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who differentiate between laws of Shabbat (those still apply) and laws of warfare (representing as they see it, an outdated code which is immoral by today’s standards).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.

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.
There is something deeper that makes us partially responsible for what happened in Pittsburgh. Jewish history is being written today in the Land of Israel, and when Israel is sure of itself – when it strikes its enemies as it did in the Six-Day War or eliminates hijackers as it did in Entebbe – the level of anti-Semitism around the world decreases!
Trump is the creation of Obama. The divisions in American society he is accused of exacerbating are ones largely precipitated by his predecessor’s policies and prejudices
Ben & Jerry’s decision to fund a group whose leaders endorse Louis Farrakhan throws zero tolerance for hate out the window.
It is time for Israel to put an end to the institution of presidency. The office of the president does not unify the Nation; on the contrary, it deepens the rift.
All my life I have reminded fellow Jews in America that we are the luckiest Jews to have ever lived in a non-Jewish country. Even after the massacre of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue, this assessment remains true.
How an out-of-context comment from Israel’s chief rabbi about a Pittsburgh synagogue doesn’t need to widen the Israel-Diaspora divide.
The policy of trying to placate Hamas with enhanced humanitarian aid is sadly no less farcical than trying to convert a man-eating tiger into a cuddly bunny-rabbit by offering it a diet of premium carrots
Saudi money will never change the hearts and minds of Palestinians, especially regarding a peace agreement with Israel.
Many young men have been coddled by parents and by society. If you receive a trophy just for playing, why try to win? If self-esteem is given to you without having to earn it, why try to earn it? If the government will take care of you, why work hard? Anyway, ambition in men is probably now considered a form of “toxic masculinity.”
Scholar Ruth Wisse wrote, that anti-Semitism is the most successful ideology of the 20th century—a virus that morphed from fascism to Nazism to communism and then Islamism. The continuation of this trend in the 21st century has nothing to do with Trump, and everything to do with the fact that Jews remain a convenient scapegoat for extremists of all political and religious stripes.

Keep in mind that the "Muslim Quarter" was never exclusively Muslim; Jews and Christians used to live there as well. However, the Jews were compelled to leave their homes there in the wake of the 1929 Muslim riots. Finally, we are reclaiming it, one house at a time
Retreating from Gaza was a colossal mistake; fix it and restore the situation to what it was. Even if you do not get complete peace and quiet, and even if there will be problems, they will be minuscule compared to what we are facing now
Criticizing George Soros doesn’t necessarily make you a Jew-hater.
The cynically minded may be forgiven for suspecting that the prime goal of INSS’s newly launched plan is the demolition of Jewish communities, rather than the future resolution of conflict or enhanced Israeli security
By Daniel Pipes
One day, imagine, a U.S. president tells an Israeli prime minister: “Palestinian extremism damages American security. We need you to end it by achieving victory over the Palestinians.”
American Jews don’t know much about Benny Gantz, but they should acknowledge the collapse of the Israeli left.
The resignation of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley took the political world by surprise, but it’s likely that no one is more disappointed than supporters of Israel.

We hear how Arabs and Jews meet and greet and drink coffee. As I’ve noted before, the Jews of Hebron in 1929 also would have sworn that they had coexistence. Some of them also shared Turkish coffee with their Arab neighbors. And yet, their neighbors butchered them in 1929--and they did so again this past Sunday in the Barkan industrial zone.
while most liberals and conservatives abide by society’s rules of order and decency, most leftists do not feel bound to live by these same rules.
Now that we have returned home from our Sukkahs, let's remember those who have to homes to go to. Charity "may start at home" but let's extend it others without one.
If you allow legal debate over the morality of destroying the Jews – thereby drawing a question mark over the legitimacy of their existence – you immediately remove yourself from the parameters of legitimate discourse and turn the legal platform itself into a patently unethical mechanism.
Wilf seems oblivious to “pesky details” such as the murderous terror unleashed by the Palestinians, their Judeophobic indoctrination and Judeocidal incitement, as “grand obstacles to peace”
Dennis defends against the onslaught of criticism generated by his last column.
The Russian bear came to fill the vacuum in Syria, and Israel’s ability to defend itself is now dependent on Putin’s good will.
I am not interested in whether Mrs. Ford, an anti-Trump activist, is telling the truth. Because even if true, what happened to her was clearly wrong, but it tells us nothing about Brett Kavanaugh since the age of 17. But for the record, I don’t believe her story.
The potential impermanence of the positive measures already undertaken by the Trump team should not be the only reason for Israeli concern over the brewing “ultimate deal”
Israel's abundance is not reaching the places it should. It is being blocked by a million state workers, 20 ministerial offices that are extraneous, budget-based pensions, a bloated, ineffective army, truckloads of cash and free electricity to Gaza, and more
On Sukkos, we shake a lulav, esrog, haddasim, and aravos, symbolizing all Jews, from saints to sinners. We have to interact with all of them. Some may challenge us and even trigger anger and resentment, yet Hashem expects us, af al pi kein, to stand together.
The Left in Israel is behaving like a person who cannot accept that the object of his love has chosen another in his stead
The role of the president of the United States is first and foremost to be a good president. If he (or she) is a personal role model, that is a lovely bonus – but it is only a bonus.
Glick’s prescription for a “A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East” will jeopardize the Zionist enterprise no less than the two-state paradigm, which she rightly repudiates with great force and eloquence.
The architect of the Oslo Accords, Dr. Ron Pundak, explicitly admitted the entire purpose of the Oslo Accords was to make Israel a state of all its citizens instead of a Jewish state.
A trend towards High Holiday sermons about Trump or Netanyahu could set the tone for more political strife, even as a sense of Jewish peoplehood declines.
The left smears conservatives and tries wherever possible to prevent conservatives from speaking. Since leftists cannot debate conservatives, they have to smear them.

Let’s clear the table and tell the "narrative" as it really is: Jerusalem was chosen as the Jewish people's national and religious center before the dawn of organized religion. Other religions followed suit and declared it their own holy city – with catastrophic results during various periods of history.
So, if the need for meaning is the greatest of all human needs and religion,that which supplied meaning no longer does, what are millions of Westerners to do?
Even in this era of cynicism, honoring heroism and national service remains essential. Without it, the ideas that bolster America and Israel suffer.
Had Haaretz wanted to give a fair portrayal of my policy proposal, instead of alluding to “Transfer, the headline would have read “Evacuation-compensation for Arabs: An answer to Israel’s geographic and demographic imperatives?”.
In one sentence, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed the left’s true view of the US: “America…was never that great"
From Brooklyn to Britain, the writing is on the wall--Will you read it?
The key word for understanding all much of the world's madness is “identity.” We are experiencing a war against all identity and all essence. It is a world war, but here in Israel it is the most extreme.
The late Kofi Annan was personally respected, but his failures as U.N. Secretary-General explain why the institution remains a sad farce.
From recent reports on planned Israeli responses to events in Gaza, one might be excused for thinking that the late Shimon Peres had returned from the hereafter, reincarnated in the form of the allegedly hawkish Avigdor Liberman
The awful people who hit nurses do so because Israel, since its founding, has fostered a socialist culture that transfers all responsibility to the state--everyone competes for the attention of the system
Liberman’s appointment as Defense Minister ignited expectations of a qualitatively different approach to that of his predecessor—one discernibly more robust and resolute… Sadly, this was not to be
If support for the Jewish state is declining, it may have more to do with American Jews than the Israelis they claim to deplore.
Most of the IDF soldiers killed over the last few years were killed because the IDF prefers to protect the lives of a hostile population rather than the lives of its own soldiers. This is absolutely terrible.
Pope Francis, along with many other Catholic leaders is remaking Catholicism in the image of leftism, just as mainstream Protestant leaders, and non-Orthodox Jewish clergy and lay leaders have been rendering most non-Orthodox synagogues and lay institutions left-wing organizations.
how do we defeat an enemy that claims 'Jaffa is mine?' By answering,'Gaza is ours.' Historically, ethically, and according to our faith – it is ours alone. But as long as we are incapable of uttering this truth – as long as we remain pragmatic – their kites will continue to defeat our F-35s.
There is a world of difference between being active and being passive, between creating something and watching something, between doing something and being entertained.
Yishai talks about the love affair in Hebron.
The Kotel rock was a case of a stone meeting gravity. But it was also used as an excuse for Jewish score-settling while allowing the Palestinians to explain again why peace is not in sight.
Israeli security policy is driven by Arab enmity–not Arab ethnicity
Americans are living through the greatest mass hysteria in our history, that Pres. Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 presidential election and the absurdity that Trump works for Russian President Putin.
Next time someone asks, “But where will the Palestinians go??” give them this article and tell them about a straight swap on population transfer.
If the Trump administration is waving the white flag on its hopes for a fix to Gaza and an Israel-Palestinian peace plan, it’s a sign of realism, not amateurism.
Anger about the new nation-state law is misplaced. Concern over the rabbinate flexing its muscles and contempt for the Diaspora is not.
Israel will only be democratic if it is Jewish—and it will only be Jewish if it is Zionist. Therefore, it will only be democratic if it is Zionist i.e. if it is the nation state of the Jewish people
The most frequently-used description of America by those who advocate for large numbers of immigrants – those here legally or illegally – is “America is a nation of immigrants.” The statement sounds meaningful. But in reality, it’s meaningless. What else could America be? If no one had come to America from elsewhere, the North American […]
