Vic Rosenthal created FresnoZionism.org to provide a forum for publishing and discussing issues about Israel and the Mideast conflict, especially where there is a local connection. Rosenthal believes that America’s interests are best served by supporting the democratic state of Israel, the front line in the struggle between Western civilization and radical Islam. The viewpoint is not intended to be liberal or conservative — just pro-Israel.

Israel, smaller than New Jersey and with a population of 8 million, is not the address to solve the problems of the continent of Africa’s 1.2 billion people and should not be accepting the migrants
Daniel Pipes said nothing would be better for the Palestinians in the long run than losing hope, because the fundamental cause of the conflict is Palestinian rejectionism
Israel needs a death penalty, or that we should fire a cruise missile at the center of the town that the murderers came from and then build a Jewish town on the ruins.
In order for there to ever be peace between Israel and her neighbors, the Arabs must face reality: that Israel is a legitimate country belonging to a legitimate people, and that the Palestinians are not going to “return” to it, not ever. The charade of the “Palestinian refugee” must end.
The consequences in the region if the Iranian regime were replaced by one prioritizing economic development over foreign adventures would be immense. Israel would be overjoyed if the $ sent to Hezbollah stayed in Iran
Obama’s was the most consistently anti-Israel administration since the founding of the state of Israel, considering the deliberate insults and provocations. It also failed the American public by "permitting" Hezbollah’s narco-terrorism
Do the Palestinians expect that the US will say that all of Jerusalem belongs to them? Clearly not. So why the rage, the riots, the rockets and the terrorism?
Rabbinical students with such an obviously limited understanding of Jewish history, both ancient and recent, who hear the cries of their “Palestinian brothers and sisters” more loudly than those of their Jewish ones who are being stabbed on the street in the Jerusalem that they claim to love so much, should find another line of work than being rabbis.
Trump can’t make Jerusalem our capital – only the people of Israel can do that. But his statement represents a crack in the truly anti-Semitic double standard that has been applied to Israel with respect to Jerusalem since 1948.
I think it’s worth emphasizing the surreal nature of this issue. Israel controls Jerusalem. No other nation has made Jerusalem its capital city since the Jebusites lost it to King David’s army around 1000 BCE.
The New Israel Fund is in effect the military wing of the Reform Movement, using $ instead of rockets as weapons, annually giving millions to groups working to remake the state of Israel in accordance with its vision, and even to some groups whose goal is to destroy it.
Why should Israel be paying-with land and concessions-for things it should be getting as a matter of course?
The truth, that Israel is populated by all kinds of people who are not alienated from their society and not suffering from endemic racism is simply too much for the social-justice-warriors
Jacobs clearly sees himself as the Jewish Martin Luther King Jr., and would like nothing more than to get arrested on behalf of his struggle. But there is almost nothing in common between the civil rights movement of the 1960s and Jacob’s attempts to provoke confrontations at one of Judaism’s holiest sites
To European Jews – and I include the UK – I have a simple message: get out. The natives don’t like you (they never did) and Islamification is exploding. It can’t get better, only worse
Zionism today is the ideology that insists that not only is it just that there is a Jewish state, but that it is essential for the survival of the Jewish people and must be protected
One of the first objectives of warfare in the Middle East – before the physical destruction of an enemy – is the destruction of his honor. A man or nation that can’t keep its possessions loses honor as well.
Israelis couldn’t possibly care less about mixed gender prayer. But for liberal American Jews, it plays the same role as “al-Aqsa is in danger” does for Arabs, inciting fury against Israel and its leadership.
Israel needs to express that it's tired of abuse. Getting a divorce from UNESCO was a good start, now it should tell the hosts of the Judo competition in Abu Dhabi that their singling out Israel is unacceptable.
Israel’s next war, which may be fought on several fronts simultaneously, has the potential to hurt many more civilians than any of her previous wars, both in Israel and among her immediate antagonists,
It will be crucial for Israel to find some form of leverage – something we can offer to Putin or threaten him with – that can be used to drive a wedge between Russia and Iran.
It is not acceptable that there is a culture in which killing Jews is permissible and encouraged. It is our responsibility to our people to put an end to it. To destroy the culture of hate and death.
The pollution of language by advocates for a Palestinian state – i.e., the use of the phrases “State of Palestine” and “Israel-Palestine” to suggest that there already is such a state – must be rejected in the interest of truth.
Assimilation protects the individual against Jew-hatred (sometimes). But it works together with Jew-hatred against the survival of the Jewish people.
Ha’aretz speaks for the small, even tiny, minority of Jewish Israelis that make up the extreme Left. But it has far greater influence than its circulation figures indicate because its stories work their way into talking points in world capitals.
The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), created and primarily funded by the American Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) has proudly announced the establishment of a “Racism Crisis Center” in Israel.
Israelis, according to the 2017 World Happiness Report, are happier than most of the world, coming in 11th out of 155 countries (the US only made 14th place) There is something special here. In my opinion, it is a sense of national purpose
The greatest sin for Ascherman and his ilk is “discrimination” in favor of one’s own people believing they owe no special loyalty to the Jewish people.
Muslims who believe that jihad for the sake of recovering land is praiseworthy--regardless of the means. In other words, the murder of the two policemen is not seen as immoral, but Jewish control of Muslim Palestinians is.
Even the most secular Israelis don’t agree that American Reform Jews should decide what Israel does in the holy places that were regained with the blood of its soldiers. They may passionately hate the Rabbinate, but it is OUR Rabbinate that they hate.
By saying that the demolition policy could also be applied to Jewish terrorists in some cases, Israel's Supreme Court is implying that there is an equivalence between Arab terrorism and certain crimes committed by Jews against Arabs.
In effect, the money given to Gaza was converted into weapons. And that provides a way to solve the problem: we can convert it back.
I felt sorry and sad when I saw the 16-year old Arab girl lying in the road after she was shot. She was someone’s daughter and she could have had a life. She stabbed a soldier getting off a bus at Mevo Dotan in Samaria and tried to stab another. After she was shot, the […]
Minister Miri Regev is the most recent Israeli official (Levi Eshkol, numerous literary figures and government officials since 1948) calling for the return to Israel of the UN site in Jerusalem
The insurmountable obstacle to a deal is that the essence of the Palestinian movement is the denial of a state belonging to the Jewish people in any part of the land between the river and the sea
Israeli aircraft bombed targets in Syria, preventing the transfer of “advanced weapons” from Iran to Hezbollah, Though this was not the first such bombing, this time things were VERY different
A sovereign state decides which non-citizens may cross its borders. Period. There is no internationally recognized human right to enter any country one wishes. Israel can deny the enemy entrance
March 13, 1997 Jordanian Corporal Daqamseh shot and murdered 7 girls, at Island of Peace, Naharayim on the Israel-Jordan border. He was released yesterday and given a 'hero's welcome' home
With the 2016 presidential campaign, it seems as though there has been an explosion of Jew-hatred. Is this true? Who is responsible?
The fundamental issue and biggest problem is that the Israeli government tacitly accepts the idea that Judea and Samaria are occupied territories – in other words, land that belongs to somebody else
Many Women of the Wall members applauded the passage of UNSC resolution 2334 demanding Israel return to pre-67 borders. WoW has no problem with the Kotel in Arab hands, just no separate prayers!
A great, quick overview of the Jewish legal claim to Israel.
Hezbollah's stated goals since its founding in 1985 were the elimination of Western influence, the assertion of Islamic (Shiite) dominance over Lebanon and the destruction of Israel. Nothing's changed
The Left, having been emasculated at the ballot box, now uses the Court to achieve its aims and it is attempting to do so again with the appointment of Rabbi Karim to the post of IDF Chief Rabbi
Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for millennia, whether we controlled it or not. Trump has a chance to recognize it as Israel's capital and end the hypocrisy of 3 administrations
The funeral should have been held on the day Peres died, as is customary in Judaism. Then it would have been impossible for most of these political celebrities to be here.
A major reason for Israel's indecisiveness is the increasing influence and control over Israeli decision-making by the US – whose government, at the same time, has become less and less supportive.
Peres has always been a Zionist and does not believe that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Jewishness of the state and democracy, nor that one should be sacrificed for the other
If America goes down, so does that thing called Western civilization. Unfortunately, the American political system has failed: there is no great leader anywhere near the horizon.
The European-supported Left in Israel works to encourage Israelis to feel guilty toward Palestinians, and to make Palestinians more angry at the Jews.
Virtually all Palestinians believe a false narrative designed to combine with the features of the Arab and Muslim culture in such a way as to create endless, insoluble conflict with the Jewish state.
Trump's chance came from a combination of circumstances: The economic slaughter of America's working class and Obama's contempt for this group. PC mania, and a grossly dishonest/disliked Dem candidate
Obama is easily “infuriated” by Israel but the problem in the US-Israel relationship is America has trouble treating Israel as a sovereign nation.
Israel is doing better than ever but the relative stability of the post-WWII period – or even of the longer Western ascendance over the Ottoman empire – may be coming to an end
It is not a human right in the West to espouse, as does Islam, an ideology that embraces conquest and destruction of Western civilization. Islam is not merely a religion, it is an ideology.
The ‘Palestinians’ have contributed nothing to the world except violent terrorism since they invented themselves in order to oppose Jewish sovereignty some 60 years ago.
The best thing that pro-Israel American Jews can do is to exemplify Jewish pride, self-respect and self-reliance. They should act like Jews, descendants of the people from ancient Judea.
Israelis don’t see the point of Reform Judaism, maybe because living in Israel provides the sense of Jewish community that many American Jews seek from their congregations
In Israel, unabashed Zionists are considered at naïve and often extremists. while many among the small % of Israelis who are extremely, even pathologically, critical of the state, sit in key positions
‘Israel is the Jewish state’ has a concrete meaning: the owners of the land of Israel are the Jewish people, not all its citizens.
Recently, an entire ideology has developed based on bad analogies-intersectionality. It is the theory that forms of oppression and discrimination interrelate, creating a system of oppression.
There are no screaming sirens. Hezbollah isn’t bombarding us with a myriad of missiles, and Hamas tunnels aren’t disgorging terrorists near kibbutz dining halls. Nevertheless we are at war.
After Erin Schrode’s, a Jewish woman running for Congress in California, personal information was posted on a neo-Nazi website, she received messages of anti-Jewish abuse, death and rape threats.
Israel’s situation is as follows: We aren’t afraid of our enemies, but we hold back because we are afraid of our allies-we don’t want to make them mad.
Kissinger’s almost anti-Semitic claim that US support for Israel is bought with Jewish money was probably untrue in 1975 and is even less so today,
Now Israel seems poised to repeat the mistake of Oslo, as the IDF prepares to concede security control of Area A to the PA
Isn't it remarkable how the entire world can cooperate against Zionism, when it can't cooperate on almost anything else?!
The problem is we are at a point when the moral principles guiding our behavior conflict with the reality of survival in our the geopolitical environment
EU Foreign Minister Mogherini cried when learning of the terror attacks in Belgium yet consorts with terrorists
Reform Movement has demonstrated its willingness to disregard Israeli concerns to serve its own goals
As an American-Israeli, I'm struck by how little Jews understand the other’s cultures and concerns
It’s only reasonable that citizens shouldn’t pay for art promoting the destruction of their society
Why are there so few Bassem Eids in the world and so many "Emilys" (anti-Israel Jews) in US & world?
Israel seems to be depending on "MAD" for now against Iran/Hezbollah and hoping for a future change
Left-wing Meretz party member described actions of the Arab MKs as “provocation, malice & stupidity”
The advice Hillary Clinton received from her advisers regarding Israel is overwhelmingly anti-Israel
Why it is that so many artists and writers, especially in Israel, espouse left-wing causes?
Arab leaders know their power is based on stoking their population’s fierce hatred of Israeli Jews

Fatah, founded by Arafat & now led by Abbas, brought us the Munich massacre and other bloody murders
Evangelical Christians have more courage than Reform Jews to support the survival of a Jewish state
US Jews prefer to be like their non-Jewish liberal friends complaining about "settlements" and Bibi
Now that Shaked is about to take an important post, slanderous rumors are making the rounds--again.
Oh, to be a fly-on-the-wall in the White House...
No more ‘peace process’ envisioning sovereign ‘Palestine’ in YESHA; Arabs can call today “Nakba 2.0″
The extreme hypocrisy, contempt & vulgarity of the attacks indicate more than a policy disagreement
Expecting the IDF to mount a ground attack against Hamas in Gaza? There may be a better approach...
It looks from here like a really bad weekend in Israel. Some 40-odd rockets were fired from Gaza at southern Israel within 48 hours, as far as Beersheva. Arabs rioted throughout the country, throwing rocks and firebombs at any available Jewish target. They systematically destroyed the light rail tracks, stations and equipment in Arab neighborhoods […]
The problem is a culture whose essence is to negate ours.
The teenagers in the video, then, were either injured non-seriously by rubber bullets, or faking for the camera.
The liberal wing of the Jewish establishment in the US is following the same path as it did in the 1940s.
When will the State of Israel decide the Palestinian Arabs are a hostile enemy and treat them as such?
The fact that she chooses a boycott of Israeli universities as an example of a just limitation of academic freedom is a perfect example of the defect in her approach.
Israel is an independent sovereign state, and it should not be treated as a banana republic.
The survival of the state requires control of Judea/Samaria and a primarily Jewish population without hostile elements.
Unfortunately, some people are still in the dark about the significance of this, and similar acts.
This is not a post that I wanted to write, though I knew it was coming.
The U.S. government is tacitly agreeing that the historical truth about the Jews and Israel is inimical to “peace.”
