In honor of Martin Luther King Day, a different 'dream'

I am advocating a halachically acceptable and Torah mandated embrace of values and concerns in harmony with Torah views even if the beneficiaries of these movements and causes are primarily non-Jews.

Like the old Monty Python bit, the two-state solution is a 'dead parrot.' The Press 'shopkeepers' keep trying to sell us its stiff body insisting the peace process is just pining for the Oslo accords.

Many Women of the Wall members applauded the passage of UNSC resolution 2334 demanding Israel return to pre-67 borders. WoW has no problem with the Kotel in Arab hands, just no separate prayers!

Israelis are drifting wider apart on where the moral boundaries on when soldiers are to "fire" are to be drawn. This debate is rapidly escalating where it has long been pushed under the carpet.

“Moderate peace partners” of the Palestinian Authority are threatening Trump they will react with violence if the US Embassy is moved to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. Will their threats stop Trump?

‘Is moving the US embassy to Jeruselam worth it?’ Is it the right thing to do? What will be the actual repercussions of this move? Is moving the embassy to Jerusalem worth the ‘price’ of doing that?

"How...how do parents say good bye to their children in the morning as they leave home...and then bury them that night?" How?

After 69 years of obstructionism, the Palestinian leadership no longer deserves a seat at the table. It is time for Israel to behave as the victor of the conflict, and to win the peace.

Neo-Nazi groups from the UK, Sweden, France and Greece will attend the march and “a representative of Hamas will be in attendance, and will give a speech about the international threat of the Jews.”

The Democratic Party is shaking off support for Israel because it views Israel through an anti-imperialist lens and because Muslims are a more important constituency in the long run for the party

Ellison, who is running to be the new chair of the Democratic National Committee was amongst the minority of Democrats who voted against the effort to condemn the UN censure of Israel. Not surprising

Elor Azarya is a soldier of Israel. 10 months ago we sent him into battle. His friend was stabbed in that battle. Elor raised his gun and shot the terrorist. It wasn't murder. It wasn't even manslaughter.

An angry Ari Fuld discusses when the boundaries get blurred between the good guys and the bad guys.

Does the UN compiling blacklist of companies doing business In 'West Bank' constitute their joining the BDS movement?

Not only was Elor Azariya slapped in the face, but every soldier with a gun. The message is they must, in the middle of battle, stop and think what some idiot judge will think of their action.

It is one thing to reside in the left wing of Orthodoxy. It’s another to cross lines that virtually all other segments of Orthodoxy said should never have been crossed.
