Israel: Peace Only through Victory

The Jewish refugees from the Middle East know the truth: Only a sovereign people seen as invincible and indestructible are secure in this region.

The First Modern Orthodox Jew: Two Models

Was Lot the first Modern Orthodox Jew? He kept what he kept, nothing more, and resented being judged. He felt that his immersion in the local culture was permissible as long as he committed no overt sins and thus rationalized his conduct as still faithful to his upbringing. Ideology and especially values were secondary to the technical performances that he, for the most part, still observed

The Reign of the Prosecution

Ever since Mandelblit gave his “recommendations,” he and his comrades have been the only political actors in Israel with any power to speak of.

Pompeo’s Statement on Settlements is a Diplomatic Turning Point

President Trump’s extraordinary gesture of support for Israel and the rights of the Jewish people was evident in the historic statement. The U.S. has rightly concluded that falsely calling settlements illegal is not helpful for peace.

Zionism As A Reflection of Jewish History Past and Present

The story of Zionism is the story of the Jewish people. And if Jews don’t know that story and don’t take part in it, we will see greater rates of intermarriage and loss of identity. For this reason, I’d like to see my book taught in schools and universities.

U.S. Policy Change on Israeli Settlements: A Long Awaited Correction

Israelis residing in the West Bank are not violating international law.

Advancing Peace by Truth-telling

By changing the discourse about settlements, the Trump administration is laying the groundwork for realistic negotiation. Even if you think that Israeli settlement should be rolled-back in the context of a sensible peace arrangement, applying the demonizing epithet “illegal” makes for a destructive narrative that distances, not advances, peace.

We Have A Racism Problem

Would we prefer to be right, or effective? The answer, as Torah Jews, is that we have to be both: right and effective. That means increasing our sensitivity to the way others perceive us, whether we think those perceptions as justified or not.

Ending the Ambiguity

Israel had claims to Judea and Samaria; it did not invade another country, offensively, to take away its land. And the Palestinians weren’t living in a nation of their own that could be occupied.

Your Words Make you Wise

Take back the narrative and turn the tide

European Court Applies Double Standard against Israeli Products

Many commentators noted that of all the world's many territorial conflicts — from Crimea to Northern Cyprus to Tibet to Western Sahara — the EU has singled out Israel as the only country subject to special labelling requirements.

Trump’s Retreat: Implications for Israel

President Trump’s ill-advised decision to withdraw from Syria should be viewed in the context of two broader developments. In terms of foreign policy, both the Republicans and the Democrats are moving from international engagement to neo-isolationism; and strategically, the Pentagon is shifting from the war on terror to a renewed focus on Russia and China.

Mother Sarah Was The First Kahanist!

Was Kahane the first to advocate expelling enemies attacking Jews, or was it Mother Sarah ?

‘Labeling’ Israel as an Unequal Player on the World Stage

The European Court of Justice has discriminated against Jews by singling out Israeli businesses from Arab ones. Its ruling is deeply politicized and disreputable, owing everything to boilerplate European prejudice against Israel, and nothing to law and justice.

The Failure of the International Criminal Court (ICC)

The acceptance of a “Palestinian state” as a fully-fledged member state by the Court is an example of how the ICC is dependent upon political determinations of the UN’s General Assembly. The Palestinians have adopted the ICC as their own “back-yard tribunal” for baiting Israel. They regularly submit referrals against Israel’s leaders and settlement policy. In so doing, they are politicizing the Court.

Israel Faces Unprecedented Security Threats

The unprecedented convergence of strategic threats now taking shape under Iran’s inspiration and guidance requires the IDF to adopt a new operational approach without delay (including a reorganization and a suitable buildup) and the Israeli public to prepare for the emergency situations attending these new emergent threats.

I am AGAINST Iron Dome

Better to believe in the 'Iron Fist'

Our European ‘Friends’

The European Court of Justice's ruling to label goods produced in Judea and Samaria is nothing short of an anti-Semitic bombshell.

The European Union Labels Itself: ‘Biased’

The E.U. labeling requirement is an overt, political measure strengthening the already existing links between the E.U. and the predominantly European BDS campaign.

Stop Apologizing for Jewish Values

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?

Lessons of the Gaza Conflagration

The latest flare-up in Gaza – a direct corollary of the Oslo Accords and the 2005 unilateral withdrawal from the Strip – is a sad testament to the limits of Israeli power and a forewarning against repeating the same mistakes in the West Bank.

When Justice Isn’t

With individuality stifled, the children are indoctrinated to think alike, falter alike, and expect equal return for widespread mediocrity. · In short, the goal of the left is to crush the human spirit.

92nd Street Y Engages in McCarthyite Censorship – and Lies About it

I will not allow my life’s work— on behalf of Israel, the Jewish community, Soviet Jewry, human rights, civil liberties, teaching students, writing books and defending the accused —  to be “cancelled” by a totally false accusation by a woman I never met and by the cowardly McCarthyism of the 92nd Street Y.

Another Round Of Insanity?

Here we go again. Missiles are raining down upon millions of Jews from Gaza, and half of Israel's population must take pains not to stray...

The Furor Over Rav Firer

All Rav Firer asked is that the performers at a concert devoted to honoring him and his organization – at which he would be sitting front and center – not include female singers. But as soon as this request became known, an explosion of vitriol ensued
