Op-Eds

Putin feels unbound--And he should.

Only when the Arabs truly understand that the Jews are in Israel to stay can there be a chance for a dialogue. Until then, Israelis are negotiating with themselves and seen by some as "walking like sheep to slaughter."

While most of us may not be guilty of heinous, public crimes, aren’t we all guilty of faux pas, bad judgments, slights, even sins? Are all our other efforts and contributions therefore annulled and void?

"When a woman is raped, the humanity of a human being is severely violated.”

We are currently experiencing a technological revolution, and we have not yet begun to understand the ramifications. As much as we have all benefited from these new tools, we also have a grave responsibility to use them for good.

When the Red Cross speaks about the Israel-Hamas conflict without mentioning Hamas' attacks, and its president meets with Hamas' leader but does not advocate for Israeli hostages, the message is clear.

For a culture which discourages ostentation and flashiness, the attire of the kohen gadol seems aberrant. His glittering clothing clashes with our overall inclination to dress quietly and discreetly.

Those of us who wake up to see our children every day cannot fathom the reality people like Rachel and Jon have been subjected to.

One of the many distressing aspects of the campaign to criminalize Israeli civilians is that it’s apparently the first target. The next one? The IDF.

Egyptians identify with the Pharaohs and Syrians and Lebanese with the Phoenicians, so the Palestinian Arabs decided to claim to be part of the Jebusites, an extinct tribe who lived in Jerusalem before being conquered by the Jews.

It would be a mistake to ignore the simmering tensions in the area south of Jerusalem.

Inside Gaza, allegiance to Hamas turns to scorn.

(drum-roll, please)— Hamas!

Will this be the spark that Gen Z needs to be more open-minded? Did we connect with the right feelings to inspire action?

Nearly a century after Winston Churchill’s surrender of Palestinian land to the King of Transjordan, the boundaries of the Jewish state remain a continuing source of contention.

The leaders of Hamas in Gaza, including Sinwar, are currently evading capture, possibly seeking refuge in the Rafah area. It is imperative for the IDF to promptly take control of Rafah to locate him.

In both Britain and America, politics is becoming increasingly distorted.

One cannot understand why the foreign media is turning a blind eye to the critical voices coming out from the Gaza Strip and Palestinians and Arabs living outside the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave.

Is history written by the victors?

Pretending and hoping, however, that sooner or later the Gazans would come to their senses, look to their children’s futures, put down their slingshots, cease and desist with the tunnel digging, and take advantage of their astoundingly fortuitous location astride the Mediterranean Sea, was a colossal failure.

For reasons that are far beyond our comprehension, G-d wants to be in this world with humanity and wants us to be His partners.

Our common struggle for survival dwarfed every petty difference which, in the past, divided us.

Unless we retain control of Gaza, we may have won the battle but did we win the war?

One would think that academic leaders would take proactive measures to combat antisemitic behavior and protect Jewish students, given these alarming numbers, but many have done the opposite.

I walk the freshly showered streets of Beit Shemesh and I think of spring. I think of spring in Jerusalem where I lived for 62 years. I think of you, Adar, when joy will increase; when this war, Iron Swords, will be over; when I hope something new will be ready to debut.

“Iran is acting against Azerbaijan on multiple fronts, with the IRGC’s Quds Force transferring weapons and military equipment to Armenia.”

Among the many challenges facing Israeli leaders, there is no choice but to go to battle over Biden's Executive Order targeting individual Israelis with sanctions.

All that glitters is not gold, and what might appear to be a good way forward on paper is far from providing even an adequate solution to the deeply entrenched, fundamental problems.

Dealing with the Middle East today isn't as easy as it was even a decade ago

UNRWA was tasked to look after the needs of Arabs displaced by the conflict... instead, it became twisted into a mechanism for continuing the Arab war on Israel.
