Sadly, thousands of Palestinians continue to heed Hamas's call for trying to breach the border with Israel every Friday while ignoring that it is their leaders who are mainly responsible for dragging them from one disaster to another.
Gazan terror organizations are looking into armed drones and sea-based commando cells, while concentrating fire at Israel’s Iron Dome to overwhelm it.
Assimilation is a daunting challenge for American Jews, but it doesn’t help when an Israeli rabbi/politician inappropriately compares the intermarried to the Six Million.
The rejection by Israeli intellectuals of Jewish spiritual and political activism, as exemplified in the preaching and actions of Rabbi Akiva, who was executed by the Romans for his support of the Bar-Kochba revolt (132-35 CE), runs counter to the thinking of David Ben-Gurion, who considered himself a disciple and successor of the eminent sage.
Palestinians’ rights matter when targeted by Israel, but not when targeted by the Palestinian Authority. And Israeli rights never matter, except when violated by Israel.

"Israel . . . reiterates its full support and solidarity with Cyprus in exercising its sovereign rights in its maritime areas and its opposition to any attempt to violate those rights.”
At the core of the Trump peace initiatives is creative chaos; replacing hoary assumptions with new bridges and highways – literally and figuratively.
The flight schedules of the major airports in the states of the Middle East provide an excellent window into regional politics. The absence of air traffic between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt to Iran reflects the tacit alliance of the three, while the abundance of connections between Istanbul and Qatar and Iranian destinations reflects the counter-Sunni alliance. Flight data also help us to gauge the extent to which Assad’s Syria has been restored.

For there to be any semblance of a chance for peace in the region, all the existing financial incentives for the Palestinian Arab leadership must be removed, and the philosophy of “mukawama” has to die.
I suppose that “opposition” means opposition to everything Trump does and says, regardless of its merit. And it fits with the anti-Israel wind blowing from the left in America, where the Iranian threat is seen as an Israeli problem, not an American one.

Arab states who had a central role in starting the conflict, may end up being the catalyst that finally infuses the pragmatism that is needed for a solution.
The Ireland Israel Alliance also accuses the bill's supporters of hypocrisy, and cites their failure to condemn analogous situations in which Irish firms invest in international companies that do business in other occupied territories around the world.

Hamas leaders in Turkey “live in fancy hotels and luxury towers, their kids learn at private schools and they are very well paid by Hamas,” says Suheib Yousef.
The quality of the targets Israel destroyed in its last attack in Syrian territory earlier this week, stunned the Iranian military leadership, which realized the depth of Israeli penetration into the heart of the Iranian military deployment in Syria, according to the news and analysis site Nziv.net. Experts say this was the most massive Israeli […]
History will reflect kindly upon President Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan.
New elections [the initiative of Mahmoud Abbas] are certain to result in the creation of another Hamas-controlled entity in the West Bank. The Palestinians would end up with two Hamas-run mini-states, one in the West Bank and one in the Gaza Strip.

War, it’s well-known, is hell. This one will be, too. But we must ensure that it will be a bigger hell for our enemies than for us.
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman had the honor of opening the path to the rediscovered City of David's Pilgrimage Road.

“Peace to Prosperity” is certainly an ambitious title for the Bahrain Conference, which offers an “out of the box” plan to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The US vision essentially turns the “refugees” from liabilities into assets, thereby taking the refugee issue off the table. This concept has an historic precedent: the resettlement initiative presented by UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold on June 15, 1959. Both plans received the same response from Palestinians: angry dismissal.
Settlements neither explain Palestinian unwillingness to make peace with Israel nor cause traffic jams in Tel Aviv. Stop using them as a thinly veiled smokescreen for anti-Israel sentiment.
In other words, the Palestinian state-to-be, which has already been recognized as an actual state by more than two-thirds of the world, insists it has no responsibility whatsoever for a whopping 40 percent of its population. This, to put it mildly, is not how you behave if you seek to become a functioning state.

Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries perceive the Al-Aqsa mosque as a rival to the holy city of Mecca and do not support it. Saudi Arabia does not provide any assistance to Jerusalem, and the Saudis prevented the Arab League from carrying out a decision to transfer $500 million to east Jerusalem.
Recent events have demonstrated how Israel’s existence bolsters the security of U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf and throughout the Middle East, countering Iran and enhancing the war on Islamic terrorism.
The Israelis who live in Trump Heights will not be wealthy. They will have few luxuries. But they will be determined.
“A donors’ conference absent Israelis and Palestinians would be a bit of an embarrassment,” said American Enterprise Institute resident scholar and former Pentagon official Michael Rubin.

US Rep. Ocasio Cortez: "The fact that concentrations camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing, and we need to do something about it."
Islamic Jihad was not looking out for Israel’s interests, but was rather upset that Jaysh al-Islam has attempted to steal its assets.
The Six-Day War was a decisive turning point in the Zionist enterprise. But the project of building Israeli communities on the West Bank and the messianic aspects of Zionism were not born in 1967. They are stages in processes that were initiated by the workers’ parties and the Herut movement.
It is a widespread belief that Palestinian hopelessness feeds terrorism and the prospects for peace decrease it. This has always been false. In fact, the opposite is true: when Palestinians feel hopeless, Palestinian terrorism declines; when they are hopeful of gaining the upper hand, Palestinian terrorism increases. An Israeli iron fist is necessary to save both Israeli and Palestinian lives.
The two were reportedly members of an Islamic State (ISIS) affiliated group.
Palestinian leaders do not give a damn about the welfare of their people. If they did, it would be hard to justify their impressive efforts to foil an economic conference whose main goal is to lift their people out of the economic hell these very leaders created and vigorously maintain.
what enables Vance, Mueller and Jackson to engage in such evil? The only answer is their politics – the politics of the Trump-hating left. Leftism has given them permission to act vilely and mercilessly while thinking of themselves as fine people – just as evil doctrines have done throughout history.
Even an interim Israeli government can clean-up the city, stop dithering on construction, rebuff deleterious foreign pressures, and invest in all sectors of Israel’s national capital. It can reestablish forward Zionist momentum – for the greater good of both Arab and Jewish residents, and to secure the national goal of a united, livable and luminous Jerusalem.

The persistent affiliation of the American Jewish diaspora with the Democratic party – a party that is vocally and increasingly critical of Israel – raises concern over what will happen when the US eventually elects another Democratic president. When that happens, the gap between Israel and American Jewry, one of its most powerful and necessary diplomatic assets, will be even bigger than it is today.

“This is a good sign ... India was the first country to support us among the Asia group, so we are very happy."
Friedman said nothing controversial whatsoever about the West Bank, except in the eyes of those who consider any Israeli territorial or other claims illegitimate.
As a result of Israel’s actions, countries and financial institutions are now distancing themselves from these organizations.
A tale of two VERY different peoples.
It appears the UK didn't want to undermine the recently signed Iran nuclear deal, by exposing the Hezbollah terror plans.
For David Ben-Gurion, the concept of mamlachtiut captured the perennial tension between the establishment of the state of Israel as an orderly and delimited institutional project and the view of the state as a means in an exalted process of redemption. Hence, even after its establishment, Israel would continue – as an instrument through which to fulfill an infinite vision – to be “a state in the making.”
What the free world needs is a strong NATO to defend democracy against autocratic regimes like China and Russia, not one that is distracted by unnecessary internal squabbles, lest the transatlantic alliance one day cease to exist.
expects that the position of the Jews – caught between the Right, the Left, and the Muslims – in America will worsen quickly, as it has in Europe, and they will have no place to go except Israel. And he expects that the tepid reaction to antisemitic expression on the Left in the public sphere will send a message that it’s acceptable

A recent annual survey of Arab youth provides insights that should inform autocrats’ quest for social and economic reform. The survey also suggests, as do the intermittent anti-government protests that continue to erupt in different parts of the Arab world, that Western and Middle Eastern interests would be better served by more nuanced US and European approaches toward the region’s regimes.

The Bahrain workshop is the first part of the peace proposal rollout.
Palestinians will not only deprive themselves of billions of dollars, but will also damage -- perhaps irrevocably -- their relations with influential Arab countries. By all accounts, the Palestinians appear to be heading toward another "nakba" (catastrophe).
The former commanders who are demanding a referendum on the possible annexation of parts of the West Bank’s Area C misunderstand the threats confronting Israel. One need only consider the latest round of fighting in Gaza to understand what the threat to the cities of the coastal plain would look like if Israel were to give up control of the mountainous terrain dominating the country’s economic-social-industrial heartland.
In a vote of 74 to 45, the 21st Knesset dissolved itself after just 2 months.

A new prime minister? Another election? A minority government? All those scenarios could unfold in Israel over the next few days. Can Netanyahu form a government by the end of today?
We must not transform the Zionist dream into nothing more than a desire for a safe haven for persecuted Jews
Expecting other countries to go from having never even considered moving their embassies to actually doing so in just 12 months was fatuous. But they have gone from a situation in which recognizing Jerusalem was unthinkable to one in which it’s being actively debated.
For decades, the Arab-Israeli conflict was used as a scapegoat by Arab regimes, to distract from the Arab world’s self-inflicted domestic societal issues - It seems it no longer works

Israeli Finance Ministry data shows that even after Israeli deductions due to the P.A.'s "pay for slay" program, the P.A. would have still received more money in each of the first two months of 2019 than it did on average per month in 2018.

Instead of giving Jabari a chance to carry out his initiative, Palestinians have waged a massive smear campaign against him, with many denouncing him as a "traitor" and "collaborator" with Israel and Jews. Some Palestinians have even gone as far as calling for his arrest or execution.
The Arabs will once again mark the “Nakba” day tomorrow. Here are historical facts to shed some light to their Rejectionism and mythical narrative.
Israel sought and was granted admittance into many different European structures, including Eurovision. Yet as Israel matures into a more established country, this association requires scrutiny.
Reasonable disagreements are degenerating into demonization and double standards applied against the prime minister.

What is Kushner's plan? He has avoided the term "two-state solution" and the plan is believed to be more focused on economics than political issues, like where to draw borders or the "right of return." Those two items stalled previous talks.

Contrary to all the negative predictions, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem has been an extraordinary success.

the ultimate goal must be to remove Hamas yet Israel still follows the strategic goal of "quiet for quiet" instead of actually restoring deterrence.
One tool of verbal demonization that is extremely difficult for Israel to combat is accusations of crimes it supposedly will commit in the future. These are far more difficult to contest than outright lies about current events. An example of this kind of manipulative lie is a remark in an interview by the outgoing French ambassador to the US, Gérard Araud, in which he said that Israel will officially be an apartheid state in the future.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a statement on Wednesday declaring the relevant elements of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 have been addressed, and therefore the President need no longer sign the waiver to prevent funding restrictions.
The Defense Ministry describes Memorial Day as “designed for the whole of Israeli society and not exclusively for bereaved families.”
When Israel celebrates 71 years of restored Jewish national independence, it bows its head to the 23,741 Israelis who have been killed in action defending the national freedom of the Jewish people. While the price is high, the price of lacking Jewish national freedom was always incomparably higher.
As long as Israel’s enemies are allowed to whitewash 3000 years of continuous Jewish national history in Israel and Jerusalem, genuine peace between Israel and her neighbors will remain a pipe dream.
Islamic Jihad representatives met with the Abu ‘Arar family and offered them full compensation and a registry of the baby as a “Shahid” in exchange for their silence.
Despite possible short term difficulties, Israel should seize on the impending collapse of the Palestinian Authority as an opportunity to extricate itself from the deadly cul-de-sac, into which the Oslo process has lured it

Many in the Gulf are beginning to grasp that their support for the Palestinians is detrimental to their own interests. In addition to practical considerations, the fact that the Palestinians have grown closer to Iran has sparked ire in many Gulf states, which see the Islamist regime as an enemy and the Palestinians’ increasingly close ties with Tehran as a betrayal.

Whereas other legitimate national movements can point to heroic leaders of the past—emperors, kings, presidents—Palestinian Arabs cannot go much further back than Yasser Arafat, a murderous terror boss who never ruled anything more than a gang of killers. Arafat wasn’t even a native Palestinian Arab.
A woman has been murdered in Chabad of Poway, and 3 more people wounded, including a child.
Tthe Dome of the Rock is ubiquitous in Palestinian political life today because the British thought they would get goodwill from the Arabs of Palestine if they helped repair the long-ignored site. Instead, it was used to fuel antisemitism and create Palestinian nationalism - which were, and remain, joined at the hip.

Iran wishes to keep Israel busy around its borders with proxy threats, on the defensive, and deterred.
European leaders condescendingly believe that they know better how the Jewish nation should run its affairs. A sovereign and independent Jewish state is, once again, condemned for being strong and unapologetic.

In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or "migrant") identity of the destroyers is leaked, the desecraters are then presented as suffering from mental health issues.

But where is the backbone of the IDF? Is it possible that the “containment theory” that has spread amongst the army's top ranks has eradicated their ability to face the enemy? Has it confused them to the point where there is no clear distinction between good and evil?
The former U.S. president understood that the demand to create a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria is a demand for creating a second Palestinian state (over and above Jordan).
“We ... reject any unproven unscientific statements that contradict all available current science-based studies on vaccinations."
Intensive investment must be made in civil society frameworks that can not only draw the idea of extended Israeli sovereignty into the main-stream discourse as a legitimate political objective, but as one that can dominate that discourse

Israeli elites on the left find it hard, even in 2019, to accept the fact that they have lost power; they cling to investigations and Israel’s imaginary racism to excuse their entrenched opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu. And how their hypocrisy has grown since the last election—all of a sudden, they miss Menachem Begin.
It should be said plainly: The core cause behind Netanyahu’s fifth electoral win is contempt for the failed Oslo Accords and the disastrous Gaza disengagement.
If you were to listen to many American women today, you would think nothing has improved. Every women’s group and millions of individual women say women are “oppressed” despite the fact that virtually nothing remains of the “feminine mystique” described by Friedan.

The people have indeed spoken and much was said quite ardently. The majority of Israelis trust Netanyahu as the only candidate worthy of the position of prime minister. Bennett and Shaked are in a difficult position: they didn't succeed to unite secular and religious Zionists with their new party.
