Where would the IDF direct its fire if not at the sites of the missile launchers?

Outside the battered wall of the kindergarten, we met with registered nurse Carol Simantov, from Levittown, Pa., who has seen up close the wages of this war. But to my surprise, she harbored no resentment, not even anger. Instead, she spoke wistfully about her friends back inside the Gaza strip, who are suffering under the yoke of the Hamas government.

The opponents of the proposed judicial reform are not defending liberal democracy, but promoting Orwellian dystopia 

Since the founding of the state, the goal of Israel's leaders has been to make Israel a normal state like all other states.

A collection of fun and fascinating facts about the national anthems of the US and of Israel-The Star Spangled Banner and Hatikvah

Whatever the debate over the JCPOA, there may well be a broader consensus in the administration that Iran’s growing military role in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere in the region must be countered.

There are countries that practice diplomacy as a form of fine art and there are countries that practice diplomacy as an “in your face” martial art. And there are countries that practice a mix of the two arts.

We must allow our limited selves to take a step back, lean into Hashem's presence, and trust that whatever outcome occurs, we can embrace it with Hashem’s help.

The alt-left’s eagerness to embrace the alt-right’s fantasy of Israel shows how alike both fringes are: the alt-right wants a white state without Jews, the alt-left wants a world without a Jewish state.

As Abbas begins the 14th year of his 4-year term he has hardly been the model of accountability, abusing his position to secure fortunes for his family. He tolerates no dissent, marginalizing and arresting critics. If a democratic and accountable state is necessary for peace with Israel, Abbas has failed to deliver either.

What does God thinks when, after 2,000 years of exile, He sees so many Jews apologetic and defensive about calling Israel a Jewish state?

Many Jews join the Israel-haters with their progressive ideology and politically correct obsessions.

Though unadulterated ambition may have been a prime motivating force behind Ed’s denouncement of Israel and embrace of the Palestinians, no one denies his belief in what he says.

American policy and the global war against Al Qaeda and the associated groups and nations that support them – i.e., Iran and Syria – are collapsing. Blame goes beyond liberal politicians intent on destroying the Bush administration, a pernicious press and the radical left which rules academe, mainline churches and the media.

Certain Arab/Islamic critics of Israel often speak of some deeply sinister Jewish migrations to "Palestine" after World War I, neglecting to mention that (1) there has been a large and continuous Jewish presence in the land for over 3,000 years; and (2) there has been a continuing Jewish majority in Jerusalem.

Wrecking Thanksgiving, like the family, womens' sports and Star Wars is just one of those things lefties do.

In the absence of a functioning Palestinian parliament, Abbas has taken it upon himself to issue his own laws.

We know we speak for many in our community when we express sadness at the news that the United States Supreme Court on Monday decided not to review the 27-year sentence meted out to former Agriprocessors chief executive Sholom Rubashkin.

The NY Times and the Washington Post believe that Israel’s polices are to blame for “provoking” Arab hostility and violence. If you have any doubts, just read their headlines.

Despite the many Arab attacks, the media focuses on any and all purported "JEWISH" incidents

"Honest" racists like Noor are much easier to deal with than the insidious lies of progressive-Left
