Read MorePosted on April 30, 2015 by JNS.org (JNS.org) The Indiana General Assembly has become the second-ever state legislature to pass a bill that formally opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Tennessee lawmakers approved a similar measure on April 21. Adopted in a voice vote, the Indiana Senate approved Resolution 74, which “expresses opposition to the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel” BDS movement. The Senate’s move...
In his Jan. 17 column, Matthew Tully misleadingly portrays concerns over the recent appointment of Rep. André Carson to the House Intelligence Committee as being motivated by an anti-Muslim bias. In fact, the concerns are directly related to Carson’s behavior and questions about his judgment and intentions. In June 2014, Carson was invited to be the keynote speaker at the newly established U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, the...
Published: February 12, 2013 3:00 a.m. in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

Article printed from Daniel Gordis – Dispatches from an Anxious State: URL to article: “What was the hardest thing about making aliya?” people still ask me. They expect, I imagine, that I’ll say something about our kids going to the army. Or about living in less than half the space we had when we lived in the States. Or, if they knew, they might imagine that I’d mention having one car for four drivers, rather than two cars for two drivers...
By Allon Friedman The American Thinker December 10, 2012 Like all supporters of Israel, I am acutely aware of the mainstream media’s all-pervading anti-Israel bias. I learned long ago that news reports which fairly present Israel’s version of the conflict are as rare as July snowflakes in Houston. A recent experience of mine only reinforced these beliefs. While leisurely perusing a recent edition of the Wall Street Journal, I came across an...
A letter by JAACI’s Vice President to the Indy Star Letters to the Editor In describing the latest violence between Israel and Gaza, The Star’s tendency is to report facts that are devoid of context. Since news without context is worthless, it is hard to avoid concluding that The Star would rather push the vague and morally equivalent notion of a “cycle of violence” than accurately report that the violence and suffering are entirely the...

From the toppling of Middle East potentates to the Tea Party’s dramatic rise to the recent historic public employee union legislation enacted across the Midwest, things suddenly seem to be turned on their heads. And from the unlikely location of central Indiana a new model has arisen for Jews whose unequivocal support for Israel and America has hitherto been marginalized. Background In...
