Despite everything — wars, antisemitism, terrorism, the enmity of others — Israelis know they live in the world's most miraculous nation. Blessed with happiness, they continue to be fruitful and multiply. israelnationalnews.com/news/407575

By most yardsticks, Trump’s first 100 days have added up to a striking record of failure. His honeymoon ended almost as soon as it began. His approval ratings have plunged, even on the issues that won him the election. My latest column for Boston Globe Opinion: bostonglobe.com/2025/04/30/opi…

"Nakba" is how Israel's enemies refer to their defeat in the 1948 war — a war Arabs launched to prevent a 2-state solution. The head of the Arab League said it would be "a war of extermination & a momentous massacre." One Holocaust had just ended and Arabs were demanding another.

We torched Biden for abusing emergency powers during COVID. Now some Republicans want to do the same thing? If tyranny is wrong in blue, it's still wrong in red.

In March Trump said he "couldn't care less" if car prices rise because of tariffs. This is the same thing—he couldn't care less if children end up with less because toys will cost more. (Of course, he's talking about other people's families. His grandchildren won't go without.)

Yeah, Dinesh D'Souza, he probably would occupy a much lower station if he still lived in India. Didn't you once write a book celebrating America because, among other things, it makes it possible for immigrants from even the humblest origins to achieve success and status that would

There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.

America's fertility rate is falling through the floor. Fewer children are born every year. Can a $5,000 federal "baby bonus" change that? Not likely. As I write in a new Boston Globe Ideas column, only a change in culture, not cash, can spark a new baby boom. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/04/opi…

America's fertility rate has been plummeting for years and a $5K baby bonus won't change that. The only way to reverse demographic decline is to inculcate a worldview that celebrates family life as a great blessing — and that won't be easy. My latest: bostonglobe.com/2025/05/04/opi…

When Wisconsin judge #HannahDugan was arrested for helping an illegal immigrant avoid arrest, her supporters likened her to abolitionists who flouted the Fugitive Slave Act. Nativists like Rich Lowry call that analogy "lunatic." Here's why they're wrong. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/07/opi…

Don't be such a shallow Trump toadie. Pence speaks for many millions of Americans who were eventually able to save up for a home precisely because global trade made their clothes, shoes, toys, and furniture cheaper. But MAGA disdains people's choices, just like socialists do.

The rule of law is deeply rooted in our tradition, but so is resistance to bad laws. MAGA nativists' attitude toward undocumented aliens boils down to: "What part of illegal don't you understand?" My Boston Globe Opinion column takes issue with that view. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/07/opi…

This claim that Israel is committing a genocide is an absolute lie, and anyone that spreads it is participating in antisemitism. Even using Gaza Health Ministry figures, around 52,000 Palestinians have died, of which Israel estimates 20,000 were militants. That’s a combatant
