The 19th Knesset opens Tuesday with new blood and totally different faces that may change Israel’s wildest tragic-comedy show into a more serious parliament. More than one third of the Knesset is comprised of new legislators, the most prominent being Naftali Bennett, leader of Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home), and Yair Lapid, chairman of the Future […]
A major orthodox Jewish New York developer wants to open up a new Jewish Lower East Side kosher restaurant to replace the old Schildkraut Vegetarian Restaurant at 171 East Broadway.

Sen. John McCain has tweeted what every rational journalist wanted to write Monday: “So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space - wasn't he just there last week?” McCain was referring to Iran’s dubious claim that it sent a monkey into space, but the noble values of a fellow Republican Congressman, an Arab-American, prompted […]
The Palestinian Authority’s senior negotiator has responded to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s call for a resumption of peace talks by saying that to do so would be “lunacy.” Saeb Erekat plainly stated that “negotiations” really means “obligations,” meaning that Israel must agree to stop building for Jews in half of Jerusalem as well as in Judea […]
Praising suicide bombers while demanding peace with Israel continues to be the two-pronged strategy of the Palestinian Authority.

Israel bombed a Hizbullah listening post in Lebanon Sunday night, unaffected by Syrian and Iran threats to retaliate for the bombing of anti-aircraft missiles on the their to Hizbullah.
A new study funded by the U.S. State Dept. unsurprisingly concludes that both Israel and the Palestinian Authority textbooks ignore the other side even though it admits that Israeli textbooks tell their students more about the Palestinian Authority and are more self-critical. A PA education ministry official, Jihad Zarkarneh, blamed Israel for Arab textbooks being […]
The IDF Sunday night resumed a crackdown on Hamas politicians active in Judea and Samaria and arrested nine senior Hamas legislators. Soldiers also took into custody at least 18 other PA terror suspects. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' security forces officially are supposed to be tackling terrorism in Judea and Samaria, but the IDF usually does […]
More than 3,000 Gaza teenagers have earned a degree as “resistance fighters,” and de facto Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh is making sure they will be able to continue their higher education with a B.A. in terrorism. They learned one hour a week, using fake or real rifles and crawled under barbed wire to help […]
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, who campaigned on an anti-Israel platform, vowed never to visit Jerusalem, and whose country is on the brink of bankruptcy, received four new F-16 war planes on Sunday from the United States, which praised Egypt “as a force for peace, security and leadership as the Middle East proceeds with its challenging […]
When the Shas Sephardi Haredi religious party is really to give up a Cabinet post for the sake of funding for yeshivas, you know they are really getting nervous.
John Kerry’s name today would have been John Kohn, or maybe Yonatan Kohn, if his great-grandfather had not converted to Catholicism, and assuming his parents would have survived the Holocaust.
Islamic Jihad, usually associated with Gaza and which makes Hamas look like marshmallows, is alive and well in Israel. So is the Shin Bet, which foiled a kidnap plot.
Hamas terrorists blew off the left arm of Captain Ziv Shilon in an October roadside bomb attack at the Gaza border. Shilon now is back in action after “a very long journey.”
A United Nations “fact-finding” human rights commission has come up with a quick and simple answer to the Palestinian Authority’s designation of the “war crime” of 600,000 Jews living in homes on land that never belonged to the PA: Expel them. Concluding that Jews have no rights in Judea and Samaria or half of Jerusalem, […]
The United States on Thursday warned Syria not to try to send missiles to Hizbullah in Lebanon, a day after Israel’s undeclared bombing of a convoy of Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles that could bring down Israeli Air Force jets. Significantly, U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes omitted any mention of Israel, but United Nations Secretary […]
A new study co-sponsored by the Jewish Agency shows that fears of Jewish youth turning against Israel by being exposed to the country are totally wrong and that their experience actually encourages them to volunteer in Israel. “Repair the World” and The Jewish Agency released the conclusions of the study on Thursday and it shows […]
Syrian and its Iranian ally threatened on Thursday to retaliate against Israel for the undeclared bombing of a truck convoy of sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles header from Damascus to the Hizbullah terrorist army in Lebanon. Damascus "has the option and the capacity to surprise in retaliation,” warned Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim Ali. Pro-Syrian parties […]
Israel’s undeclared bombing of anti-aircraft missiles along the Syrian-Lebanese border foiled Hizbullah’s aim at being able to down Israel Air Force jets that destroyed a Syrian nuclear site under construction in 2007. Anonymous Israeli sources have confirmed Wednesday’s strike early morning targeted Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which include sophisticated electronic equipment. Restricting Israel’s ability to […]
Getting old is not so bad after all. An Israeli study says the reward for keeping a low cholesterol diet until age 80 or so is to let it all out and munch away at French fries and high-fat ice cream.
The IDF and secret security personnel have arrested 20 Hamas terrorists in the Hevron area, once again doing the work of the Palestinian Authority, constantly praised by the US for halting terror.
