Civil rights isn’t just regulating what you do, but how you think.
By Paul Gherkin
Palestinians are spending considerable energy to reeducate the world on manufactured “facts” rather than acknowledging the basic history, dignity and rights of Jews. Sadly, universities are listening.
By JoeSettler
Assaf A. Voll has written one of the most comprehensive books on the history of the Palestinian People.
As he put it, “Take away the Torah, and what will be left of us? A small, and unimportant people with a sub-American culture. We are on the stage of history only thanks to the Torah, the Mishnah, the Talmud - the great contribution of the Jewish people. Not only religiously but also nationally. This is the core of our identity.
The only people who think a potential Palestinian state will be confined to the West Bank are Americans who aren’t familiar with actual Palestinians.
It’s difficult to place any kind of silver lining on this event. People are still suffering...There is no sliver lining for them. But I believe that a Kiddush HaShem should be made public. There are two of them I’d like to highlight.
In other words, Iran will be able to get the bomb with very little lead time for Israel to act, and the US will be obligated to prevent Israel from acting against Iran.
Imagine an Israel without its Zionist purpose (and very quickly, without its Jewish majority). How long would it survive? Why would anyone want to fight for it? Would Jews and Arabs make common cause in support of a liberal, democratic state?
I see no difference between Hitler and Raisi. Other than the fact that Raisi sees eradicating Israel a religious obligation. Even if means mass murdering Jews. In my view this makes him more dangerous that Hitler
Did anyone change their daily routine or – just like the ‘ol Pharaoh - are we still the same ‘ol Yossi, Rivka, Sarah and Chaim?
The conclusion is obvious: who says they don't want to have anything to do with their Jewish neighbors? They definitely want our patronage.
What made Briana Sykes open fire on a police officer? The answer is right in front of us.
It’s great to have great teammates. Back on the basketball court during my youth, I was lucky to play alongside shorter, quicker guys who could shoot the ball and taller, stronger guys who could rebound and play defense. My job—as someone who was neither fast nor tough—was to be the klutz who ensured that we never […]
Plague after plague… but this time it wasn’t sent to Pharaoh, it was sent to us.
Many right-wing Israelis are furious at Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for joining a coalition that contains left-wing parties opposed to settling Judea and Samaria.
Has Jew hatred morphed into insanity /mass hysteria? What ties people of all races, colors, creeds and sexual orientation? You know the answer...JEW HATRED
There was a time when the humiliation of an Israeli soldier was not something that would dare enter the mind of our enemies.
The ONLY inquiry Palestinians are demanding is why the PA almost bought vaccines that they claim were of "inferior" quality. The PA, naturally, has to defend its "honor" by canceling the deal.
Critical race theory is only a theory to white people. To everyone else, it’s tribal hatred.
One thing is absolutely clear: putting an Arab party in the coalition brings the question of the relationship of the Jewish state to its Muslim Arab citizens front and center in a way that it heretofore hasn’t been.
The accusations against Israel can be divided into two categories. First, the Jews stole Palestinian land. ... The second category of accusations against Israel is that Israel mistreats Palestinians.
There are others on Biden’s foreign policy team that also hostile to Israel.
I would guess that you wouldn’t have thought that I would write such an article, but I did…
A small group, they don't have national aspirations and are happy to serve the country they happen to live in. In Israel they serve with distinction in the Israeli army
Don't let anyone tell you differently: money is a key enabler in the Palestinian Arab descent into the horrors exemplified by what Abbas. Ghannam and the now-deceased knifer Halabi did.
By Batya Medad
I've shocked many friends, real life friends and facebook acquaintances/followers with my enthusiastic support of this proposed unity government.
So yes. Is the Rikudgalim ostentatious, a show? Yes, it’s a display, for crying out loud. And displays are in your face. And in OURS.
If you look at the ideologies of the various parties that ran in the recent election, it is clear that the great majority of Israelis prefer a right-wing government. If it were not for the question of Netanyahu, we would have a solid right-wing coalition of 70 to 80 mandates. Instead, we are getting a “unity” government that includes Meretz and Ra’am.
Many of the media advocacy campaigns waged on Israel’s behalf during the latest Hamas rocket attacks didn’t recognize the pitfalls of playing victim.
The recent explosion of Jew-hatred and misoziony in America, which has encompassed street thugs, pro-Palestinian demonstrators, college students, and now corporate executives, is unprecedented.
Palestinian shame-based culture holds that it is more honorable for the residents to be homeless than to admit that Jews own the homes.
By Jeff Dunetz
We remember the D-Day invasion more than three-quarters of a century ago and thank those heroes who saved the world from tyranny,
Jackie Mason made a joke recently that there are 3 things we can always count on: Death, Taxes and Anti-Semitism...
What about religious issues? Clearly some of their coalition partners are not too thrilled about religion playing any part in government decisions. They see Charedim as an impediment to that.
Do we, as Israelis, want to tie our survival to the USA? Or any other great power, like China for example? I don’t think so.
If there are symptoms of antisemitism, it's impossible that it's isolated; the community must also possess the hate to some extent.
By JoeSettler
Like Ariel Sharon, Naftali Bennett lied and cheated his voters, but technically, what he did didn't break the rules of Israeli democracy.
Americans who wondered how this could happen in Europe are now seeing it at home.
For the Jew-hater, everything bad, personal and political, can be explained with reference to the Jews. Facts and logical reasoning are irrelevant; indeed, the more unbelievable antisemitic beliefs may appear, the more this confirms their truth in the mind of the believer.
Following HRW expansion of the term’s application, things that are Apartheid now include lawn maintenance and jelly-filled donuts.
oThe NYT published another anti-Israel op-ed that justifies the recent pogroms against Jews by Israeli Arabs as a natural reaction to being second-class citizens,
By Paul Gherkin
47 Israelis were killed by Arab terrorists during Trump’s term, the lowest tally in any four year span going back decades. Enter President Joe Biden in 2021, and...
I know I will probably be processing this experience for a while to come, but one lesson that is already apparent to me is that Israelis are amazingly tough and resilient people.
Long ago, I became a believer in the "You can't fix stupid" movement. Intelligence is not something that you can control. It is an innate part of your being. Stupidity, however, can be cured by education. So, what it comes down to is accepting that some people don't want to be educated. Some refuse to see Israel as it really is.
The attackers find strength in numbers, they see that they have the Left on their side, they are riled up by thousands of lies about Israel by speaker after speaker and tweet after tweet
Yair Lapid has only one week left to put together a governing coalition. He spent this week inking deals with parties that everyone already knew were with him.
Awawdeh said after posting bail that he does not regret attacking a defenseless Jew and would happily do it again.
He met his end in a tunnel that IAF jets pounded with bombs the Thursday night before last, along with six other Palestinian toddlers in their twenties
Do we, as Israelis, want to tie our survival to the USA? Or any other great power, like China for example? I don’t think so.
The Biden administration is going back to the same old policies of propping up the terrorists. And the first thing you need to do when propping up the terrorists is giving them some leverage. The leverage of terrorists is terrorism.
By Fred Maroun
Just like those who did not stand with Israel in previous Israel-Gaza wars, those who did not stand with Israel this time will have blood on their hands.
By Forest Rain
HOME is the place where your FAMILY is. That’s why, in Israel, family extends beyond the walls of our private homes to include strangers – they are just family members we haven’t met yet.
By JoeSettler
Didn't Progressive Jews explain often enough that it's OK to hate Israel, and that doesn't make one an anti-Semite?
While we were cleared to leave the mamad 10 minutes after the siren ended, we continued to sit there long after, trying to process what had just occurred.
A few days into the conflict, it was announced that Naftali Bennett was no longer willing to join a coalition with the left-wing and Arab parties.
I see the continued existence of a Jewish state of Israel as a fundamental imperative. But if coexistence is impossible, and if divesting of the territories containing most of the Arabs is also impossible, what is the alternative?
"All the unrest you have experienced this week is merely anti-Zionist, and you may therefore unburden yourselves of the anxiety over antisemitism.”
It seems that we always act the same: retaliate in a measured way, being very careful to keep civilian damage to a minimum, after which we are pilloried by the UN, the EU, and the “human rights” NGOs, regardless of that fact. We don’t destroy Hamas, we simply “mow the grass” every few years. We keep supplying Gaza with water and electricity...Is this the best our government can do, we ask?
Ari talks about the holidays of Shavuot and Yom Kippur, the Shofar that connects the two holidays, and the indigenous people of the Land of Israel.
In the past one hundred years, nothing has changed except for the defendant.
Israel hasn't figured out how to resolve the problem. But neither has anyone else in the world.
By Forest Rain
Children’s thoughts about colors should not be dictated by a terrorist organization. Children should be free to play outside, free to walk from their home to visit a friend, without having to worry about where the closest bomb shelter is.
A man says he is a woman or a woman says she is a man and we are off and running to assist them in their hormone therapy and body mutilation. Does this make sense to you? Scientific sense?
Hebron Day was celebrated in the City of Abraham with festivities and a special conference.
Israeli Arabs continue to riot and attack Jews and Jewish religious buildings throughout the country. The police refuse to deal with it in any meaningful way.
By Jeff Dunetz
Thanks to Moshe Dayan, the most sacred site in all of Judaism is off-limits.
Once again, yet again, it is time to make it very clear to our enemies that the choice is theirs. They can live with us in peace, or they will know no peace.
There is absolutely no reason to think that the lands that Arabs now claim ownership for in Sheikh Jarrah were originally owned by Arabs
By Forest Rain
Today Israel is a land of freedom for all – unless you are Jewish. On the Temple Mount, the holiest place in the world for the Jewish people, Jews are not allowed to pray.
Is it the end of the Gates Foundation and its tyranny?
Israel is not a large country and it can’t afford have several autonomous enclaves that don’t consider themselves part of the state. The lack of respect for the laws made by the national government is corrosive
By Batya Medad
That nasty term hides/denies how most Jewish immigrants struggled in their early decades in America.
By Jeff Dunetz
ANY Muslim, Christian, or Jew who denies that Jerusalem belongs to the Jewish people is denying the scripture of their own faith.
The security forces are baffled… he doesn’t fit the perfect description!
I don’t know anyone who speaks of making Aliyah out of guilt and shame. Why would anyone want to move to a place where the people are judgmental and obnoxious?
We have mentioned the overall incompetence of the Israeli police numerous times in the past, but this is a pretty egregious example.
Margon’s mantra for human rights is cheering the destruction of Israel.
Biden's White House embraces the 20th anniversary of the infamous and antisemitic UN Durban conference. Not even Obama supported this farce. Pres. Obama with Biden as his VP boycotted the 10th conference
Governor Andrew Cuomo is many things: a mass murderer, a sexual predator, and a sore loser.
So I am not against having this event every Lag B’Omer. I am only against having crowds of this magnitude there. The chances of a tragedy like this happening again can be avoided or at least minimized.
What does it feel like to be targeted, to live with sirens and explosions, ruined homes and death?
The type of things that one thinks about as a religious Jew in a shtetl or a small community are not the type of things that one has to think about as part of an entire country.
None of the characteristics of South African apartheid can reasonably be applied to Israel. Everyone who knows anything about apartheid South Africa and Israel knows that. There is simply no resemblance
Since the Jews were in Egypt, there has been Jew-hatred. The entire time, the Jew-haters justified their hate with reasons that sounded reasonable to that generation. Pharaoh said Jews would be a fifth column. Haman said Jews didn't respect the King's laws. Antiochus said the Jews refused to assimilate. Christians said Jews killed their god. […]
“Let me say it again: JEWS. PRAYING. You can just feel the existential threat.”
By JoeSettler
Netanyahu's actions yesterday were important messages to a whole slew of people. Were they smart enough to understand them?
It Is the only Antidote to Anti-Zionism.
Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu suffered what seemed like a severe political setback. The parties seeking to replace him, with the support of the Arab Ra'am party, formed a majority on a strategic Knesset committee.
Israel needed to act swiftly and forcefully as soon as the trouble started because the Arab world was watching… and we failed that test.
Better to bake him a casserole
There is a growing problem in Israel and especially in Jerusalem lately: Arabs are increasing a spiral of attacks on people identified as religious Jews.
By Paul Gherkin
The facts that Palestinians are the most anti-Semitic group in the world, voted a Holocaust denier to the presidency and a terrorist group with a charter which reads like a combination of Hitler’s Mein Kampf and the forgery Protocols of the Elders of Zion to 58% of its parliament, never make it into the pages of the anti-Zionist Gray Lady.
By Jeff Dunetz
Study Shows Young White Liberals Are More Likely To Suffer From Mental Health Issues
Why are there so many Jewish anti-Zionists? Why do so many Jews take the side of their enemies,?
