The biggest obstacle to positive change may be the Anglican Church.
Why has this truth not been internalized by all the nation?
Iran wanted to remake the Middle East. It had dispatched Shi’ite proxy armies to Syria, with their families to reconfigure the regional demography as it aspired to convert Syria into a Shi'ite State.

By officially calling for “an agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples,” Prime Minister Yair Lapid has changed the election paradigm from “anybody but Netanyahu” back to the issue that has divided Israel’s left and right since Yitzhak Rabin signed the infamous Oslo Accords in 1993.
For 12 years, under Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud, Israel pursued a foreign policy based not on depending on the U.S. but on Israeli economic and military power. The results speak for themselves.

Demagogues like the King of Jordan protest against Israel on the basis that they represent a so-called position of moral clarity. They use lies and false accusations against the Jewish State in a continuing and ongoing effort to delegitimize Israel.
The Jewish city and history of Beitar is remembered by observant Jews each time they break bread, for the fourth blessing of the Grace after Meals commemorates the massacre and the miracle that happened there in that place. The massacre occurred in 135 CE. Hundreds of thousands (some say millions) of Jews were slaughtered by […]
Their primary goal, above all else, is to raise future chassidim. This is what they want, it is what they seek, it shapes what they emphasize and what they do not, and it shapes the educational risks they are willing to take and those they are not.

The entire current crisis was avoidable if the EU had developed a rational plan instead of one based on a daydream, no matter how enticing.

Awesome! my inner Baid Yaakov girl enthused, it’s good someone reminded you to start saying it. And who knows? Hashem can make anything happen, right?
Persecution of minorities in the lands in which they dwell happens often and in many places. Total annihilation of a people – the murder of men, women and children – is far more rare; the Shoah, the attempt to annihilate Jews everywhere on the scale envisioned and practiced by the Nazis, was without precedent, dare one say unique.

But while Kusher brought skills as a negotiator, Friedman was skilled as a lawyer and litigator. Many of the accomplishments of the Trump administration in the Middle East were a result of Friedman's knowledge of the law in general and his legal skills and ability to analyze a problem.

“The Queen has spoken gently to the better angels of our nature. Hers has been the quiet heroism of service, the dignity of dedication to the common good, the good that’s so much bigger and nobler than self-interest.” — Rabbi Sacks zt”l

The apartheid libel isn’t just inaccurate, it’s an indefensible evil.
By Justin Amler
Unfortunately, hatred is a very powerful motivating factor, for it causes rational human beings to lose that rationality and swallow the kind of slander being peddled against Israel and the Jews. Perhaps many want to believe these lies, despite how ludicrous they are, because if Jews are portrayed as bad, then is any action against them really that unjust?

Unlike the Oslo vision, the new reality taking shape in the region is genuine and devoid of fantasies. It must be protected and nurtured.

Taking a page from the Israel-bashers’ playbook, the U.S. president added “disingenuousness” to his demonization, imposing of double standards and delegitimization of Republicans—the “three Ds” that Natan Sharansky proposed as proof of anti-Semitism.

Ultimately, what ties the Abenaki and Jews together is that they are both indigenous peoples, born in their respective lands with historical and cultural ties to it and neither Ben nor Jerry recognizes either.
With the help of “The New York Times,” they oppose efforts to raise awareness of left-wing Jew-hatred and are warning even liberal friends of Israel that they are legitimate targets.

Because our political discourse has devolved into middle-school histrionics — "Everyone I don't like is Hitler!" — we fail to notice the gradual slide into tyranny, ignoring it on behalf of spectacular headlines and reactionary rhetoric.
There are moments, either personal or societal, in which we move away from the natural default mode of trust and conviction.

Nasrallah is not the adventurous or gambling type, but it appears he is no longer bound by the lessons of 2006.
How can governments maintain that they have seen no evidence to support this claim? What they really mean is that they reject facts provided by the Jewish state.

The current Zionist Congress differed from the first in that over the years, Israeli culture has developed a thin layer of cynicism towards the ability to change and dream ahead. But this week was different.
How can repentance from love transform sins into merits? By transforming how we use our inclinations, skills, tendencies and our even possessions, we can transform a less-than-ideal past into a more G-d-conscious future.

In all the accounts, he concludes that what he witnessed can only be explained if there are other forces in control in the universe. And from that point forward, his interpretations and his conduct were influenced by that mistaken notion.

“The illegal building that's taking place by the Arabs has increased so dramatically in the last year that it's out of control.

During Gantz’s tenure, Israel’s activities in Area C, which require resolute action to uphold the stated policy of the Israeli government, have degenerated to the point of being virtually non-existent.
Equal justice for Democrats and Republicans must not only be done; it must be seen to be done. There must be one law, and one application of law, for all comparable acts and persons.
