Matzah as a Symbol of Jewish Heroism
Matzah is also a symbol of Jewish resistance and faith, one that was sanctified down through the generations by the sacrifices made by countless Jews to observe the precept even at times of national calamity.
Notre Dame: An Omen
The symbolism of the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral, the most renowned building in Western civilization, is hard to miss. It is as if G-d Himself wanted to warn us in the most unmistakable way that Western Christianity is burning – and with it, Western civilization.
What Happened?
When I was asked during the campaign how such diverse elements could support Zehut, I explained that the unifying factor was an aspiration for liberty, the will to get the state out of our lives.
Jewish Critics of Israel Have a Problem with Israelis, Not Netanyahu
The willingness of major groups and denominations to try to undermine the choice of Israel’s voters calls into question their belief in and respect for democracy.
INTO THE FRAY: Restoring Jewish Sovereignty
Intensive investment must be made in civil society frameworks that can not only draw the idea of extended Israeli sovereignty into the main-stream discourse as a legitimate political objective, but as one that can dominate that discourse
Are Women Malcontents?
If you were to listen to many American women today, you would think nothing has improved. Every women’s group and millions of individual women say women are “oppressed” despite the fact that virtually nothing remains of the “feminine mystique” described by Friedan.
What would Menachem Begin Think about Israel’s Elections?
It’s nice that this hero’s greatness is finally being recognized by all segments of Israeli society, but the notion that he has somehow become an avatar of today’s left-wingers is bunk.
Palestinian Leaders Punish Gaza, Blame Israel
According to the logic of the PA, the conflict started when Israel fired back. The PA leaders are afraid to condemn the rocket attacks on Israel. They evidently do not want to be accused by their people of betraying the Palestinian "resistance" against Israel.
How The Left Keeps Me Religious
The left is also the Western home of contemporary anti-Semitism. There are individual anti-Semites across the political spectrum, but the incubator of modern anti-Semitism is the left. The left has rendered Zionism, the oldest national movement in history, a vile insult.
Zehut Will Demand The Finance Ministry
A vote for the Zehut liberty coalition is a vote for a just, ethical, prosperous, better society – a state in which economic bullying is not an option, and the fruits of economic growth will reach all the citizens and not just a handful of insiders
Into the Fray: Trump’s Presidential Decree on the Golan – A Moral and Practical...
In issuing his recent presidential decree, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, President Donald followed the commendable policy pattern he has set...of not following the policy patterns set by his predecessors.

Palestinians appear finally fed up with the apartheid and discriminatory laws they have been subjected to in Lebanon...
The Islamic Hate That Killed a Little Jewish Girl Still Haunts France
To understand the origins of Rep. Omar or Rep. Tlaib’s anti-Semitism, look to the Merah family.
There Is No Substitute For Victory
If Israel is forced to send soldiers into Gaza, it should only with a single, clear goal: Absolute defeat of Hamas and restoration of the pre-Oslo situation in Gaza. Absolute defeat – not a half-hearted skirmish.
Just Assume The Left Is Lying
If you always doubt a leftist claim, you will almost always be closer to the truth. Name the issue and you will likely find a left-wing lie.
INTO THE FRAY: Israel’s High Court-When Legality Loses Legitimacy
In overturning a previous decision of the Knesset’s Central Elections Committee, the High Court took another giant step towards further undermining the already dwindling public confidence in the Israeli judiciary.
Your Kid Goes To Yale? So What?
Tell your children from the day they understand language that you care far more about their character than about their grades or what college (if any) they go to. Only then will you have a child you can brag about.
A Modern Jewish Fairy Tale
Subsuming anti-Semitism under general, bland, catch-all anti-racist wording is a typical Corbyn and British Labour tactic. Instead of condemning the racist Omar, the reworded motion turned her into the victim. Still, the situation here is not as bad as in the UK – yet. It could get that bad very soon.
What College Does To Your Child
If you are grateful to be an American, you are, by definition, not a leftist.
What Does Feiglin Believe?
Clearly, the group of soiled generals that has gathered around Gantz is not exactly my cup of tea. But Netanyahu and his group have no new message, either. I came from the Right, I am loyal to this land and Jewish identity is part of my soul. But I will join whoever will make it possible for me to advance my platform in the best way.
The Jerusalem Butterfly Effect
The question of who owns which land in Jerusalem, and where Arabs or Jews will build and expand, has significance well beyond the borders of the city or even the country
What WON’T Change if Gantz Replaces Netanyahu
The Ilhan Omar debacle in the House illustrates that the next Israeli government will be just as dependent on AIPAC and the Republicans as the current one.
INTO THE FRAY: “Palestine” – Time to say “No!”
The two-state paradigm’s deadly detriments are now so glaringly apparent that it is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile calls for Palestinian statehood with genuine concern for the well-being of the Jewish nation-state.
Palestinians: Arresting, Torturing Journalists
In the world of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, the only "good" journalists are those who report negatively about Israel.
INTO THE FRAY: Will the “Deep-State” Destroy Democracy
The unrelenting drive to bring an indictment—any indictment—against Netanyahu has long exceeded the bounds of reasonable law enforcement.
Palestinians: No Peace or Reconciliation with the ‘Infidels’
Even if some Arabs do sign peace treaties with Israel, there will always be those Muslims who will denounce them as "traitors" and accuse them of acting against the Koran and the rulings of Islam.
