But where he saw reason to despair, Elissa Strauss sees an opportunity for fun.   OPINION I Don't Care About Jewish Tribal Loyalty — And That Doesn't Make Me Anxious Paul Golin      Are American Jews really as anxiety-ridden as Gal Beckerman claims? Paul Golin says most of us are post-ethnic, post-tribal, post-denominational, Jewish-when-we-want-to-be Jews — and fine with that.   OPINION How Not To Cover a Gay Pride Parade Stabbing Rachel Delia Benaim      When reporting on the stabbing attack at Jerusalem’s gay pride parade, several ultra-Orthodox outlets abandoned both journalistic standards and Jewish ethics, Rachel Benaim writes. How can we view them as reputable news sources?   OPINION What Gay Pride Parade Stabber Has in Common With His Victims Ysoscher Katz      If only the stabber at Jerusalem’s gay pride parade had paused to speak to the marchers, he would have realized how much he had in common with them, Ysoscher Katz writes.   OPINION Don't Blame All Ultra-Orthodox for Actions of One Stabber Avi Shafran      The murder of Shira Banki by Yishai Schlisser at Jerusalem’s gay pride parade was indefensible. Indefensible as well, though, were some reactions to the stabbings, Avi Shafran argues.
