The idea of Israel has long been an integral part of Jewish-American identity. But with a generational change among American Jews and increasingly stark political differences with Israel’s leadership, could this be the dawn of a new era?

My Palestinian mother was like Baltimore’s Toya Graham
In the first Intifada, my mother recognized the need to resist but she also wanted to keep her daughter safe — so she locked the doors and hid the keys. But if we are to be consistent, shouldn’t police officers’ mothers be responsible for stopping brutality? Shouldn’t Israeli soldiers’ mothers put a stop the arrests…

How Europe’s Jews lost their humanity in Gaza
The racism that has swept across Israel is devastating to behold. It is also an abdication of what Jews have prized for centuries: A sense of common humanity.

The Nakba: Addressing Israeli arrogance
For Israelis wishing to participate in a common struggle, relieving ourselves of our ignorance and arrogance should be the top priority.

Romney visit: Hitting the ‘Palestinian punching bag’ again
Over the years, Israeli politicians have used various disparaging remarks to describe Palestinians. During this U.S. election, it looks like American politicians have adopted the same tactic, as recently shown during Mitt Romney’s visit to Israel.
