There are reports of Jews and Israelis being attacked by mobs of Arabs and Muslims on the streets of Amsterdam -- home of Anne Frank -- after a football game involving Ajax Amsterdam (once a "Jewish" team).
The same pro-Palestinian hooligans probably want Jews to leave Israel -- if they aren't killed first -- and to "go back" to Europe. Meanwhile, in Europe...
Western Europe has so little appeal to me, partly for this reason. And I speak French.
Eastern Europe is a different story. Those countries have a different outlook -- almost American in its values -- and even though there are some dark things in the past, when I've gone there I've met people eager to embrace the future.
My favorite city in Europe is Prague, where the Czech people not only embrace Jews but consider themselves, in a sense, Jewish, due to their history.
Notably, there is a far lower immigrant population in Eastern Europe. Not a coincidence.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
