Biden and the Taylor Force Act (Michael Lumish)

People are going to say that I am a broken record. They will say that almost nobody really cares about the Taylor Force Act. They will argue that it is ridiculous to think that a Biden administration will finance the murder of Jews in Israel, despite "pay-for-slay" or the "Martyrs Fund."Of course, the great majority of people who make such claims will not have the slightest...

Pay to Slay (Mike Lumish)

I still cannot get over the fact that any Democrat who comes into the White House will favor "pay-to-slay." This is the policy wherein Mahmoud Abbas' Palestinian Authority (PA) literally pays-off random Arabs who kill Jews in Israel with foreign tax dollars. What is even more strange is that Democrats seem entirely oblivious to this practice. Trump cut funding to...

Sarah Tuttle-Singer's "Jerusalem Drawn and Quartered" : A Book Review (Mike Lumish)

Writing about Sarah Tuttle-Singer's work sometimes gets me into trouble. Perhaps that is why it is fun. Her Jerusalem Drawn and Quartered: One Woman's Year in the Heart of the Christian, Muslim, Armenian, and Jewish Quarters of Old Jerusalem is a poignant and transgressive memoir. It is about love and hatred, happiness and pain and family. This book is...

Jews and anti-White Racism (Michael Lumish)

I recently published a Facebook tidbit titled, "The Grounding of Democratic Party Racism is the Progressive Left." There I suggest that the progressive-left is racist in three primary ways. These are anti-white racism, antisemitic anti-Zionism, and an imperial condescension toward those of non-European descent. In response, Corinne Blackmer, a Professor...

The Great Jewish "Whiteness" Thing (Michael Lumish)

The Great Jewish "Whiteness" Thing Michael Lumish Micha Mitch Danzig, Attorney, former IDF, Middle East analyst The question of Ashkenazi Jewish "whiteness" is receiving increased attention. If to be "white" means anything it means to be of European descent. But in today's western-left political culture what it really means is "bad, racist, colonialist,...

Kahane's Baby (Michael Lumish)

Kahane's Baby Michael Lumish In pondering the Tlaib / Omar Israel fiasco we learned that while the Democrats were throwing a fit because Netanyahu decided against allowing US Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilham Omer into the country, they seem to have forgotten that the US refused to issue a visa to Knesset member Michael Ben Ari in 2012 when he was part...

The Unbearable Lightness of Jewish Whiteness (Michael Lumish)

In reference to the piece by Vic Rosenthal, titled, "Are there 'Arab Jews?'” He opposes the notion of "Arab Jews" on the basis of historical analysis and an appreciation for the ways that the language we use heavily influences the outcome of the discussion... as he has in the past with terms such as "West Bank", a phrase designed to rob the Jewish people of our heritage...

Harry Lumish: May His Memory be a Blessing (Michael Lumish)

Harry Lumish: May His Memory be a Blessing Michael Lumish יהי זכרו לברכה Hebrew Orphan Asylum, 373 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, New York A few weeks ago my father, Harry Lumish, passed of natural causes just short of his 99th birthday. The odds of a man born in 1920 and living to the age of 99 are about 200 to 1. He arrived in this world in Medzhybizh,...

The Hatred for Sarah Tuttle-Singer (Michael Lumish)

The Hatred for Sarah Tuttle-Singer Michael Lumish I like Sarah Tuttle-Singer, social media editor of the Times of Israel. She is a Jewish California mom and Israeli living with her young kids in Jerusalem and writing and editing for that prominent venue. Her 2018 book is Jerusalem, Drawn and Quartered: One Woman’s Year in the Heart of the Christian,...

Democrats and Jews (Michael Lumish)

The Democratic Party is sabotaging its Jewish constituency and, thereby, in some measure, punching itself in the face. It has put American Jews -- who are traditionally among the most loyal Democrats -- into the position of having to choose between a political party and our own families... our own people. In 2008, I was part of the 80 percent of the...
