If the Biden administration persists in its policy of appeasement towards Iran, according to these commentators, not only is the US unlikely to see peace and security in our time, but it could end up losing all its friends and allies in the Arab world.

The transgender pronouns, diversity training, and lesbian wedding ads aren't working.
Which policies will Yair Lapid choose to adopt during his time as PM? Here are my nine “landfills” — policy suggestions for the period in which Lapid fills-in for Bennett.
The Arabs are saying that they expect the Biden administration to reverse its stance on the mullahs and act in accordance with reality: that Tehran poses a catastrophic threat to America's allies – all of its allies, Arab and Israeli alike – in the Middle East.
The whole issue is saturated with irony. With regard to men and women, most of what feminism fought for has hurt women and benefited men.
International agreements involving the abdication of strategic assets in exchange for vague 'assurances' of future support are not worth the paper they are written on
Beware false election narratives from both the left and right. Do not let radical electioneering disfigure a noble reality. Israel continues to be a free, enlightened, creative and exciting place.
“I was fired from my team… because I raised the alarm about a cult within Google.”
As radical leftist ideologies set society on fire, what’s needed is an intellectual debate about whether classical liberalism or a rediscovered conservatism provides the answers.
Order is composed of distinctions. Natural order was dependent on the distinction between night and day and land and sea, and moral and social order was dependent upon the distinctions listed above.
As some join in Juneteenth commemorations, the question is not whether to oppose racism but how adopting the narrative of “white privilege” legitimizes racialist ideas and anti-Semitism.

The districts were skewed so that Democrats could create a deeper foothold with their majorities and bury Republicans for decades to come.
Globalists were wrong. The world isn’t flat.
Jordan seeks to influence the Biden administration to ice the Abraham Accords in favor of the Palestinians. That would be a mistake. Expansion of the accords can only improve, rather than impede, prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. The accords need not “sideline” the Palestinians if the Palestinians don’t sideline themselves.
Hamas's ongoing efforts to raze entire villages in the Gaza Strip is seen by many Palestinians as.... part of widespread corruption in Hamas, whose leaders want to seize lands for their personal use.
The problem is that these new Jews, these frum Jews are different in every way to the ones that came before. These Jews look Jewish; in fact too Jewish and for many, that is a problem.
Opposition to the targeting of Jews by mainstream Democrats was a rejection of anti-Zionist extremism. But the real problem is this effort’s roots in critical race theory and intersectionality.
In feminist Newspeak (Orwell's term for the totalitarian redefining of language), when applied to women, "strong" means "easily offended," and "perceiving oneself as a victim."
“When I see what happened to Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks… that could be me.”
President Biden should not come to the Mideast without a useful agenda that includes truly confronting Iran.
Were it not for many well-intentioned people who believed in communism, the truly evil people who implemented these genocides might not have come to power.
Having an Arab party in the coalition should have silenced the “apartheid state” lie. It just proved again that Israel’s enemies don’t care what it does; they just want it dead.
Confronting the forgotten history of Muslim occupation of Israel.
Liberal Jews and their politicians are vanishing.
People may not believe in evil, but evil believes in them
Two years after the moral panic set off by the death of George Floyd, American Jews need to confront the way the BLM movement and the ideologies that underpin it enable hatred of Jews.
Despite the impulse to blame Netanyahu and the usual targets of left-wing scorn, the real answer is the growing popularity of theories like intersectionality that sanction anti-Semitism.
One of the reasons the conflict with the Palestinian Arabs has dragged is that Israel has failed to conceptualize the conflict accurately.
As noted earlier, this was not only a hate-filled speech; it was a speech of the Big Lie. The Big Lie of white supremacy as a major threat to America generally and to black America specifically.
A few weeks ago disaster struck, Elon Musk bought Twitter and started tweeting several patently obvious truths, like the fact Twitter has a clear Leftist bias and many others.

Whoever wins that race will have to battle it out again in November under the newly adopted district lines. The newly drawn district runs from the Massachusetts border to Ithaca, taking in nine counties and parts of two others.
… the tough get going. When this country is under attack, Israel’s friends need to be more determined than ever to defend it.
Will the Biden administration will continue with its benighted policy of appeasing the mullahs or heed the insistent wake-up calls of America's real allies?
Israel has good reason to fear that Abdullah and Biden are cooking-up an attempt to impose new pro-Arab “arrangements” on the Temple Mount, with Biden coming to Israel in late June to ride herd on this issue. Note: King Abdullah has no claim to “custodianship” over Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
As the Biden administration continues to bring executive incompetence to yet unplumbed depths, any fair-minded person must feel increasingly compelled to question the authenticity of the 2020 poll
The world knows only how to criticize and demonize Israel. What a shame. But at least Jews should know and appreciate Israel’s humanity. On Yom Haatzmaut, we can all add this to our calculations of kevod shamayim and kiddush Hashem (the glorification of G-d’s name in the world) that has been wrought by the State of Israel.
When the will of 2% of the country is imposed on the other 98%.
The simmering conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia over the construction of a massive dam could have grave ramifications
The great irony in this instance is that the Left labels as an act of hate a man giving a speech titled “Creating Moral Leaders in Children” at a religious Jewish institution.
Most of the world’s sympathy lies with the little guy in this fight, but Ukraine has shown itself on the battlefield not to be so little after all.
One need not be a fan of LibsofTikTok to realize that the decision of a major pillar of the media establishment that is owned by a Big Tech oligarch like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to target a private citizen in this way is a deplorable escalation of our political culture wars. That it also carries with it a touch of anti-Semitic incitement only makes it worse.

While Marine Le Pen is considered a threat to Jewish life, President Emmanuel Macron represents a centrist establishment that has failed to meet the challenge of Islamism.

Conspicuously absent from commenting on the Benjamin matter is Attorney General Letitia James and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, a former state Assemblyman.
In grand perspective, see how many benefits and blessings the Heavens have showered upon Israel! It enjoys a strong economy, coronavirus and political stability (at least for the past year), diplomatic and security heft, renewed Aliyah, national resilience that stems from faith, and global Jewish support.
A magazine conference not only failed to address examples of the media spreading lies, but it also gave a platform to those who spread it, including former Pres. Obama.
Western progressives are dissing rather than embracing the Abraham Accords. This is a tragedy
It is time for the Biden administration and other Western donors to start banging on the table and demanding an end to the poisonous campaign to delegitimize Israel and demonize Jews. Until that happens, we will continue to see Palestinians dancing and handing out candy because Jewish blood flows at their feet.
Its customer base isn’t kids. It’s messed up adults.
Leftists demand safe spaces for themselves but take them away from children.
Prior to 1948, debates about a Jewish state were common. Today, as a Chicago synagogue proclaims its hostility to Zionism, it means siding with those slaughtering Israelis.
The Bennett-Lapid government answered the desire of many Israelis for leadership that is neither radical left nor radical right. And it has real achievements.
Efforts to reform a body that traffics in anti-Semitism won’t work as long as tyrannies like China and Cuba remain members. The United States should leave and defund it, not try to fix it.
From a very early age, using a happiness scale of one to 10, I have never aimed to be a 10. I always assumed that those who experience 10s are also likely to experience threes.
Any war, anywhere, is always Israel's fault.

If the terror surge spreads elsewhere, the reason will be the normalization of anti-Israel hate and complacency about Islamist radicalism, not Jews bearing the burden of “white privilege.”

We are witnessing the crumbling of presumed alliances and the blurring of heretofore supposed friends and foes.
Israel seems to exist in two parallel, contradictory worlds. One is a false, hackneyed, out-of-date, and threatening universe where recalcitrant and violent Palestinian leaders are venerated, and admirable Israeli leaders are criminalized. The other universe is real, promising, forward looking, and stabilizing, and is marked by a peace dynamic that runs from Jerusalem to Dubai, Manama, Rabat, Cairo and Amman; and from Jerusalem to the most important leaders in the world.
The meeting in the Negev with officials from the Arab world is historic. But while helpful, these new allies don’t solve the problem created by Biden’s appeasement of Iran.
Putin pretends to be a loose cannon, but Trump can actually pull it off. Trump understands that Putin is bluffing and therefore he can be bluffed, which is why we wouldn't be dealing with this whole mess if 2020 had turned out differently.
Biden wants to protect every border except our own.
A combination of Holocaust minimization and exploitation, which quickly becomes inversion with the Ukrainians as the new Jews and the Jews as the apathetic people ignoring genocide.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides isn’t just out of touch with the reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He sees his job not as fostering good relations, but telling Israelis what they can and cannot do.
Instead, it Got a Smear Campaign From the Ukrainian Leader
Caught in the diplomatic and media crossfire caused by the Russian invasion, the disproportionate attention the Jewish state gets has many causes, but is also linked to anti-Semitism.
If the Left were concerned with what is in America’s interest, it would not advocate — and, under Biden, implement — policies to change America from an energy-independent country into an energy-dependent country.
Putin’s ally President Assad of Syria has repeatedly used chemical weapons in his country. This was the famous 2012, “Red Line” that Obama warned them not to cross and then did absolutely nothing about when they did.
It is even more absurd when one considers the countries Russia allegedly fears will invade them. Which one of their Western-border countries – Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine – is likely to invade Russia?
Erdogan needs to be handled cautiously and, yes, respectfully. He also needs to be cut down to size.
As far as Hamas is concerned, the weaker the US the greater are their chances of fulfilling their goal of replacing Israel with an Islamic state.
Part of the reason for the rush to re-enter a pact that will guarantee that Tehran gets a nuclear weapon is to put Iranian oil on the market. That’s a disaster for everyone.
Biden doesn’t want the invasion to go to waste, he wants to use it.
Legal proceedings are being carried out with scant regard for the law. In some cases, the law is blatantly disregarded; in others, factual evidence is ignored; in yet others, infractions are invented to fabricate charges. All cases have been approved by the courts.
Self-reliance is the key to security. Israelis must understand that they should avoid being put in a position where, like the Ukrainians, they must rely on fickle international sympathy.
Most Americans see themselves as protectors of the weak against bully nations. This is the first time in our lifetime that America has abandoned that role.
Prominent Arab political analysts, commentators and journalists are continuing to express fear about Iran's "expansionist" schemes in the Arab countries, especially Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. They say that they are worried that a return to the JCPOA would further embolden the mullahs in Tehran and the Iranian-backed terrorist groups.

When the Israelis liberated all of Jerusalem in 1967, they kindly allowed the tenants to continue living there. The Arab squatters took advantage of the Israeli beneficence, and many of them either stopped paying the ridiculously low rent asked of them, or built on the land illegally-- or both
Regulation is freedom; Freedom is authoritarianism.
The Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the second largest and hugely influential group in the Gaza Strip after Hamas, does not believe that the conflict with Israel is over Jerusalem, settlements, borders, checkpoints or Palestinian prisoners.
The leaders of Hamas and PIJ left scorched earth behind them and chose to lead luxurious lives in Doha, Istanbul and Beirut. Strangely, however, instead of hiding their faces in shame, they are calling from their gyms, jets, and jacuzzis for the Palestinians to pursue the fight against Israel.
Celebrities eagerly organized donations to free race rioters and criminals, but are unwilling to accept responsibility when the BLM fund they backed releases an assassin. The creator of "Hamilton," rappers, actors, and TV stars all donated.
With the Iran nuclear deal about to be restored, administration apologists claim that the problem is the former president’s fault. But the “experts” that blast him are wrong.
The choreography of history that brings various essential elements together at the right moment to provoke us to react and change, is one of the recurring themes of the story of the Jewish people.

New York City officials have squirreled away $1 billion in a rainy-day fund over the past two years, fearing a multi-billion-dollar budget deficit in the coming years.
Two new studies warn of radicalization among Arab Israelis and urge robust government action.
The depiction of a teacher who was fired by a synagogue for flaunting her anti-Zionism as a martyr to free speech illustrates the mainstreaming of hatred for Israel.
Under the current circumstances, the Biden administration is stating that it wants to facilitate Abbas' creation of another Arab dictatorship that suppresses public freedoms and sanctions torture and intimidation.
The problem isn’t that the person they hired to do outreach was a left-wing Twitter troll. It’s that ADL accepted intersectional ideology about racism and is dividing Jews along racial lines.
When censors pretend to be free speech activists.
Denying Islamic terrorism is the real delusion.
To most Americans the answer is clear: Thomas is cheating.
What Amnesty has done with this report is to bastardize, adulterate, and weaponize the principles of human rights to provide cover for Palestinian elites...

The governor maintains that wearing masks and getting booster shots is the main reason for the positive downward trend in hospitalizations.
The ADL’s idea of “Jewish Outreach” is an identity politics hire who spends her time castigating Jews for opposing critical race theory and intersectionality because of its inherent antisemitism.
As the idea of a “Jewish seat” once made clear, seeking diversity on the Supreme Court is defensible. But a process that is only about race and gender creates more problems than solutions.
