Kerry warned Israel faces a new intifada if it does not choke itself to death. A lone PA terrorist, on cue, killed a soldier, and everyone screams ‘Third Intifada.’ It won’t happen – unless Kerry continues to incite.

The widow of Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority paid for the Swiss medical tests on the late Palestinian leader’s body that showed he did not die of natural causes. The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that a spokesperson for the University Centre of Legal Medicine in Lausanne told the newspaper that Suha Arafat and […]
In public releases, and while in Israel, the U.S. sounds even-handed. But in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority, the U.S. secretary of state was pointing a finger, it was pointed only towards the Israeli side, at the same time that his other hand was filled with additional $millions for the Arab Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority has a new and invincible weapon to sidestep the “peace process” and force Jews out of Judea and Samaria. It has announced it will plant 750,000 olive trees, enough to cover all of “Area C.”
The Jewish Home took a stand against freeing more terrorists. It knew it would lose. The Likud won the battle but may have lost the next war – the one that is fought at the election polls.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's gestures toward President Bashar Assad will only bring him closer to Iran, Hizbollah and radical Palestinian groups that oppose any peace with Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry agreed in a meeting in Rome Wednesday that “no deal [with Iran] is better than a bad deal.” Iran “shouldn't have a plutonium heavy water plant, which is used only for nuclear weapons,” the Prime Minister said. “They should get rid of the advanced […]
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas was in Lithuania this week to solidify backing for his agenda that would prevent Jews from living in Judea and Samaria and turn the areas into exclusive Palestinian Authority territory. His nine-year strategy of drumming up support with visits around the world has won him virtually universal backing. Lithuanian President […]
A mob of dozens of Palestinian Authority rock-throwers injured five Jews on the road from Tekoa, in eastern Gush Etzion, to Jerusalem Tuesday morning.

Israel insisted in July that it would release 104 terrorists in four stages as a test of Abbas’ willingness for peace. Three murders and two attempted murders later, Israel will bow to Kerry for stage two.

Soldiers on routine patrol along the Gaza security fence Monday morning discovered a large bomb that terrorists had planted for detonating when an army vehicle passes.

He cited both Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as being “powerless’ in their leadership and suggested […]
The “peace talks” would explode if the Knesset were to virtually eliminate the chance of dividing Jerusalem. Count on Netanya and Livni to force a Knesset panel to change a decision that could blow up the talks.
A PA terrorist fled his religious Jewish hostage after cutting off his sid locks in western Gush Etzion. Just as worrisome, the media almost totally ignored the incident. It might upset peace talks.
IDF troops shot the infiltrator as he attempted to breach the town's fence.
Four young Palestinian Authority girls died of suffocation in a car near Hevron while their parents were picking olives Thursday. One other girl in the car survived but is in critical condition, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency. The girls were locked inside the vehicle and were unable to unlock the doors. The ages […]
The political “center” always warps the memory of Rabin with its “peace is made with enemies” agenda, but when Peres spouts the "status quo can’t continue," he can't see it does not exist.
The IDF released a video Wednesday showing how it blew up a terror tunnel reaching Israel. The problem is there are hundreds of others waiting to be found and blown up before terrorists blow up Israelis.
It seems the PA delayed the report on charges that Israel poisoned Arafat because there is no proof; it settles for the "possibility” he was poisoned. Chemists tell The Jewish Press: Nonsense.
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas called a meeting Sunday night with top security officials to discuss increasing unrest, but his concern is stopping riots against his government and not at halting terrorist attacks on Israelis/ The PA’s official WAFA website reported Monday, “Abbas listened in the meeting attended by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and Minister […]
Peace with the Palestinian Authority and even with Iran is to be made only by Israel and not by the Arabs and Persians, if one is believe the remarks by the grandson of Yitzchak Rabin Saturday night at an annual rally to mark the former Prime Minister‘s assassination in 1995. Yonatan Ben-Artzi made absolutely no […]
The European Union has donated tents to dozens of Arabs in Area “C” in the southern Hevron Hills to help them dig in for the winter in their attempt to create “facts on the ground” and take over the region that officially is under Israeli control as agreed in the Oslo Accords. The Arabs, most […]

Another Big Lie is exposed. Rav Ovadia favored giving up land for peace in 1993. But when the PA blew up the Oslo Accords 10 years later, the rabbi ruled, “Oslo is null and void. This is not the peace I meant.”
Abbas is doing a great job to make the PA non-existent. He claims cooperation with the IDF is great but the IDF must stop entering Arab cities to arrests terrorists. Even Livni is not that naïve to agree.
The Hamas terrorist organization has scolded Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas for sending condolences to the family of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Abbas sent his message of sorrow via 12 visiting Knesset Members who met with him in Ramallah. Abbas told them he has previously met with members of the revered rabbi’s family. One of Rabbi […]
Five years ago, the IDF abandoned a base called Shdema near Bethlehem, part of “Area C” designated as Israeli-controlled, and tried to turn it over to Arabs. A group of women stopped the army.
Be careful what you wish for. Netanyahu again turns Abbas’ refusal to see Israel as a Jewish state a "red line.” If Abbas “doesn’t miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” fine. But what if Abbas calls his bluff?
Several hours before a PA terrorist gunned down a nine-year-old Jewish girl in Psagot, PA security forces in Jenin cracked down on local criminals while Hams tried to set up cells under the PA’s nose.
“Peace talks” resumed on condition of Israel’s freeing 104 terrorists, one batch at a time as a test of PA “peace.” Abbas did not keep his end of the deal, but you can count on Israel to let him off the hook.

Move over Kohn Kerry and let the moviemakers take over. It took five years of negotiations for an IMAX visual tour of Jerusalem, including the three major religions, to come to the screen.
Police looking for illegal PA workers, and were surprised by the forged Israeli ID they found.
More than two-thirds, 68 percent to be exact, of Palestinian Authority Arabs believe that American intervention in Middle East policies harms stability in the region, according to a new poll carried out in mid-September by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion. The same survey also revealed that a tiny majority of 50.3 percent favors the […]
Israel and Iran may be the only two countries that tell each other what they really think, without diplomatic niceties. Tehran calls Netanyahu a liar after he warned that Iran tries to deceive the world.
Terror from Gaza resumes. The army spotted two armed terrorists and opened fire before the cell could carry out an attack on a nearby Jewish community. Aircraft are looking for the terrorists.
The Palestinian Authority puts a new meaning into the term “red line.” Fatah, headed by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, states on Facebook,"Blood of Martyrs (Shahids) that draws the borders of the homeland."
How can the government stop building in Judea and Samaria without saying so? Simple. Just stop “settlements” from buying land from Palestinian Authority Arabs. The High Court will decide who is right.
“Truth or Consequences” was an old TV show. An entertainer performed a stupid stunt if he could not answer an equally stupid trivia question. Now Netanyahu and Obama are playing, but it is not a game.
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas continues a quiet and determined global campaign for recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a country and now has brought Haiti and Grenada into the growing number of countries who have established diplomatic relations. Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki signed the protocols with his Haitian and Grenadian counterparts at United Nations […]
J Street, the pro-Palestinian Authority Jewish lobby that calls itself “Pro-Israel,” offered weak applause to Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni when she defended the IDF in a speech Saturday night at the opening of the annual J Street conference. While Livni received a rousing welcome and warm support from the crowd for her comments defending […]
Obama was not joking at the UN. He actually said, “The world is a more stable place today than it was five years ago.” Does he watch TV? Does he know that Islamic terrorists killed 400 people in five days?
When we wrote two months ago here that Obama’s reincarnated “peace process” was doomed from the start, we stated the ugly truth: Terrorists would drive in the first nail. Yet, the PA blames Israel.

Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday that the absence of a Palestinian Authority condemnation of the kidnap-murder at the hands of a PA Arab terrorist over the weekend proves that leadership of Mahmoud Abbas leadership has no intention of making peace with Israel. “The fact that the Palestinian Authority hasn’t […]

Israel will allow building materials for private projects into Gaza for the first time since 2007, when the Palestinian terror group Hamas seized control of the territory. An Israeli defense official said that Israel’s decision came after a request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Israel previously has allowed the shipment to Gaza of cement, […]
Even the UN denounced the Palestinian Authority terrorist kidnap-murder of an Israeli soldier, but PA chairman Abbas has nothing to say. Based on previous demands, he should seek release of the killer.
While Abbas insists that a Palestinian Authority state will include all of the Jordan Valley, Israel plans facts on the ground to dissect it with a “dream road” from Gush Etzion to the Dead Sea.

A group of 16 Knesset Members in Israel’s governing coalition, many from the Likud that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu heads, wrote him on Sunday not to give up territory to the Palestinian Authority. In a letter sent to the Prime Minister during his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the MKs called on […]
Israel and Palestinian Authority negotiators promised Kerry they would hold secret talks, without using the media to promote agendas. Israel has obliged. PA negotiator Saeb Erekat has not.
Here is the latest jihadist history lesson: Israel killed Yasser Arafat because he refused to sign an agreement at Camp David in 2000. Islamic Jihad leader Mohammed al-Hindi, speaking during a rally in Gaza City, claimed that Arafat was put under siege after returning from the summit, before being poisoned for his unyielding position, the […]

Jordanian children are taught from early ages to idolize Palestinian terrorists such as including Dalal Mughrabi, who in 1978 led a bus attack in which 37 Israeli civilians were killed, Palestinian Media Watch reported Sept. 12. Najla Sahwil, a Jordanian actress, recently told the official Palestinian Authority (PA) TV channel that she and her Jordanian […]
Israel has one life support. It starts with Yom Kippur.
John Kerry says an Israeli-Peace peace pact is “important to “regional security and stability.” ZOA says he is full of nonsense: Arab wars on Israel have nothing to do with their own internal problems.

Israel may have struck it rich twice – once with indications of oil off the southern coast and twice with the prospect of Hamas and Abbas fighting it out over probable claims to the Israeli discovery.
The Women of the Wall was so focused on Haredim that the girls forgot to ask Jordan for permission to pray in their own minyan. Now maybe the WoW will wake up to reality and pray on the Temple Mount.

The greatest danger for Israel would be to listen to the bad advice of Obama, Kerry, and their supporters.
The closer the Palestinian Authority gets to become a country, the more it spits in the face of those who feed it. Abbas says Obama should stay out of Syria; PA media blame Obama for the civil war and 9/11.
Palestinian Authority security forces were forced to flee from gunmen early Monday during an attempt to arrest them, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency. PA soldiers, officially called “policemen,” raided a village in northeast Samaria to carry out arrests but were forced to withdraw under a hail of Molotov cocktails. The security forces returned later […]

The Hamas regime in Gaza now is welcoming the announcement by Israel to build new homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, convinced that Arabs will take them over the property as they did in Gaza after the expulsion of Jews from the region in 2005. Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar said the Jewish […]
When Erdogan blames Israel for bringing down Morsi, the government condemns him, but it stays silent when a far more dangerous man, an Israeli preacher, says the same thing to Arab citizens of Israel.
Abbas has caught Israel sleeping at the political chessboard and has checked, if not checkmated, the government by stating he will give up the demand for foreign Arabs to flood Haifa and Jaffa.

Palestinian Authority Arabs throwing Molotov cocktails at passing Israeli cars in Samaria Thursday ignited a forest fire near the Jewish community of Neve Tzuf, located in the Binyamin region north of Jerusalem. Volunteers quickly arrived on the scene and began to extinguish the blaze to prevent flames from spreading to nearby homes, and firefighters arrived […]
Palestinian leaders have legitimized Israel to the point where it has become a "crime" for any Palestinian to be seen talking to, much less negotiating with any Israeli.
The Palestinian Authority has a regular habit of signing agreements, such as the Oslo Accords, and then breaking the rules to start all over again That is the same recipe being cooked up in the resumed “peace talks.”
The real “peace talks” are taking place in areas such as the Old City of Jerusalem, where Arabs threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at two Jewish homes Tuesday night. A guard was lightly wounded.
One of the least talked about issues in “peace talks” is security. Kerry “thinks,” pardon the term, that Abbas has stopped terror, so why didn’t the PA, instead of the IDF, raid Jenin to arrest a terrorist?

Israeli and Palestinian Authority negotiators met for a second round of hush-hush peace talks on Tuesday, reportedly in Jericho. The first round of talks was held last week in Jerusalem, and so far, both sides have more or less kept to a pledge of secrecy requested by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. The Israeli negotiators […]

U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), the House Majority Leader, said while leading a trip of 28 congressmen to Israel that he doesn’t envision progress in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until there is a Palestinian “cultural mind-shift.” “Until that point comes, I don’t think that there will be much progress,” Cantor said at a press conference in […]

Tzipi Livni, Israel’s senior negotiator in direct talks with the Palestinian Authority, could not resist the opportunity to say something about Wednesday night peace talks and revealed to reporters that the discussions were “serious.” Would anyone expect that the talks would not be serious? Thanks to Livni, everyone now knows that she and Saeb Erekat […]
Israel reportedly is prepared to make another “goodwill” move to the Palestinian Authority by handing over the bodies of more terrorists who were buried in Israel, according to the Hebrew-language newspaper Yediot Acharonot. Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Hussein al-Sheikh said that dozens of bodies will be turned over to the Palestinian Authority because of the […]
If the US were to call settlements ‘illegal,’ it would be defining Israel by its 1949-1967 borders. But if can’t even deny terrorists are ‘freedom fighters,’ it is defining the PA as a non-terror entity.

Israel gave Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas a double boost in the planned release of 26 terrorists names Monday morning, first by agreeing to Abbas’ pre-condition linking their freedom with the resumption of peace talks and secondly by including six terrorists from gangs that are rivals to Abbas’ Fatah party terrorist branch.

Israel has made another concession, without even being asked. The PA anthem was sung in Bethlehem for the Barcelona soccer team during its Peres-sponsored visit, but HaTikvah was ditched in Tel Aviv.
Israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders have freely denied the request of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry not to talk behind his back on direct talks, but the State Dept., has been trying to create a false conception that the two sides are talking with each other more than they really do.

The next round will be held after the first group […]
The PA puts its money where its mouth is, at least, when it talks to Arabs and not John Kerry. A PA TV program offers Arabs $100 to identify a city in “Palestine” mentioned in the Book of Jonah. Ashdod? Right.
Israel is so used to terror that it feels great when there are “only” 50 a month in Judea and Samaria. The US always gives Abbas credit for the reduction but never seems to blame them for attacks.
