So we should not be surprised that he would embark on a plan to reorganize all three of the above by trying to arrange for the redistribution of wealth and the intimidation of both Congress and the Supreme Court. I agree that our president acts like he never left those Chicago neighborhoods where he tried to organize opposition to The Man.

Egyptian Portents
The termination by the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company of its long term contract to deliver gas to Israel is only a portent of actions to come as the Muslim Brotherhood takes control of that nation. With a long history of anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic rhetoric, that now politically important group advocates ending the treaty with Israel and essentially renewing confrontation with the Jewish state.

The only reason why Egypt has not resorted to treaty cancellation is the funding it receives from the U. S., both for its military and for projects to bolster the Egyptian economy. We asked for a democracy in Egypt but instead now appear to have a government that will not only not honor previous agreements but will be hostile to Israel as well as to its own Coptic Christians.

Hosni Mubarak, despite his anti-Israel rhetoric, was a better option than the present rulers in Egypt. A mistake was made by the Obama administration in greasing the skids for his removal – a mistake that Israel and the U. S. will regret.

She has been here with me several times already, over almost thirty years, on various vacations that we remember with considerable affection and pleasure. But now we need to be entirely honest about Switzerland in World War II. Not all Jewish refugees had the good fortune to be rescued here. There were grave mistakes, very [...]

Israel is a country that understands security concerns. Many civil rights have been sacrificed in the name of security and Israelis are used to being checked every time they enter a shopping center, a large store or any public building. Americans recently learned that they, too, are subject to many checks on their most private activities.

Without a clear worldview, it is impossible to coherently deal with the challenge of the strategic changes taking place throughout the world – and particularly in the Middle East. Before our very eyes, a worldwide and local revolution is unfolding; their significance is greater than both World Wars combined.

No one can envy President Obama’s current dilemma over Syria.

His decision to begin arming the Syrian rebels challenging Bashar Assad’s regime drew charges that the rebel forces are driven by jihad movements, particularly al Qaeda. Further, many rebel spokesmen have regularly denounced Israel and suggested that once in power they will end Mr. Assad’s policy of not rocking the boat with Israel. How, then, critics ask, could the president align the U.S. with the rebels?

In a gushing report on the election of Hassan Rohani as Iran’s new president, The New York Times began with this: “In a striking repudiation of the ultraconservatives who wield power in Iran, voters…overwhelmingly elected a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world.”

Last month in this space we noted that the New York State Assembly was considering legislation that would prohibit domestic insurers from including on their financial statements investments in companies that engage in investment activities in Iran. These financial statements are relied upon by the state to determine whether the company is solvent and able to pay claims. That bill has since passed the Assembly, but the New York State Senate is balking at passing it as well.

There is no other candidate running for mayor who supports our community’s values as Salgado does.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then children’s eyes are the window to the Almighty Himself.

Adding Turkey to the list of volatile states would mean even more uncertainty for Israel.

Making Rouhani the president was a brilliant strategic move for Khamene’i.

Noone, least of all me, wants to see any Arab child suffer, God forbid.

The Sanctuary was built with an ezrat nashim, a separate area for women.

The 686 men who expressed their desire to run in Iran’s presidential election were whittled down to 8.
