Michael Goodwin says it like it’s; Vice President JD Vance’s verbal assaults on Israel ought to drive us to contemplate whether or not Israel can be subject to the identical vilification if it weren’t a Jewish state (“Attacks on Israel make zero sense,” June 21).
The actions of America’s outright enemies by no means appear to garner the identical criticism.

He has it backward: In the neighborhood the place Israel is positioned, Israel is the one actual ally of the United States.

It’s MAGA — not MIGA.
Israel will get away with a lot as a result of of America’s backing.
For far too long, Israelis have used what the Nazis did to them as an excuse to lash out at anybody who does them hurt.
But now that they’ve leveled Gaza, it’s time for the Middle East to get peaceable.
Other international locations have handled atrocities and never one has been in a position to get away with what Israel has carried out for close to 100 years now.

With America’s birthday approaching subsequent month, Trump must be waving the purple, white and blue in celebration — not the white flag of give up to Iran.

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani calling the American Israel Public Affairs Committee “monsters.”
Mayor Mamdani accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee of being monsters who “turn us against one another (“Rabbi: Zo full of hatred,” June 22).”
The actual monster who turns people in opposition to Jews and Israelis — at a time when antisemitic violence has skyrocketed in New York City — has a beard and a good smile.

I’m sick of Mamdani accusing Israel of committing genocide.
Genocide is the whole destruction of a human group.
If Israel needed to do this, it wouldn’t have coated Gaza with leaflets for civilians to get out.
How can we enable the mayor of a metropolis with a giant Jewish population to unfold these lies?

The mayor by no means misses an alternative to show his true antisemitic emotions.
Calling AIPAC monsters is past the pale.
Kudos to Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz for calling him out on his hateful rhetoric.
The Jews in New York are in a very precarious place.
The solely monsters listed below are Mamdani and his followers.
