Former spy chief says media failed to report widely on antisemitism
By Erin HandleyFormer spy boss Dennis Richardson has criticised the media's handling of "blatant antisemitism" in Australia after the October 7 Hamas attacks and has called for an "open discussion" about extremist Islamists without targeting the broader Australian Muslim community.

I was very young when he passed away, but I knew him and I remember him. He arrived in the US in 1913. I have his fancy kippah (probably bought in the States not all that long ago, but it was his) and a matzoh cloth his wife Bessie, my great-grandmother, embroidered. I knew her too.
I also have a pair of decorated book covers for siddurim that supposedly belonged to *his* grandfather. I can't verify that - he didn't tell me that, I heard that later - but I'm glad to have those, too.

My great-grandfather left his shtetl in the Pale and came to America for three reasons.
1) to avoid the pogroms.
2) to avoid impressment and involuntary service in the Czar's army.
(I thought that was a hell of a thing. Either the cossacks come and try to kill you, or you could be forced into the military to serve involuntarily for twenty years. Or both!)
3) To get away from the Rabbi. He was sick of it. Sick of the stifling traditional life.

Wild thing about cantorial school: learning that SO many prayer melodies are built on bad Hebrew. I used to think this was, like, an ashkenaz vs. sefardi thing, but it's all based in biblical, and the ta'amim are written right there, telling you where the accent falls.
So why is it lehadlik ner shel SHAbbat and not shabbAT? Yiddish accents preferring penultimate stress! I've been singing with an accent for a language I've never spoken, lol.

From “The Forbidden Question,” (“De verboden vraag”) De Groene Amsterdammer, September 9, 2026, excerpted from Antizionisme: Een Joodse geschiedenis (Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History):
Benjamin Moser describes unlearning #Zionism as “a process of growth, a deconstruction,” comparing it to unlearning a mother tongue.
He writes that Zionism was a recent and contested project, not an ancient or inevitable expression of #Judaism. Anti-Zionism among Jews was older than Zionism; before Herzl, the idea of Jewish return to Palestine was originally Christian, while many Jews saw Zionist nationalism, separatism, and militarism as a step backward.
Rejecting Zionism was not “amputating” part of himself but entering a hidden Jewish tradition that Zionism had suppressed and that Zionism’s escalating cruelty ultimately vindicated. He’s calling for Jewish self-centeredness to end and for Palestinians, “the real victims of Zionism,” to be placed at the center.
