JoeSettler points out that most Gazans want to leave, and most Jews want to go back home to Gush Katif. How about a solution that actually resolves the conflict?

By JoeSettler

Amalek kidnapped an Israelite. They thought they could confuse God and Israel by pretending to be local Canaanites.
By JoeSettler
MK Mitzna compared Bayit Yehudi to Hamas, but doesn't his own HaTnua party have far more dastardly goals in common with that terrorist organization?
By JoeSettler
Israel has one of the highest concentration of foreign reporters in the world, yet the entire kidnapping saga is being completely ignored by the foreign press.
No Presidential pardon, no goodwill gestures to Fatah or Hamas in honor of Ramadan, and no pressure from the United States will allow for the terrorist to be released, ever.
By JoeSettler
The Arabs didn't miss an opportunity for peace. Their goal has always been something else entirely.
By JoeSettler
Obama's prisoner exchange proposal is reminiscent of the Gilad Shalit deal. The primary difference is where the hostage is being held.

Hesder produces quality, dedicated combat soldiers and officers - why is it suddenly under attack. JoeSettler explores the reason...
Kerry doesn't follow news from Israel very closely, he's too busy drawing up plans for Israel's return to Auschwitz borders.
By JoeSettler
Threats to abandon Settlers to terrorists, and boycotts of Israel are creating opportunities that can be exploited for the good, says JoeSettler.
It's unfortunate that the world takes every word from MK Tibi's mouth as sacred.

Here's some background these papers neglected to mention...

The Israeli government wants to track every single financial transaction you make - EVERY. SINGLE. TRANSACTION!

Refocusing on domestic issues, maybe Obama will leave Israel alone.
By JoeSettler
I think it's fair to say that Putin spit in Obama's face yesterday, and then rubbed it in for good measure.
By JoeSettler
I was wondering how Obama was going to sidestep his promise to attack Syria if they used chemical weapons.
By JoeSettler
Syria presents a fascinatingly real, morbid ethical question, similar to the questions of Darfur and Rowanda.
Sick of the Palestinians displaying their "map of Palestine"? Nothing will enrage them more than this map.
By JoeSettler
Bibi wants to release terrorists, and is surprised by the push-back against the deal. Neither side understands the other.

The current peace talks raise some obvious questions, the answers are a little less obvious.
Are ready for the 9th of Av? The children are....
By JoeSettler
It would mean a stable Egypt, hopefully a less extreme Egypt, and perhaps even a democratic Egypt.
By JoeSettler
Egyptians would probably be quite happy to have Mubarak back in power.
We at Jihawg Ammo hope you will stock up on Jihawg as a natural deterrent to the ever growing threat of radical Islam and Sharia Law.
Make a difference.

Deputy Minister of Finance Mickey Levy (Yesh Atid) said at a Tel Aviv conference that "The Benefits Party is over". "Entire populations do not take part in the labor market and become accustomed to relying on government aid ("Kitzbaot"). Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you this party going is about to end, it's […]

There's no question that many of the backers of the Women of the Wall see the obliteration of Torah Judaism in public places in Israel as their ultimate goal.

From the Islamic sources, it is clear that Eilat had a significant Jewish population, which existed for hundreds of years after the Muslim conquest.

Two people have reported snow in the late May-early June, though in both cases, it was hearsay.
The entire idea of partying on Lag BaOmer is based on... a typo.
Palestinian have no shame when it comes to lying, even easily exposed lies.

An article in Mekor Rishon appeared to offer readers the oppurtunity to participate in the Korban Pesach.
By JoeSettler
Can you imagine having the opportunity to fulfill the mitzvah of Korban Pesach!
The UNRWA cancelled a marathon in Gaza because women would be banned from participating.
If the ulpana truly wanted to act as a role model for their students, they should not have fired their teacher.

Israel might need to roll the proverbial dice again and go for new elections, because this atmosphere is simply too poisoned.
The violent Palestinian riots over the past week were found to be mis-founded.

Many people fell for the LifePatch scam, thinking it was a great new Israeli start-up. In the end, the scammers were convicted.

No one wants Hareidim moving into their neighborhood. But no one is letting them build all-Hareidi communities either.
By JoeSettler
As you must have heard, Prisoner X, was kept in a secret Israeli government jail, the one previously used to hold Yigal Amir, and it's forbidden by the censor to talk about him or his incarceration. Here at the Muqata, we've uncovered the real reasons why Prisoner X was arrested. Here they are (a joint Joe-Jameel effort): […]
A secular Israeli industrial design student has taken the joke about a kippah clip being the ultimate tool and made it into a reality.
Torah will probably flourish more with Shas out of the government and hopefully the Chief Rabbinate will revert back to a Rabbinate for all of Israel.
By JoeSettler
When a drafter of Israel's Constitution says there is a problem because too many IDF commanders are religious, we need to worry about what kind of Constitution he is drafting.
The question is, why would Israeli Arabs hurl curses, harass and stone IDF soldiers -- when the anti-rocket system protects them as well?
Lapid lacks intellectual depth, is ignorant of historical facts, sees settlers as extremists to be battled, and wants to divide Jerusalem.

I fully believe Avigdor Liberman when he says that he will uproot Jewish homes for peace. So should you.
By JoeSettler
You might recall the famous case of MK Azmi Bishara, not coincidentally, also from the Balad party.
How would the Beit HaMikdash fit into the landscape of the Old City?
By JoeSettler
Admittedly, the way they presented all the data in this Ha'aretz article is a joke, but their opening line, wins hands down:

The IDF is embarrassed to fight to win, the politicians are afraid to give them orders to fight.

I had often wondered, if Jews love Israel so much, why didn't they just get up and come here. The Mahram's Aliyah attempt showed that Jews did.
Sports only brings people together when stadiums aren't being used to launch rocket attacks against neighbors.
The Palestinian culture of death continues to amaze.
"Fascist".... "Radical"... "Ultra-nationalist"....these words were used over and over again by Channels 1, 2, and 10 TV. It seems the mainstream media in Israel is upset by what the people want.
The Success behind the Iron Dome...a brilliant high-tech team, and rocket parts that come from Toys-R-Us.
So far, the only candidates that I am 100% certain about are from the list from Mattot Arim.
By JoeSettler
It's been said that if Obama wins, that would be a big push for Aliyah. I'm not sure how that works out considering the fact that 70% of Jews who voted, voted for Obama. I guess it's that 30% that might be considering their options.
Israel's political party conventions make the Knesset seem polite and tame. At the Likud Central Committee convention the other day, the vote for PM Netanyahu's proposal for the Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu to run together in the upcoming election was conducted by a "show of hands" popular vote. Not the best way to hold a vote.
The Israeli city of Modi'in is slammed from an unlikely direction - Israel's civil right's organization, the Association for Civil rights in Israel (ACRI). Granted ACRI doesn't have the most objective agenda, and their voice was loudly missing when it came the Disengagement in 2005, but they are to be praised for doing the right thing when it comes to Modi'in.
In 1945, Yaffa Tevuah was a 22-year old Lehi fighter imprisoned by the British in the women's prison in Bethlehem. Seeking courage when facing her British interrogators, she drew strength from Rachel Imeinu and comfort from her sense of returning home.

A year after the Crusaders captured Jerusalem, they turned to conquer Israel's coastal cities. Haifa's Jewish community is mentioned in the Genizah documents. The city was one of three forts (מבצר) that we know of - Haifa, Dan (Banias) and Rafah (Rafiah). Each had a major Jewish community. Haifa was probably mostly Jewish, if not exclusively so, with a small Muslim military presence. The story of Haifa's conquest, in the summer of 1100, is reported by Christian chroniclers.
