Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error.
Biden now seems to be adopting a very different stance, one where it appears ready to scale down its commitment to supporting Israel's right to self-defence, and destroying Hamas, in favour of a ceasefire deal that would essentially gift victory to Hamas.
The youngest known hostage is 10-month-old Kfir Bibas.
So far the Democrats continue to mock Trump and refuse to take him seriously. This could cost the Democrats dearly. For even if the solutions that Trump suggests appear weird the problems he raises are real.

As we mark the holiday of Thanksgiving this weekend, it is an opportunity to remind ourselves that the most authentic thanks is for that which we are tempted to take for granted and not even recognize at all
Israel had a clear moral case for taking out Hamas.
By Bassam Tawil
If such a large number of Palestinians in the West Bank support the murder of Israelis and Hamas, it is safe to assume that a new "Palestinian state" would be controlled by Hamas or another genocidal, antisemitic terror group.
The ‘Two-State Solution’ is not an end to violence, it’s perpetual violence.
Hamas takes human shields to a new level.
Westerners assume that the Palestinians seek a future of prosperity and freedom and peace because that is what they aspire to preserve for themselves. But this isn’t the case.

"We are not sub-humans. Let me repeat: We are not sub-humans," said Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian Authority's representative to the United Nations, after the sub-human atrocities inflicted on innocent civilians in Israel by his fellow Palestinian Arabs. He felt the need to repeat the claim twice last month at an emergency session of the of […]

When will we begin to connect the dots?

At present, it appears that Hamas regards the presence of the hostages as a tool by which it can itself place pressure on Israel to limit the scope and timing of the offensive.
From Hamas to Iran to Turkey, when our enemies tell us what they're going to do, we need to listen.

It’s the moral duty of the IDF to fulfill the promise of NEVER AGAIN.
“We are here for the Jews, we came to kill them with knives and shoot at them.”
The Hamas atrocities and the reaction to it are a reality check. Some Jewish liberals recoil in horror at the implications of the ideology of social justice, others double down and embrace it. They claim that they want peace, but the Cygnal poll shows what they really want is dead Jews.

A policeman was seriously wounded in the attack.
The choice between Hamas and Israel is not complex. It is one between an Islamist tyranny and a democratic state, between a group whose Western ideology isn’t merely alien to Western thought but steeped in what can only be described as evil.
So what will be? How should we confront the new reality we have seen?
It is probably the easiest conflict in the world to explain. It may be the hardest to solve, but it is the easiest to explain. "In a nutshell, it's this: One side wants the other side dead."

Guterres: “It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation."

A decade ago, in 2013, I published an article with Professor Ephraim Inbar entitled “Mowing the Grass.” In it, we explained the Israeli rationale behind various rounds of conflict in Gaza. We discussed the lack of a better alternative to ground incursions into Gaza, despite the significant losses and harsh international criticism involved. There are […]

An attack that no one saw coming.
The Palestinian Authority will find a way to deliver the payments despite the fact that Gaza is at war and that Hamas seeks to overthrow the Ramallah government.
If Netanyahu fails to stand up to the United States, if he buckles, the pressure from Washington won’t stop
By BESA CENTER
Hamas made a strategic mistake: It should have calculated that there was a possibility that the State of Israel would respond by acting to eliminate its physical existence. The most important thing in the coming weeks is to focus on achieving this goal.
The political rationale of the Gaza conflict can be mirrored in the inexorable logic of an almost mathematical algorithm—studiously ignored by Israel's policy-making echelons

If the Democratic senators have it their way, the future Palestinian state will also be controlled by Hamas and PIJ.

The current situation is not just an act of terrorism: it is an invasion, an orchestrated massacre gleaming with the sinister glare of genocidal intent.

The responses to Hamas barbarism must include Jewish unity; an end to biased media coverage of Palestinian terrorism; and a refusal to let these murderers profit from their crimes.
Let's not be fooled. Extolling "ironclad friendship" between America are simply meaningless and phony words

Some 3,000 Gilboa residents participated in the march.
The Yom Kippur War demonstrated that even when disadvantaged by a surprise attack, we could not be dislodged from Israel.

The Saudis are not pressuring Israel to make hefty concessions to the Palestinian Authority.
The Saudi want peace with Israel and a defense treaty with the US, that's all they care about.
It is like the street demonstrations in Israel. One side gets a zillion people in the streets 38 weeks in a row, while the other side holds only two large rallies during that same time. Does that mean one side is stronger by 19 times (i.e., 38-2)? Or does it reflect that one side has enormous leftist-zillionaire funding from America that the other side does not? And that one side uses such street tactics while the other side, uh, votes instead?
Both sides need to decide on their own now that there will be no more victories of one side over the other and that from now on, key decisions on the country's future will have to be made by consensus.

The Palestinian list of demands for refraining from condemning a Saudi-Israeli peace accord can be seen as tantamount to blackmail. The Palestinian leadership is telling the Saudis and Americans that if they want to avoid Palestinian condemnation, they must pay the price -- with money and territory.

“Biden’s team holds grudges. It will never appreciate Israel for the ally it is,” said Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute.
The second reason is most liberals have chosen to believe that the Democratic Party is still the party of John F. Kennedy. They are fooling themselves
Oslo is the root cause of today’s terrible epidemic of terrorist and crime shootings.
The Israeli left, the European Union and the Biden administration have a shared interest in repressing the Nazi roots of Palestinian nationalism.
As a result of a small thought experiment, I find myself less plagued by the idea that I may not “see” the Palestinians.
