Anti-Semitism in Kansas, Ukraine proves hatred alive and well

As shocking as it may seem, the devastation and horror of World War II ended nearly 70 years ago. The world has changed considerably in the decades that followed, but recent events remind us just how fresh some of the wounds of that era remain. A deranged man went into a Jewish Community Center near Kansas City with the intent of killing Jews just prior to the start of Passover. He opened fire, killing three people — none happened to be Jewish — before shouting “Heil Hitler” after police had him in custody.

Food waste damages the planet, and we’re to blame

Tomorrow will be too late. We need to reduce our waste now. Almost every environmental issue we face goes back to overconsumption. In the U.S. alone, 40 percent of food today goes uneaten, according to the National Resources Defense Council.
