Why Is Israel Held to a Different Standard?
We must affirm Israel’s right to defend its citizens with the same moral clarity we afford every other nation. To do otherwise is not just inconsistent – it’s unjust.

Holocaust distortion, denial, and erasure seep subtly into classrooms, campuses, and discourse. We must remain vigilant – not only out of solidarity with global Jewry, but as a commitment to our own democratic and humane values.
When terror wears a red crescent, it isn’t protected – it is disguising itself. And the world must stop pretending otherwise.
Israel is not just a state – it is the embodiment of the triumph of a people over history’s greatest injustices, and a living example of the enduring power of the human spirit to overcome even the harshest of adversities.
Donors, NGOs, and hospital administrators have moral leverage. They provide resources, training, infrastructure. That gives them a voice. It’s time they used it to pressure Hamas to stop operating from hospitals.
It is deeply disrespectful to distort Jewish ritual into a tool for anti-Zionist activism. It is not justice. It is not liberation. It is appropriation.
To embrace Jewish identity fully (unapologetically and joyfully) is the most powerful response to those who have sought, and still seek, to erase it. Our answer to centuries of erasure is this: Am Yisrael Chai.
At a time when credibility and even-handedness are desperately needed, the UN Secretary-General has chosen ideology over integrity. That doesn’t just undermine Israel – it undermines the very institutions meant to foster peace.
No nation would allow an enemy committed to its destruction free access through its borders. No amount of aid will help if it is funneled into rockets. And no ‘resistance’ can justify a political vision that leads only to rubble.
If taxpayer money is being used to perpetuate hatred rather than promote peace, then urgent policy changes are needed.
People tend to “not check what happened in the past,” acting ambassador to Russia Alexander Ben Zvi has said.
If the world genuinely cares about peace and the well-being of Palestinians, it must recognize the harsh truth: Hamas is the greatest obstacle to peace – not Israel.
Israel has every legal and moral right to ensure the defeat of the terrorist organisation and the return of the hostages.
