Op-Eds

Abbas and his officials, in short, are telling the Israelis: "Look, we have a problem here. This man, Netanyahu, will not surrender to us -- and that is why you need to elect a new leader."

In a special column in Israel Hayom, Yamina leader Naftali Bennett says a vote of his party is the only way to prevent the inception of a Palestinian state.

Our economic growth is at an all-time high, as is the GDP-per capita, tourism, and exports. Unemployment is at an all-time low. We have connected the periphery to central Israel through a network of roads and railways.

He has been demonstrating to his direct Likud supporters, as well as to members of his right-wing and religious party bloc, that after 11 years running he still wants the job more than ever.

All the polls indicate that neither Likud nor Blue and White will be able to realistically form a government alone.

The real cause of the descent into anti-Zionism and hatred of Jews is secular liberalism, and the cultural fissure that has opened up along fault lines going back to the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Which of the candidates for Israeli prime minister is truly going to build, and who is going to bury the building in years more of sterile peace processing and doomed attempts to achieve “international consensus”?

Mordechai single-handedly throws cold water on every justification Jews have for remaining in exile.

Just because George Soros is a magnet for anti-Semites does not mean there aren’t well-founded grounds for complaints against his behavior.

To solve the tuition crisis, I propose, first, that Jewish community leaders push members to provide the lion’s share of their charitable contributions to day schools or day school-supporting organizations.

The failure of Zionist organizations, spokespeople and politicians to address the dangers of the “Peace to Prosperity” proposal is nothing short of alarming.

Israel is a Jewish state--heck, even our Ninjas are Jewish!

here are other Arabs in the region who are more fortunate than the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip: the Arab citizens of Israel.

The revelers’ desire to be understood in context is only fair, but what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

To the Left, Im Tirtzu is a political beast, one extremely successful at attacking the attackers of the State. How dare we!

Instead of celebrating an ideological and political victory, the leaders of the settlement enterprise are unnecessarily anxious.

"Why bother exercising the right to vote when the 'wrong' choice can be annulled by the media and the chancellor through propaganda and veto?... Do we stand for democracy or for elections until the results suit the ruler?" — Dushan Wegner, political commentator, February 7, 2020.

Whatever its shortcomings, the “Peace to Prosperity” proposal has attempted to tackle the refugee elephant in the room, and for that alone deserves praise.

If the strategic processes now taking place with regard to Israel's two most formidable adversaries aren’t given time to mature, they can and likely will be undone.

The claim by the elected representatives of the Israeli Arab public that they are the original owners of the land while the Jewish citizens of Israel (and, by implication, the State of Israel itself) are “colonialist invaders” is a complete inversion of historical reality. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s declaration about the legality of the West Bank’s Jewish communities, along with President Trump’s peace plan based on that principle, offers a unique opportunity to correct that mistaken notion by applying sovereignty to all Israeli West Bank communities.

The U.S. plan’s suggestion that a group of communities disputed between Israel and Jordan following the 1948 war be part of a potential state of Palestine has drawn harsh criticism from all sides, and is based on a faulty reading of history.

To be clear, there is no international law whatsoever prohibiting business activity in conflict areas, occupied territory, or settlements. The idea that the companies on this list are violating human rights is almost laughable

nuclear weapons – developed almost exclusively by Jewish intellects (Einstein, Teller, Oppenheimer, et al.) – are actually Hashem’s gift to the world! They have kept the world at peace for over 80 years, which makes them arguably the most moral weapons ever developed.

It’s not so complicated. Palestinian leaders have long rejected peace with a Jewish state, treating terror as a bargaining tool. Yet “The Washington Post” seems unaware of this reality.
