    The Real “Symbol of the Conflict”: Neta Sorek

    The real “symbol of the conflict” is a slaughtered Jewish feminist peace activist by Palestinian Arabs who infiltrated Israel.

    Israeli Politics Just Got More Complicated

    Personally I like the idea of a party that is firmly right-wing on security matters and which can walk the sometimes fine line between respect for Jewish tradition and religious coercion.

    Holocaust Deniers Fear For Future Of Denial As Original Deniers Die Off

    Even a soldier who was only seventeen at war’s end would be pushing ninety today.

    Farrakhan Is Only A Tiny Part Of Women’s March Leaders’ Big anti-Semitism

    There you go, Louis Farrakhan or not, the Women’s March is run by a cabal of anti-Semites.

    Our Iranian War

    Iran would like to see the next war fought on Israel’s territory. It would like to see the casualties on its side being Lebanese, Palestinian, and Iraqi, not Iranian. It would like to see Israel wounded, but itself come out unscathed. It is up to Israel to ensure that this doesn’t happen.

    92 Redux: Is This the End of the Israeli Right, Or a New Beginning?

    Bennett and Shaked's breakaway party will either strengthen Israel's right, or completely destroy it in the upcoming elections...

    Half a Loaf

    When I came to live in Israel decades ago it seemed as if there was a neighborhood grocery on almost every street. You could...

    Questions and answers on Israel and world Jewry

    Jeremy Corbyn’s Supporters Attack

    The war has many fronts-physical and cyber.

    Our Fragile Strategic Paradise

    Israel’s leaders must realize that today we are living in a temporary strategic paradise, which can end at any time. If Theresa May, Trump, or Putin (or worse, all three) should be supplanted by their likely replacements, our freedom of action – diplomatic, economic, and military – would be severely circumscribed.

    Rabbinate To Charge Non-Kosher Restaurants For Non-Kosher Certification

    Establishments pursuing a more elite non-kosher clientele will also enjoy more expensive options such as certification that the establishment uses or serves wine consecrated or offered to idolatry.

    Israel and the Structural Islamic Discrimination of the UN

    Israel’s inability to get a fair hearing at the UN is no longer a matter of ideology or politics, but a manifestation of structural Islamic supremacism due to the makeup of the UN General Assembly.

    No Protection for Jewish Holy Sites?

    Only Israel can be trusted to guard Israel's Jewish sites.

    Jordan can be Palestine

    We have reached our breaking points. There are murders and attempted murders almost every day. We try to make agreements, to improve their living conditions, to use the minimum amount of force necessary to protect ourselves. We knock on roofs, shoot rubber bullets, issue work permits, dismantle communities because there is a claim of Palestinian ownership, approve the same building plans over and over without building. They kill Jews.

    Not Remembering, Forgetting and Never Knowing

    Over the past few decades, the Arab and Muslim world have been very active in denying and recasting Jewish history.

    Goodbye, Rav Elon

    And then the news hit this week. Once again, allegations surfaced. Only this time, I would have to admit and finally accept with a heavy heart, that I could no longer see him as a teacher of Torah.

    Inspiration from Zion: Meet the Maccabees: My Nation forever, Israel

    And because his was a life of symbolism, his parents gave him a name that means everything: Ami-ad Israel--My Nation forever, Israel.

    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

    Important Message from an IDF Soldier

    The soldier asked to publicize to Am Yisrael that we are stronger than our enemies and that it is a miracle that he is alive.

    Existing While Jewish

    The viral racism in Palestinian Arab society seems to have no limits.

    PLEASE Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Haven’t We Jews Suffered Enough?

    Why is she picking on us? Can’t she claim to be a fake Cherokee like Elizabeth Warren, or fake her race like Rachel Doležal?

    Was Kahane right?

    Nobody in Jewish Israel wants to say that the ideal of coexistence with the 20% of our population that are Arabs is unobtainable, that we are getting farther away from it as time goes by rather than closer. But that’s how it seems today.

    Blame the Jews

    In the age of intersectionality, it is taken as a given that racism against blacks in the US and “oppression” of Palestinians by Israel are similar phenomena, and that opposition to one kind of oppression demands opposition to all. This analogy is embarrassingly stupid.

    Emes Ve-Emunah: A Breathtaking Distortion of Chanukah and Judaism

    Chanukah is not a holiday about our violent intolerance of others as Binyamin Zahav seems to suggest. It is a holiday of freedom from anti religious tyranny imposed by a kingdom bent on eradicating our faith and traditions.

    Inspiration from Zion:: From the Maccabees to the IDF: 6 Things you NEED to...

    Hanukah is a celebration of Jewish nationalism (which does not exist without God) and not a holiday of religious holiness although there are some prayers that are specifically associated with Hanukah. It similar to celebrating Israel’s Independence Day which also commemorates the victory of a tiny group of stubborn Jews fighting for sovereignty and freedom, against an enemy much more powerful and well equipped and – by the grace of God – WINNING.

    The Light of Chanukah

    And now the flame still burns, though it is flickering. Sixty-eight years is a long time for oil to burn, especially when the black oil next door seems so much more useful to the empires and republics across the sea. And the children of many of those who first lit the flame no longer see the point in that hoary old light.
