Follow Us
By Avi Ciment
Why would anyone follow the Torah if they didn’t believe in its Divine authorship?
In much of the West, particularly in the United States, silence is often perceived as awkward, a sign of disengagement or lack of confidence. But in some East Asian cultures, such as Japan, silence conveys thoughtfulness, respect, and even wisdom.
If a person has an optimistic attitude, the cognitive bias will seek reasons to feel better. It is an inescapable factor in human consciousness that the attitude itself shapes the outcome.
Conti’s foray into Hebrew printing was neither accidental nor peripheral.
My parents were very makpid about the Three Weeks, particularly my father. He did not allow us to go on any unnecessary outings starting from Shiva Asar B’Tammuz, and even once we were grown and out of the house, he would keep tabs on all of us, reminding us that the period of Bein HaMitzorim was a dangerous time.

In game theory, there is a well-known strategy called the "ticking time bomb": a threat of destructive action against an adversary that may also harm the threatening player themselves
Will people who criticize Islam be dragged through the courts by a desperate regime, while those who outspokenly fantasize about murdering Jews are granted a blank check?
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
That doesn’t mean we stop caring about other causes. It does mean we stop sacrificing ourselves at the altar of movements that see us as expendable.
We must always remember that it is only B’yad HaShem and with the Etzpah of HaShem that we will succeed in eradicating those who threaten us.
For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it.

How Two Nations Lit the Night Sky and Saved a Civilization
Also in question is the enriched uranium that may have been removed from Fordow.
Trump gave Iran a chance to negotiate--they refused. Iran has now paid the price
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran..."
The US urgently needs to spearhead not another porous, fake "nuclear deal" but real security, stability and freedom -- not only for millions of Muslims, Christians and Jews, but also for the great people of Iran who have been forced to suffer under vicious psychopathic despots long enough.
Can Iran's authoritarian theocratic regime collapse as quickly as Syria?
Israel took Iran seriously and acted seriously. It faced down death threats and delivered death to the terrorist enemies of civilization. That is what serious nations do.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu held a special interview with Iran International, an Iranian opposition media outlet, with the goal of talking directly to the Iranian people.
Israel’s pre-emptive and technically accomplished strike on Iran is the stuff of legend.
Israelis all over the country were woken up just before 3AM to a nationwide alert.
Hamas leaders are leading safe, often resplendent lives in Qatar, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey and other comfortable countries.

Through the calm dismantling of a contrived provocation, the Jewish state upheld its dignity while letting its detractors reveal their own absurdity.
If your reflex opposition to this idea of Gazans leaving Gaza is also to reject it because ‘it is what Israel would want’ – then the Palestinian cause has turned you into an absolute monster.

Why Israel’s war cannot be won until it stops lying about who the enemy really is
The only way to prevent a civil war in Israel is to acknowledge its impending outbreak, so that steps can be taken to forestall it.
By Bassam Tawil
By advocating a "two-state solution," France, Canada and Britain are essentially authorizing a genocide.

Terrorists murdered American-Israelis Judy Weinstein-Haggai and Gadi Haggai at Kibbutz Nir Oz, then carried their bodies to the Strip.

Protesters seek not only a second Holocaust targeting Israel but the elimination from American society of Jews who believe in its right to exist.
By BESA CENTER
Hamas used gender-based violence as a deliberate strategy intended to cause severe harm to Israeli civilians, undermine Israelis’ sense of social security, and sow terror within Israeli society.
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
Both projectiles struck open areas, according to the IDF, causing no injuries or damage.
If something could possibly go wrong, unfortunately it will -- leaving Trump with the legacy of delivering yet another laughably fake peace deal and of his presidency being that of another failed Barack Obama.

Since Christians and Muslims acknowledge that the Jews are their elders and their religion’s foundational source, why aren’t Jews and Israel treated with more respect?

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is first and foremost a politician, not a human being
Despite its internal and external challenges, modern Israel remains stronger than ever
By JCFA- Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs
If we want to win – not just the battles but also the war – we must start by understanding the battlefield we’re actually on.
Thunderous gaslighting language eventually lit the match that materialized into senseless murder outside a Jewish museum.
We must confront antisemitism but not just with stories or tours of Jewish victimhood. Instead of focusing on educating others, educate yourself, your children and Jews all around us to be living richly proud and practicing Jewish lives.
By David Isaac
The figures' wide acceptance constitutes a "major strategic victory" for Hamas, according to the Australian authors of the study.
By Paul Gherkin
There is a reason the hordes are yelling “we are all Hamas,” “gas the Jews” and “Heil Hitler"--and it isn’t coexistence.
The AG was fast in criticizing the very qualified candidate.
By Paul Gherkin
Gaza isn’t just a local issue anymore. It’s global. It’s ideological. And for Israelis, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The term is not in the Torah because it is a modern political invention.
The light of togetherness, commitment and Torah in action will help us move toward the receiving of the Torah that Jews commemorate on Shavuot.
It is too early to decide whether the president’s Mideast trip will bear fruit, but it has already been subjected to the excesses and warping and fakery by the anti-Trump media.

Outsmarting those who wish to erase Israel from the cultural realm
Israel's "deep-state apparatus" is "working to undermine elected officials and actually the public," said Knesset Member Simcha Rothman.
In the age of rising antisemitism, when many young Jews feel fear, confusion or alienation, there are still those who choose action, belonging and sacrifice.
The only reliable source of strength we can depend upon is ourselves and our faith in HaShem. No other people, country or government.
Reject false equations and partisan lenses, do not hide or hide behind free speech, embrace Israeli strength, and more.
Azhar was killed during India's Operation Sindoor.
"Unlike in the past, the IDF will remain in every area that is conquered in Gaza, to prevent the return of terrorism," a security source says.
The Israeli attack is in response to the Houthi's ballistic missile attack against Israel the other day which targeted Ben Gurion Airport.
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
Should the list with the names of the hostages be disposed of like other sacred documents, and ultimately buried in a Jewish cemetery?
The soldier is not so sacred as he once was. The journalist and the judge have taken his place. The actors sneer from their theaters. The politicians gobble their free food and babble of peace. Musicians sing shrilly of flowers in gun barrels and doves everywhere. But the soldier still stands where he must.
Weaponizing ‘Hava Nagila’ and the fires that blaze in Israel
By Guy Millière
The vast majority of Israelis seem finally to have understood that the goal of Palestinian organizations is not to create a state living in peace alongside Israel, but to destroy Israel.
One would be greatly mistaken to think that she will pause in her efforts to combat Jew-haters and anti-Israel terrorists.
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
In Israel, a lot, especially when it comes to Judea and Samaria.
The safety and security of Jews around the world depends on Israel winning – on regaining its strength, self-confidence, and deterrent power. This, in turn, will re-empower Diaspora Jews to defend Israel and themselves.
By placing the only democratically elected leader in the Middle East on the same level as Yahya Sinwar, the mass-murdering head of Hamas, the ICC has exposed its own moral and procedural collapse.
By Forest Rain
There are no reports in Israel or worldwide of anyone with injuries as severe as Kfir's who has survived.
By Ruthie Blum
As veteran Israeli commentator on Arab affairs Zvi Yehezkeli points out, “If those protesting Hamas had a chance, they would commit Oct. 7 again.”
An important lesson of the Now Jewish Nanny’s journey and the families that inspired her is to ask ourselves, if someone worked in our home, lived with our family, was involved in our lives and lifestyle, would that draw them closer to Judaism or push them away?
The Trump proposal comprises a point of singularity reflecting a sharp break from past trends, and a sober recognition of the futility of the past pursuit of some mythical Palestinian “peace partner.”
Like the anti-Trump “resistance,” the country’s liberal establishment is waging a war against the prime minister as a bid to hold on to power, not an effort to save democracy.
It is not enough for a person to act with integrity; they must also ensure that their actions are above suspicion, that their intentions are transparent, and that their purity of conduct is unmistakable.
By Ben Cohen
A new report on Hamas’s atrocities offers an impressive counterweight for undecided readers who will encounter the deniers as they seek the truth.
Hamas left Israel no alternative but to resume the war.
Some say that we are re-living the 1930's. I disagree. Today, the danger to Jews is far graver and more complex than it was in the pagan or medieval-Christian world, or during World War Two.
As recently as March 7, Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Congressman Adriano Espaillat issued the following statement: Revoking federal grants to Columbia University isn’t about combating anti-Semitism; it’s about the Trump administration’s war on education and science. Suuuure it is Jerry. Try telling that to the Jewish students who faced violence and threats there since the Hamas mini-Holocaust.
The Arab plan, notably, also does not call on Hamas to lay down its weapons. Do the Arab leaders really believe that Western donors would rush to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip while terrorists belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups continue to roam the streets?
There is no "genocide" in Gaza. There is no "apartheid" in Israel. The IDF has not committed any "ethnic cleansing" anywhere. These crimes are only part of the Islamic/Islamist repertoire.
Trump said enough is enough.
Leftists misuse the biblical book of Esther to promote the lie about Israel committing genocide when it is the Palestinians, like Hitler, Haman and Amalek before them, who seek their extermination.
Why does one news report matter? One reason is that so many newspapers, major ones as well as small town ones depend on the AP for their international coverage.
Who would manage Gaza, under the Arab plan, during the proposed $50 billion reconstruction project?
A front-page exposé in the British Daily Mail reveals the social media sensation "Abu Wadei" is an active member of the terrorist organization's "Arson Unit."

The new sheriff in Washington, Hamas's on-camera cruelty, and the Ukraine drama go a long way to explaining the change.
By Lisa Liel
Judaism is about making distinctions and Israel and Amalek are polar opposites.
The captors used the foreign workers' passports to bypass the security checkpoints, for over a month.
The notion that Trump’s refusal to let Zelenskyy dictate U.S. policy sets a precedent for the Jewish state is a partisan talking point. The two relationships have little in common.
For an industry still powered by Jews and obsessed with the making of superhero movies, the Oscar for Jewish Cowardice continues to have far too many nominees.

If Trump successfully manages to overcome the pressures and obstacles placed in front of him, what he is setting in motion today can magnificently transform the Middle East.
602 living terrorists are being exchanged for the bodies of four murdered hostages.
The completion of Wednesday night’s exchange will mark the conclusion of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.
The resettlement of large numbers of "Palestinians" has happened before in the Middle East. While the resettlement of Gaza would take place on a larger scale, it would not be that much larger than the resettlements during the war or in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
The three will be laid to rest in Zohar, near the family’s home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
If Trump and Netanyahu are really serious about achieving lasting peace in Gaza, they must abandon the disastrous ceasefire deal -- and especially the well-intended but painfully out-of-his-depth U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, who has mindlessly promoted it.
And we thought Oct. 7 was the worst. Hamas keeps showing the world how depraved its adherents can be.
By Ruthie Blum
The children of Gaza and the Palestinian Authority are raised on a steady diet of hatred. Their heroes are bombers, not Batman.
"On the 7th of October, not only Israeli citizens were murdered but also the idea that was mistakenly called 'the two-state solution."
In essence, the cases are not about the actual terror attacks, apparently all are in agreement that the PLO and PA bear responsibility, but about the legality of bringing terror’s sponsors and supporters before U.S. courts. And there lies the rub.
Na'el Abid was released a week ago as part of the hostage deal with Hamas.
"Our Shiri was murdered in captivity and has now returned home to her children, her husband, her sister, and all her family for her final rest."
Fashionable antisemitism has caused leftist myths about Israeli “oppressors” to dismiss justified anger and grief about the fate of the Bibas kids.
Restraint and rethinking are necessary in the discourse about the hostage situation. Skeptics of deals with Hamas are not “war criminals.”
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
For 76 years, Israel has lived in a state of perpetual emergency, surviving against all odds every single day. And we must ask, once and for all: Why? Why do we accept this reality?
