Op-Eds

So let me unconfuse you by setting the record straight: Zionism has EVERYTHING to do with Judaism.

The U.S. administration’s now all-but-declared positions on Jerusalem and Hamas strengthen Iran’s position in Palestinian society.

With a large following, it would be professional suicide to publicly push a pro-Israel line.

Americans need to go beyond simply recognizing today's threats and embrace the spirit of a nation that has weathered the worst our foes have ever thrown against us.

Forty-five years after the Entebbe rescue operation, friends and family gather at the gravesite of Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, former PM Benjamin Netanyahu's brother, who lost his life in the heroic mission.

Regavim says that Israel may now be seeing the "whitewashing of thousands of illegal structures on about 11,000 dunams [2,718 acres] of land." It slams the idea that this will create "new communities." It notes the coalition agreement does not stipulate what "will happen to the rest of the illegal Bedouin squatter's camps nine months from now."

My Facebook wall is replete with parents of former students, rabbis from previous communities where we’ve lived, as well as professors of Jewish studies programs equating actions of Hamas and the IDF.

On the streets where we b'nai melechim walk, our clothes are meant to honor not only ourselves but also the Melech.

A wedding invitation? I could feel my heart racing. It felt like getting a jury duty summons.

While many of those advocating for the cancellation of the march did so out of a genuine concern for the well-being of Israel, their good intentions were not synonymous with good policy.   

Israelis think of the desert area as its “Wild West,” a place where sovereignty is more honored in the breach, and where concerns center on crime and national security. For the government, the biggest challenge is bringing to heel unregulated Bedouin building on state land.

The unending campaign of anti-Semitic demonization of Israel by Rep. Ilhan Omar and her fellow progressives will not stop until Congress takes a zero-tolerance stand.

This is a very unusual alliance of very different ideologies – the very essence of democracy at its finest.

Advocates of the Israel-apartheid libel hope that their campaign will lead to Israel's eventual replacement with a Palestinian Islamic entity.

The coalition headed by Naftali Bennett includes a spectrum of lawmakers—Orthodox, Arab, female, gay and even Israel’s first deaf Knesset member

Joe Biden and Naftali Bennett have plenty to learn from one another as they try to keep their ambitious and fragile coalitions together.

It’s the indicator of a deeper societal pain. When it rears its ugly head, it almost always extends beyond Jews.

Despite the dubious nature of this government, a fifth election would have been just as bad and this new government should be given a grace period.

Those who advocate for Israel often take a defensive posture in response to endless attacks from advocates for the Palestinians. The debate focuses entirely on Israel’s perceived imperfections. Instead, pro-Israel advocates should take an offensive posture, shifting the focus of debate onto Palestinian behavior and holding Palestinian leaders accountable for their malfeasance.

“If we don’t step up to end the imperialist project that’s called Israel, we’re doomed,”  proclaimed one of three co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors

Israel must break the “Gaza-Jerusalem” equation that Hamas is trying to establish as a fact. This equation is dangerous to Israel’s security, and Israel...

Israel may soon abandon its diplomatic achievements because Yair Lapid and most of his partners in the new coalition want to erase Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's achievements.

Nevertheless, in my opinion there is ample room for the Bennett-Lapid government to set a few things in order, and to make it clear to Israeli friends and adversaries abroad that there is principled continuity in Israeli foreign and defense policy.

Surrendering to Hamas threats and canceling the flag parade in Jerusalem constitutes a grave violation of Israeli sovereignty that will lead to no less serious acts of extortion on the political and security levels.

As I got older, those questions that I explored in Israel never went away, and I started researching and compiling answers.

Incredibly, the Spies managed to convince the masses that they were incapable of conquering and settling in the Land.

The anti-Semites are giving us a wake-up call: We can no longer afford to be complacent.

The goal of many on the left these days is not clarification but obfuscation, particularly on racial issues.

The deliberate and cynical use by Hamas and Islamic Jihad of their own civilians as human shields, as well as their use of mosques, hospitals, schools, and private houses as weapons storage facilities and firing platforms, are severe war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law.
