Civil Injustice

In this opinion piece, I examine the growing effort to frame prostitution as a progressive cause and argue that the commercialization of vulnerable people should never be mistaken for empowerment. Drawing on high-profile cases involving Jeffrey Epstein, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, and Robert Kraft, I explore how wealth, celebrity, and power often enable exploitation while masking coercion behind the language of choice. I also highlight the important work being done by organizations such as the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, Safe House Project, Voices Against Trafficking, and Enough Is Enough to combat trafficking, support survivors, and expose the realities of sexual exploitation. Ultimately, I challenge readers to confront the broader systems of trauma, poverty, abuse, and demand that continue to fuel human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, while asking whether society is willing to acknowledge that not every profitable market is morally acceptable.

An OpEd reflecting on Jewish American Heritage Month and the enduring role Jewish Americans have played in shaping the nation’s civic, cultural, economic, and moral foundations. The article explores themes of resilience, religious liberty, shared humanity, and the importance of preserving America’s identity as a diverse yet united society. Drawing connections between Jewish American history, civil rights, and the broader American experience, the piece argues that the nation’s strength has always come from its ability to embrace different cultures and perspectives while maintaining a common civic purpose as America approaches its 250th anniversary.

As the United States nears its 250th anniversary, we must confront how fear and stereotyping threaten the ideals we claim to uphold. Racial profiling erodes trust, weakens communities, and teaches future generations that justice is conditional. America’s strength has never been uniformity, but a shared commitment to fairness, dignity, and liberty for all.

Human trafficking at the U.S. southern border is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is a growing national security threat. As criminal networks exploit vulnerable migrants, they also create pathways that terrorists and bad actors can use to evade detection. Treating trafficking and border security as separate problems leaves Americans, and victims, at risk.

Silence in the face of extremist language isn’t neutrality — it’s complicity. Why public officials must reject rhetoric tied to violence and hate.

An examination of rising antisemitism and global jihadist terrorism, the lessons of 9/11, and why memory is essential to preventing future attacks.

Reflecting on Hamas’ October 7 attack, this OpEd warns Americans of terrorism’s evolving threats and the urgent need for vigilance and unity.

A growing wave of violence fueled by calls to "globalize the intifada" is spreading across the U.S., echoing the warning signs that preceded 9/11. Backed by terror states like Iran and Hamas, this rising threat demands urgent action before history repeats itself.

Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy—but it is not a shield for hatred or a license to kill. When protests turn into acts of violence, as seen in the murder of Israeli Embassy staffers Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky and the 9/11 terrorist attacks, society must draw a clear moral and legal line. This OpEd examines how weaponized rhetoric, cloaked as dissent, threatens not only lives but the very freedoms it falsely claims to defend.
