NewsEditor, , , , , ,

Hate attacks are proof that antisemitism is alive and well. But fearmongering and regressive policing are not the answer As the year draws to a close, the air in Brooklyn feels heavy.

NewsEditor, , , , , ,

KRASNOGORIVKA, UkraineThe front line is only one kilometer away from the childrens soccer club where five- and six-year-old boys were exercising on Monday morning. And the childrens music school is even closer, 800 meters, which is to say half a mile. All the windows are covered, since shock waves from explosions have broken them so many times.
