Throughout recorded history, Jewish people have been under siege. They have never been a dominant population, always a minority. And, for much of history, they were essentially homeless; they didn’t have a country they could call their own. One would be hard pressed to come up with a valid r…

In his State of the Union speech, President Trump called for unity. Trump and his supporters call for “unity,” but apparently only when they are being criticized or called to account for their unethical and sometimes, illegal actions. To these conservatives, “unity” only means getting their …
