All children, regardless of age, want to come home-even if they have never been there before

Hebrew Union College, the flagship of Reform Judaism, embraces author Michael Chabon, an anti-Israel, proponent of inter-marriage.

For most of its history, Israel knew it could depend on both Republicans and Democrats for support. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Democrats are abandoning Israel in droves.

The Palestinians' problem is not with a settlement or a checkpoint or a fence. They have a problem with the existence of Israel in any borders. Palestinians have still not come to terms with Israel's right to exist, period; this is the essence of the Israeli-Arab conflict. They see Israel as one big settlement that needs to be ripped out.

How can there ever be a lasting peace between a Zionist state and another nation where the president thinks that Zionism is a crime against humanity?

It launched a large-scale mortar-shell attack two days after losing three of its armed members to an Israeli airstrike in response to a gun attack on an IDF unit patrolling the Gazan border. Is Palestinian Islamic Jihad responding to the killing of its operatives or acting under Iranian instructions?

The willingness of the media to overlook blatant anti-Semitism mirrors growing tolerance of anti-Semitism in the public sphere. The media is complicit in making anti-Semitism acceptable.

Today, many American Jewish children are that feeling any special responsibility toward their fellow Jews is Nazi-like behavior, and only if they eschew such feelings can they be good Jews who have internalized the Holocaust’s lessons.

Radical sub-state actors are able to exercise full control of the territories they govern yet make themselves almost invisible when they choose to do so. As recent events in Gaza showed, this ability serves them not only on the military front but also in the arenas of diplomacy and public influence.

Pompeo’s core demands of Iran are not unique to the Trump administration. They are demands that have made Iran an international pariah: “This sort of behavior has been exhibited by Iran in some ways since the regime was conceived in 1979,”

It's deeply disturbing that the ADL, some Jews and others, have been mourning these terrorists’ fatalities. Such sympathetic proclamations only encourage more Hamas terror against Jews. Such proclamations also encourage the media to distort the truth of the Hamas war against the Jewish state.

Pompeo’s speech was an important step in the realization of the Trump Doctrine. The 12-point speech outlined the administration’s nuclear nonproliferation strategy against Iran,

The idea that International Law looks out for military necessity, and not only humanitarian rights, is lost on journalists and those who freely volunteer their personal opinion of international law as a club to beat the IDF whenever a military situation arises.

A troubling side effect of the Zionist enterprise is that 70 years after the State of Israel came into being, a wedge has grown between Israelis and the Diaspora, driven by guilt and presumptions of moral superiority.

What is Palestine? A facade for Jew-hatred, an Arab Palestine exists only to disenfranchise the Jews of Israel.

What makes Jewish students so vulnerable? Young Jewish students come to college ignorant of Jewish history, let alone modern Israeli history or current events. They are totally unprepared for the onslaught of their well-funded, organized deceitful opposition.

"This is not peaceful resistance... so when we talk about 'peaceful resistance,' we are deceiving the public,"

Despite the Women’s Institute of Halakhic Leadership (WIHL) program’s efforts at obfuscation, the Morat Hora’ah U’Manhigah Ruchanit program clearly flouts the rulings of the greatest rabbinic authorities of this generation from across the spectrum.

The Palestinians are hoping to extort protection money from the Americans. It is like saying, "You see what will happen to you if you stop funding me? It could always get worse for you. I suggest that you restore my accountability-free funding, and perhaps I will see to it that you do not get hurt."

ADL, Bernie Sanders, NY’s Elite Beacon School & Some British Jewish Youth Also Disgracefully Mourn Hamas Deaths. Such sympathetic proclamations only encourage more Hamas terror against Jews.

Must a Jew in Germany, or anywhere in Europe, hide their identity?

As Turkey has swung further and further towards an Islamist style republic,, Israel and Cyprus along with Greece have begun to form various economic alliances as a buffer to Turkey’s expansion

Despite 70 years since its rebirth, much of international diplomacy still treats Israel’s existence as if it was a bargaining chip that requires Israeli concessions. It is time to end this.

The cruel reality is that every time Israel accidentally kills a Gaza civilian, Israel loses and Hamas wins. Israelis grieve every civilian death its army accidentally causes and Hamas benefits. That is why Hamas encourages its women and children to become martyrs.

It is maddening to see Western leaders – with the notable exception of America's and Australia's– succumb with equanimity to Hamas’ obvious criminal 'stuntsmanship' on the Gaza border. What is Western support for “Israel’s right to exist within secure and recognized borders” worth if those borders cannot be defended?

Israel is not only battling Hamas at the border but in the mainstream media where Hamas lies generally trump Israeli truths.

13 of 15 "human rights organizations" proved that they are, in fact, dedicated to defaming the State of Israel, and have no real interest in defending human rights.

A growing partisan divide was on display this week in reaction to the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem and two days of consecutive violence in the Gaza Strip. The question is: How far will one sector on the left continue to cause fissures?

Misery in Gaza is not in Israel’s interest. The problem is that Hamas has thus far shown no interest in such a transformation from Islamist terrorist group into responsible government of Gaza.
