Righteous Chutzpah at JFK!

Saudi Airlines No Jews

It was only 73 years ago that my Jewish mother was asked to wear a yellow star on her clothes and was forced to stand in the last car of the Paris Metro train with the other "Jews".

It was about 50 years ago when African-Americans were forced to sit at the back of the bus, drink at "colored people" water fountains or use different entrances to public places.

Thank God that we live in the "wonderful" post-modern age of tolerance when human beings are all equal under God or "mother nature" (I can't leave out atheists lest I am accused of the same crime I am about to expose). For me, it is clear that our equality (under God) is a given and should dictate our behavior as we interact with others regardless of race, creed, sex and/or origins.

So we are all equals, right? Absolutely! Read More

Is There Another Holocaust Coming?

Pleading with Israel

I am always extremely hesitant to use the term "Holocaust" to describe anything other than the events that took place in Nazi-occupied Europe in the 1940s. The gruesome horror of the Shoah (Hebrew word for the Holocaust meaning "the Catastrophe"), places it in a league of its own in the annals of human depravity and ethnic cleansing. This is of course not meant in any way to minimize any other genocide, but simply to recognize the unique place held by the Holocaust.

This catastrophe could be summarized as "the systematic attempt at the complete destruction of European Jewry" and even though the words "Shoah" and "Holocaust" have become somewhat taboo within most civilized circles, various components from the events that these two words describe remain a threat to my people worldwide.

It is with some trepidation today that I approach the pulpit because I feel the gravity of the subject, and I also feel the inadequacy that comes from knowing that no words of mine can even begin to encapsulate the magnitude of evil which is embodied by the Holocaust.

Truth, Half-Truths and Lies: “Christ at the Checkpoint” anti-Israel Conference

Palestinian Christians and Zionism
For as long as I can remember, the Middle East has been in turmoil. Arabs and Jews appear to have been at each other's throats since the day Israel was reborn as a modern nation in May of 1948 (that very day also being known as “al-Nakba” or “the Catastrophe” in the Islamic culture). Read More

Would you rather have a nuclear Iran than a war?
