    The First Actual Palestinian-American in Congress (and He Was Jewish)

    Did you know that there was a Palestinian-American in the House long before anyone else, who was in fact the only one who was actually a citizen of “Palestine,” and who had a Palestinian passport? And that he was Jewish?

    Reflections on a Massacre of Jews

    You are members of the Jewish people, not citizens of the world. You have a homeland, the State of Israel. Israel doesn’t need your money, but she needs you to ensure that your nation supports her in international forums and helps maintain military superiority against her enemies. Contrary to what her enemies say, Israel is the temporal center of power of the Jewish people, and her existence deters rather than encourages worldwide acts of Jew-hatred.

    Defending Israel against Reform Evangelism

    The New Israel Fund is in effect the military wing of the Reform Movement, using $ instead of rockets as weapons, annually giving millions to groups working to remake the state of Israel in accordance with its vision, and even to some groups whose goal is to destroy it.

    The Trump Declaration

    Trump can’t make Jerusalem our capital – only the people of Israel can do that. But his statement represents a crack in the truly anti-Semitic double standard that has been applied to Israel with respect to Jerusalem since 1948.

    Israel at War — with Corona

    There are many unknowns. Will the virus die out or slow its progression during the summer, as happens with the flu? If so, will it come back next winter? There are at least three laboratories in Israel on the verge of testing a vaccine. Will there be an effective one and when will it be ready? Are there other possibilities for treatment?

    Sovereign or Satellite?

    Do we, as Israelis, want to tie our survival to the USA? Or any other great power, like China for example? I don’t think so.

    The Truth is a Minority Opinion

    A great, quick overview of the Jewish legal claim to Israel.

    Should African Migrants be Allowed to Stay in Israel?

    Israel, smaller than New Jersey and with a population of 8 million, is not the address to solve the problems of the continent of Africa’s 1.2 billion people and should not be accepting the migrants

    It’s the Narrative, Stupid

    Virtually all Palestinians believe a false narrative designed to combine with the features of the Arab and Muslim culture in such a way as to create endless, insoluble conflict with the Jewish state.

    It’s All About Bibi

    Bennett, whose party has a total of seven seats, is probably not going to be Prime Minister this time. I will go out on a limb and predict that Bibi will manage to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat once again.

    Unfinished Business

    Who remembers Jonathan Pollard?

    Goodbye, Jewish-American busybodies

    American Jewish progressives use their DNA to justify vicious and damaging attacks on Israel. Creating organizations intended to demonize and delegitimize the only Jewish state. And you think that because of your Jewish parentage you somehow have a special right to do this!

    The Biden Administration and the “War of Return”

    It’s essential that everyone involved in relations between Israel and the Palestinians understand the real issues that underlie the conflict. And it would be a good thing if all parties could agree to use words the same way.

    What’s the Plan?

    I have a question for the Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, his cabinet, and indeed every member of the Knesset: What is your long-range plan to deal with Palestinian Arab terrorism, both by Palestinians from the territories and Israeli Arabs?

    Stop Supporting Palestinian Moral Inversion

    By saying that the demolition policy could also be applied to Jewish terrorists in some cases, Israel's Supreme Court is implying that there is an equivalence between Arab terrorism and certain crimes committed by Jews against Arabs.

    Reasons US Jewish Leaders have Problems with Netanyahu

    The fact that the letter from liberal Jewish leaders was addressed to Trump, rather than Netanyahu, shows even more strongly that they reject Israel’s pretension to self-government. The US, they think, guided by the “wisdom” of the leaders of its liberal Jewish community should force Israel to do its will. They are uncomfortable with a sovereign Jewish state, and would prefer a banana republic, with themselves calling the shots.

    Israel LOVES its Army

    One might wonder if there is any other country in the world that relates to its soldiers like Israel does. I certainly don’t know of any. Our enemies see it as a weakness to be exploited, and do so whenever they can. But it is also a strength, a motivation the leads Israeli young people to volunteer to take risks, knowing that they are not alone. The nation stands behind them.

    Nishbar Li–I’ve had Enough, I Won’t Take it Anymore.

    Uniformed soldiers were nearby, but they aimed and fired at the pregnant woman. Do I need to add anything? This is who (or what) the Palestinian Arabs are

    Timidity is no Virtue

    Right now Israel is facing a momentous decision to do something that is practically nothing.

    Notes on our Next War

    Everyone thinks war is unavoidable, and most people understand, at least on an intellectual level, that this war is going to be one of the toughest in Israel’s history.

    Kahane was Both Right and Wrong

    Kahane’s conclusion was that Jewish survival demanded the emigration of most of the Arabs from the area between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. And I believe that he was right about this. That doesn’t mean that they should be expelled violently

    Diasporism, a Bad Idea Whose Time has Come

    The Diaspora is a dead end for Jews, both physically and culturally. You can make a case for the continuance of Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and you can find many areas in which Israel needs to improve. But the necessity and centrality of the Jewish state to the continued existence of the Jewish people is indisputable.

    Just  Another Terrorist

    It’s tragic that he was assassinated before he had realized his potential as a leader. The contrast between his greatness and the smallness of his despicable murderer is palpable.

    The One Speech Jacobs will Never Make to Israeli Jews

    Jacobs seems to believe that he knows what’s best for Israel better than those who live here, send their children to the army, and duck when rockets are launched at them. His movement has taken up the cause of transforming Israeli society into a replica of liberal America, whether Israelis like it or not.

    The Ambassador from Obamastan

    It’s clear that we are back in Obamastan now, where the aspirations of the Palestinians have equal or greater weight than the security of the Jewish state; and where Israel must pay the price for the failures of the Arab leadership.

    Trumpus Maccabeus

    Rabbinical students with such an obviously limited understanding of Jewish history, both ancient and recent, who hear the cries of their “Palestinian brothers and sisters” more loudly than those of their Jewish ones who are being stabbed on the street in the Jerusalem that they claim to love so much, should find another line of work than being rabbis.

    The Return of the Echo Chamber

    Can any moral person seriously support the revolutionary Islamic regime in Iran? Two important lessons from recent Jewish history guide Israeli policy toward Iran: a) when they say they are going to kill you, believe them; and b) when they actually do try to kill you, almost nobody will come to your aid.

    The Government Fiddles while the People Burn

    The Prime Minister acts almost exclusively to protect himself, and not on behalf of the country. The evidence for this is the absurdly fat and expensive “unity” (one has to laugh) government with its 35 ministers and 8 deputy ministers. This structure exists so that Binyamin Netanyahu can continue to be Prime Minister. There is no other reason.
