The last thing any Palestinian officials wants is to be labeled a traitor because, in the world of Fatah and Hamas, that crime is punishable by death.
Force someone to utter – and believe – an untruth, and all you do is create resentment, which can explode in your face down the road. Moreover, justice must be based on truth. It cannot be based on a lie.
Is pointing out a Biden appointee’s record of support for an anti-Semitic BDS movement really as bad as singling out a Jewish official because her family supports Israel?

The American left used the Capitol mob…as an excuse to subjugate its conservative enemies.

I have come to understand the average German living under Nazism and the average Russian living under communism for another reason: the power of the media to brainwash.
Contrary to the media’s spin, Republicans have never normalized violence. And Republican political power doesn’t depend on political terror and violence. Leftist power invariably does. The Left began a new age of political violence in 2016. It can turn it off anytime it wants to. The problem is that it won’t
The assault on the Capitol was shocking and disgraceful. It’s also a reminder that everyone’s rights, including minority groups, depends on the preservation of order and respect for democracy.

A new study shows that the Birthright Israel program is having a positive impact on participants’ decision to marry a Jewish partner. That has angered interfaith outreach advocates.
Trump’s critics blasted the Morocco-Israel normalization agreement as merely a transaction, rather than peace. They forget that deals based on mutual interests are the only kind that last.

The assassination of Tehran’s top nuclear scientist is a reminder not so much of Israeli and Arab rejection of appeasement as it is of the deadly nature of the Iranian threat
Why does Hollywood get a pass on lockdowns from Cuomo and Newsom? Follow the money.
The socialist marketplace of ideas has nothing in it.
'Republicans play badminton; Democrats play pro football'—Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich

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
The Democrats made the rules, but they don’t want to live by them.
We are now seeing a large number of Arabs and Muslims warning about the clear and present danger Islamism poses to many different societies.

The phenomenon of becoming “Greek” never ends and whatever name they give themselves, there are only ever two categories, the Jews and the Un-Jews.
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.

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?
While a return to “normalcy” isn’t possible, it’s imperative that we stop cutting off friends and relatives who vote for a different candidate.

At this pace, Palestinians might wake up one morning to discover that they no longer have any friends in the Arab countries at 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
