Chairman Weiss: Voting Against An Anti-Semite Should Be An Easy Decision
There should be bipartisan consensus in support of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s move to remove antisemitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the House Foreign Relations Committee. Unfortunately, there isn’t. This is shocking because on March 7, 2019 both parties overwhelmingly passed Resolution 183 condemning antisemitism.

Chairman Weiss: Jordanian Control of The Temple Mount Will Destroy The “Status Quo”
If the Biden administration supports the “status quo” on the Temple Mount, why is it speaking in positive terms about Jordanian authority over the site?

From Dr. Frager’s Desk: Netanyahu’s New Government Makes Up for Lost Opportunities
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s persistence and determination finally paid off after five tries in three years. Israel, the Jewish People and Democracy are the real winners.
