In 1790 George Washington assured the “Children of the Stock of Abraham” that the newly founded United States of America would be a safe home where “there shall be none to make him afraid.” Drawing on recent statistics indicating an eruption of thousands of anti-Semitic incidents, Jack Fowler in Philanthropy Daily wonders whether American Jews can still feel safe and whether the Founding Fathers’ stirring promise has lapsed.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
