Chairman Weiss: House Republicans Have Struck A Blow against Anti-Semitism
Ilhan Omar’s removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a 218-211 vote struck a major blow to an antisemitic voice in Congress. Unfortunately, it has been falsely portrayed as a response to the Democrats’ previous removal of far-right congresspeople from their committees. In fact, the vote against Omar was House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s effort…

What’s In A Jewish Name?
“Max Lehmann, 18/03/1892, Mainz, Germany, Murdered in Bergen Belsen camp.” A name, a date, a place. An identity – a Jewish identity. Max Lehmann was my husband’s grandfather.

George Soros’ Role in The Rise of American Anti-Semitism
The rise of antisemitism and antisemitic violence in the U.S. is partly the result of the political donations of George Soros. For example, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg received a previously unheard-of sum of $1,000,000 from Soros that was crucial to his election victory.

From Dr. Frager’s Desk: Both McCarthy’s & Netanyahu’s Patience Paid Off
After 15 rounds of voting and four days of wrestling and wrangling, Rep. Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives on Jan. 7. The last time the election of a speaker required multiple ballots was in 1855. In 2023, however, the proceedings were relatively tame in comparison. In the pre-Civil War atmosphere…
