    “And then there was failure: none gtr than staggering, staining failure of to depict Hitler's methodical extermination of Jews of Europe as a horror beyond all other horrors in WW2.” - Max Frankel (11/14/2001) NYTimes failed Europe’s Jews. Now is it Jewish state’s turn?

    The more I think about the “cartoon,” the more appalled I am. While is rising...synagogues are attacked & Jews killed...democratic is demonized...& Jewish institutions are forced to bolster security... The “paper of record” pours oil on the fire.

    The “cartoon” is beyond shocking. Antisemitic in the extreme. No, “apology” isn’t adequate. Rather, owes readers an explanation of how this happened — after all, decision to print it involved more than one person — & what it says about the paper’s view of Israel & Jews.

    History is full of journalists outwitted by demagogues. Iran’s regime has way too much blood on its hands to get any “pass” from . Whether it’s religious minorities, gays, dissidents, Syrians, Americans, Argentines, Israelis...list of Iran’s targets is very long.

    Me: Can you explain why divides into “political” & “military” wings? A European Amb. in Brussels: I can’t. Me: Defies logic. Hezbollah is one entity, not two. Plus, if EU wants to fight , why allow “political” wing to operate? Amb: Ask someone else.

    Despite a 2008 campaign promise to “recognize the ,” Pres. Obama didn’t in 8 yrs in office. Nor did his predecessors, nor his successor, till now at least. The reason? Fear of Turkish reaction. How painfully sad the US could be intimidated to deny history.

    April 24 is Remembrance Day. 1.5 million Armenians murdered by Ottoman Turks in early 20th c. After 104 yrs, Ankara still hasn’t acknowledged the genocide. It’s high time to do so instead of continuing to deny the facts. The truth is the truth. We remember.

    Whether it’s churches in Sri Lanka, mosques in New Zealand, or synagogues in the US, people must be able to pray w/o fear. And whether terrorists are jihadists or white supremacists, murder is murder. They want to destroy & divide. We want to build & bond. We must prevail.

    If there are 2 nations on earth that should understand each other, they’re South Korea 🇰🇷 & 🇮🇱. Via impressive human capital & grit, they’ve become hi-tech powerhouses. Yet both live in dangerous, unpredictable & heavily-armed regions. Always glad to be back in 🇰🇷.

    Terror in . Many killed, wounded. Among targets were Catholic churches celebrating Easter Sunday. People of good will need to stand as one. Let’s show up at a church in solidarity. Let’s reach out directly to our Catholic friends. Let’s help rebuild the churches.

    Start of Passover is reminder of start of 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Against all the odds, poorly armed & totally outnumbered Jews fought heavily equipped Nazi forces. Held them off for weeks while inflicting major damage. Here’s to their amazing bravery & sacred memory.

    Same jokes are always told at the Passover table. We pretend we’re hearing them for first time. Why did Jews wander in the desert for 40 years? Answer I: Moses refused to ask for directions Answer II: It took them that long to find only place (Israel) in the region w/ no oil

    Passover celebrates the Jewish Exodus from Egypt & triumph of freedom over slavery. Family & friends gather at a festive table. The holiday is replete w/ meaningful rituals & symbols. It’s filled w/ memories of years past. And it’s a time to recall those no longer w/ us.

    I’m reminded daily of life’s fragility. And of what counts most. If each of us did more random acts of kindness—helping hands, aid for the elderly & disabled, volunteer work, kindness to children....—maybe we’d set a contagious example for a world much in need. Happy holidays!

    At seders & in African American churches, these words are sung: “Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land. Tell old Pharaoh, let my people go.” Jews fled Egypt 3000+ yrs ago for physical & spiritual liberation. No, not to Europe, but to land of . History matters.

    My late mother spent 17 mos. fleeing Nazis & Vichy in France. She found safety in neutral Portugal. She’d speak often of the available & delicious bread. Now I learn she wasn’t alone. A museum in Portugal for the 30k Jews who transited has this testimony. Brought me to tears.

    22,000 Poles were murdered by Stalinist regime in April/May 1940. Victims included military & police officers, intellectuals & ’s chief rabbi. For decades, Soviets pretended they weren’t guilty. They were. Totally. Tragically. Shamefully. Never Forget.
