TV Review - ‘And Just Like That’ and Anti-Semitism
Why does the hit show portray Jews in a manner that would engender outrage if it were directed at any other ethnic group? By: Mort Klein & Elizabeth Berney “Sex and the City” (SATC) fans appropriately expressed outrage after SATC’s reboot “And Just Like That” (AJLT) made an offensive joke about the Holocaust on Holocaust Remembrance Day. They further charged that the show was permeated with overdone “woke-ism.” But other deeply disturbing things about AJLT received little to no notice.
Letter | I’m being accused of racism for standing up for Jews
In the 1960s, I went to Mississippi to register Black voters. It was only natural for me; I had been a regular participant in sit-ins for Black housing rights and protest marches for civil rights. Having grown up in an all-Black neighborhood, I, like many other Jews at the time, thought it was horrifying that Black Americans were being denied their inalienable right to vote. I wanted to do my part.

KLEIN & LEVENSON: Netanyahu Makes Endorsement In American World Zionist Congress Election
American Jews are now embroiled in an important election battle over the U.S. seats at the World Zionist Congress (WZC) for the next five years. Record numbers of Jewish U.S. residents have been casting votes in this online election, which ends on March 11. The World Zionist Congress has a major impact on both Israel and Diaspora Jews. It helps control Israel’s major national institutions’ polices and funding priorities for a $1 billion annual budget.
The Forward ’s "Both Sides" Approach Has Failed
THE FORWARDis a treasured institution in Jewish media. Founded in 1897 as a Yiddish language socialist newspaper, in its English incarnation it has at times sought to speak for the entire Jewish community. This is the mandate claimed by the Forward’s online opinion editor, Batya Ungar-Sargon, who took up the post in 2017: to publish the full range of Jewish opinion, from far-left perspectives to far-right perspectives, in the name of intellectual debate and diversity.

But prospective students and their families, alumni, and donors should know that the university has a deeply troubling antisemitism problem that it won’t acknowledge or address.

Nevertheless, we disagree with his advocacy for creating a Palestinian-Arab state. It will be an Iranian-Hamas proxy terrorist regime threatening Israel. The respected Israeli BESA Center recently explained that a Palestinian state would be a grave danger to Israel’s security.
ZOA President Mort Klein Slams ‘Beautiful’ Natalie Portman As ‘Not Too Bright’
After Natalie Portman announced that she would withdraw from the Genesis Prize awards ceremony in Israel to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, one of her harshest American critics has been the Zionist Organization of America and its president, Morton Klein. Now, Klein has stepped it up a notch, drawing criticism in the process.
Why Does the ADL Continue to Hinder Anti-BDS Efforts?

The anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (“BDS”) campaign is hateful, antisemitic economic activity that is designed to delegitimize, economically destroy and culturally and academically isolate the Jewish state. Pro-Israel groups need to work together to combat the BDS onslaught, using every tool at our disposal — including legal action and anti-BDS laws — to curtail discriminatory BDS economic activity.
Torah Values and Why We Oppose Resettling Syrian Refugees
J Street rabbis, resettlement contractor HIAS (which stands to receive millions of our tax dollars to resettle Syrian migrants throughout the US) and President Obama all misleadingly argue that the Torah, and hence “Jewish values,” support large-scale unfettered immigration of ISIS-infiltrated Syrian Muslims into the United States.
