Op-Eds

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

Inspiring words from from Vice President Pence’s address to the Knesset earlier this week.

Recent years have seen a notable increase in kippa-wearers among IDF combat soldiers and commanders. This is not what drives the struggle against religionization. It is, rather, the fear of losing the military’s character as a national public space that is secular or at least neutral with regard to religion.

Trump turned the Mid-East upside down to the appall of experts and liberals just by adding the element of common sense: support allies, punish violators of trust. Something not tried in 25 years

President Trump’s reality-based foreign policy is publicly revealing the wrong-minded hollowness of the assumptions that have long guided American diplomacy

We are now at an important inflection point in world history. This is the 70th year since Israel’s founding and we have a President and Vice President in America that not only won the election last year in miraculous fashion, but seem to understand that they are meant to play a pivotal role in history.

The oldest hatred in the word is rejuvenated-and gaining strength in Europe

Some prominent Jewish proponents of the decades-long peace process between Israelis and Palestinians now admit Abbas’s controversial speech on Jan. 14 disqualifies him as a negotiating partner, while other dovish Jewish leaders are accusing the Trump administration of provoking the Palestinian leader.

Put simply, Vice President Mike Pence is a friend of Israel and all thanks should be extended to him during this visit to America’s closest ally.

Democrats stood against Marcus because he is not far enough to the left of students at one of the most left-leaning universities in a universe of left-leaning universities . He is just too damned hard on anti-Semitism.

Thanks to some solidly honest remarks by the evil terrorist despot Abbas, the entire spectrum of Israeli thought on issues vis-a-vis the Palestinians SHOULD shift dramatically rightward.

Time has come to tell the PLO that the game is up, they lost and are in no position to demand anything from anyone. Accepting defeat could be the best thing for the Arabs of the PA

Wise and important actors around the world are coming to the conclusion that Israel is an anchor of sanity and a source of ingenuity in an unruly world and are willing to develop new partnerships with the start-up nation.

Open Orthodoxy should close the door behind itself as it exits the Orthodoz Union.

There is literally nothing that Republicans could currently offer, beyond a full-scale cave to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) demands, that would earn his support.

Trump has referred to his peace plan as “a good deal,” but unlike in the business world, agreements between peoples are only valid for the moment. Agreements are always temporary, awaiting a strategic shift in which everything is reconsidered.

The jihadist aim is to isolate Israel politically so that on the day their planned offensive begins, no one will be there to support Israel and the Jews. The PA, the PLO and the Arab/Muslim states will be unhampered to do what Hitler was unable to do in historic Palestine -- make it Judenrein (free of Jews).

A beautiful and inspiring tribute to the Glick family, in memory of Yaffi Glick (Z"l) left this world on Monday, January 1 at age 51.

Israel proactively preventing individuals and organizations promoting BDS should come as a shock to no one, ESPECIALLY to the groups named.

There are few filters between Trump’s mind and mouth--it's his appeal and his weakness. I wish Trump’s tweets and comments were as un-P.C. as they are now but stated in a sophisticated way. I also wish that cheesecake were not fattening

Israel’s economy is booming. The failure of the Arabs and BDS movement campaigns to destroy it are as spectacular as the Arab failures to defeat Israel in the battlefield.

Abbas' insanity is on full display in his words. But don’t expect the Leftists, Europe and the UN who see Israel as a Western occupier to pay any attention.

India should refrain from opposing America's decision on relocating its own embassy wherever it likes. India would have done better to vote against the resolution and support Washington on moving its embassy to Jerusalem

Denying UNRWA money does not get to the heart of the problem, which lies not in its sponsored activities but in its perpetuating and expanding population of "Palestine refugees" in three unique, even bizarre ways

Several decades of “protecting” Lebanon have only strengthened Hezbollah, and it’s folly to think more of the same will produce different results. Thus, it’s long past time to acknowledge that Lebanon is a fully-owned Iranian subsidiary--and to treat it accordingly

According to verses in the Quran, God punishes the Jews for their sin of refusing to fight the indigenous people in the land, and God is angry that the Jews refused to convert to Islam. Yet the verses are consistent in their assertion that God gave the Jews the Holy Land.

The occupation, like the need for military strength and to absorb casualties, is part of the price Israel has to pay to live here. Maturity means being able to go forward with no solution in sight.

41 years ago, Then Prime Minister Golda Meir wrote this wise and absolutely current article published by the New Yorl Times 41 years ago. Some things never change
