Action report: “Never Again Para Nadie: Jews Against ICE Boston”, July 2, 2019

“Never Again” means never again for everyone. My thoughts about protesting ICE in Boston on July 2, 2019, and my experience being arrested during that protest.

“60 Minutes” story about Gaza war is a perversion of journalism

The “60 Minutes” May 3 story about the 2014 Gaza War, “The Lesson of War”, was rife with implicit falsehoods, lies of commission and omission, and false moral equivalences, it painted an astoundingly inaccurate picture, thereby doing a grave disservice to listeners and to the cause of peace.

Unwelcome at Stoddard’s Pub, Boston

To: Jamie Walsh, Manager, Stoddard’s Pub Subject: Poor experience at Stoddard’s Dear Jamie, I dined at Stoddard’s last night with six of my coworkers. It was not a positive experience. Our outing to Stoddard’s was one of our regular team dinners, which are about much more than just eating and drinking. They are about solidifying… Read More »
