It seems like Hezbollah isn't keen on being involved and is waiting to see what the Lebanese government decides to do.

Why do so many Jews barely notice Shavuot? What does this say about us as a people? What does this say about our future? Could we be ignoring this holiday because of what it teaches us?!
You called Israel an oppressor carrying out collective punishment against the Palestinian Arabs. If I were to provide you with information that questioned the veracity of these accusations, would you be open to listening?
The most sacred place for the Jewish people isn’t Jerusalem or the Western Wall, it’s the Temple Mount.
I can live to be 1,000 and will never understand how Memorial Day is commemorated in the USA.

Like the Mufti, Ahlam Tamimi is popular in the Arab world. The US wants to maintain friendly relations with Jordan. Instead of acting like a superpower, giving a message to the world that the US will pursue justice, the Biden administration is continuing the policy of sending hundreds of millions of dollars annually to Jordan to prop up its "moderate" king.

This means that, based on a case from 1978 that seems to be unavailable for public scrutiny, the leftwing anti-Israel activists can claim that the land on which Chomesh was established is privately owned Arab land.
I welcome the idea that Israel will be able to help the Europeans in their time of need... So I have prepared a draft of a letter that our government COULD send to the EU in order to get the ball rolling.
AIPAC’s new strategy is a seismic change for an organization that has followed the same playbook for more than fifty years.

There is a darkness and a sickness and an evil in ‘palestinian’ society that will see this and has seen this as a ‘victory’ to be celebrated. They will celebrate the fact that there are 16 children without a father anymore, and they will rejoice that there are three widows

The Jews accepted the Partition Plan whereas the Arabs rejected it. In other words, the Jews chose compromise, and the Arabs gambled on war-and lost.

Every year I am concerned that I will not be able to make the transition between the memories and pain of Memorial Day to the celebration of Israel’s Independence.
It is heartbreaking that a Jewish woman, smart enough to gain admission and rise to a leadership position at Harvard wouldn’t recognize that BDS will never lead to Palestinian advancement or peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
I don't want to go to a memorial service, I can't stand military funerals and I can't forget. I hate this! Too many thoughts...

In other words, mere Jewish presence on the holiest Jewish site constitutes “defiling” in the eyes of even Israel’s Arab peace partners, and violent opposition to that presence is seen as virtue.

Living elsewhere, the news of horror is theoretical. In Israel, the news is a visceral punch in the gut
A better question might be why is a country whose people were responsible for much of the killing of Jews at Babi Yar is shamelessly appropriating the Holocaust for its propaganda.
What the US gets out of an agreement with Iran is not certain. Biden can declare “peace in our time” while waving the new, even worse, version of Obama’s JCPOA. But I think that the main motivation is to continue a policy, going back to the 1970s, to reverse the outcome of the 1967 war.
Close to ten progressive members were elected to Congress, and they were led by just a few members who called themselves “the Squad.” By their own admission, these members had little to no expertise in foreign affairs issues.

An idiot claims he knows THE reason Israelis are happy and Palestinians are not: The Jews are STEALING Palestinian happiness!
Israel is no. 100 on the list of countries by population. Following it are Switzerland, Togo, Sierra Leone, Hong Kong, and Laos. I haven’t noticed pressure on these countries to take tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.

Apparently, half a million residents of Judea-Samaria do not constitute sufficient electoral power to induce the Transportation Minister (other than Smotrich and Regev in their short terms) to stop the discrimination against them.
Gazans were told they would receive 310 shekels, but at the current exchange rate, $100 is worth more than that. Where's the extra money going?
It’s clear that we are back in Obamastan now, where the aspirations of the Palestinians have equal or greater weight than the security of the Jewish state; and where Israel must pay the price for the failures of the Arab leadership.
Zelenskyy used the memory of the Holocaust and its victims... But, his remarks have already made headlines in both international and Arab media, and you can't take it back.

All this, not for a rock star, politician, or even a charismatic influencer. Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was a vessel of Jewish knowledge, an example of Jewish scholarliness, of putting learning, wisdom, and faith above all worldly comforts.
“G-d spoke to Joshua saying…Prepare for yourselves the cities of refuge, about which I spoke to you through Moses, where a killer may flee – one who kills a person through carelessness, unintentionally…They designated Kedesh in the Galilee in the mountains of Naphtali (Joshua 20: 1-7)”

The Biden Admin. is Obama’s third term. Its foreign policy team, and especially those responsible for negotiations with Iran, are made up almost entirely of former Obama Administration people. Although I can’t prove it, I believe that Obama, Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, and others are pulling the strings.
Today, we will visit an important example of a site mentioned in Tanach (Bible), where G-d saved the Jewish people through an open miracle.

There are many voices, particularly those backed by progressive Jewish, American-based organizations declaring that Israel needs to stand on the side of morality and help ALL Ukrainian refugees, without inquiring if they are Jewish or have any connection to Israel. I say, "No. Just no."

Most Israelis are familiar with the Hilltop Youth only through the mainstream media that stigmatizes them and that negative picture is stuck in their minds. Viewed as violent unruly young people, they are accused of regularly harassing Arabs just going about their daily lives, yet the opposite is closer to the truth, unless one considers that the mere presence of Jews in Judea-Samaria is harassment enough.
The ordinary Israeli sees Reform Judaism for what it is, a politically left-leaning, spiritually vacuous, non-Jewish religion. But it is the 800-pound gorilla of the non-Orthodox world, with money, clout, and people that it uses to project its influence here in Israel, where, in my opinion, it does not belong.

This morning’s paper discusses the plans being made for the possible aliya of the roughly 250,000 Ukrainians who are eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return. Several government ministries and the army are making preparations to bring them to Israel, provide identity documents, places of temporary residence, and financial aid for them, if […]
As much as the Arab and charedi sectors must begin participating in Israeli national life, the rest of Israeli society must incorporate Arabs and charedim into Israeli society.

The war against the Jewish State began militarily at Israel’s inception, as the armies of five Arab nations invaded Israel in 1948 in a war to annihilate it. In June 1967, the Arab world attempted the same but failed spectacularly. Since that time, the armed conflict by Muslim countries has continued with more modest ambitions, as the […]
I see Ben Gvir as no-nonsense, and tough-talking. He is committed to protecting Jewish rights in the land at a time when many play fast and loose with those rights.
I want to be more specific about the meaning of Zionism today: I say it is the belief that the State of Israel is the state of and for the Jewish people, and not a “state of its citizens.”
Tel el Ful, rarely sees visitors but this unique treasure is our next stop.
What’s happening to the ADL is what has happened to countless Jewish, Christian and non-sectarian organizations that were once liberal and are now just leftist fronts. What the Soviet Union failed to accomplish in its infiltrations, two generations of activists backed by powerful and wealthy men have done by turning every liberal group into the same front.
