In other words, China and Russia are preparing to go to war together. As no country threatens either of them, they are undoubtedly thinking of perpetrating more acts of aggression.

Absent the merit of truth, or at a minimum of context, anti-Israel activists brazenly reprocess history as it unfolds so that the events of October 7th themselves are denied.
The resolution also says nothing about the Hamas practice of locating military personnel and weapons in civilian areas which put civilians at particular risk as the IDF prosecutes it war against Hamas.
The right of voters to decide who will make binding decisions for them is as fundamental in a democracy as you can get.
Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party is no better than Hamas. It has celebrated the Oct. 7 attacks
The timing of the decision is as relevant as ever. IDF soldiers and veterans should not have to worry about their reputation being tarnished through malicious and reckless allegations…

the UN — whose ideals are supposed to shine like a beacon of light in a murky world — was nowhere to be seen and nowhere to be heard in solidarity with Israel.
It seems that even in the United States, where Jews were once safe those times may also be coming to an end.
Iran: The largest anti-American venomous octopus in the world
The same leftists who maligned whites have now turned on the Jews. When whites were being denigrated, many Jewish leftists either supported the attacks or acquiesced to them. Now these Jews are being included among the “oppressors,” which is the same genocidal hatred that was exhibited in the George Floyd riots.
And still, it can now be stated clearly, the IDF is winning its war in Gaza. In the course of the past two weeks, the signs have become increasingly clear.
Three or Four, Now That's More Realistic
The "DEI" bureaucracies in U.S. colleges are failing to protect Jewish students from a wave of antisemitism. The right reaction is to recognize how pernicious they are, not to plead that Jewish students too are "oppressed."

Anti-Zionism, bolstered by an infamous czarist-era forgery, has served to cement an unholy alliance of Marxists, Islamists and progressives.
Faith doesn’t remove pain, but it can get you through it.
It started at the young age of 12 when I became associated with one of the leading rabbis of the last 100 years, Rav Avigdor Miller. He was a genius in human relations and I sucked up as much knowledge as I could learn from him.
How do you take a teacher, a doctor, a plumber, and a student and turn them into an army?... In particular, how do you do this when just a few weeks earlier they were marching against each other in opposing factions down the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?
As a volunteer, I’ve seen firsthand the unprecedented mobilization of Israeli society to support bereaved families, families whose husbands/fathers were called up, and refugees from the South and North. So, what missing element did this dinner offer?
Certainly, the masterminds behind this movement understood that students are easily beckoned by social causes that make them feel empowered. By defending the rights of those they feel are less fortunate, they assuage their guilty conscience for enjoying the middle-class comforts that others do not.
Perhaps Joseph recognizes he has an opportunity to help create a different future, one where the brothers will learn to live together in peace and harmony, and where Yaakov will be blessed to once again be surrounded by all of his sons living and working together towards a better future.
Whether the epidemic of anti-church/anti-state attacks are coordinated or spontaneous, they combine to achieve a common goal. They fracture the French nation and drive a wedge between good people on both sides of France’s religious racial/divide.

No one can deny that the tragic, brutal, genocidal massacre of innocent Jews on Shabbat Simchat Torah brought about at least a temporary ceasefire in the multi-level conflict in Israel – left vs. right, secular vs. religious, Ashkenazim vs. Sephardim.
The Biden administration, which has pointedly moved two full aircraft carrier battle groups with overwhelming firepower to the Middle East, has failed to strike at Houthi military facilities, limiting itself to defending against the launched missiles and drones, even after persuading Israel to allow the U.S. to deal with the problem.

Last week the campaign matured into actual sanctions on “extremist settlers.”
According to the Times of Israel, Kirby said some of the steps the IDF has taken to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza went further than what the U.S. would have done if it were in Israel’s place.
It creates divisiveness on campuses that makes Jewish students and faculty fearful for their safety when their university president seems unwilling to apply the same standard to those who advocate genocide against Jews as they surely would against anyone who advocated genocide against Blacks or the raping of women or the shooting of gay and transgender people.

From the murder of Sébastien Sellam in 2003 to that of Mireille Knoll in 2018, all murders of Jews in France have been committed by radicalized Muslims.
The PLO and its supporters continued to look for a way to expel Israel.
The president’s rhetoric continues to turn against the Jewish state, but as long as the military aid keeps flowing, his appeasement of anti-Israel Democrats won’t save Hamas.
An ugly, fringe phenomenon being falsely puffed up to "balance" the crimes of Hamas.
“Israel has nowhere near the capacity they need to deal with a major war with Hezbollah,” said Brad Bowman, of FDD. “We have to sound the alarm so that the people that can actually do something about it can fix it.”

Maybe you don’t need to hear this, but it must be said to counter the voices arguing otherwise: You did not deserve this
This is a time that we need to dig deeper, muster all of our energy, courage and resources to stand tall and proud and to be practicing Jews.
When they do not contain a clear message and require interpretation, a crucial question arises: Who is empowered to interpret the dream?
Indeed, we are seeing a surge of feminine strength and resilience during these trying days for Israel and world Jewry. In our Jerusalem community, I am blown away by the acts of heroism and self-sacrifice that I am witnessing firsthand.
We should pay more respect to those who display moral courage and clear-headed moral principles.
In today’s cancel culture and pervasive campus antisemitism, couldn’t they reasonably have believed they would be hounded out of office by aroused and cynical students always on the lookout for a rallying cause?
The Satmar view, on the other hand, is hardly opposed to Jewish presence in Israel.
Notably, the resolution was primarily driven by the allegedly large number of civilian casualties in Gaza that Hamas claimed to have occurred – never independently confirmed and without any analysis of the impact of Hamas’ policy of using human shields.
Almost immediately following the deadly attack, and particularly after Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas, mass riots and rallies in support of Hamas sprung up all over the West. Iran’s information warfare machinery was in high gear in the United States and elsewhere.
On December 4, the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas announced the establishment of a new terrorist group in Lebanon....Hamas, in short, is saying that it is planning a similar invasion of Israel, but this time from Lebanon.
So far, the Biden administration has appeared unwilling even to entertain the thought of addressing Hamas's patron, Iran.
With regard to Lebanon, U.S.-Israel relations are on a collision course.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has every reason to welcome Sunni Arab immigrants.
Jewish students are being subjected to bullying acts intended to intimidate and harass them because of their actual or imagined support for Israel. Thankfully, there are legal tools available which can and must be used to assert and defend their civil rights.
It’s a crazy time to be a Jew.
Unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have witnessed way too many adults and parents who have taken the liberty to discuss and describe in detail to one another the gruesome details of the October 7th massacre in the presence of their children and other children.
What the lack of an immediate Israeli victory has done is convince the Jew-haters who were always there that it is safe to come out and say what they really think.
When wars are run by politicians, the end result is a defeat that comes from never really trying.
The vast difference between how Paul Kessler’s killing and the wounding of the Muslim men were treated is a microcosm of the political bias and media narratives.

On Oct. 7, some of the most fervent believers in peace with the Palestinians were reduced to ashes. Does he think Israel will now force 100,000 Jews to leave their homes in Judea and Samaria to create Hamastan?
'- JNS.org Einat Wilf also suggests linking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip with a Palestinian peace pledge.
The name of this war is Swords of Iron – like the swords the Maccabees fought with – even though Israel’s military technology is ultra-modern and cutting edge.
Terrorist organizations across the world exploit the liberties and freedoms of democracies to bankroll their cruel operations, promote their evil agendas, and recruit the next generation of terrorists.

Israeli intelligence failures – particularly those leading to the failure to warn of a large-scale attack, as suffered by Israel in the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 – are typically followed by the creation of investigative committees that scrutinize intelligence processes, highlight gaps and vulnerabilities, and recommend mechanisms to prevent future failures. But without a profound cultural shift within the intelligence organization and its personnel – specifically, the integration of humility into the organizational DNA – these mechanisms will not deliver the desired outcome.
To be sure the implicit admonitions are routinely accompanied by a reiteration of Israel’s right to take Hamas out after Oct. 7 – although that sentiment appears to get more perfunctory with each saying.
As American society and Americans individually become less religious, i.e., less Christian, the Jews become less significant.

Albanese's farcical claim that Israel has no right to defend itself after the Hamas Massacre only leads her to the foolish, and deadly, claims that Israel should send the police into Gaza or have the UN stroll into Gaza to disarm Hamas.
Taking ideas and success for granted, the third generation often descends into petty rivalries and personal animosities.
Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status. This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error.
