If we draw Venn diagrams of the minimum demands made by the PA and the maximum concessions that Israel could afford to make (and vice versa), the intersections will be empty. There is no “creative” way to solve this problem.

The depiction of Israel as an apartheid state is wrong and immoral, but it shouldn’t be illegal, for the simple reason that banning certain types of speech is a gateway to further, unexpected restrictions.

The "gestures" and "concessions" will, in fact, be seen by the Palestinians, like Israel's retreat from the Gaza Strip, as a reward for their ongoing incitement and terrorism against Israel.

Israeli liberals cheered for Trump's downfall and the Democrats' rise to power because of their need to appear enlightened. We are all paying for this sin.
That the U.S. president who reversed the freeze on American aid to the “pay for slay” Palestinian Authority is receiving Israel’s Presidential Medal is worse than ironic.
Why does the Palestinian cause get so much attention, when there are much more compelling causes around the world?

"The State of Israel is bigger than all of us. More important than any of us. It was here before us, and will be here long after us. It doesn’t belong only to us. It belongs to those who dreamed of it for thousands of years in the Diaspora, and also to those yet to be born, to future generations."
The Arabs are saying that they expect the Biden administration to reverse its stance on the mullahs and act in accordance with reality: that Tehran poses a catastrophic threat to America's allies – all of its allies, Arab and Israeli alike – in the Middle East.

It was necessary to attack Israel’s heart. To create an illusion of discrimination against the Arabs living in Israel. Not the Palestinians – not the refugees – but the Arabs of Israel itself. By doing this the anti-Israel industry could delegitimise Israel’s very existence.

Or Offesve Charm? Despite all the warm words in Jerusalem, there’s no sign that the longtime hostility towards Israel is about to ease.
The Biden administration is trying to appease Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and has taken an intermediate step toward reopening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, which was closed during the Trump administration. Israel made a mistake by not objecting to the administration’s action, which begins to erode Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

These are Bennett's Orwellian two minutes’ hate. And if they go on, and if the media continues to participate, then together with Netanyahu’s trial, they will be the death of Israel’s democracy.
There is also a lethal refusal to face reality in the Middle East that has characterized American administrations, as well as governments in Britain and Europe, for many decades.
Having an Arab party in the coalition should have silenced the “apartheid state” lie. It just proved again that Israel’s enemies don’t care what it does; they just want it dead.

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. Note: King Abdullah has no claim to “custodianship” over Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

Residents have been told to go indoors and lock their homes.
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. On Yom Haatzmaut, we can all add this to our calculations of kevod shamayim and kiddush Hashem (the glorification of G-d’s name in the world) that has been wrought by the State of Israel.

In other words, mere Jewish presence on the holiest Jewish site constitutes “defiling” in the eyes of even Israel’s Arab peace partners, and violent opposition to that presence is seen as virtue.
