The Palestinians are sinking ever deeper into economic, political and social desperation, but none of the nations ostensibly concerned with their welfare is stepping up.
The simple truth is that the Palestinians don’t have independence because for almost three generations they’ve rejected every single peace proposal of any kind, including the latest one.
Iran’s burgeoning belligerence in the Middle East makes it imperative that the U.S. refresh the U.N. arms embargo—as well as other pressures—even if we have to go it alone.
Every penny of the quarter-billion-dollar U.S. annual contribution to Lebanon supports Hezbollah terrorists, Iranian imperialism and military threats to Israel.
If the Palestinians are being left with ever-diminishing territory in Judea and Samaria, this is not apartheid, but the natural result of Palestinian leadership’s failure to seize the many generous opportunities history has presented to them.
While Israel doesn’t seek thanks for aid it provides to the Palestinians amid the coronavirus pandemic, it deserves better than the defamatory lies hurled at it by Palestinian speeches at the United Nations.
As devastating as the coronavirus pandemic is, it may bring the benefit—as it seems to have already done in Israel—of inspiring greater appreciation of one’s home country.
Judging by Iran’s words and actions, the world community—and certainly the United States—would be smarter to tighten sanctions on the ayatollahs, not loosen them.
As anti-Semites accuse Jews of nefarious evil acts, the Jewish nation of Israel is again showing itself to be one of the most benevolent on earth.
What’s at stake is not simply whether Trump or Biden wins, but rather, whether the United States will continue its bipartisan support of what Obama frequently called “our unbreakable bond with Israel.”
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’s U.N. appearance underscored the moribund condition of the Palestinian national movement, and showed desperation, exhaustion and hopelessness.
The Fifth World Holocaust Forum, held in Jerusalem on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, stands as a major triumph for Israel and its supporters.
