With less than two months to go until Election Day, the Kamala Harris transition team is starting to take shape, and names are being dropped on who will hold key cabinet positions should she win the presidency. Several “outreach director” appointments in the campaign are concerning enough, but the reports of who Harris has on the shortlist for Attorney General is a harbinger on how morally bankrupt this administration could be.

For Anglos who own homes in Israel, managing a property from 7,000 miles away can be a daunting task. Fortunately, a range of expert services are available to help make the process seamless, whether you want to generate rental income, use your home as a holiday getaway, or both.

On Saturday, August 31, six hostages, including American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who were taken by Hamas on October 7, were found executed by Hamas as IDF soldiers were closing in. I attempted to write an official statement at that time, but no statement I could conceive of put that act of unspeakable barbarity in the appropriate context of overall systemic barbarity on the part of Hamas and its patron Iran – the head of the snake – and the series of harmful actions and inaction by the United States generally, and the Biden administration specifically, which led to these six hostages being murdered. To attempt to isolate and mourn this event in isolation is to ignore the continuum of events that led to the murder of these six innocents, and I can no longer mourn victims in a vacuum. Every such episode is an opportunity to demand a change for what got us here.

Can you imagine the international reaction if in the month of August, there had been 90 attempts by Jews to murder Palestinian Arabs?

This week, federal law enforcement officials executed a series of raids on several top aides of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, signaling the emergence of a new criminal investigation. Reports from local news outlets indicate that the FBI executed search warrants at the homes of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks, and First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, who shares a residence with Schools Chancellor David Banks. Additionally, phones belonging to NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and senior adviser Timothy Pearson were also seized. The investigations have even extended to Terence Banks, a consultant and brother to both Philip and David Banks, indicating a deepening probe into the mayor’s inner circle.

Shame on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for giving succor, credibility and legitimacy to these dangerous groups plaguing Chicago and elsewhere.

 (August 26, 2024 / JNS) It’s very troubling that President Joe Biden said during his Democratic National Convention speech that “those [anti-Israel] protesters out in the street, they have a point.” Similarly, during her interview with The Nation in July, Vice President Kamala Harris stated that the anti-Israel “protesters” “are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza. … I understand the emotion behind it.”
