Op-Eds

The notion that Jewish critics of Qatar are the ones who have turned it into an enemy is outrageous.

Palestinian Arabs need to face the consequences of losing a war. Well, what about facing the consequences of losing an election, or of not even having one. Here too, an artificial situation is being propped up by the EU and others in the West.

As Abbas begins the 14th year of his 4-year term he has hardly been the model of accountability, abusing his position to secure fortunes for his family. He tolerates no dissent, marginalizing and arresting critics. If a democratic and accountable state is necessary for peace with Israel, Abbas has failed to deliver either.

This dispute is about who sets the parameters for our understanding of what the Holocaust was and what it represented – and it is a problem that extends far beyond Poland's borders.

Report claims the City of David, and a planned cable car to bring tourists to the Western Wall are “a political tool to modify the historical narrative and to support, legitimize, and expand settlements."

Ever wonder why polls consistently show that a large portion of the Israeli public supports creating a Palestinian state?

Rav Belsky was a once-in-a generation individual; a pioneer and an advocate for the entire Jewish people. One’s background, country of origin, or religious affiliation made no difference. He was there for all of us. We mourn him on this, his second yahrzeit

Trump must put the Palestinians on notice - there will be no more weakness, no more concessions.

"Since the UN took them over, the Palestinians started burying their dead at night, without declaring them.... As a result, for nearly 20 years, the official death rate in the camps was close to zero. In addition, there was a lot of movement between the camps. But these displacements were rarely recorded, so that a Palestinian could appear in several camps at the same time..."

For those who still dismiss or downplay reports of abuse and say the abuser made a mistake and should be given another chance because he will do teshuvah – repent – the Nassar case proves otherwise.

The task of imparting the memory of the Holocaust to the next generation is more important than ever. There is really no time to lose, as it is becoming apparent that people in nearly every nation around the world have already forgotten the Holocaust’s crucial lessons about prejudice, intolerance, and hatred.

Israel, like any sovereign country in the world, has the right to determine who may enter its borders and is authorized to remove unwanted violators of its borders from its territory

Donald Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration should be examined from a point of view that goes beyond questions of cost and gain. Prevailing interpretations are trapped in a Western perception of the nature and logic of the strategic process.

Google's participation in the Imams Online summit stands in sharp contrast to its ongoing censorship of pro-Israel voices,

The Palestinians' mock trial and "execution" of Trump and Pence gives the Palestinians a green light to target Americans physically. Members of Abbas's ruling Fatah faction participated in the mock trial and "execution" of the US president and the Vice President.

We've spent the past few days deleting a lot of horribly anti-Semitic comments written by Polish commenters.

The Pew Research Center’s latest poll about American attitudes toward Israel set off alarms, and not without reason. The survey showed the partisan gap with respect to Israel to be widening.

Vice President Pence embraced Israel and in return, will always be welcomed here.

We have today two national leaders who have human weaknesses and faults. But despite this, both Trump and Netanyahu have, to date, moved in the right direction and any suggestion of unseating them now in the light of their accomplishments would be utterly foolish.

While the case for President Trump colluding with Russia has come to be seen by most Americans as a witch hunt with very little legs, another issue of collusion seems to be creeping up-Kerry colluding with the Palestinians.

Uganda could never truly become a Jewish state. It was not the national Jewish homeland. Uganda was not the indigenous home of the Jews. There were no historical, religious, and culture ties binding the Jews to any place other than the one the Western World referred to as Palestine.

It is only appropriate that each and every one of us express our profound thanks to Donald Trump and Mike Pence. They have set our bilateral relations back on an exceptional course, drawing Israel and America closer than they have ever been.

Two momentous speeches in the Knesset plenum – by Canadian prime minister Harper four years ago and US vice president Pence this week – may have transformed the course of history. They offer moral and spiritual leadership for the world.

After a seemingly endless parade of financial, political, and sexual scandals, we finally arrived at the most ignominious one of all:  this week’s government shutdown.

It sounds incongruous to say that Rav Shteinman who reached the advanced age of 104 was taken too soon but in fact it’s true; he was taken far too soon. That the rav was a great Torah scholar is a given. His true greatness, however, was in the humility, kindness, and understanding that animated his wisdom, guidance, and teaching.

Rav Shevach’s senseless murder will not change anything for Palestinian Arabs, who praised it, other than lead to more death; the terrorist who murdered him has already been found and, in the IDF’s lexicon, “neutralized.” The residents of the Balata refugee camp will continue to be “refugees” under the thumb of the PA with the help of the United Nations.

So much is spoken and written these days about Emunah but I beg to differ. What is needed is Bitachon – strength and resolve in the future and the courage to take on those challenges

Votes against Israel at the United Nations over the decades seem to indicate it is a pariah nation, but the country’s expanding bilateral ties tell a different story.

Let's say the OU were to expel a synagogue, or 4, what practical difference would it make?

Trump will be judged on 3 things: peace, prosperity and protection. If he delivers on these, despite the shouting from the mainstream media, and he should get his second term
