There is no phrase more Jewish than the basic declaration of faith "Shema Yisrael" and there is no more natural place to say it – quietly or demonstratively – than on the Temple Mount. The state's appeal against the decision permitting prayer on the holy compound sets a new record for absurdity.
As the U.S. moves into elections mode, the last thing the Democrats want to talk about is policy. Instead, they’re taking a page out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook and attempting to brand Republicans as racist and evil.

Israel has good reason to fear that Abdullah and Biden are cooking-up an attempt to impose new pro-Arab “arrangements” on the Temple Mount, with Biden coming to Israel in late June to ride herd on this issue.

For the first time in nearly two weeks, Jews have been allowed to go up to the Temple Mount on Yom Haatzmaut, Israel's Independence Day.
The world knows only how to criticize and demonize Israel. What a shame. But at least Jews should know and appreciate Israel’s humanity.
