Cannibis Must Be Legalized
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.
Anatomy Of Collapse (Conclusion)
The perfect implementation of the expulsion without significant opposition from the soldiers leaves the IDF Samson shorn and blinded.
A Miracle Staring Us In The Face
Ask 100 fellow Jews the following simple question; What’s the next Jewish holiday? Read the article and learn the SURPRISING answer
Why We Lost
I firmly believe that a large segment of the population loved our ideas, but just weren’t ready to vote for us. Will they be ready to vote Zehut the next time around? I believe “yes” and here’s why...
Temple Mount Closure And EU Boycott
The capitulation on the Temple Mount leads to the construction halt in Jerusalem.
The Investor’s Guide To Israel’s Political Market (Part I)
The 2013 Israeli elections were supposed to have been boring. The pundits promised that the final result is already clear and there is nothing new under the sun. However, with less than two weeks to go until the polls open, we are in the throes of one of the most fascinating election campaigns that Israel has known. It is a campaign that faithfully reflects the deep currents of change in Israeli society. Nobody can yet predict its final outcome.
Moshe Feiglin: Unethical to Endanger IDF Soldiers in order to Protect Gazans
The Gazans are now paying for the choices they have made.
Get Serious
A political tsunami is approaching, and the Jews in the land of Israel are fighting over total non-issues. If it weren’t so sad, it would be comical.
Muhammad’s Passion
The two religions that encompass most of humanity – Christianity and Islam – are both based on Judaism. That is why they hate it
Social Insecurity
More than any other reason, “social justice” killed Moshe Silman. Here’s why: Who confiscated his truck and for what purpose? Social security. After all, what is social security, if not the mechanism established by the state to ensure so-called social justice? It is an institution authorized to take from the “haves” and give to the “have-nots.” And from whom will the Institute for Social Justice take if not from the owner of a moving company? And to whom will it give the value of the truck? To the tycoons? Of course not. It will give the truck’s value to the have-nots, or to those who know how to hide what they have.
Medicinal Cannabis and Dr. Johnny
“Your father is finished, we’ve done all that we can,” they would say, adding, “Johnny. Talk to Johnny.”
The Road to Serfdom
Do we really need to be biometrically marked like animals just to counter the plague of forged identity cards?
Dynamite Doves? Blazing Butterflies?
When Israel recognized a foreign nation's supposed right to the land of Israel, it turned itself into a colonialist state and the terrorists who launch the rockets, mortars, and terror kites into freedom fighters.
Love Conquers All
Those afraid to take responsibility and create an essential alternative to lead Israel will always find themselves lobbying.
What Threatens Israel’s Media?
The main item on State Radio Channel 2's agenda recently was Channel 10's apology to Sheldon Adelson. Some background: A few months ago, Channel 2 News broadcasted a lengthy report accusing the billionaire founder of the pro-Netanyahu newspaper Yisrael Hayom, Sheldon Adelson, of illegally gaining rights to build a casino. The report turned out to be false and the station was forced to broadcast an apology. The media claimed that the Channel 10 stockholders, who feared financial repercussions by Adelson, coerced the staff to apologize. Karen Noibach also devoted precious airtime to performer Yehudah Pollicker. Israel Army Radio featured the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Afterwards, the two stations switched stories.
No Strings Attached
"He had recently become more religious," the reporters explained, as they described the second Jerusalem Muslim who attempted to use a bulldozer to murder Jews.
The Pita That Revived Terror
During the First Lebanon War, the IDF forced the PLO terrorists all the way to the Beirut port and then to Tunisia. The PLO, which had lost its stronghold in Lebanon, was shattered. Salach Taamri, the most senior and admired terrorist captured by the IDF, was imprisoned in the Ansar detention camp. He was a broken man.
The Conversion-Assimilation Seesaw
Why should the Rabbinate be involved in conversion? Because of the Law of Return, the foundation upon which the State was established. It is impossible to circumvent the interface between the determination of religion by an official religious body and Israeli citizenship
Gun Control? Or Citizen Control?
The right to defend oneself is a basic human right. But in Israel, it is not G-d Who gives him this basic human right to defend himself, but the State. And the State really does not want its citizens to bear arms.
The Submarine Brouhaha
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.
Jogging Against Terror
Terrorism seems to run in families. Should Israel expel terrorists’ families? They're ticking bombs
Get The Settlers
It is wrong to throw rocks at IDF soldiers. We must do all that we can to uproot this phenomenon. But the mad witch-hunt that raged recently has nothing to do with concern for and loyalty to the IDF.
Investor’s Guide to the Political Market
In a 12 year struggle, we have led the Religious Zionists deep into the ruling party. The Likud, in turn, gladly opened its gates wide.
Some Thoughts On Israel’s Housing Crisis
Who caused Israel's housing shortage? The Left. That sounds demagogic, but here's the reason why:
Stalling Tactics And The Dubai Solution
Now that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's doctors did not significantly stall the police investigation into his highly suspect activities, we must brace ourselves for the prime minister's next delaying gimmick.
American Price Tag
The principle that we must defend ourselves by ourselves was the guiding light of all of Israel’s governments – from the Sinai Campaign until the First Gulf War.
Pittsburgh Massacre – Israel Must Be Involved
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!
The Democratic Farce
Israel may be a great democracy but it's a long way from the Jewish state of liberty of our dreams.
Beware: Feiglinism Poised To Bring Peace
This is how it works: A minister or MK who steps out of line – opposing the destruction of the Ulpana neighborhood, for example – is immediately accused of “Feiglinism.” It makes no difference if the accuser is Tzipi Livni or Ehud Barak. “This is simply terrible,” Kadima MK Nachman Shai explained on the afternoon news. “Feiglin determines the fate of the Likud MKs.”
The New Challenge
Two weeks ago, in my weekly column on the NRG website, I wrote, “Nobody really understands why Israel is going to early elections.” So when I heard that the election merry-go-round had been cancelled, I was pleased.
