InDepth → Letters To The EditorDangerous Times Are we blind to what’s happening? Are we so preoccupied that we don’t realize the seriousness of how Iran’s quest for a nuclear bomb is progressing? As a young man I could never understand why the Western powers did not stop Hitler when he was weaker in the 1930′s. Now I feel like [...]

Where was the world’s anger when Israeli citizens were [...]

InDepth → Letters To The EditorWho Are We? Churning emotions, stirred up by the events unfolding in our Holy Land, ran the gamut from admiration for the brave Israeli armed forces to trepidation for their safety – until I read “From Chupa to Kever: A Soldier’s Journey” by Judy Lash Balint (op-ed, July 28), a heart-wrenching account of the ultimate [...]

InDepth → Letters To The EditorThanks, Fox News As I sit here in Jerusalem writing, a fierce battle rages in Lebanon as our dear sons fight for the life and safety of the Jewish people in their homeland.

InDepth → Letters To The EditorHumans Or Beasts? Is this nation-in-waiting the world calls Palestine populated by humans or two-legged beasts? They abduct children off the street, as was the case with Eliyahu Asheri, who was summarily murdered. Then a senior citizen is abducted and brought over to the Palestinian side of the border. Israel entered Gaza to free a [...]
