The Gazan rocket hit a factory in Ashkelon on Saturday night.
The Sand Curtain between Israel and the Arab world has fallen, like the Iron Curtain 30 years ago, but some of the world has difficulty rejoicing in the breakthrough. The Left assiduously is poking holes in the Abraham Accords and making sourpuss faces whenever the Roadrunner-fast advances in Gulf-Israel ties are mentioned…

“You can see nations all across the world coming to understand that the Palestinians have rejected reasonable offers to negotiate time and time again. And the leadership has simply failed its own people,” says U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States.
The decision on labeling is part of the US's "reality-based foreign policy approach" under President Trump.
Let us remember that as a matter of law and constitutionality, Joe Biden is not yet the president-elect. He has been coronated by the media, by politicians and by most Americans.

Malliotakis has called for forming a “freedom squad” to counter fellow New Yorker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her axis in Congress, and to fight BDS.
The policy preferences of much of US Jewy seem even more paradoxically perverse—as they are undeniably lending support to political regimes that comprise the diametric opposite of the enlightened liberal values the purport to cherish
Warnock claims that Jesus was a Palestinian. Talk about anachronisms and historical revisionism.
Talk of Biden's joviality and personal warmth, and of moderates versus radicals, are soothing distractions for Israelis about to face the most hostile U.S. administration in history.

The election of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States requires an examination of the significance for Israel of the transition of power. After four years of unprecedented breakthroughs for Israel during President Donald Trump’s administration, is Israel destined to return to the Obama era in the shape of his former deputy?
Americans watched Democratic governors and mayors do nothing as left-wing thugs burned their cities. And then they watched Democratic mayors and city councils defund their police departments. That is one reason Democrats fared so badly.
Biden is not Obama. He is more an old-school pro-Israel Democrat. But things have changed.

The Israeli delegation is being led by Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan • Abbas adviser Nabil Shaath says the visit is “painful to witness.”
As President-elect Joe Biden starts to form his administration, Israel has to prepare itself for both the transition period leading up to the transfer of power on January 20, 2021 and the four subsequent years.

Elementary logic says if there are coattails, there’s a coat. However, even as the down-ballot races went a bright, rosy red, we’re being asked to believe that those same voters didn’t want Trump. That defies credulity.
Whoever the next U.S. president is, one thing is already clear: Thanks to the Democrats and the media, America's democratic order is in crisis.

“The American people are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots.”

Kamala Harris said the Biden-Harris administration would oppose annexation and settlement expansion, and reverse Trump's steps against the Palestinian Authority.
To the dismay of its opponents, the administration has transformed U.S. policy on Jerusalem and settlements. Will they all be reversed by a Biden administration?

If we’ve learned anything in American politics, it’s never good to pretend you’re a prophet.
If the former vice president is elected to the White House, all recent achievements will evaporate and Iran will once again lead the region
The development of a Sunni-Israel bloc in the region would be a breakthrough that would fundamentally alter the balance of power, and reduce the need for the US to physically intervene to keep the peace

Biblical morality, which can also be called Abrahamic morality, was born in Mesopotamia and from there spread west. Until Europe freed itself of its yoke, it was the legacy of the West. Europe’s renunciation led to a series of horrendous calamities from which it was rescued by the US and Britain, which, unlike continental Europe, continued to uphold Abrahamic morality. The Abraham Accords were signed at a time when the US, patron of the Accords and leader of the West and the world, is likewise disavowing its moral values and being taken over by progressivism—another utopian European ideology that has broken from morality. The children of Abraham must make the most of the peace they have reached to reconnect the West with the moral roots that took form in the East.

It is unclear if this a negotiating tactic on Lebanon's part, or their puppet-master Iran and its proxy Hezbollah are attempting to derail the negotiations and ensure the destruction of Lebanon.
Peace with Syria is a suicidal fantasy - the war-torn country is unstable and would insist on Israel giving up the Golan Heights

Their claim, in the amount of hundreds of millions of shekels, as compensation for their torture, disabilities, rape, and murder, is being heard by the Jerusalem District Court.
Obamagate is the First American Coup. Not from the militaristic right, as fantasized by liberal Hollywood. Oh, no – from the "fundamental transformation" artists of the Bolshevik Left.
From a Jewish and Israeli point of view, there are two main issues to look at when analyzing the activities of American Jewish billionaire George Soros. The first are his damaging statements and actions against Jews and Israel, and the second are antisemitic attacks on Soros himself. For Jews, the problems that arise around these issues require fine tuning of their reactions to Soros’s statements and actions.
You see how this plays out. When the truth cannot be reported, it is worse than being lied to about what is truly happening. The insidious plot of the Left can irretrievably twist the constitution and the nation in just a very few days. Fight for the truth.

The Arab World is increasingly losing interest in the Arab-Israeli conflict. If that conflict is to be sustained, it will be almost entirely through the efforts of the Progressive movement. Members of that cult will not let the conflict disappear, as to do so would undermine one of their articles of faith. Progressivism is a return to old-school antisemitism.

It’s no surprise that Israelis want Trump while American Jews back Biden. The split isn’t so much about Middle East policy as it is about the nature of the two societies
Senior PA sources say PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas received promises from Joe Biden to repeal a series of measures taken by the Trump administration against the Palestinians, notably the “Deal of the Century” plan.

It is Washington’s strong support for Saudi Arabia’s security needs, clear stance against Iran’s pursuit of regional hegemony, support for Saudi actions in Yemen, and willingness to set aside its criticism of Riyadh’s domestic policies that have allowed for even the possibility of a formal shift in the kingdom’s stance on Israel. But Joe Biden has made clear that if elected, he intends to reverse all those policies. Such changes, along with his preemptive rejection of Israel’s extension of sovereignty to any new territory, would undermine any prospect that exists for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Israel has largely ignored the war of words against it. This includes malicious terms such as “apartheid” and “occupation,” as well as anti-Israel phrases like “land for peace” and “two-state solution.” The UN’s falsely calling descendants of Palestinians who fled during the 1948 war “refugees” is another example. Well before any new negotiations take place with the Palestinians, the issue of Palestinian incitement as part of their cult of the glorification of genocide and death should be put on the international agenda.

Polls and other social barometers are consistently forecasting that Joe Biden will win the US presidential election on November 3, but it’s too early to be sure. Relatively little attention is being paid to Trump’s track record in foreign affairs, though it might turn out to be a meaningful factor in the election. By taking that element into consideration, it is possible to make a “Devil’s Advocate” case for a Trump victory. The president’s multiple nominations for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize could have an impact as well.
No voter would be able to remember when the Court was smaller than 40 justices, much less just nine.

Responded the Simon Wiesenthal Center: “At a time when the Internet is awash with fake news and technological tools that enable governments and virtually anyone to manipulate information, we welcome Facebook’s change of policy to stand with historic fact and the 6 million Jews murdered by Nazi Germany during World War II.”

On the other hand, if Biden wins it may become clear to Israeli planners that there is a very short window of opportunity to pursue a military solution to the problem of Iranian nukes.
Two decades later, Arafat’s decision to answer a peace offer with war exploded hopes for peace. Yet the foreign-policy establishment still hasn’t understood what happened.
The skewed reporting of housing demolitions in the West Bank is yet another tool with which the EU engages in blatant discrimination against Israel. But does it help the Palestinians? Readily available information on such demolitions suggests that the EU’s bias hurts them more than it benefits them.

We can soon expect a flood of Moslem tourists to Israel. These tourists will certainly want to visit Jerusalem and some of its iconic Islamic symbols, such as the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The question is: What will they be told about them?
At a time when Jews are supposed to look within and admit fault, too many of us are virtue signaling and delegitimizing our opponents. Can we stop?
In what could be a major breakthrough, Lebanon has agreed to negotiate with Israel over their shared maritime border after the Sukkot holiday.

"Boom, a rock lands next to the window, where our little one-and-a-half-year-old Chen was sleeping. She wakes up and starts screaming to high heavens."
Hitherto suppressed truths are now being told in the Arab world in a way that was previously unthinkable.
But if the Nobel judges do award Trump the Nobel Prize, he will be the fifth US president to gain the accolade. And if he does, he would be the most deserving of them all.
For the Labor Party, the fall from the heights of political hegemony to the depth of political oblivion is a fitting fate for the perpetration of the Oslo Accords, which ran counter to every prevailing Zionist norm of the time
Can everyone please take a deep breath and absorb the staggering fact that the current administration has put much of practical Israel policy in OUR hands? That is, Shomer Shabbos hands. And we are making peace treaties?! This is a moment of exhilarating pride and redemption for every Orthodox Jew, every Ben Torah.
With the door (temporarily?) closed on extending sovereignty to parts of the West Bank, the time has come to return to the logic of what used to be known as “practical Zionism.” Though the modern state of Israel was established as far back as 1948, the controversy between “political” and “practical” Zionism remains as current as it was in the 1930s.

Will that change because one Arab state enthusiastically signs a peace deal with Israel? Will it make a difference if more Arab states sign-on?
Litzman said that it was a mistake to have pushed off the Coronavirus lockdown for so long, and Gamzu's plan all along was to shut down the shuls on the High Holidays.
Time is short. The Left's threat of violence and subversion of the election is real. How we respond is critical.

Now that the UAE has broken the Arab taboo against normalization with Israel, other Arab states will be inclined to do so in ways consistent with their interests.
Deep State exposed in Netanyahu corruption investigation.
While the normalization with the UAE could definitely entail significant benefits for Israel it is still somewhat premature to celebrate the onset of lasting amity—rather than enmity—in the region.
Feeding panic about militias and anti-Semitism amid urban unrest is gaslighting. The real threat to Jewish security and to all Americans is the breakdown of the rule of law.
“You all are on the front lines ... people will heed your advice in ways they won’t mine as surgeon general,” Dr. Jerome Adams told Jewish leaders.
Most Arab countries see common interests with Israel in the face of the mullahs in Tehran with their imperial aggression in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and beyond, coupled with insatiable nuclear ambition.
I wrote, "It is panic and hysteria, not the coronavirus, that created this catastrophe." Unfortunately, I was right.
