Zehut believes the truest way to attract non-observant Jews to Jewish observance is by giving them the freedom to choose.

Right now, there is a gnawing fear that the gestures that Trump has taken are merely the first shoe to drop, and that there will be payback in the form of concessions that Israel will be asked to make. This would be a shame, because these steps were right and appropriate in and of themselves.

{Originally posted to the Gatestone Institute website} Palestinians appear finally fed up with the apartheid and discriminatory laws they have been subjected to in Lebanon...

Major cases of anti-Semitism are usually accompanied by attempts at whitewashing. Yet the whitewashing of antisemites and antisemitism is rarely looked at as a widespread international issue. There are many ways one can cover up antisemitism. Politicians, media, the legal system, Jewish organizations and Jews abroad (mainly from the left), Israeli Jews, and Arabs have all participated. Still, the whitewashing of today’s antisemitism pales in comparison to the whitewashing of national anti-Semitism during the Holocaust.

Trump’s landmark Golan decision asserts the law of diminishing returns: Arabs who refuse to make peace with Israel lose rights and assets as time goes forward. Mahmoud Abbas: Take notice.

The Economic Research Department of the Israel Hotels Association recently published data for February 2019 on hotel stays compared with the same period over the past two years, and the evidence is clear: Incoming tourism to Israel is decidedly on the rise, and Chinese tourists are helping make it happen.

In 2016, 2.9 million total worldwide visitors visited Israel. By the close of 2018, that number had boomed to 4.1 million—and the totals keep climbing. Within the coming decade, Israel expects to employ 98,000 people in its tourism sector.

For all nation-states, but especially the most powerful or influential, success must be measured along two separate dimensions: present and future. Although Israeli leaders may correctly calculate that their country is doing reasonably well under classic geopolitical criteria of realpolitik, that judgment is likely to collapse in the longer term. There is a great need for a new world politics of cooperation and acknowledged interdependence.

Hamas will present itself in large numbers in the West Bank, not as a terror organization but as a force that can mobilize large public gatherings. We must wait and see to what extent Hamas is capable of accomplishing this task, but the mere intention tells us a lot about its future strategy.

Critics call foul on anti-Israel advocacy masquerading as objective journalism

Thrall can be counted on to produce, on demand, the usual anti-Israel screed that has long been norm at the Times. But Thrall outdoes himself this time.

In the wake of an attack on Israel, Hamas needs to occupy itself burying its members not providing them with employment. Only dead terrorists will allow Israel to win the war.

President Trump’s recognition of Israel’s Golan Heights advances Israel’s victory and is the beginning of the end of free lunches for the defeated Arab aggressors.

No country in history has ever given back to a sworn enemy militarily essential territory that has been captured in a defensive war.

Once the authoritarian, anti-Semitic and anti-American government of Iran possess a nuclear bomb, no amount of actions will be able reverse the catastrophe.

Prof. Alan Johnson lays out in excruciating detail the story of how an ostensibly enlightened, pro-European social democratic party became a home for activists trafficking in three distinct types of anti-Semitism.

What caused one Orthodox Jew to behave in a heartless fashion while another, in the same situation, with love and genuine concern?The answer is the Rabbi placed my feelings before his own. He instinctively knew how horrible I must have felt, and was only concerned with helping another Jew. The other individual was only concerned about himself.

The green movement is not about the environment. It's about introducing far-left ideals into the mainstream disguised as environmental concerns. If you want to see a real green deal – a Green 'Old' Deal, if you will – look no further than the Torah:

So, what is this election about? The bottom line: Are we willing to accept Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for another term?

AIPAC suddenly found itself under immense pressure by the liberal left-wing elite. The irony is that AIPAC made enormous efforts not to be identified as right-wing or Republican. You can see that in its careful choice of speakers.

The wholly-political war waged by Zionophobes has effectively intimidated and prevented religious Jews who identify as Zionists from initiating such claims. But that is starting to change.

When Jewish power and influence are used in the cause of peace and justice -- as it is today -- there is nothing to be ashamed of. It should be a source of pride.

It wasn't AIPAC or Jewish influence that brought about this change in support for Israel. Instead, it was the threat, brought about by Arafat's PLO that led Nixon to appreciate the strategic importance of Israel.

Precisely now that Israel has reached an unprecedented status in the international arena, Israel must move from a policy of concessions to a clear Israeli Victory paradigm.

At this strategic watershed moment, one can discern the logic of the policy that has guided the Netanyahu government’s approach to Gaza over the past decade – that it is in Israel’s interest for Hamas to remain in control until the group is rejected by its own people.

We, the people of Israel, must demand security. We must demand deterrence. Our security will come about by winning, by determining what the end-game must be and by unapologetically seeing it through.

Would Palestinian Arab workers be willing to lose their jobs? Do the union leaders actually represent the Palestinian Arabs and their interests? Do Palestinian Arabs really support BDS?

U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights would constitute the fulfillment of a series of previous diplomatic assurances given to Israel by past administrations regarding the international status of Israel's position on that strategic plateau.

Should Israel withdraw from Judea and Samaria – we will face an unrelenting assault on our very right to exist.
