Vandalizing synagogues with swastikas is good, leftists argue.

The Ultra-Orthodox “Vacation Draft” Plan

Everybody knows that the rapidly growing and politically muscular Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel can no longer altogether avoid military and/or national service. But haredi leaders will not relinquish their rigid communal structure of full-time and lifetime-long Torah study. And nobody can draft haredi Israeli Jews against their will – no matter what the Supreme Court rules or the Knesset legislates.

“The Israelis seemed oblivious to the fact that they are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation.”

Israel As ‘A Pariah’ Among The Nations

Had Mr. Schumer told the truth, he would have said this: Israel’s being a pariah among the world’s nations tells us much more about the world’s nations than about Israel. Just as it did a mere two generations ago.

A Despicable Speech by a Despicable President

"This was not a State of the Union address, it was a fascistic campaign rally."

Biden’s Problem is with Israel-Hating Dems, NOT Netanyahu
