Fast Forward Why Jews Should Fight To Save Net Neutrality
The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 Thursday to scrap so-called “net neutrality” rules, opening the door for a major reshaping of the internet.

Opinion Will The Flynn-Kushner-Israel Sideshow Hurt American Jews?
Because he’s playing three-dimensional chess, it’s easy to forget what special prosecutor Robert Mueller is really after. He’s investigating the suspicion that the Donald Trump for President campaign actively colluded with Russia in its effort to undermine the election.

Opinion How do we be Jewish after a year of Trump’s America?
Most American Jews awakened on Nov. 9, 2016, in a profound state of shock, fury, fear, bewilderment and disillusionment. That is not a partisan statement. It is a political fact.

Opinion How Trump’s Bumbling And Netanyahu’s Cunning Landed Them In The Same Place
It’s hard not to notice the similarities between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.
