Radiohead is my new favorite band. Not because I love their music but because they’ve taken a public stand against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. They ROCK!
The general idea of a two-state solution does not specify one state would be for the Jewish people, the other one for the .Palestinians--who continue to want no state for the Jewish people more than they want a state for Palestinian Arabs.
This past Sunday night, the play "Oslo" won the Tony Award for Best Play. Does a Broadway that gets this history so terribly wrong matter?

How can we reconcile scientific understanding with the wide gap found in the biblical accounts all familiar to us?

The testimony of these Gazan refugees in Greece provides a rare opportunity to hear what Palestinians say when they’re out of reach of their own repressive governments and can speak freely

By Bassam Tawil
Israel's concessions are regarded as gestures of a terrified people and as the reward for terrorism. Far from satiating the appetite of the terrorists, such steps prompt them to step up their attacks against Israelis.

By Allen Fagin

The indigenous Jewish population and the Muslim migrants who settled in Israel are inherently incompatible. The Palestinian problem might be solved somewhere in Jordan or Syria. History and experience tells us it will never be solved in Israel.
By Morton A. Klein and Dr. Daniel Mandel
The Muslim fixation and clamor on Jerusalem is actually a very recent historical development, a product of political conflict, not historical truth.
By Ben Shapiro
Abbas agreed as Trump ripped the terror attack in Manchester and Trump deemed Abbas a force for regional peace. This is thanks to the latent anti-Semitism implicit in the notion that Islamic terrorists who murder Jews in Israel are different

The huge 10-year $380 billion U.S.-Saudi agreement announced this past weekend raises serious concerns as to the how Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (“QME”) will be impacted by the deal’s massive weapons sales to the Saudi Kingdom.

The point of the original Hebrew article in Maariv, Decadent Meals and Free Internet: The Good Life of Terrorists in Prison,

By Bassam Tawil

Minister Ayoob Kara, Israel’s point-man for engagement with the Arab world, was quoted as saying, “our relations with our neighbors are the best they’ve ever been.”
Arab leaders–unlike Trump–understand that Israeli-Palestinian peace is nowhere on the horizon. It’s clear from the proposal itself which asks Israel to leave the status quo essentially unchanged, not concessions on any final-status issue
I listened to the speeches and marveled at the words of Torah coming from the non-observant master of ceremonies. Yes, the very air of Israel makes one wise.
By Noah Beck

“Dayenu” – Enough is Enough! End the occupation now and forever! I agree with 99% of what “Peace Now” says; no more war, no more stealing land, no more violence and no more occupation!

"The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
By Isi Leibler
Lauder stressed that Abbas is a moderate committed to peace. Implicit in his narrative is that the Israeli government, especially Netanyahu, had been insufficiently flexible in previous negotiations
Israel is thus the only country on the planet to benefit from the doubtful privilege of being scrutinized on the least of its actions, through an agenda decided by its enemies.
Advocates of the Palestinian cause like to pretend that all Palestinian terrorism these days is the work of “extremists” from Hamas, not “moderates” affiliated with Abbas. Like their leader Abbas, they lie
By Bruce Abramson and Jeff Ballabon
Despite the media obsession with Gorka himself, he is only the latest chapter in the real story: the increasing hysteria of the Jewish left.
On the White House lawn, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told US President Donald Trump: “Mr. President, I affirm to you that we are raising our youth, our children, and our grandchildren on a culture of peace.” Unfortunately, the reality cannot be further from the truth. To the contrary, Mahmoud Abbas is educating Palestinian children […]

CUNY would never tolerate a commencement speaker with a history of bigotry toward African Americans, Hispanics or the LGBTQ community yet it is welcoming Sarsour, an anti-Semite
By IPT-Investigative Project on Terrorism
Sarsour famously tweeted, "Nothing is creepier than Zionism." That's not a statement critical of Israel and its policies, she believes the entire concept of a homeland for the Jewish people is flawed, is "creepy."

A new study of Palestinian textbooks finds that Palestinian children are being taught to glorify and value terrorism and violence.That is not the way to prepare children for peace.
The UN cannot really be reformed. It’s time to create alternative bodies that are mere professional agencies with no grandiose moral pretensions.
Macron is a "globalist" and an "open promoter of multiculturalism," a "Useful Infidel." He neither supports terrorism or Islamism. It is worse: he does not even see the threat and as such, he does not consider Islamism a threat

By Bruce Abramson and Jeff Ballabon

By Yuval Canfi The far right “Front Nationale” party headed by Marine Le Pen promises to wipe out terror.
