The Egyptian and UN mediators, in failing to call out the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad for their deception and conflicting messages, are permitting the two groups to deploy the ceasefire with Israel as a cover to prepare for the next war.
The threat of anti-Semitic violence is real. But American Jews are not in the kind of danger that should force them to hide their identities or stay away from synagogues.
“America is racist.” “Whites are racist.” “Trump supporters are racist.” These are all big lies.
AOC also endorsed the anti-Israel progressive group IfNotNow, saying it is “amazing” and “organizing for justice.”
What really effective diplomacy looks like. If ISrael or the US supported this, they'd be accused of 'PIG-otry'
Liberals and conservatives differ on many issues. But they have always agreed that free speech must be preserved. While the left has never supported free speech, liberals always have. I therefore appeal to liberals to join us in fighting on behalf of America’s crowning glory – free speech.
The same kinds of sinister and clandestine figures that protected and concealed Nazis like Eichmann protected leftist anti-Semites within the Labour Party, across the UK.

When I hear the echoes of hatred as loud and as clear as the original voices, I see dead people.
It is high time for the pro-Palestinian groups on university campuses in the US, Canada, Britain and Australia to organize an "Arab Apartheid Week" instead of accusing Israel of "discriminating" against Palestinians. It is also high time for the international media to take notice of anti-Palestinian measures taken by Lebanon against the Palestinians at a time when Israel is increasing the number of Palestinian workers allowed to enter Israel for work.
The prime minister’s legacy isn’t so much his record tenure as his deft stewardship of Israel’s path to its place as a regional power, along with his staunch refusal to endanger his country.
If Democrats want the high ground against Trump, they must condemn radical supporters of the anti-Semitic BDS movement, as opposed to defending them.
People who excel in one thing are tempted to think they are smart about everything, but that is almost never the case. Rapinoe is a great soccer player. Other than that, she is unimpressive. She comes across as arrogant, a fool, and a lowlife.
The fight against anti-Semitism on college campuses must start by properly labeling Israel’s foes as purveyors of hate speech.
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.
More Torah is being studied on the continent than at any time since the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus.
Evidently, Palestinian leaders do not grasp that the Palestinian public cares a great deal more about being treated like human beings by their own leaders than about anti-Israel and anti-US rhetoric.
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.
Call it Evangelicalphobia Left-wing Jews continue to complain about CUFI, but at a time of rising anti-Semitism, these friends deserve thanks—not contempt rooted in prejudice.
Although not one Democrat candidate used the term, every single one believes in open borders.
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.
Is it too late to resurrect it? The Europeans and Democrats want to return to the 2015 nuclear deal. But the real danger would be if Iran were let off the hook, not the threat of war.
When everyone is Hitler, no one is Hitler

Aliyah to Jerusalem must continue and increase, all efforts to Islamicize Jerusalem must be firmly rebuffed, and Israel must assert its sovereignty throughout united Jerusalem in every way.
Nationalism is beautiful when it involves commitment to an essentially decent nation and when it welcomes other people’s commitment to their nations. Nationalism is evil when it is used to celebrate an evil regime, when it celebrates a nation as inherently superior to all others, and when it denigrates all other national commitments.
The decision of six Arab states to attend the Bahrain conference despite the Palestinian boycott call shows that the Arabs have chosen to endorse a new direction – one that will leave the Palestinians to fend for themselves in a hell of their own making. For their choice to thumb their noses not only at the US but also at influential Arab states, the Palestinians are likely to emerge as the biggest losers.
Did your son or daughter (or niece or nephew, grandson or granddaughter) return home from college more, less, or equally...?
The Israelis who live in Trump Heights will not be wealthy. They will have few luxuries. But they will be determined.
“It’s not just that people are going to think that fake things are real, but that they will think that real things are fake.”
“Every round of violence, in which the results are not a clear-cut IDF victory is, in the eyes of Israel’s enemies, another nail in the coffin of the Zionist entity.” - Veteran war correspondent, Ron Ben Yishai, June 1, 2019.
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.
We understand now that, come what may, fear of the left is far greater than familiarity with us, and that most of our potential voters need to hear from us that their vote will not lead to the establishment of a leftist government.
Until Americans stop allowing the left to ask the questions, we will have no intelligent answers to the rise of mass shootings in America.
New York City’s “Celebrate Israel” is an apolitical gesture of love for the Jewish state. Yet some leading left-wing Jewish groups now refuse to participate.
It is now time for Israel to complete this mission and rebuild the ruins of the four former Jewish communities that were so unjustly dismantled. Let Homesh, Sa-Nur, Ganim and Kadim rise again from the rubble!
The endeavor to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by economic means not only shows a grave defect in understanding its underlying causes, but inverts the causal relationship that generates & sustains it.
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).
A real one. I'm putting myself up for election again, and there'll be open primaries again for the list. This is the real deal.
The huge investments made in defensive systems are slowly emerging as an exorbitant and costly failure—or at best a very partial and temporary success. The time has come to rethink Israel’s strategic paradigm.
But today, to send your child to college is to play Russian roulette with their values. There is a good chance your child will return from college alienated from you, from America, from Western civilization and from whatever expression of any Bible-based religion in which you raised your child.
It is hardly a surprise that this era has been described as “the post-truth era.” In this post-truth world, Ilhan Omar can claim she is not anti-Semitic in the slightest – and be believed. Rashida Tlaib can make insanely unbelievable claims about Palestinian Arabs offering “refuge” to Jews fleeing the Holocaust, and any attack on her is declared Islamophobic
Rashida Tlaib’s Holocaust comments after decades of a failed peace process demonstrate that Palestinians must understand the role their choices played in the tragedy
What has unfolded in Gaza should not really surprise anyone willing to face up to the inclement realities. After all, it was not only entirely foreseeable, but easily foreseen
Let’s be honest. How many shuls in your neighborhood celebrated Yom Ha’atzmaut this past week? There was a time, not too long ago, when 90 percent of shuls in America commemorated this awesome day… but now?
Will Philadelphia next remove the Liberty Bell? After all, it was commissioned by slave owners and inscribed with a verse from the Bible.

hTe end goal of these Temple Mount terrorists: to detach the Jewish People from the source of their national strength and history.
One is left wondering how any Arab leader would accept any peace plan with Israel when a mayor is being widely condemned and shamed for being caught on camera in the company of Israelis.
Any video defending America or Israel inevitably receives many negative responses. But no videos elicit the amount of contempt and mockery that videos defending religion, explaining the Bible, or arguing for G-d do. Why is that?
I firmly believe that a large segment of the population loved our ideas, but just weren’t ready to vote for us. Will they be ready to vote Zehut the next time around? I believe “yes” and here’s why...
If no people on earth existed other than the Israelis and Palestinians, Israel would still respond with “restraint.” Why?
By Daniel Pipes
Palestinian logic boils down to blackmail: You Israelis are rich, strong, and happy, so we will make you miserable unless you give us or give us access to more money. It's weird, it's sick
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas understood that he had made a grave error in calling out his Arab brothers for their tightfistedness. This was a massive mistake because his Arab brothers do not tolerate any form of criticism. For them, Abbas should only be criticizing Israel and the US.
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
Spare us the false analogies and crocodile tears shed for the Six Million by those who support anti-Semitism and the war on the Jewish state.
Why aren’t most American Jews troubled by the Times’ cartoon? Why were all American Jews horrified by the anti-Semitic shootings at the California synagogue this past weekend, while most barely had their feathers ruffled by the anti-Semitic cartoon in one of the most influential media in America?
All that was needed was a self-declaration and a woman’s wig. He was all set! In fact, he could have self-identified as a woman on Monday and re-self-identified as a man on Tuesday. My advice to him is to hold on to the wig. You simply never know these days whom you might feel like being when you wake up in the morning.
Hamas and other Palestinian terror group consider Israel one big settlement that needs to be annihilated.
Matzah is also a symbol of Jewish resistance and faith, one that was sanctified down through the generations by the sacrifices made by countless Jews to observe the precept even at times of national calamity.
The symbolism of the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral, the most renowned building in Western civilization, is hard to miss. It is as if G-d Himself wanted to warn us in the most unmistakable way that Western Christianity is burning – and with it, Western civilization.
When I was asked during the campaign how such diverse elements could support Zehut, I explained that the unifying factor was an aspiration for liberty, the will to get the state out of our lives.
The willingness of major groups and denominations to try to undermine the choice of Israel’s voters calls into question their belief in and respect for democracy.
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
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.
It’s nice that this hero’s greatness is finally being recognized by all segments of Israeli society, but the notion that he has somehow become an avatar of today’s left-wingers is bunk.
According to the logic of the PA, the conflict started when Israel fired back. The PA leaders are afraid to condemn the rocket attacks on Israel. They evidently do not want to be accused by their people of betraying the Palestinian "resistance" against Israel.
The left is also the Western home of contemporary anti-Semitism. There are individual anti-Semites across the political spectrum, but the incubator of modern anti-Semitism is the left. The left has rendered Zionism, the oldest national movement in history, a vile insult.
A vote for the Zehut liberty coalition is a vote for a just, ethical, prosperous, better society – a state in which economic bullying is not an option, and the fruits of economic growth will reach all the citizens and not just a handful of insiders
In issuing his recent presidential decree, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, President Donald followed the commendable policy pattern he has set...of not following the policy patterns set by his predecessors.
{Originally posted to the Gatestone Institute website} Palestinians appear finally fed up with the apartheid and discriminatory laws they have been subjected to in Lebanon in the past few decades. They appear fed up with the ongoing apathy towards their plight in the international community and media. They also appear fed up with the international […]
To understand the origins of Rep. Omar or Rep. Tlaib’s anti-Semitism, look to the Merah family.
If Israel is forced to send soldiers into Gaza, it should only with a single, clear goal: Absolute defeat of Hamas and restoration of the pre-Oslo situation in Gaza. Absolute defeat – not a half-hearted skirmish.
If you always doubt a leftist claim, you will almost always be closer to the truth. Name the issue and you will likely find a left-wing lie.
In overturning a previous decision of the Knesset’s Central Elections Committee, the High Court took another giant step towards further undermining the already dwindling public confidence in the Israeli judiciary.
Tell your children from the day they understand language that you care far more about their character than about their grades or what college (if any) they go to. Only then will you have a child you can brag about.
Subsuming anti-Semitism under general, bland, catch-all anti-racist wording is a typical Corbyn and British Labour tactic. Instead of condemning the racist Omar, the reworded motion turned her into the victim. Still, the situation here is not as bad as in the UK – yet. It could get that bad very soon.
If you are grateful to be an American, you are, by definition, not a leftist.
Clearly, the group of soiled generals that has gathered around Gantz is not exactly my cup of tea. But Netanyahu and his group have no new message, either. I came from the Right, I am loyal to this land and Jewish identity is part of my soul. But I will join whoever will make it possible for me to advance my platform in the best way.
By Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
The question of who owns which land in Jerusalem, and where Arabs or Jews will build and expand, has significance well beyond the borders of the city or even the country
The Ilhan Omar debacle in the House illustrates that the next Israeli government will be just as dependent on AIPAC and the Republicans as the current one.
The two-state paradigm’s deadly detriments are now so glaringly apparent that it is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile calls for Palestinian statehood with genuine concern for the well-being of the Jewish nation-state.
In the world of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, the only "good" journalists are those who report negatively about Israel.
