Hezbollah or Hamas will likely identify the current crisis in Israel over the new government’s proposed reform of Israel’s judiciary as an opportunity to act against it. They might be surprised, however, by Israel’s response.
The Left bet that with enough pressure they could shut down democratic judicial reform in Israel.
Guns don’t kill people, the evil and the mentally deranged do.

Judges control the process in Israel. Reformers say that leads to groupthink.
Of course Minister Bezalel Smotrich is correct. Of course there is no Arab “Palestinian” people and never was an Arab “Palestine.” It all is a fraud. It’s just a fact. Repeat the truth: There never was an Arab political entity of “Palestine” and never a “Palestinian Arab nation.” The dizzying repetition of that Big Lie for so […]
Wherever Jews lived, they did not publicly challenge the occupation of the land by the empires of the East and West. They did so in their homes, sanctuaries, books and prayers. Religious rituals were instituted to remember the destruction of the Temple and the subsequent exile.
If the so-called "champions of democracy" succeed in obstructing the judicial reforms, democratic rule will be replaced by mob rule—and Israel will be teetering on the brink of an Orwellian dystopia

Notwithstanding the fact that the PA’s slay for pay system is still operating, President Joe Biden restored financial aid to the PA almost immediately after taking office.
the agreement is an indication of the growing weakness of the US and the failed policy of the Biden administration in the Middle East. Thanks to the US administration's fragility, the Iranian-led axis of evil has been significantly emboldened as America's erstwhile Arab allies are rushing towards the open arms of the mullahs in Tehran.
Attempting to enact major change without a broad consensus can only result in controversy, polarization and, in the end, continuing unrest.
I do not believe that the Saudi-Iran agreement closes the door on Saudi-Israeli entente, nor on a renewed pro-Western regional alliance involving Israel and the Saudis

In 2023, in contrast to conventional demographic wisdom, Israel is not facing a potential Arab demographic time bomb in the combined areas of Judea, Samaria (the West Bank) and pre-1967 Israel. In fact, the Jewish State benefits from a robust tailwind of fertility rate and net-immigration.
he Biden administration would do well to realize that a nuclear Iran is not just an existential threat to Israel; a nuclear Iran is major threat to the region, Europe, America, the world.

Israel's justices have powers unparalleled by any court anywhere else, making them the de facto government.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman makes no secret of his intention to make Saudi Arabia the leading economic and military power in the Gulf region, competing with the at-least equally ambitious Iran.
the international community seems to be deliberately turning a blind eye to Palestinian teenage terror.
The Times goes on to note the obvious, that [c]ombining the criminal charge with a violation of state election law would be a novel legal theory let alone against the former president who is also an announced candidate for reelection.

State Department Report Finally Released

This conflict remains intractable because of the baseless canard that Israel stole Palestinian Arab land, and is thus an occupier of Arab land
Beware the doomsday discourse about irreparable depredations in Israel’s democratic moorings. The poison it pumps into Israel’s soul and standing is far worse than its proximate cause.

"U.S. support for demonstrations in Tel Aviv isn't about the future of Israel's judiciary. It's about handcuffing Israel while Iran gets the bomb." — Lee Smith, Tablet Magazine, March 2, 2023.

Stuart Force is quite literally the father of the Taylor Force Act. The law came into being after lobbying by Stuart and Robbi Force, parents of Taylor Force.

One of the first persons who Mammadov met after his arrival in Israel was Malcolm Hoenlein...
Unilateral imposition of unpopular policies can backfire in the long run.

What did the mayor say that signaled that he was poised to turn New York city into a theocracy, rather than just sharing his own personal beliefs?
That enemy eulogies of the Jewish state are given a boost by the Israeli press may be disconcerting, but it’s the price—and privilege—of free speech. Soldiers don’t enjoy such a luxury, however.
As most readers know, YU claimed that setting up such a LGBT club would be a direct violation of the university’s Orthodox Jewish tenets and it was therefore entitled to a religious exemption as provided for in the human rights law.
The last vestige of the left’s undemocratic power is threatened, a prospect it views with a mixture of horror and disbelief.

Its just-released assessment of Joe Biden’s first year as president whitewashes Palestinian terrorism.
So instead of starting each school day with a prayer, why don't we start each school day with the recitation of the First Amendment? Then the teacher can explain why prayer is a private matter – for the home, the church or the mind. It is not the job of the teacher to inculcate his or her religious views — or those of Mayor Adams.
The Israeli finance minister’s call for wiping out Huwara was abhorrent, but so is the so-called “human rights” group’s demand for the mass expulsion of Jews from their homes.

U.S. financial and political support of the Palestinians’ war against Israel is shameful.
No, this is NOT a Purim joke-the Times has become a year-round joke

The Durban Conference, “which ended only three days before 9/11, revealed the intimate connections between anti-racism politics and a key platform in the terrorist agenda, namely, the delegitimation of Israel and the legitimation of terrorism against its citizens”
Compared to the ongoing Palestinian terrorist mega-pogrom against Israeli Jews, the Huwara rampage must rank as one the weakest pogroms in the ugly history of pogroms. So where is the anguish over Israeli Jews continuously murdered by Palestinian terrorists?

As a former Israeli Minister, I support Azerbaijan as they file an arbitration case against Armenia under the Energy Charter Treaty.
When people become 'just spectators' to their own lives, they cannot act to improve their lives and to change what is going on in their lives any more than they can act to change what is going on in the movies or the soap operas.
Thanks to the Biden Administration's weak leadership, Iran has been able to make these major nuclear advancements. Unless the Biden Administration quickly emerges from its confusion, Americans may well have the questionable honor of Russia, China and Iran all aiming nuclear weapons at them at once.
Nides proudly claims spending “60% of my time trying to help the Palestinian people” – revealing that his role as Ambassador to Israel is undeserving of his attention.
A bid to strengthen the Taylor Force Act that penalizes the Palestinian Authority’s “pay for slay” policy is necessary. But the administration is still evading the law in other ways.

Claiming that Israel is going to cease being a democratic state, a liberal state – I see it as detached from reality.
The mission’s purpose was supposed to be to learn directly from Israel’s key elected leaders about vital and serious issues that confront Israel.

By Bassam Tawil
The Biden Administration appears to believe that building a home for a Jew constitutes a greater threat than gangs and terror groups carrying out lethal attacks against Jews.
If Bubbe hadn’t dropped off that bag, Purim would have been so much sadder that year. At the same time, it meant so much more to me to receive the one from her.
These critics are not to be heard from when terrorists wantonly take the lives of innocent Israelis, but they are outraged if the State says it will take the lives of the killers. Amazing!
147 Americans have been killed by Palestinian terrorists since 1968, but not one of the killers has stood before a U.S. court.
Paying attention to trolls is usually a bad idea.
IDF continues its counter-terrorism operations in Judea and Samaria and sends a warning to the terrorist organizations of its long reach.
Jews who rioted in Huwara following a terror attack have been rightly condemned. But why do the world and the Biden administration still tolerate Palestinian terrorism?
