Community Why the U.S. Presidential Election Matters for Israel’s Environment
Israelis are interested in the U.S. presidential election. But who ends up in the White House does not only impact the most obvious foreign policy initiatives – military aid, the future of the Iran nuclear deal, a potential two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. I see the future of U.S. environmental policy as the most…

News Gloria Steinem: Electing Hillary Clinton Won’t End Sexism
Five decades after she helped launch the feminist movement, Gloria Steinem hopes to see a woman sit in the White House next January. But as she told National Public Radio in an interview last Friday, she’s under no illusion that sexism will soon disappear. “I’m more dismayed than thrilled because I think the level of…

Life When Trump was on ‘The Nanny’
As I’ve told all who will listen, the strangest thing about this election, to me, has been less that my country might be going totalitarian (I’ve read enough Hannah Arendt to know that such things, unfortunately, happen) as who that would-be totalitarian leader is.

Israel News Down to the Dog Whistles, Donald Trump’s Jerusalem Rally Could Have Happened in Idaho
The event had the hallmarks of a classic Donald Trump rally.

The problem, Americans had heard for years, was that we, unlike our more sophisticated counterparts across the Atlantic, expected puritanical saintliness from our politicians. Why couldn’t we just (tosses neck-scarf) look the other way, and focus on our leaders’ ability to do the job? And then, 2016 happened. All of a sudden, we have a…

News 5 Things About Gloria Allred
Donald Trump’s taped boast about assaulting women — and later assertions from a dozen women that he acted as he said — have stirred a hornet’s nest of sexual harassment and assault allegations. For two decades, Jewish attorney Gloria Allred has been at the center of that discussion, representing clients who have accused powerful men…

Fast Forward Is Boris Epshteyn the First Face of Trump TV?
Since the launch of his presidential campaign last year, Donald Trump has taken over the cable news airwaves. Almost ubiquitous as the man himself, Trump spokesman Boris Epshteyn has made more than 100 television appearances for the candidate. Epshteyn, a Russian-Jewish immigrant and a 34-year-old attorney and Republican, might also be as controversial as his…
