Charedim, Chilonim, Rightists, And Leftists: Netanyahu Juggles Them All
Israelis made it clear in this election that they want a real rightest government, he says, not a government of emotional Zionist speeches and compromise.
NBC’s Richard Engel Pushes Anti-Jewish Blood Libel In Iran Report
The increased pressure on Iran had nothing to do with the warlike American Jews or the militaristic Jewish State of Israel controlling foreign policy as Engel intimated, and everything to do with a defector from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
No, it’s NOT about “RACE”
There is no shortage of hatred here in our region, but it is not racism. And it is mostly Jew-hatred on the Arab side. There are some Jews that hate Arabs, usually because of a bad experience, such as experiencing terrorism, but the government, media, and cultural establishment have sent a message of peace and tolerance since the beginning of the state and especially since the Oslo period of the 1990s
Who Can Count the Dust of Jacob?
A beautiful meditation on Israel's Memorial Day: In the cities, towns and villages-- the dead are remembered. Those who died with weapons in their hands and those who just died. Men, women and children. Drops of blood cast to the dust, reborn as flowers on lapels. Reborn as memory.
Vile: US Rep @RashidaTlaib pretends Palestinians helped Jews after the Holocaust
Tlaib's words go beyond mere whitewashing these historic facts. She is not only claiming that Palestinians deserve credit for helping Jews after the Holocaust. She is also saying that Palestinians were Holocaust victims themselves, by giving up "their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence" for Jews to have a place to go.
Larry’s Letters: Palestinian Arabs Created a Safe Haven for Jews After the Holocaust–NOT!
There is no taste for peace among the Palestinian Arabs, They want Israel gone.
The New York Times Excuses Palestinian “Localized Expressions of Impatience.” I Mean Rockets.
The horrible anti-Israel bias of the NY Times has been going on for roughly a decade however, one cannot help but marvel at the entirely new expressions concocted at the paper to excuse the Palestinian war crimes.
Two Presidents, Two Different Reactions To Hamas Violence
Though the Obama administration would declare the United States supported Israel’s right to defend herself; however, they wouldn’t end there. Obama and his team usually found a way to add a false equivalency statement inferring both sides bore some responsibility for the violence while Trump has shown unequivocal support for Israel
They Want to Win–Do we?
We barely trimmed the weeds, with the IDF ordered to end the fighting before the Memorial Day and Independence Day celebrations this week, and the Eurovision song contest which will begin next Tuesday in Tel Aviv
It’s Israel’s 71st Birthday: Thank God And U.S. President Harry Truman
Truman was a president who judged not whether things would make America popular in the Arab world, but whether it was the right thing for the US. The man from Independence, Mo. knew the best thing for America’s future was for to grab the moral leadership position of the entire world.
You Can’t Make this Stuff Up
Have we learned nothing?
The Injustice of Moral Equivalence
The media coverage is so consistently biased against Israel, I’m surprised that there aren’t more Americans that blame Israel for all that’s wrong in the world.
Ari Fuld on Yom Hazikaron – 5776 (2016)

Larry’s Letters: NYU Boycotts NYU at Tel Aviv University
Dear NYU, Maybe once your Tel Aviv campus is closed, you will be able to save substantial amounts of money. We are desperately in need of funds to continue providing pensions to the families of our martyrs and heroes who have perfumed our sacred earth with the blood of Israelis.
Cartoons, “Criticism of Israel,” and Jew-hatred
Let the New York Times apologize for years of continuous negative focus on Israel as well as the stupid cartoon. Or not apologize--does it matter?
Gantz Was a Mediocre General
Gantz's conduct of the war in Gaza was mediocre if not incompetent. Neither he nor Ya`alon, his partner in Blue-White should ever be in a senior political or military position.

The Good Prince and the Iran Deal
Taken by itself, it seems that war between Israel and Iran is guaranteed. But there is one other possibility – the only alternative that I can imagine, given the objectives of the Iranian regime. And that is that the regime can be toppled by internal opposition encouraged by economic pressure from the US.
From Slavery to Freedom
The Exodus is not the story of the emergence of free men who were enslaved, but the slow painful process by which slaves became a nation of free men, a long troubled journey which has not yet ended
Poway and Jews in America
The Jewish community has not yet fully recovered from the mass shooting of Jewish worshipers in Pittsburgh and something like this happens. That is enough to traumatize Jews all over America. Should we be worried? Are we re-living 1930s Germany?
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.
Did the Trump Effect Change Lebanon’s Mind for Drawing Maritime Borders with Israel?
Could it be that the softening of the Gulf Arab states towards Israel, and Trump's embrace of Israel's side in the Golan and elsewhere, is injecting some realpolitik into Lebanese thinking?
Calls From the Ashes
The sentiments were that destruction of these particular Christian houses of worship were an affront to people of all faiths, not just Christians. If only the Jews in Jerusalem could get an iota of those sentiments.

1920s British Inadvertently Helped Jerusalem Become Central to Islam
Tthe Dome of the Rock is ubiquitous in Palestinian political life today because the British thought they would get goodwill from the Arabs of Palestine if they helped repair the long-ignored site. Instead, it was used to fuel antisemitism and create Palestinian nationalism - which were, and remain, joined at the hip.
Larry’s Letters to the Editor: Resolution to Boycott Israel to be held on Passover
How do anti-Semitic college kids celebrate Passover? Voting on a resolution to boycott Israel
Inspiration from Zion: Freedom of the Jews
It is the shackles of the mind that are truly preventing freedom. No matter what Jews of diaspora mentality (or the world powers) say, we will not willingly join them in their bondage but our hands are outstretched to pull them into freedom.
