Israel has the highest rate – per capita – of population growth in the developed world,” he said. “The population in Israel grows by more than 2,000,000 people each decade… Israel averages 3.1 children per family compared to just 1.7 in Western countries… Arabs average 40,000 births a year in Israel while Jews average over 100,000.”

Talk about blaming the victim--According to Abbas, the mass genocide of more than 6 million Jews was a result of the Jews "social behavior, [charging] interest, and financial matters."

After 100 years of clashes, 70 years of conflict and a quarter-century since the Oslo Accords, which were supposed to have given the Palestinians peace and land of their own, it looks like they are losing the little they have managed to obtain.

As for the New Israel Fund, I didn’t make aliyah to have my future controlled by people who didn’t and wouldn’t make aliyah, but nevertheless feel entitled to tell me how to live my life.

If even Palestinian leaders see through the Hamas ruse, why do Amnesty, the UN, the NY Times, Bernie Sanders, and so many others have such a hard time understanding what's really going on?

Israel's revelation will no doubt create fissures in the Iranian regime. These can be exploited by Israel and the US when the inevitable conflict arises.

We are fortunate that Netanyahu heads the nation at this crucial time.. But he is treading on eggshells as he faces three challenges:

Three years after Netanyahu was panned for telling Congress the truth about the Iran nuclear deal, the media cheered French Pres. Emmanuel Macron for doing the opposite.

Nevertheless, the nations and parties in the midst of possible escalation have nothing to gain from an all-out war.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s comparison of a hypothetical travel ban on Israel to one on real terrorist hotbeds explains what’s wrong with the critique of Trump.

An ideologically bankrupt A.B. Yehoshua wants to replace the Jewish state with an Israeli-Palestinian federation, the inevitable result of a loss of Jewish-Zionist identity and demoralization that began with the Oslo Accords. Having despaired of the “two-state solution,” he is now dumping the idea of Israel all-together

Netanyahu has appointed a known Christian missionary to a position of power and importance as deputy media advisor. Now the missionary will have unfettered access to millions of Israeli Jews with the imprimatur of the PM. Boggles the mind.

President Trump has never once discriminated among Americans. Whether Jewish or Muslim, Black or Asian, gay or feminist, this President sees them simply as Americans—and as Americans, he seeks to serve them, putting their welfare and safety ahead of non-Americans.

Although many reporters have uncritically repeated Hamas’s false claim that the “Great Return March” is nonviolent, photographic and video evidence has shown the opposite.

When European governments refuse to accept Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and when they urge "restraint" instead of affirming that Israel has the right to defend itself, they are indulging in appeasement. On one side, they condemn anti-Semitism but on other, they are just whipping it up.

“Israel was created exactly 70 years ago as a haven for refugees from the Holocaust.” Portman may believe this, but as a matter of historical fact, it simply isn't true.

I find it serendipitous that Dr. King’s jubilee yahrzeit fell on Pesach. The freedom that Pesach conjures has a universal stamp; it reflects every man’s yearning for liberty. Indeed, black Americans saw the Israelite longing for freedom as emblematic of their own just battle.

Whether or not Ms. Portman is a good actress is utterly irrelevant. More relevant is the fact that her analytical prowess is less than impressive, as is her appreciation of a complex society and democracy.

As a ba’al teshuvah myself, I sense this young firebrand not only can handle suggestions for improvement but would gladly welcome them.

Yesterday’s and today's rains might have dampened the efforts of Hamas, but it couldn’t bring them to a total halt. However, the effects of weather can be multiplied and utilized to our advantage.

Portman refusing the Genesis prize makes abundantly clear that she was never deserving of it in the first place.

Parents may have to step up their game and focus on explaining the importance and beauty of the Sabbath. And teachers and rabbis have to start focusing the big picture. Talking about God, hashkafa, and one's love and understanding of Torah is just as important as a brilliant analysis of Tosafos.

The Jewish people were not chosen to be Miss Congeniality. Quite the opposite. We were chosen to be the bearer of the reality of God’s sovereignty in the world, and with it, a demanding set of expectations, even for Gentiles.

Despite appearances, there is “no status quo.” The calm we see is nothing more than an illusion. We are living next to a ticking time bomb, and every minute that passes, facts are being established on the ground. These new facts lead to yet further facts that are pushing the State of Israel off its land.

If you supported the Women's March, you were duped. And if you are Jewish and supported the March, they duped you twice.

Like others on the extreme, frightened left, “loving” and “caring for” Israel means vilifying and demonizing those who risk their own lives, and leaders who work and worry day and night, protecting the Israeli people.

Jews have been among the first to “virtue signal” their compassion for refugees from the Syrian civil war.

If you finally were to decide to end your war against us in Israel, finally decide that you love your children more than you hate us, you will find our hands extended in friendship.

The Palestinian leadership is again trying to trick the international community, particularly gullible Jews who have good intentions.

The number 70 represents the end of one era and an entry to another: the first exile of the Jewish people lasted 70 years ; King David lived 70 years;. 70 is the number of the world's root nations; and the sages taught that there are 70 faces of Torah.
