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.
Surely it is well past the time when the illogic of his position needs any further elucidation.
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.
We have said over and over, that Donald Trump was not the issue, but that it behooved all of us, even the most diehard anti-Trumpers, to be concerned about the blatant targeting of predecessor political enemies by those who succeeded them in office.
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.
Israel had shared its intentions with the Biden team so when the muted strike came it was fully expected and quickly acknowledged. In quick succession, the U.S. vetoed a United Nations Security Council Resolution that would have recognized Palestinian statehood within the pre-197 border with no revisions.

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.
The Haggadah teaches that “in every generation, there are those who rise against us.” It has never been more relevant.
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?
It isn’t the benefit of hindsight that make Chamberlain’s claims so risible. Plenty of his contemporaries saw exactly how ridiculous their Prime Minister’s confidence was and how catastrophic his appeasement of Germany had been. An empty black taxi indeed.
Extreme political NGOs and rights organizations often falsely accuse Israel of committing human rights abuses.
It’s noteworthy that within hours of the toned-down Israeli action against Iran, the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would have recognized a Palestinian state as a full member of the UN.
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.
She also carefully avoided coming out with words to the effect that the task at hand is not to tout Columbia’s commitment to free speech but rather to maximize the ability of Jewish students to freely express their views about Israel and Judaism without fear of intimidation or retribution from faculty or fellow students.
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

With the help of Iran and North Korea, the terrorist organization has been working for 18 years on attack, strategic and booby-trapped tunnels.
The argument that once the settlements issue is resolved, a peaceful resolution of the conflict could be concluded is groundless
Fatah TV anchor: Hamas attacked and killed aid workers; it has persecuted them since the start of the war
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.
11. Jerusalem is mentioned three times in the annual story of Passover (Haggadah), which is concluded by the vow: "Next Year in the reconstructed Jerusalem!"
Israel seeks to minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas seeks to maximize civilian casualties and use them as a propaganda tool.
Most civil rights organizations are also essentially left-wing groups. They use alleged concern for black people to attain and retain power, but they harm blacks considerably more than they help them.
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.

Would Israel get U.S. support if, as part of its defense, it included the usually no-brainer components of trying to bring the fight to the enemy’s home front. Or would that be deemed too close to a frowned upon retaliation?

No one has claimed that he could not have declassified the documents – only that he didn’t. No one has charged that he compromised national security by retaining them. Yet. he is being charged under the Federal Espionage Act!
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?
"Iran communicated through the Swiss channel that its strike on Israel was complete"
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.

To be sure, the President didn’t quite accuse Israel of intentionally causing the unnecessary deaths of civilians. But he came awfully close when he said he would hold them responsible for knowingly continuing policies that didn’t minimize civilian harm.
At the outset, we note that the war in Gaza has demonstrated what Israel is capable of bringing to the table. Granted, Hamas is not Iran. But the Gaza experience has to make Iran think long and hard about a direct confrontation with Israel nonetheless.

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.
Vandalizing synagogues with swastikas is good, leftists argue.
Victory is going to require more than slogans that “together we will win.”
Everybody knows that the rapidly growing and politically muscular Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel can no longer altogether avoid military and/or national service. But haredi leaders will not relinquish their rigid communal structure of full-time and lifetime-long Torah study. And nobody can draft haredi Israeli Jews against their will – no matter what the Supreme Court rules or the Knesset legislates. So here is my national service plan for haredi men during “bein hazmanim,” their long semester breaks.
The tectonic threat of Iran to Mideast and global stability must be countered head-on.
Sometimes the pen of propaganda is mightier than the sword.
Former IDF Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin: The problem is not Gaza. The problem is Iran.
Israel must resist America’s fantasy framework for a swift, dangerously indecisive, end to the Gaza war.
By hosting Hamas’s leaders, allowing Al Jazeera to spread anti-Israel propaganda and funding U.S. universities in exchange for influence, Qatar has demonstrated clearly it is on the side of evil.

Is Ramadan a holy month, or one of terrorism and warfare? The answer is "both."
Had I had any suspicion that this was a clinic that engaged in affirmative action, I would have wondered about this anesthesiologist: Was she chosen, at least in part, because she was black?

The administration, not Israel, must find a “new strategy.”

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.
Rabbi Dee is active in a number of projects which give him energy and hope, and he is grateful to his family and friends, and the love and support demonstrated by the Jewish people in the past 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.
As the highest-ranking Torah-observant elected official since Mordechai HaTzaddik, his story is not just remarkable; it's historic.
It was just several weeks ago that Germany intervened in the International Court of Justice in defense of Israel’s conduct of the war against South Africa’s charges of genocide.
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.
While no definitive conclusions have been announced by either – although an extension of the ban by the U.S. would indicate that there is at least some substance to the charges – Israel has already charged that an interim report by the UN was a cover up and a transparent attempt to get the funding resumed.
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.
This is what it takes to keep leftists and Islamists from trashing it.
By Ruthie Blum
Anybody who parrots the slander that Netanyahu doesn’t care about returning the hostages is ruining the chance of a deal Israel can accept.
By Bennett Ruda
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 […]

Biden says he wants stability, but his actions have the opposite effect.

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 answer to the Jewish state’s diplomatic dilemma is victory. Heeding the world’s demands to stop the war and let Hamas win will only make it worse.
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.
When Israeli voters next go to the polls, over what led to the grim events of Oct. 7, their choices must not be driven by uninformed rumor, ill-informed speculation, and misinformed emotion.
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
We continue to be dismayed that the Biden Administration would countenance the blatant human trafficking implicit in a debate that treats human beings as bargaining chips.

If anything ever happens to me, if I’m ever assassinated, people should assume that it was likely anti-Zionist activists.
