Trump’s win threatens the template of “democracy” long promoted in mainstream media by exposing the abysmal failure of American journalism, specifically its inability or refusal to report objectively.
By imprudently accepting the idea of Palestinian statehood, Netanyahu gravely limited the freedom of action needed for official diplomatic effort to rebuff adversarial diplomatic moves against Israel
The purported “peace process” is nothing more than war, simply being fought with different methods. The result is success for the enemy and our loss of land, legitimacy and internal demoralization.
The impending destruction of Amona reflect failure of political will and ideo-intellectual bankruptcy of the elected government rather than the inevitable culmination of a legal battle.

Is the Regulation Law an historical achievement? Or is it a farce? My head says it is a major achievement. My heart, however, is telling me just the opposite.
Oslo failed not because Israelis built homes and schools across pre-1967 lines, but because Palestinian-Arabs blew up Israeli cafes, buses and malls inside those lines.
If Israel didn’t receive American aid, would it buy U.S. F-35 jets? Should it? This deal has given us an air force on a leash.

Last week’s fires did little to illuminate much of the unknown still shrouding another conflagration that flared up, almost a year and a half ago in Duma, an Arab village.
The storm brewing in Israel over its purchase of 3 German submarines is not about the subs at all. It is about the obsession to find a scandal – at any price – that will depose Netanyahu.
By Donny Fuchs
Trump’s victory offers the US a legitimate chance to right a sinking ship, and turn back the clock on Obama’s 8-years of Bolshevism. If nothing else, Trump’s victory means that Hillary isn’t president

By Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
Though no one can be sure how a President Trump will react to any given situation, "it is generally understood that whatever we don't do in the coming two months might not be able to be done later."
The losing side has identified the real culprits for Hillary’s defeat. It was not, of course, anything she did wrong. It was the FBI (previously adored for dismissing her e-mail scandal) and…Facebook!
Israel must credibly convey that support for unilateral Palestinian statehood will not be a cost-free decision for whoever acts to effect it – or fails to foil it.

The Met’s exhibit, “Jerusalem 1000-1400: Every People Under Heaven” focuses on “a city of fascinating complexity – home to many cultures, faiths, and languages” Despite UNESCO claims, including Jewish
When I heard the crowd cheering for Trump's then-small victory, I sensed the beginning of a backlash against the post-modern identity grinder that we have been witnessing for the last three decades
For America, and everything that made it America, the results of Tuesday’s election are a welcome and necessary respite - but are far from being a lasting redemption
Sadly, the most consequential elections in modern history may well be decided because of the most inconsequential reasons
Israel is facing two Palestinian camps: Hamas does not want to make peace with Israel because it believes Israel ought not to exist, and Fatah can't make peace with Israel because it is too weak
Which candidate will be good for Israel, Trump or Clinton? Any president who meets an Israeli leadership that is good for Israel will also be good for Israel.
By Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
Why do the Jewish ties to Jerusalem, Hebron and Nablus (Shechem), all 3 duly purchased, draw the most vociferous objections? Because the enemy knows our holy sites are the key to the entire struggle
By presenting the divide between Trump & the post-Obama surrogate, Clinton, as an “America vs Europe” one, Condell understates the true nature of the dichotomy
We may differ in the cultures from whence we hail, but we Jews all descend from Avraham, and inspire our countries to adopt a more ethical way of doing things. An Avraham Avinu way of doing things
B’tselem is not a human rights organization but a politically partisan group for which “human rights” are a pretext for advancing its radical political agenda—Israeli withdrawal
As opposed to other politicians, Netanyahu understands the real debate is not over the 1967 borders; not even over the 1948 Partition Plan borders. The real debate is over the Balfour Declaration
By Sara Lehmann
Like everything else about Trump, his foibles seem outsized. They are not, merely tolerated by blind devotion; they augment the urgency of his message.
Despite the talk of the unprecedentedly close intelligence and military cooperation between Israel and the US, a case could be made that the Obama administration is—intentionally or otherwise—laying the foundations for Israel’s demise.
The demise of Shimon Peres unleashed a tidal wave of mendacity & hypocrisy underscoring the dominance the delusional dictates of political correctness have over political discourse in (and on) Israel
Shimon Peres symbolized something. He created a language and mentality that have determined the mindset and behavior of Israel and, in great measure, the entire Western world for the last 25 years.
By Donny Fuchs
As Jews we differ from "Indigenous peoples" because our conquests of Eretz Yisrael were Divine mandated and that is our sole, and unbeatable, claim to Israel.
Which Peres do we mourn? The dour hawkish Peres, who got it right? Or the internationally-acclaimed dovish Peres, who got it disastrously wrong?
I think ordinary Americans are tired of too many media types and too many elected officials assuring them they have nothing to worry about, when they clearly know they do.
Obama’s UN address was an eloquent concoction of soaring rhetoric & banal platitudes, of statements of the obvious & of the obviously false, delivered with impeccable polish and panache.

Philanthropist and Israel lover Kevin Bermeister: "We are in a generation that can turn Jerusalem into a city of the world, our goal is to preserve Jerusalem as Jewish, united, and large."
Netanyahu is right to excoriate Palestinians demand to purge Jews as ethnic cleansing, but what are the perils entailed in them dropping that demand?
When the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11, the entire idea of the modern nation-state collapsed to the call of Allah Akbar emanating from the cockpit just a second before the impact that shook the world.

Stunningly, power exerted by the hate-filled propaganda of the Palestinian Authority easily overcame simple historic truths and traditional ties of friendship between Israel and other countries.

Amalek is not some antiquated notion of a long gone brutal enemy. Amalek exists today, as the Torah states, Amalek exists in every generation. The pressing question is evident: Who is Amalek?
Annexation of Judea-Samaria together with its Arab population, will culminate in Lebanonization of Israel and the end of the Zionist dream—as surely as the two-state paradigm it was meant to replace
Both of them, former PM Ehud Barak and present PM Binyamin Netanyahu, are the greatest security catastrophes that Israel has ever known.
Under international law, which also happens to be part of the law of the United States, ALL Palestinian terrorists are hostes humani generis: "Common enemies of humankind."

Today, missionary groups operating in Israel are ambitious, clever, and well-organized, and they are aided by religious Jews (for reasons of naiveté, ambition, etc.) who unlocked many doors for them.
By avoiding confrontations in which Israel can win, Israeli governments risk backing the country into a confrontation which it cannot win.
Scottish Police threatened to arrest anyone waving Palestinian flags during the Hapoel Be’er Sheva/Glasgow Celtic. match. There were not a few flags – there were hundreds. And the police did nothing
True peace with Israel’s enemies is not a territorial issue. It's deeper than that. If we fail to connect to our identity, they will continue to see us as a foreign entity in the Land. Justifiably so.
Hamas's decision to participate in the upcoming local and municipal elections will further strengthen the movement and pave the way for it to extend its control from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank.
Despite my personal bias in favor of Former Defense Minister,Moshe “Bogy” Yaalon, I must confess that I have been disturbed, disappointed and, at times, even dismayed at some of his recent decisions
By Hillel Fendel and Chaim Silberstein / KeepJerusalem.org
Historically, and in 1967, when the Old City and environs were liberated, the same trend continued: new neighborhoods to the west, north, and south. What of the east? Today, we go East!
The state’s ardor to limit the amount of licensed guns in public hands has nothing to do with protecting citizens, rather it stems from its natural will to amplify its power at the public's expense
For those who subscribe to progressive liberal values of pluralism and tolerance, who is nuts: Those who support the establishment of a self-governing Palestinian entity--or those who oppose it?
By calling the election and allowing Hamas to participate, Abbas is digging his own grave, and presiding over the burial of any so-called peace process with Israel.
By Donny Fuchs
In yet another example of clichéd foolishness running amuck, the Jewish indigenous rights organization LAVI is now calling for Jews to support the racist “Black Lives Matter” movement.
There is every reason, both “concretely & in principle”, why Jews living in a Palestinian-Arab state, under Palestinian-Arab sovereignty is unacceptable
Supposedly, the goal of the state of Israel is to achieve peace but “peace” cannot be the defined goal of a state. Peace is the result of the proper definition and achievement of a goal
The existing situation affords a huge advantage to the bad guys and encourages crime.
With continuing unsolved arson attacks in Duma, seven months after a coerced confession & an indictment wildly at odds with eyewitness accounts, troubling questions must be raised.
So what is Israel? A state with an army? Or an army with a state?

We need more of the teachings of torat Moshe Rabbeinu, and less of the arrogance of Moshe Dayan; More of the glory of King David and less of David Ben Gurion’s 'Ghandi-esque' restraint.
The changes in the Republican platform are a welcome development, but they create new challenges for Israel & much depends on how it meets them
Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon have become in the past few decades bases for various innumerable militias and terrorist groups.
How to ascertain whether a society, culture, or philosophy is healthy and wholesome? How it treats Jews. If Jews fare well, so do others; when Jews start to leave a place, it is a bad sign for all
Incredibly, according to Israel’s “liberal” detractors, the only remedy for Israel’s “democracy deficit” is to establish yet another Muslim-majority tyranny.

How naked is the double standard-the Clintons beat the most egregious scandals when the common man would be incarcerated for life? Hillary should get a ball and chain, NOT the Oval Office.

An interview with Jason Greenblatt, chosen by Trump as an adviser on Israel, who is emerging as a positive and constructive force in his boss’s campaign.
From an Israeli long-term point of view, the “deal” between Israel and Turkey is incomprehensible.,Devoid of any logic on every imaginable level—national, ethical, security and even commercial.
But why does the Left hate Netanyahu so much – even though he is doing everything to make their policies come true?
By Donny Fuchs
Now is a time for intellectual zealousness for Hashem. Men of Torah need to face the new heresies and radical innovations, and intellectually combat the religious proponents of these foreign notions.
In his unrestrained and unjustified harangue, Barak did not balk even at inflicting severe harm on his country’s image and the government’s international credibility.
After Orlando, Pres. Obama denounced those who'd link the outrage to Islam. Should the US Muslims be under surveillance? he asked incredulously. Millions listened, rolled their eyes, and said “Duh!”
With changing patterns of Arab enmity, the major challenge to Israel’s existence as the Jewish nation-state is no longer repulsing invasion, but resisting attrition.
By Sara Lehmann
Israeli leaders have been too ready to cede to demands undercutting Israel’s sovereignty, thereby failing to protect their citizens. Each capitulation is met with increased terror,
