Words of the Week: Yaacov Katz
“The truth is that the news media do have a problem in much of their reporting on Israel and Diaspora Jewry. It might help further their understanding if it weren’t called an ‘antisemitism problem’ — a loaded term that does more to insult than educate — and were described instead as an ignorance problem.
This essay is intended to address that ignorance.”
