Israel’s version of 9/11 was far greater in terms of deaths per population than America’s tragedy. However, it went completely belly up in garnering the anticipated support.
The behavior I witnessed, as commonplace as it has become, is unacceptable. One can protest legally, one can have an opinion – but showing a lack of basic decorum is wrong, no matter what you believe.

During war, as during peace, language and terminology create attitudinal truth.
This warped cultural narrative creates the ludicrous scene of gay people supporting Hamas murderers, even though Hamas terrorists would gladly toss them off a roof and drag their bodies through the street. But to people blinded by intersectionality, facts don’t matter.
The Netzach Education Network has been asked by the Ministry of Education to develop an entire curriculum of Civic Studies, customized to include Charedi values, and this will be shared with 74 state-regulated Charedi elementary schools around Israel.

The Palestinians actually owe Israel a huge debt of gratitude for finally driving Hamas out of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing.

Biden does not appear ever to have issued the slightest threat, warning or ultimatum to the authors of the war: Hamas, Iran or Qatar.
May HaShem watch over Kol Achainu Bais Yisrael, bring home the hostages, console the bereaved and clear the path for a speedy and complete end to the war.
‘Rabbi,’ he said ‘I am a Christian and I feel that I, too, have had a hand in helping to bring the Children of Israel to the Promised Land. I want to tell my children that I helped a people find a homeland.
Don’t expel just Hamas supporters – expel the neo-Nazi Left.
In the year 2024, we must heed the words of Ze’ev Jabotinsky, “We were not created in order to teach morals and manners to our enemies.”
No American should die to protect Hamas or its supporters in Gaza.
It is up to our rising to the moment, to be proud, practicing, moral, ethical, Torah Jews, to demonstrate we are indeed the chosen people.
Our greatest nightmares as Jews are coming true. It is happening again.
Though Israel in the 1980s was a bit primitive in some ways, I was filled with idealism for the orange groves, and Israeli music, the tourist venues and holy sites that I celebrated every Yom Ha’Atzmaut at school. The transition was pretty seamless, in ways, at the time, I took for granted.
Is the enemy, already inside Israel's gates, also inside the US?
We must not allow our mourning and pain to overshadow the process we are privileged to be part of.

Jews vote in exceedingly high numbers. In several critical states, the “Jewish vote” might be particularly significant in determining the outcomes.

There is a video of a UCLA student Eli Tsives who questions a woman who claims to be a professor at UCLA. He does know how to ask, and the woman is so flummoxed she asks for help.
I remembered the tragic incidents of mothers accidentally suffocating their young so the rest of the family wouldn’t be discovered. That’s when I realized how lucky we are to have babies crying at semachot all over the Jewish state and beyond.

Universities and their students once cared about “light and truth”; they don’t anymore.
We have severely compromised our autonomy and mobility due to our longtime dependence on others.

As Jews are fighting a war of self-defense against Hamas, the PLO, and other terrorist organizations, Israel is accused of genocide, war crimes, and perpetrating a Holocaust.

We are losing America to radicals who hate the West and everything we stand for.

The obligatory Holocaust Remembrance Day mantra rings hollow in the wake of the Oct. 7 massacre.
Jews came to represent everything men feared
The White House and its supporters are using Muslims in Michigan to justify a slew of deeply hostile policies against Israel. Will that matter come fall?

The columnist is a master of the journalistic technique of interviewing people who agree with him and then quoting them to “prove” his views are correct.
The Hamas attack and subsequent war have generated two military needs. In the immediate short term, the army must replace thousands of soldiers. In addition, the military needs to increase the size of its forces.
After the attack, the police packed the contents of their car into boxes and delivered them to our home. This included the girls’ phones, jewelry, luggage, and other items that were in the glove compartment or trunk of the vehicle. One such item was a small book of Tehillim that belonged to Rina. This would not have been remarkable except for one thing. It seemed to want me to open it at a particular page, because it was slightly propped open.

If the US and other Western countries do not wake up to the fact that Jihad has come to their universities, they will wake up to October 7-style massacres on the streets of New York, London, and Paris.
Something has gone terribly wrong when kids, raised the world over on Sesame Street, have forsaken Bert and Ernie, and their colorful Muppet cohorts, for murderous jihadis far grouchier than Oscar.
Students are afraid to express these contrary views for fear of reprisals.
The more obvious interpretation is that these were events in which the laws of nature were suspended, as exemplified by the parted waters standing on end on either side like a wall. On the other hand, we could also say that the events were miraculous not because the laws of nature were suspended, but because these were natural occurrences happening exactly at the time they were needed.
What is really going on is that hateful speech against Jews has not just been accepted but glamorized by intellectuals who have been indoctrinated in ideas like critical race theory and intersectionality, which grant a permission slip for antisemitism.
Don’t underestimate the impact of a crumb. One mashehu, a drop of ink, is the difference between a hei of matzah and a ches of chametz. Don’t let the yetzer hara convince you not to care about the mashehu.
What is important now is for all of us, all of us who … cherish our values and our civilization to stand up together and to say: Enough is enough,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In addition to the merits of our monotheistic legacy, modern-day Jews possess an additional merit which includes them in redemption.
Who indeed is to blame for the wave of hatred toward Jews that is roiling Canadian workplaces, universities, unions, social media postings, even our streets and neighbourhoods? Who are the purveyors of antisemitism?
Extreme political NGOs and rights organizations often falsely accuse Israel of committing human rights abuses.
At Columbia University, Yale and other schools we see scenes which we haven’t seen since the days of the Holocaust. Its not just the celebration of people, it’s the universities permitting it. Its professors encouraging it.
For those who still believe that these violent student actions are a spontaneous response to Israel's military action: this is the weaponization of "woke
The argument that once the settlements issue is resolved, a peaceful resolution of the conflict could be concluded is groundless
By Sara Lehmann
Israel needs to be less concerned about being liked than about being feared.
These are the latest incidents in the undeclared conflict taking place between Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel since October 8, 2023. This conflict, which began, of course, in the wake of Hamas's October 7 attacks, is of major dimensions and involves near-daily clashes.
Let’s face it, if the topic of the Seder was actually the Exodus from Egypt, then we would just need to read the relevant Torah portions – Vaeira, Bo and Beshalach – which narrate the story of the ten plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, and then we could get down to the real business of eating a delicious meal!
Israel has not yet been, and still is not, the safest place in the world for Jews. But not everyone has the option to live in the safest place in the world – many people just need somewhere that is safer than where they currently live.
In every generation a different Pharaoh-type enemy of the Jewish people emerges. The 20th century has been no exception.
The Iranian drone and missile attacks of 13 April brought less drama for many in Jerusalem than one might have imagined. War brings with it the disappearance of expectations of daily continuity, or of a reasonable and logical sequence of events.
The October 7 massacre drew the PA and Iran closer

"Yes, Hamas thanked the United States. When a terrorist group is thanking you, you're probably doing something wrong." — Joe Truzman, senior research analyst, X, April 9, 2024.
The universal "optics" are that if America will throw its closest ally, Israel, under the bus, what chance has anyone else got?
Israel is currently facing a multi-front war for its survival, with Qatar, Iran and Iran's proxies, which are encircling Israel, leading the charge. The gravity of this aggression cannot be overstated: not just for the existence of Israel, but also for that of the US, Europe and the West.
If destroying an embryo is akin to murder, what does that mean for IVF treatment, which involves producing multiple embryos, some of which are implanted, others stored for future use, and still others destroyed?
A second primary argument centers around whether this war is a milchemet mitzvah. The Rambam appears to make it clear that when the Jewish nation is murderously attacked, it is a milchemet mitzvah shel ezrat Yisrael mi’yad tzar (saving the Jewish people from a murderous enemy).
No matter how much Israel tries to do the right thing, it will never be credited for it.
An inspiring answer is that Israel’s definition of happiness is deeply rooted in the Prophet Isaiah’s vision of the Jewish people’s role as an ohr lagoyim, a light unto the nations.

A language of lies and hate threatens to conquer the mind of the West.
Twice the 20th of Sivan was designated as a day commemorating Jewish tragedies, and twice the observance faded until it is now entirely obsolete. Many observant Jews do not even know it was once a serious day of mourning.
Victory is going to require more than slogans that “together we will win.”
Sometimes the pen of propaganda is mightier than the sword.

Hashem wanted someone who was going to reach higher and actively seek out Hashem, and that came in the form of Avraham Avinu. Even when G-d Almighty was visiting him after his bris, when he had every reason to calmly ignore the doorbell, he ignored the pain and received his guests. (Remember, this is pre-Advil and Vicodin.)
We have learned nothing from the causes of the 10/7 pogrom and have returned to the Fall of last year.

If Biden wants to be re-elected, he’d be smart to stop pandering to a tiny minority of extremist voters who want to see Israel wiped off the map.
Not unlike Julius Caesar, Israel received a number of stabbings over the past few weeks, none of which, fortunately, have been fatal.
Like Joseph in ancient Egypt, as a United States Senator, Joseph Lieberman held high office in a global superpower, succeeding in everything he did, enjoying Divine blessings.

Appeasing terrorists for the sake of political expediency endangers not just Israel but America itself.
In the past three years, during the Biden administration, Palestinian privilege has been elevated to new heights. The U.S. State Department, staffed with anti-Zionist activists at the upper levels, has appropriated funds for investigating supposed Israeli misconduct in Judea and Samaria (aka the West Bank).
Before Oct. 7, rioters demanded the overthrow of Netanyahu’s coalition due to its “anti-democratic” policies and “corruption.” The new rallying cry is to free the hostages.

Anybody who parrots the slander that Netanyahu doesn’t care about returning the hostages is ruining the chance of a deal Israel can accept.

From March 2018 to December 2019, the media reported on The Great March of Return. Each Friday, the Palestinian Arabs of Gaza approached the barrier separating Gaza from Israel in "spontaneous," "peaceful" protests, demanding the right to return to their homes in "Palestine." It didn't take long for Hamas to coopt the protests. Soon, amidst the […]

When at-risk populations are empowered, they can become engines for strengthening families, communities and societies.
The firebombs were “filled with nails,” a police spokesperson revealed. That was a new one for me, and I follow this kind of news closely.
The absence of genuine Palestine Arab history has not prevented them from inventing their own.
It will turn Gaza right back into a terrorist enclave.
The Jewish state swings in the wind because the genocidal Palestinians are said to have a case.
These teeny tiny moments add up, and while he may not know what Havdalah means, there is a feeling associated with the mysterious colorful candle that magically appears once a week and bursts into flame, a feeling that will settle into the part of his heart that requires no words, a feeling so primal, that years later he won’t even understand why he loves Havdalah so much.

Prepare for a Biden-Bibi showdown
Only solidarity can direct us towards achieving our own redemption, and only unity can win over G-d’s favor and divine intervention.
By Guy Millière
It appears that the Biden administration would like to trade Netanyahu in for a doormat who would agree to a terrorist Palestinian state next door, a Hamas victory in Gaza and Iran having nuclear weapons.
The only real beneficiary of the Biden administration's ill-considered plan to build a floating pier to deliver US aid to Gaza will be the Hamas terrorist organisation that provoked the Gaza conflict in the first place. Under plans drawn up by the Pentagon, an estimated 1,000 US military personnel are to be deployed to construct […]

Putin decries the Moscow massacre, while siding with the genocidal butchers of Oct. 7.
If it is so hard to leave each time we come, why not stay, why not finally move? That question plagues me regularly and nobody asks it more forcefully than I do to myself.
They have developed a lifestyle that costs one third of a secular household...They share their childcare between aunts and grandmothers, and the men teach Torah to the boys.

In tens of such cases, get refusers entering Israel as tourists were hauled in front of the Rabbinical Court.

News of Eylon’s suspension comes on the same day that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bemoaned the fact that Israel had a dearth of spokespeople who could “string two words together” in English.

Biden is the bridge to war
Since its establishment, the World Zionist Organization has been working tirelessly to strengthen the strength and unity of the Jewish people.
Human rights culture has mainstreamed Hamas lies.
When you turn the Holocaust into a generic moral lesson you rob it of its particular evil and you rob the victims of their own narratives.
