The October 7 massacre was orchestrated by Hamas with the sole intent of slaughtering as many Jews as possible as part of its Jihad to destroy Israel. Period.

Israel quickly denounced the decision.

To realize its achievements, Israel needs a pause of a few years during which the strategy and military power for an offensive will be formulated.
The critical point is that Israel is fighting to safeguard not just its own nation, but the West and the Free World as well. The battle at the moment seems between preserving freedom or having it extinguished by the forces of barbarism, autocracies, and theocrats, but most of all by the passivity of the West
The northern Lebanese district of Baalbek is a logistical hub for Hezbollah, housing critical assets including stockpiles of ballistic missiles and SAM-6 missile batteries as well as tunnel networks for weapons storage.
I have a term I use to describe this fundamental insight: “Am Levadad” – two words lifted from a Biblical verse (Numbers 23:9) that can be translated as “a singular nation”.
If we accept the reality that antisemitism can’t really be eradicated, and if we accept the idea that hatred of Jews is really resistance to the messages we bring, I think there’s only one thing we can do...

It turns out, it was all a big lie. There was no famine, there is no famine and Israel has not been using hunger as a "weapon of war."
Has a president who is, at best, a part-time leader or at worst, no longer capable of facing the enormous challenges of the presidency, played a role in exacerbating these problems?
The quiet release of Shifa Hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya to Gaza is a travesty that must not go unpunished.
I was not surprised by the great American feminist silence after Oct. 7.
No Magic 'TRICH-inosis' when you lie down with pigs
By Zionist Organization of America
The pattern of this new policy against heroes who have served their country honorably, combined with the slow walking of needed munitions while Israel is at war, is beyond despicable
Any agreement would require Hezbollah to keep its commitments under UN Resolution 1701 to disarm completely and leave the area south of the Litani River, and no one believes that after 18 years they will suddenly honor their commitments.

Bibi broke protocol by calling out the Biden administration for slow-walking arms shipments. Washington’s real goal, however, is appeasing Iran and toppling him.

By Bassam Tawil
The October 7 atrocities serve as a reminder that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not about improving the living conditions of the Palestinians or strengthening their economy. Instead, the conflict is about the desire of the majority of Palestinians to slaughter Jews and destroy Israel.
The revival of anti-masking laws is necessary to curb the post-Oct. 7 surge in antisemitism. But will Democratic-controlled legislatures pass them?

This is a proposal by Hamas and its allies, Egypt and Qatar, along with Hamas allies in the Biden administration who are fighting to keep it alive, that Biden is imposing on Israel.
Israel, like Ukraine and Taiwan, is worth fighting for. The citizens of Israel are sacrificing their lives so that we will not have to. The least we can do is get out of the way and be of help. They are heroes. They deserve our gratitude and support.

Let’s face it, if the topic of the Seder was actually the Exodus from Egypt, then we would just need to read the relevant Torah portions – Vaeira, Bo and Beshalach – which narrate the story of the ten plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, and then we could get down to the real business of eating a delicious meal!
Israel has not yet been, and still is not, the safest place in the world for Jews. But not everyone has the option to live in the safest place in the world – many people just need somewhere that is safer than where they currently live.
In every generation a different Pharaoh-type enemy of the Jewish people emerges. The 20th century has been no exception.
