From the frontlines of the Israel-Hamas War, Lt. Col. (res.) Avital Leibovich, director of AJC Jerusalem, joins us to discuss the current pause in fighting between Israel and the terror group Hamas, the release of hostages, and more.
AJC is deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. The vast network of U.S.-Mexico economic and commercial ties, border security, and the flow of migrants are among the key issues that the two presidents were expected to discuss.
Amid the terrifying increase of antisemitic harassment, intimidation, and violence around the world in the wake of the October 7 terror attack against Israel, American Jewish Committee (AJC) today released updated terms to its Translate Hate glossary, a tool to help people identify, understand, and report antisemitism.
I was in Israel when the war broke out. My spouse and I flew for the holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah to spend time with our children who live in Israel. The first part of our trip was pure joy. And then October 7th brought us fear, sadness, and uncertainty.
As Jews, we have always jumped into the celebration of Thanksgiving. Since arriving in the United States three generations ago, my family has embraced this holiday as representative of the protection this country would give to us as Jews.
