Shabbat in Amona? Beyond your dreams! You can see Jordan, the Dead Sea and villages. Early morning, the Arab call to prayer, a church bell, flocks of sheep. No machinery sounds, few cars-- peace

Carter’s adoration of Hamas, underlines his insanity. He imagines and hopes for a world that doesn’t exist, and makes suggestions that are dangerous for civil society.

John Kerry's rant at the Saban Forum was fascinating in that it illuminated everything that is wrong with the supporters of the two-state solution peace process.

Trump has described Mattis as “a true general’s general” and “the closest thing we have to Gen. George Patton.”
By Batya Medad
As we watch Netanyahu buckle under the power of the Israeli Left which controls the media and the Supreme Court, it seems obvious that those who predicted Leftist policies from the Likud were correct.
By Fred Maroun
Whatever the future holds, whether it is two states, three states, a single state, or a confederation of states, the futures of Israelis and Palestinians will be associated and interdependent
Many Americans did not really know the actual reason why Ohio State University Jihad attack happenned because they simply don't care about Islamic theological violence against their fellow Americans.

A guy in the makolet shouts, “But I must go to the front of the line!” He is holding a box of toothbrushes and a lot of toothpaste. WHY?
Sec'y of Defense nominee Marine Gen. James Mattis' nickname ‘Mad Dog’ is well earned. He once made the following statement: “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”
"Lawfare" at its finest: The Palestinian Authority intends to sue the British government because of the Balfour Declaration
For everyone who doubted whether or not making aliyah it was worth it, know that there is nothing to inspire personal growth like waking up each morning as a Jew in the Land of The Jewish People.
Trump's appointments could put an entirely new, PRO-Israel spin on how the US sees a final solution between Israel and the Arabs. So, give him a chance.
By Jeff Dunetz
The ADL is nothing but a tool for the progressive movement. If you wish to donate to the progressive movement that’s OK, but if you want to donate to a Jewish Organization I suggest you avoid the ADL
By Paul Gherkin
At the UN, the “Question of Palestine” ceased to be a territorial dispute, and became an ethical question for the United Nations: should the global body have created and voted for the Jewish State?
By Paula Stern
How can you possibly understand the horror of watching your land burn? It is an open wound you don't forget for a moment, a thought that stays in your mind as you go about your day.
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
By Batya Medad
How can the Muslims destroy the flora, fauna and homes here in the Holy Land, a land they "claim" as home? They celebrate terror and murder, and this is just another terrorist tool for them.
By Paula Stern
I'll give up the fires, the stoning attacks and more...thank you for visiting my site, really but I don't need 10,000 people a day to come here...my country needs peace. We need the fires to end.
The fires and the price paid by Israeli society are very much in the news here. Much less reported are the very widespread sounds of celebration from right across the Arab world.
By Jeff Dunetz
Castro was no statesman he was a murderous dirtbag. He was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Cubans and trained terrorists from other countries to go home and killed others.
By JoeSettler
The Prime Minister used the Supertanker to wash his cars.... This is satire people... satire.
The false and exaggerated claims toward Trump, however, are not intended to create insight, bu to spread fear of the individual and loathing toward Americans who voted for him.
By Paula Stern
Trump's mandate for the next four years should also mean a renewed examination into the behavior and actions of the media. The camera was always meant to share the picture, not create it.
Do you know why the world is silent? Because no one cares!
Our heroes will fight to stop the fires and they'll take the time to rescue the Torah scrolls that contain our faith, our dedication, the promise God made to us to give us this land.
By Jeff Dunetz
Ellison convinced 53 other Democratic members of congress to sign the infamous “Gaza 54” which falsely accused Israel of humiliating and wreaking “collective punishment” on Gaza
By Paula Stern
Finally, a story that won't "DRIVE" you crazy and which has a happy ending...
Could anyone have ever imagined that the daughter of a President would be an observant Jew? And that she and her observant Jewish husband would the President’s most trusted advisers?
Democrats not only got trounced but are screaming from the rafters about racism and white supremacy. They even have the chutzpah to whine about alleged anti-Semitism of conservatives and Republicans.
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
By Batya Medad
Some Leftist group thought up a plan to teach photography to the women of Gush Etzion, Jews and Arabs. If anyone publicizes photos of the Arabs, there will be big trouble for those Arab women
I want to start a new movement. It’s called control-alt-delete…who’s in? It started as a joke but momentum is growing. Are you in?
Pundits, who with bias and hubris appoint themselves the world's arbiters probably have little real knowledge-at best-about the reality in the Middle East in general or Israel in particular

A musical tribute to the internationally famed Jewish troubador, Shlomo Carlebach by famed Jerusalem troubador words and music by Ben Reuven
By Jeff Dunetz
I couldn’t find a Jew that knows Steve Bannon who believes he is an anti-Semite and there are NO anti-Semitic incidents that could be found,
With Trump's election, Americans will inevitably view the Middle East , and specifically Israel, differently because no one that shares Obama's worldview will remain in the White House.
Mr. President, you were elected legitimately and democratically and though I was deeply offended and alarmed by your rhetoric, I respect and therefore, as an American citizen, you are now my President
By Batya Medad
When you look at this map, and you see the paltry amount of states that gave Hillary Clinton the majority or plurality of its votes, Trump's victory is much more convincing.
By Paul Gherkin
Days after the election, Clinton supporters took the streets and – despite the obvious facts – declared that the democratically elected Trump was not their president.
By Jeff Dunetz
With gratitude and thanks to all those who served in the United States Military.
On Shabbat when they learned I just made aliya, I was given the third Aliyah, then the shul sang "V'Shavu Vanim" It was unexpected and extremely moving, validating the years of planning and hard work
What is undeniable is that Trump's campaign was genius, and the genius was his, not his advisers or handlers. The question is, what will he actually do as President?
By Paul Gherkin
The United States has a long history of terrible voter turnout. It is not that people are apathetic about the outcomes of elections; they just realize that their votes do not matter.
It was the press along with the Clinton camp that gave Donald Trump this election.
By Batya Medad
Between Hillary and Trump. It was more like a fight between two drunks by a bar's backdoor. And even worse has been the hatred between many supporters of both of them.
By David Mark
Despite all, the ideals of the Founding Fathers and a moral electorate live on in those individuals seeking to strive for a better world through personal freedom based on biblical roots.
Nevertheless, even as late as Election Day itself, I wish to address those conservatives and Republicans who have declared themselves Never-Trumpers.
By Paul Gherkin
As Clinton and Obama trash “deplorable” Trump supporters, they should consider their own tainted houses, in which some of the world's worst deplorables gave them direct financial/political support
By JoeSettler
It was probably also on an Election Day in Ur Kasdim, when God told Abraham, "Lech Lecha".
After years of ranting about nonexistent threats to democracy like the Shaked proposal, the Israeli Left has destroyed their credibility.
By Jeff Dunetz
It took the FBI almost a year to go through the first 55,000 pages of emails. But by some miracle the FBI went through 650,000 emails in NINE DAYS. Holy cow are they good!
By Batya Medad
Israel's Supreme Court is a Leftist bastion that easily preserves its ideological purity. Breaking that monopoly is the aim of Minister of Justice Ayelet Shaked
By Paul Gherkin
Liberals paint all white men in a monolithic camp, even though they are actually the only demographic that doesn’t have a knee-jerk reaction to vote in a simplified and unified manner.
The world's most important media platforms burnish Erekat's standing, providing him with a world-class megaphone for views that it's generous to called bigoted and loathsome.
It is not merely that today's university infantalizes students, but that the students infantalize themselves when they go into "safe" rooms, sometimes containing coloring books and stuffed animals.
By Jeff Dunetz
The number of total immigrants-both legal and illegal-entering the US is skyrocketing. Since the mid-60s, Congress has raised the annual level of legal immigration between 500-800%
By Batya Medad
Neither of the candidates have displayed the talents, personality and character that the USA needs in their president right now.
By Batya Medad
The decision on Amona should not be in the hands of the Leftist ideology-driven judges of Israel's Supreme Court. The Government and Knesset are supposed to make the laws, not the Judicial branch.
By Jeff Dunetz
Apparently the illegals trespassers believe that Hillary Clinton is going to win the election and they want to make sure they are in the U.S. early enough to be granted amnesty by Clinton.
By Jeff Dunetz
Not all the 650K emails are relevant but agents believe tens of thousands of them are relevant. So many were relevant that Comey could not help but reopen the investigation.
UNESCO reminds us once again – as if we needed reminding – that the UN is hugely populated with four types of nations: the brainless scare-crow, the heartless tin-man, the cowardly lion and Dorothy.
By Batya Medad
Hillary's supporters find Trump despicable; Trump's supporters consider Hillary a criminal. Whoever wins will have an awfully hard time governing and making Americans feel like one country.
A Gadol B'Yisroel must be publicly accepted as a rabbinic leader, someone the Torah world turns to with confidence knowing he is God fearing and his views on Halacha and Hashkafa are authoritative
By Jeff Dunetz
FBI Director Comey would not reopen the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton and do it so publicly, unless he thought it was significant
By Paul Gherkin
According to the NY Times, Jews simply left the MENA. Nowhere in the article does it mention Mizrachi Jews suffered persecution by the Muslim nations, only by elitist Ashkenazi Jews from Israel.
By Jeff Dunetz
This is how Team Clinton “celebrated” Netanyahu's surprise reelection the day after his victory: “Israel is depressing. It’s a good lesson that the wing nuts are just ruthless in every country”
The Hebrew Bible (Tanach) mentions Jerusalem more than 660 times. The Qur'an – zero (0). That is a VERY lopsided boxscore.
Are the minds and hearts of families irretrievably damaged by terror filled with thoughts of vengeance, of bloodshed and of evening the score? Apparently NOT.
By Jeff Dunetz
In the Huffington Post Monday, Peter Dreier made a false claim that Donald Trump is a serial anti-Semite. Sadly, Dreier wouldn’t know Antisemitism if it jumped up and bit him.
No one imagined a world where both Russia and China would reemerge as serious challengers to the West’s financial and geopolitical control, yet this is precisely what has happened.
The lack of mentioning any Jewish (or Christian) connection to the Temple Mount, and the refusal to use any other name but the Muslim names for the site, are clearly deliberate.
By Paul Gherkin
Remarkably hypocritical for liberal groups to fight foreign governments from publicizing emails that Dems actually wrote, while supporting their efforts to ACTIVELY operate inside Israel anonymously.
As the leader of the world's Catholics, I implore you to make a public statement condemning the UNESCO vote denying the historical connection between the Temple Mount, the Western Wall and Judaism
This is the man we should support. Mark Kirk is a Republican that must remain in congress. He is a good man and deserves to be re-elected.
By Batya Medad
Regardless of what your succah is made of, have a wonderful and joyful Succot!
I am applauding because this UN organization has finally unmasked its real intent.
By Paula Stern
Israel has become the greatest of Sukkahs for the Jewish people - it is truly here that we are safe in a way we do not feel anywhere else in the world.
The Jewish Press Online welcomes columnist Jacob Freedman, M.D., and his family to Israel and wish them a safe and "uneventful" aliya.
By Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman
Walking the walk led to talking the talk
By Paul Gherkin
It is well past time to boycott Al Jazeera and its social media site AJ+. Distorting history is just part of the problem. Incitement must have consequences.
By Jeff Dunetz
Sukkot has a lot of great meanings, perhaps the best one for today’s world is the fact that it is the Holiday when we pray for the rest of the world. And whatever your religion or political affiliation, I am sure that you will agree that the world needs it!
By Paula Stern
What bothers me most at this point, is two things. The first is that America is being manipulated. The second is that, in part, it is crossing red lines to do this.
By Jeff Dunetz
Trump faced greater pressure going into the debate than any candidate in presidential debate history. He not only handled the pressure, but was exceptional and won the second debate by a knockout.
The indignant reaction of Obama, the Democratic Party, and the western-left to Jews daring to build housing in YESHA is medieval. Then, as now, authorities believed Jews must comply to their demands
By Paula Stern
"Where are you?" he asks. "I'm in the office. The car is at Ammunition Hill. Do you need to take it?" There was a brief hesitation. "There was an attack at Ammunition Hill."
By Batya Medad
"Strategic Advantage" does not give Israel the ability to fight our enemies into submission. We can only "slap it" and if we need more weapons, it is only with American approval/permission.
By Jeff Dunetz
The ECRI recommended to the British government that it start “training” the British media NOT to report the Muslim background of terrorists. The request was rejected.
By Paula Stern
In my little country today, we were hit by a missile. The siren sounded; the red alert was announced. Children, panicked and frightened, were hurried into bomb shelters

This year, America is choosing between two retirement age candidates, and for that reason, let's take a quick look at their Veep choices aka running mates.
No one is saying there shouldn’t be a cadre of Torah scholars involved in full time Torah study. The only question is whether it should be full time for everyone to the exclusion of everything else.
By Jeff Dunetz
Dear Gentiles, While we Jews are gone for the Holidays, allow me to give you an important reminder–we’ve built a nice little internet here, so PLEASE behave yourselves while we are gone.
By Batya Medad
Believing that "The Peace," "השלום" "HaShalom" of Shimon Peres is a TRUE Peace is like believing that it is possible to cure a serious illness with the power of one's mind, positive thinking.
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.
Do not even think of saying a critical word about Peres for the foreseeable future. Israel's democracy and freedom of expression goes only so far...
By Jeff Dunetz
“Nobody says the word “profile.” Everyone needs to get smart. I’m OK with profiling. Stop me first. I want you to stop me because I look a certain way. And if I’m clear, then profile someone else.
Some on the left have become confused, absorbing the false Arab narrative about "Palestinian lands," though never in history has there existed either a Palestinian people or an Arab Palestinian state
By Paula Stern
The debate was nasty, ugly. Trump called her Secretary Clinton; she called him Donald.
By Paul Gherkin
The notion that Jews living in houses they have every legal and moral right to live in proves Obama’s belief of a “permanent occupation of Palestinian land” is false and arguably anti-Semitic
By Batya Medad
How to deal with a changing America? Move to Israel, where not only are the Jewish Holidays the official ones,

Conservative principals-- limited government, individual responsibility, and traditional morals--are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and served as inspiration for the US 'Founding Fathers'
