Last month, two court-appointed forensic psychiatrists concluded that ideological mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik — who killed 77 Norwegians in July — is insane. Other experts disagree.

The Washington Post—without reason or explanation—sought to impugn the IDF’s motives and obfuscate on what happened

This is the second time reports have surfaced that Israel hit Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Center.

The numbers don't lie--life for Palestinians is NOT what you read in the mainstream media

The apparent prominence of Gaza naval bases on the IDF’s target list may indicate that the hundreds of frogmen in Hamas's employ are now serving as underwater stevedores, bringing weapons into the coastal enclave.

Despite a unique environment – top heavy on terrorism and war, but low on natural resources and rainfall - Israel has bolstered its do-or-die state of mind, with defiance of odds, risk-taking, frontier, pioneering, optimism, patriotism, can-do and out-of-the-box mentality. This has yielded a robust flow of game-changing commercial, defense and dual-use technologies.

I just published a collection of my essays in English. Each time I am asked if I am also releasing the volume in Hebrew I feel a pain deep inside me when I answer that no, right now, my publisher is only interested in an English edition.

The attempt to minimize Middle East instability and advance the US interest, on the one hand, and establishing a Palestinian state, on the other hand, constitutes a classic oxymoron, adding fuel – not water – to the Middle East fire.

Israel began the Iron Swords War on October 7, 2023, on a “Yom Kippur War” dynamic; Israel ended the war on January 17, 2025, on a “Six-Day War” dynamic

A unique technology-multiplier for the US

The highest policy official overseeing PA and UNRWA matters looked me straight in the eye and said PA school books used by UNRWA advance peace and reconciliation. Clearly, he never read the books.

Over 25% of those surveyed from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Sweden, believed that Jews had too much influence in business and that nearly one in four believed that Jews had too much influence in wars around the world,

The most important question is how will the new Egyptian government conduct itself, when for the first time in modern Egyptian history ("Since the days of Pharaoh", in the words of the head of the elections committee) it represents the people in a fair way.

How my experience working with emotionally disturbed children taught me everything I need to know about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Like many Arab countries, Lebanon has always been treating Palestinians as third-class citizens. Nearly half a million Palestinians live in Lebanon's 12 camps. Though born and raised in the country, they are denied political, economic and social rights.

NGO-Monitor’s team focused on whether HRWs 217-page report was based on serious research. It wasn't.

Attacks from Gaza on Israel have ramped up significantly in the last several days. An Israeli patrol was hit by what was thought to be a roadside bomb on Tuesday (three were wounded), near the border fence with Gaza. On Saturday, terrorists in Gaza fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli jeep with four infantrymen in it, as the patrol operated in the area of the roadside bomb attack. The four soldiers were wounded, one severely. More than 80 rockets have been launched from Gaza into Israel since the attack on the jeep on Saturday, 10 November. At least three Israeli civilians were injured in the rocket attacks. Geography is beginning to rear its head again, as Israel has also sustained incursions into the Golan from Syria in recent days.

It has been widely reported that Merah, the young Islamist terrorist who killed three French soldiers two weeks ago, and four Jews at the Otzar HaTorah school in Toulouse, murdered Jews “to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children.” But NPR went one better, reporting — in the words of “All Things Considered” host Robert Siegel — that “the gunman told officials that he killed his victims in part to avenge slain Palestinian children.”

The works and the moderate individuals exist but they are not given support, even in Western countries, nor do they have the resources to wage the battle.

Obama has chosen shaky ally on the way out over strong ally solidly in the American orbit.

We too cannot be so capricious of nature, so weary of our national responsibility, as to give away what is, in truth, not ours alone to barter... We cannot be so selfish as to sacrifice a holy heritage for what is, at best, transitory expediency.

It is time that we recognize the reality with which we are faced. The State of Israel is at war. This war is being fought on a completely different battlefield than in the past, where the notion of 'de-legitimization' has replaced bullets and provocative actions such as the flotilla have replaced tanks and fighter planes. And, just as we did not hesitate to confront the violence perpetrated by our enemies in the past, we cannot waver in our resolve against this new threat.

The U.N.’s Beirut-based agency of 18 Arab states published a report accusing Israel of “Apartheid.” In response, UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer took the floor...

The 435 House Members & 100 Senators serve at the pleasure of their constituents, NOT the President.

A large number of pro-Obama and radical or even anti-Israel cadre are Jews.

Germany's The Jewish Faith newspaper ominously noted, “We Jews are in for a war after the war.”

Starting in 1994, Palestinian poverty has been increasing steadily, until it really started revving down, so to speak, in more recent years.
