We have made every effort to identify those candidates who have shown sensitivity to the needs of the Jewish community. Read Article 2) Posted Sep 01 2010 Compare And Contrast By Editorial Board The State Department's swift condemnation of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's remarks during a non-public shiur to his followers is yet one more example of the Obama administration's mindset when it comes to the Middle East. Read Article 3) Posted Sep 01 2010 The Delusional Mr. Abbas By Editorial Board PA President Mahmoud Abbas has taken to touting the Middle East Quartet's March declaration calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state, an end to the "occupation," and a halt to settlement construction. He rejects Israel's insistence on resolving security issues first and then dealing with the issue of the borders of a Palestinian state. Incredibly, he also refuses to accept the notion that any negotiated settlement must finally settle the dispute between the Palestinians and Israel. Read Article 4) Posted Aug 25 2010 The Tragic Passing Of Yoseph Robinson By Editorial Board The life of Yoseph Robinson, a"h, the ger tzedek gunned down in a senseless robbery last week, is certainly a story with many significant dimensions. Ironically, though, with his apparent gift for introspection and intellectual honesty, he was perhaps the person best able to capture it. Read Article 5) Posted Aug 25 2010 The Illusory Move To Direct Talks By Editorial Board In recent weeks a constant refrain heard from the Palestinian Authority's Mahmoud Abbas was that he was being subjected to enormous pressure from the Obama administration - which will not publicly pressure Israel during the run-up to the November midterm elections - to move to direct negotiations with Israel without preconditions. Read Article 6) Posted Aug 25 2010 The Egg Crisis And Rubashkin By Editorial Board Recent news reports on the recall of hundreds of millions of eggs due to a salmonella-taint scare are an apt follow-up to the charges about overly close cooperation between the judge and prosecution in the Rubashkin cases. Read Article 7) Posted Aug 25 2010 The Wrong Role Model At Brooklyn College By Editorial Board A memorandum recently e-mailed to faculty members by the president of Brooklyn College urges them to participate in a program designed to welcome about 1,500 new transfer students to the school from schools around the United States and the world and help them "transition." The memo goes on to say: Read Article 8) Posted Aug 18 2010 The President And The Mosque By Editorial Board As of Tuesday evening, rumors continued to swirl that sponsors of the Ground Zero mosque may have decided to abandon their plans for the site. While the sponsors have denied this, it would make a lot of sense. Their patron in the White House is being savaged across the country - including by Democrats in Congress up for election in November - for expressing strong support for the project. Polls show some 68 percent of Americans oppose the plan. Moving the mosque to another location would take the focus off Mr. Obama, and the sponsors would no doubt like to come to the president's aid. Read Article 9) Posted Aug 11 2010 New Trial For Sholom Rubashkin By Editorial Board As has been widely reported, attorneys for former Agriprocessors CEO Sholom Rubashkin, convicted of multiple charges of bank fraud, are seeking a new trial based on newly discovered evidence of extensive contact between the trial judge, Linda Reade, and federal prosecutors in connection with the raid on the Agriprocessors plant and in the run-up to the prosecution of Mr. Rubashkin for alleged immigration law violations. Read Article 10) Posted Aug 11 2010 Stifling Debate Over The Ground Zero Mosque By Editorial Board From the beginning, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's support for the Ground Zero mosque has been couched in terms implying that such support reflected the revealed word. No suggestion that reasonable people could differ over the propriety of locating the mosque in that sensitive area remotely filtered through his remarks. Read Article 11) Posted Aug 04 2010 Message To Hillary By Editorial Board Anyone following the stunning meltdown in the fortunes of Barack Obama on the domestic scene and in the international arena has to wonder about the possibility of a primary challenge to the president by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2012. Read Article 12) Posted Aug 04 2010 The Cordoba House Initiative By Editorial Board Most everyone recognizes the slap in the face to America and the families of the 9/11 victims represented by the proposed Ground Zero mosque. And yet Americans are reluctant to oppose it because of our fierce commitment to freedom of religion. Even so, it is unfortunate that this commitment became the end of the inquiry rather than the beginning for many who support the mosque. Read Article 13) Posted Jul 28 2010 Conversion Perspectives By Editorial Board As we explored last week, the current conversion controversy in Israel involves much more than the determination of how one becomes a Jew. The unprecedented involvement of members of Congress, at the behest of American secular and non-Orthodox Jews, foreshadows efforts by some Americans to go beyond traditional attempts at persuasion regarding Israeli decision-making on all sorts of things, including foreign policy and in particular relations with the Palestinians. Read Article 14) Posted Jul 28 2010 Emasculating Kosher Law Enforcement By Editorial Board Everyone understands that New York State's dire financial situation requires that expenditures be cut, and sharply. Still, where and how deeply the cuts are made provide a window on what officials think about the various governmental services trimmed. It is something akin to that familiar governmental alert during a severe snowstorm or other emergency that only essential personnel should report for work. Read Article 15) Posted Jul 21 2010 Obama Postscript By Editorial Board Two weeks ago in this space we sharply disputed the suggestion of many that the problems between Israel and the Obama administration were more apparent than real; more the case of a personality clash between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu than diverging perceptions of national interests. Read Article 16) Posted Jul 21 2010 The Proposed Conversion Law By Editorial Board The controversy over Yisrael Beitenu MK David Rotem's proposed law granting the chief rabbis total control over conversions has taken center stage in Israeli coalition politics. Shas has joined Yisrael Beitenu in insisting the law be passed. Read Article 17) Posted Jul 15 2010 Rabbi Yehuda Amital, ZT"L By Editorial Board Read Article 18) Posted Jul 15 2010 What Was Bibi Up To? By Editorial Board Given President Obama's dismal polls and widespread expectations of a Democratic bloodbath in November's midterm elections, it is not difficult to understand why he would want to publicly play up to Prime Minister Netanyahu. The tensions the president created with Israel from the moment he took office has particularly eroded his standing in the Jewish community - a traditional source of votes and campaign contributions for Democrats - something he has to staunch and perhaps reverse. Read Article 19) Posted Jul 15 2010 Obama Postscript By Editorial Board Last week in this space we sharply disputed the suggestion of many that the problems between Israel and the Obama administration were more apparent than real and matters of a personality clash between the leaders of the two nations rather than diverging perceptions of national interests. Read Article 20) Posted Jul 07 2010 Make-Up Time? By Editorial Board It's amusing that the run-up to Tuesday's much anticipated meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu was dominated by speculation over whether the two leaders would be able to patch up their personal differences.
