Why that Ohio town is named 'East Palestine'

Towns such as East Palestine, Ohio, were established by 19th-century religious Christian settlers; they chose those names to express their spiritual attachment to the land and people of the Bible, not today's Palestinian Arabs.

America’s Holocaust failure through the lens of 21st-century politics

Ken Burns’s new documentary focuses on immigration law and anti-Semitism in ways that both illuminate and distort the lessons of history while largely giving a pass to FDR.

Ken Burns is a dirtbag who recently compared the flying of 50 illegal immigrant to Martha’s Vineyard to the Holocaust. His only concern in making this documentary was to exploit the deaths of six million Jews to push his political agenda. Which is why he rescued to talk about FDR’s refusal to help the Jews of Europe. This is yet another example of leftists exploiting, and therefore demeaning the memory of the most horrific genocide in human history.

On visible and invisible Jews

We all know that raw prejudice among Jews against those who are visibly Jewish—that they are loud, rude, unwashed, contemptuous towards outsiders and all the rest of that baggage—is our community’s dirty secret.

I was Orthodox at one point. Having been raised in an overwhelmingly secular environment, I can tell you first hand that there is far more prejudice that comes from the non-Orthodox toward the Orthodox than the other way around. Unfortunately, it can mirror non-Jewish antisemitism in its ignorance and ferocity. Many non-observant Jews, particularly liberal Jews, have zero contact with the Orthodox world and fall prey to the same prejudices and suspicion of religious people as anyone else.
