When Israeli voters next go to the polls, over what led to the grim events of Oct. 7, their choices must not be driven by uninformed rumor, ill-informed speculation, and misinformed emotion.
“The Israelis seemed oblivious to the fact that they are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation.”
Had Mr. Schumer told the truth, he would have said this: Israel’s being a pariah among the world’s nations tells us much more about the world’s nations than about Israel. Just as it did a mere two generations ago.
"This was not a State of the Union address, it was a fascistic campaign rally."
Schumer's 'Rabbi' is a J Street activist affiliated with anti-Israel groups
The administration’s efforts to spin attacks on Jerusalem that validate Hamas propaganda as a critique of the prime minister and his policies are an effort to appease the left.
We can’t rely on anyone else; we never could. Whatever we can do to create shalom and unity within our people, is what we have to do.
It is clear that the Palestinian clans will be required to play some role in the administration of the Gaza Strip after the war
“I never have felt scared to be a Jewish student on campus until last night”
Instead of good and evil, we now have a set of other moral categories: rich and poor, white and black, colonizers and colonized, strong and weak, oppressors and oppressed.
The expectation that the impact of the Oct. 7 attacks and a surge in antisemitism would prompt a shift in the way Jewish groups operate was probably misplaced.

"On the second floor, Louis and Fernando were held by armed Hamas terrorists"
While the current coalition is far from unblemished, things could be worse—and have been, recently.

Today, UNRWA maintains extensive office facilities in Jerusalem, including its local headquarters as well as the UNRWA Microfinance Department on Shlomo Zalman Shragai Street between Ramat Eshkol and Maalot Dafna, even as UNWRA does not recognize this area as Israeli Jerusalem.
In Kamala’s Jihad, I noted her long history of collaborating with Islamists and her pressure campaign on Biden to take more of an anti-Israel stance. After the Islamic mass murders of over 1,000 Israelis, Kamala returned to pushing “Islamophobia”. In the speech that he delivered three days after the massacres, she urged Biden to include […]
Netanyahu is trying to defeat Hamas. The administration’s efforts—and its fictional “doctrine”—seek to depose the Israeli prime minister and re-elect the president.
The revelation of ties between the U.N. aid agency and Hamas is a small part of the problem. The real issue is the purpose of the institution, which has always been to perpetuate the conflict.
To make matters worse for many Jews’ psyches, not only has the institution they most revere turned out to be a moral wasteland and the most congenial place for enemies of the Jewish people – and of the United States (but that is another story) – at the same time, the people whom many Jews have most feared, conservative Christians, have turned out to be the Jews’ most loyal friends.
So why does the media describe it as “among the deadliest… in history”?
"Any aid to Hamas must be conditioned with disarming its forces and returning all hostages"
The thought of massive numbers of demonstrators marching on America’s streets waving the chilling black flag of Al Qaeda and winning acceptance from the American government and people is beyond insane.
“When I heard the initial reports of Hamas’ attacks on Israel this past Saturday... my first reaction was ‘Good for them.'”
Pro-Hamas = Pro-Cancer.
By MARTIN SHERMAN The historical record bodes ill for initiatives to engineer a Pax Israeliana (an Israel induced peace) between Israel and its Arab adversaries.
"The Secret Service made no arrests associated with the march"
As shocking incidents pile up and surveys show prejudice growing, the way woke ideology grants a permission slip for Jew-hatred cannot be ignored.
What we’ve seen in Canada, as well as previously in the UK, is a political establishment dominated by leftists and in bed with Islamic terrorists.
“How many of y’all would come out on Christmas Day and ruin their Christmas?”
Whether the epidemic of anti-church/anti-state attacks are coordinated or spontaneous, they combine to achieve a common goal. They fracture the French nation and drive a wedge between good people on both sides of France’s religious racial/divide.
The president’s rhetoric continues to turn against the Jewish state, but as long as the military aid keeps flowing, his appeasement of anti-Israel Democrats won’t save Hamas.
An ugly, fringe phenomenon being falsely puffed up to "balance" the crimes of Hamas.
When wars are run by politicians, the end result is a defeat that comes from never really trying.
The vast difference between how Paul Kessler’s killing and the wounding of the Muslim men were treated is a microcosm of the political bias and media narratives.
Terrorist organizations across the world exploit the liberties and freedoms of democracies to bankroll their cruel operations, promote their evil agendas, and recruit the next generation of terrorists.
As American society and Americans individually become less religious, i.e., less Christian, the Jews become less significant.
6 days of truce, 3 dead and 11 wounded.
What the true origins of Hamas reveal about its nature.
Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error.
That’s what a “truce” with Islamic terrorists looks like.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan are as opposed to Hamas as they are to Israel.
If the Left actually cared about the things it claims to care about, it would be natural for it to side with Israel. But if the Left actually cared about those things, it would wave the American flag and condemn the Third World

Poll shows the vast majority of “Palestinians” supported the Oct. 7 massacres
When you make the wrong choice, you don’t save lives, you cost lives
Maybe Chicago should cease fire in its own streets?
Siding with Israel or Hamas has become a litmus test for the left of center. It evenly divides liberals from leftists. The dividing line is between human decency and ideology.
Wrecking Thanksgiving, like the family, womens' sports and Star Wars is just one of those things lefties do.
Israel had a clear moral case for taking out Hamas.
Tragically, when their utopian certainty finally dies, the pain and desolation the faithful face is pitiful.
When you think of terrorists in diplomatic, not military terms, you can't win.
The largest ever rally against Islamic terror.

It was the first pogrom in history that was proudly and brazenly documented by the same gleeful demons who committed it, with go-pro video cameras affixed to their heads.
The AP has put out its wire stories falsely claiming that only tens of thousands attended.
Where are the consequences?
What once was unthinkable is now moving to the center of mainstream thought
"You think they're ordinary people, trust me when I tell you they are everywhere," says Obama's "champion of change."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and those cheering for Hamas have the right to say what they want. But institutions should treat them the same way they would neo-Nazis or Klan members.
“We are here for the Jews, we came to kill them with knives and shoot at them.”
One of the reasons that the conflict with the Palestinian-Arabs in general and Gazan Arabs in particular, has dragged on for years, is that Israel has failed to conceptualize the conflict correctly
Mob was shouting, "Allahu Akbar", not "Praise Putin" or "Hail Ukraine".
Turning terrorism into a math problem never made any moral, logical or strategic sense.
The choice between Hamas and Israel is not complex. It is one between an Islamist tyranny and a democratic state, between a group whose Western ideology isn’t merely alien to Western thought but steeped in what can only be described as evil.
Whether in Gaza, on American streets campuses, or on the pages of “The New York Times,” they can’t understand why their war on Israel isn’t a universal guarantee of support.
It is probably the easiest conflict in the world to explain. It may be the hardest to solve, but it is the easiest to explain. "In a nutshell, it's this: One side wants the other side dead."
Hamas launched its attack on Israel because it does not see a difference between a Jew living in a West Bank settlement and a Jew living in a city inside Israel.
Either Moral Confusion or Hatred of Israel
The political rationale of the Gaza conflict can be mirrored in the inexorable logic of an almost mathematical algorithm—studiously ignored by Israel's policy-making echelons
Haim denied that any Israeli children had been kidnapped or any Israeli civilians were killed by Hamas! The interviewer was flabbergasted.
Take this Rosh Hashanah political-security quiz and prognosticate on the future for the Jewish new year. (My predictions are recorded at the bottom of the article.)
I authentically played the role of the 'Chutzie' and gently asked him if he did not feel any sympathy for international critics who pointed to the Supreme Court’s partiality and liberal activism?
The second reason is most liberals have chosen to believe that the Democratic Party is still the party of John F. Kennedy. They are fooling themselves
Western colonialists are somehow more evil than others.
Oslo is the root cause of today’s terrible epidemic of terrorist and crime shootings.
Israel is now home to some 60,000 migrants from Africa,
It is almost certain that the great majority of American high school and college students could not name five of the Ten Commandments (presuming they know what those are) or the names of two Shakespeare plays.
Terror deaths fell every year under Trump and rose every year under Biden.
There’s money for transgender hormones, not cancer treatments.
Past deeds of heroism are no justification for present acts of subversion
The U.S. State Department condemned recent comments by Itamar Ben-Gvir. But the real problem is not what the controversial cabinet member said; it’s support for a Palestinian right to terror.
The last time I saw so few cars on a Los Angeles freeway was in the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Apparently, many people were just as spooked as they were in 2020.
The authors of a disingenuous appeal to Diaspora Jews to intervene in the Jewish state’s divisive culture war are oblivious to the damage they are doing.
It’s as if terrorism were someone else’s problem with no relationship to anything that happened to America.
All that was over forty years ago in 1980. We were unaware that protecting our children then was an infinitely simpler task than it would be when they occupied the same roll for their four children in 2023.
