An effort to keep Otzma from running for the Knesset, as was the case with Kahane’s Kach Party in the past, raises questions about who has the right to seek office.
The charges against the prime minister set an unfortunate precedent in more ways than one. Here are four takeaways from the charges against him.
Why do so many black Americans, living in the freest country for all its citizens – and in the least-racist multiracial, multiethnic country in history – want to believe America is racist?
Both sides, Netanyahu and Gantz and Lapid, are not my points of reference. Zehut stands on its own merit with its own platform and true loyalty to the Land of Israel and not to the bloc.
In other words, the Center is a mishmash of ideas with a little bit of everything, which is intended to appeal to everyone while satisfying no one. It is a clutter of clichés and nothing more.

To truly understand the concept of the Jewish people being the 'Chosen people,' one can only see the eternal nature of our people through our collective refusal to abandon Torah, though much of the nation has assimilated throughout history.
The Trump administration must persuade the Arab states to abandon the Palestinians, and to continue focusing on the regional threat from Iran. If the US completes its pullout from Syria, Iran will successfully complete its long-desired "land-bridge" to the Mediterranean
The purported electoral appeal of the Blue & White line-up is that it includes 3 former IDF Chiefs-of-Staff, yet virtually invariably when top military figures have departed from their field of expertise (security) & ventured into one where they have none (politics), they have been disastrously wrong.
We use the word “chinuch” for education, but “chinuch” actually means to launch or inaugurate (see, for example, Tehillim 30:1). The word reveals the Jewish perspective on education: It is the launch of a life, setting a course for the direction life will take.
Individuals on both the left and right lie. Individuals on both the left and right tell the truth. And liberalism, unlike leftism, does value truth. But the further left one goes, the more one enters the world of the lie. Why does the left lie? There are two main reasons.
There has never been a leader like Netanyahu who is so beloved by his constituents even after he repeatedly slaps them in the face. So why should he change what is working so well?
To understand contemporary Israel, the Diaspora must ponder how the Palestinians reduced the once dominant party of government to a position of irrelevance.
It would seem futile to conduct yet another indecisive round of fighting, only to return to yet another tense and sporadically violent interbellum for several years—until the next major flare-up of fighting…
If the president had said, “All Americans can be proud of the fact that more women than ever now have the choice to work inside or outside the home,” that would be true. That is something I, too, would have cheered.
It seems the Palestinian leadership would rather see Iran continue to pose a threat to Arab countries than see peace between those countries and Israel. Several Arab countries appear completely fed up with the Palestinians.
Sometimes the longshot does win.
The founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews understood the importance of making alliances with people American liberals despised.
Having abandoned the Bible and religion – the sources of wisdom in America and the West – our society has become both dumber and meaner. One manifestation of our moral decline is how the country, thanks to the Democratic Party and the left, is getting meaner.
Despite claims to the contrary, the Palestinian-Arabs, territory and the fate of the Jewish settlements will permeate the agenda of the April agenda, lurking below and hovering above all other issues.
It is being reported that Zehut will receive four Knesset seats (see photo right). We have been saying all along that we will easily get past the voting threshold
Tom Brokaw was pilloried for urging immigrants to do a better job of assimilating. But he was right, and the success of the Jewish community is proof of it.
If, as Morris maintains, a peaceable two-state outcome is unattainable, and a one-state outcome will lead to a Muslim-majority tyranny, then a large-scale initiative for incentivized Arab emigration is the only policy that can preserve the Jewish nation-state
The willingness to justify abortion up until birth is taking us into a moral vacuum created more by politics than any legitimate concern for the rights of women. It’s one thing to say women must have a right to choose. But to assert that women or doctors should have a right to terminate the life of a 40-week-old fetus or a viable infant or even to contemplate the death of an unwanted child born alive despite an attempted abortion is to lead us down the path to a moral abyss.
Zehut is talking about the free market, legalized cannabis, the voucher system. It also is the only party that comes with a real one-state solution.
Hebron proves that if there is to be peace between Israel and the Palestinians, foreign observers aren’t the solution
Rock-throwing has always been depicted as a harmless act of symbolism used by the powerless, but after an alleged settler attack, it’s time to agree that it’s an act of terror.
Once inconceivable, the dismantling of UNRWA; the naturalization of stateless Palestinian residents in Arab countries; and the emigration of Palestinians from Judea-Samaria & Gaza are slowly emerging as realistic outcomes
Without “traditional masculinity,” civilization is lost. Ask anyone you know who agrees with using the term “the greatest generation” to describe the generation that fought World War II whether the men of that generation would have fought, much less won, without “traditional masculinity.”
For Gantz, a dead IDF soldier is better than a photo of a destroyed hospital. The farcical Chief of Staff said that to the best of his knowledge, no Gazan civilians were hurt. But a Golani soldier was.
The attempt to tie the civil-rights movement to the war on the Jewish state is based on lies.
As a rule, on entering Israeli politics, senior military and security figures have played a troubling role, which has—almost uniformly—proved disastrous, both for the country and/or for themselves.
Israel’s economic integration into the region is proceeding nicely without a resolution to an unsolvable conflict with the Palestinians.
“I remember my dad tried to make me Jewish and failed, the local rabbi tried to make me Jewish and failed, my Jewish friends tried to make me Jewish and failed. It took the leader (Corbyn) of the Labour Party to do that.”
Bibi has to go because he turned Israel into a society whose whole is smaller than the sum of its parts.
Truth has never been a leftist value. For the left, there is always something more important. In this case, it is the humiliation of the president of the United States.

The mall, however, has already drawn Fatah boycott calls as well as several Arab-hurled firebombs.
We have come to assume that, like the weather, all we can do in the face of European hatred of Jews is to shrug and move on with our lives.
If the “New Right” is to really advance “Right wing” causes, it must abandon schemes that lead to the Lebanonization or Balkanization of Israeli society & work towards legitimizing the idea of incentivized emigration of the Arab population of Judea-Samaria
These Aliyah stories and others like them, such as the Prisoners of Zion who stood up to the Soviet Union and demanded freedom, deserve more than just being commemorated in books, stamps or newspaper articles. A national museum of aliyah, rich in videos, personal stories and artifacts, could serve as an invaluable tool for strengthening the nation's commitment to encouraging and absorbing future immigrants.
Rashida Tlaib’s dual-loyalty smear demonstrates why American Jews, who are the real target of the BDS movement, need to speak up.
From the French Revolution to this day, the two great aims of the left have been promising utopia to the malcontented and accumulating as much power as possible. All moral values are subservient to these goals
Don’t let the headlines that will be forgotten tomorrow demoralize you today. Zehut is preparing a surprising campaign and from our lowest opening point we will finish this campaign, with God’s help, with a huge surprise
“New York Times” editor seeks not merely to distort the debate about anti-Semitism, but to resurrect a failed attempt to abandon Jewish peoplehood.
One cannot but think that if another country treated Jews, wearing “kippot” and “peyote”, the way Jewish minors, accused of “terror” are treated in Israel, it would surely be engulfed in a wave of outrage and condemned for blatant anti-Semitism
The need for Churchillian leadership in today's Israel.
From the French Revolution to this day, the two great aims of the left have been promising utopia to the malcontented and accumulating as much power as possible. All moral values are subservient to these goals
Clearly, Israel needs to do more to attract aliyah, especially when so many potential immigrants are increasingly considering the possibility of emigrating from the lands of their birth.
By Daniel Pipes
Muslims show increasing indifference to the breakdown in Palestinian-Israeli diplomacy, but Leftists express growing anger over it. Thanks to a mix of Palestinian public relations expertise and continued antisemitism, the welfare of this small and powerless but fanatical population has transmogrified into the premier global issue of human rights
After a year of division, it’s time for Jews on both sides of the blue-red divide to be willing to take on their allies.
Is there any hope for the Jewish supporters of the BDS movement? Is there any hope that, against all odds, many – or some, or perhaps a few – will abandon the Dark Side, that old special hatred to which they’ve allied themselves?
Our rightist government managed to knock over an inside wall with tweezers as the family of the terrorist looked on and laughed. Yet, the same government displayed amazing perseverance and thoroughness when it came to destroying entire Jewish neighborhoods because somebody there built one meter of his home on ownerless land.
If the “West Bank” was part of the “Hashemite Kingdom” up to 1967, how did it suddenly become the Palestinians’ long-yearned-for homeland which, up until then, they were submissively willing to cede to an alien potentate?
By Daniel Pipes
Many of Trump's Israeli and Zionist admirers, including Evangelicals, will be rudely shocked by his proposal and lash out further weakening the conservative movement and diminishing Trump's chances at re-election.

The war between committed Jews and Hellenists is never over. It is a lifelong war until the arrival of the true Jewish Moshiach, who will be a man of flesh, and not some reincarnated composite of ancient pagan religions
There is no greater irony than the spectacle of scores of ex-senior security officials, who spent their adult life defending Israel, now promoting a political initiative that will make it indefensible.
Where are all the international human rights organizations and pro-Palestinian groups around the world that feign concern for the suffering of the Palestinians?
Almost every left-right disagreement in American life can be explained by the brain-mind conflict. The brain is led by what feels good, the mind by what does good. And leftist positions feel good. But is that reasonable?
There is no need for fear; cannabis is not harmful like cigarettes and not addictive like alcohol. It will certainly not be harmful if it is sold in an orderly fashion in drug stores.
What’s more important? Holding murderers accountable or preventing murder? An effort to weaken U.S. anti-terror legislation for the sake of funding the Palestinian Authority raises difficult questions about competing interests.
Why are French “yellow vests” protestors attacking the Jews?
Hamas and its allies are openly working and encouraging the eruption of a new anti-Israel uprising in the West Bank, and they have been emboldened by the recent failure of the UN General Assembly to adopt a US-sponsored resolution condemning Hamas and other Palestinian groups for firing rockets at Israel and inciting violence.
Even if only one percent of this story is true, the government should fall and all the commanders responsible for this horror should go to jail.
The elected congresswoman’s Jewish possible ancestors shouldn’t be a problem for anyone. But the idea that her leftist stands are somehow authentically Jewish is troubling.
It is supposedly fine for Mahmoud Abbas and his officials to condemn Hamas on a daily basis. It is supposedly not fine, however, for the US administration to condemn Hamas for its terrorist attacks against Israel.
Jewish foes of Israel want to redefine Jew-hatred in order to give anti-Zionists a pass. Decent people on the left and the right shouldn’t let them get away with it.
Behind the scenes machinations of whether Israel will have early elections, and who will lead the nation; plus stirring the"pot"
By Donny Fuchs
The refusal of too many Jews to see (for one reason or another), the naked agenda of many of these missionizing groups is indeed maddening--consider “Hayovel Ministry”
Sadly, we don’t live in an age of reasonable people. Lots and lots of people want to be offended. They relish it. It allows them to express their moral outrage and superiority.
There is no difference between Netanyahu and Bennett, except for the mental dependence of the latter upon the former.
A warning well-worth heeding by a feminist who regrets her choices
Islamic terrorists constitute the world’s eighth largest military.
Jewish victory over the adversarial Arab collective must be Israel’s overriding moral & operational concern. Facilitating its achievement should be the overriding challenge for Israel’s legal establishment
By Donny Fuchs
The morality of Torah is eternal and the laws of war as set down in halachic writings applies today, despite those new heretical “intellectual” voices who differentiate between laws of Shabbat (those still apply) and laws of warfare (representing as they see it, an outdated code which is immoral by today’s standards). God forbid to subscribe to such heresies.
Palestinians are moving on 3 levels to thwart Trump's upcoming plan: rallying worldwide support for the Palestinian position against the plan, uniting all Palestinians, and opposing attempts to normalize relations between the Arab countries and Israel.
In America today, the greatest fear is fear of the left
The renewed US sanctions on Iran are good news, however, for many Arabs and Muslims who feel threatened by Tehran's actions and rhetoric. Iran has long been systematically working towards undermining moderate Arabs and Muslims in the region.
Why a country that never enforces the death penalty is considering a law to make it easier to execute terrorists.
the failed formula of self-rule for Gaza must be set aside—since any obstinate insistence on it will only continue to exacerbate the current situation and extend the misery it precipitates—for Arab and Jew alike.
Numbers don't lie--some people do, about age and/or GENDER
The prime minister’s refusal to seek a final reckoning with Hamas generated criticism. But his decision to avoid war was sound policy.
Radical freshmen in the House will make noise while veterans preserve the alliance.
By Donny Fuchs
The Torah grants us the obligation to preserve life. The gun is merely a tool to deal with the cruel. Attempts to remove guns from the hands of decent people, ensures more dead Jews. In the case of self-preservation, and the preservation of Jews, the Torah’s answer to anti-Semites with guns, is better guns, better training, and the preemptive ability to put one in a Jew-hater’s lung before he takes another breathe.
The security of the world’s only Jewish state is by far the greatest security issue for world Jewry. Yet many left-wing Jews attack Israel, support many of those who wish to destroy Israel, or, at the very least, do nothing to strengthen Israel’s security.
