הַיּ֖וֹם עַל־לְבָבֶֽךָ׃ 6 And let these words which I am commanding you today be on your heart [sing]. So the answer to our problem of not being able to love God sufficiently is meditation on the Word. First we have to go to these words of Scripture—not just these in the Pentateuch but all of Scripture—and then meditate on them (keep them on... Read more
