Opinion
Again and again …
“Never Again!” has been relegated to a hollow bumper sticker slogan, like “Peace Now!” The response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression is just the latest proof that we are wasting our breath.

Opinion
The longer and stronger Iran-deal lie
Iran’s leaders see that fear of a nuclear exchange is the principal restraint on military action against Russia, and the mullahs believe they will enjoy the same protection once their mission is accomplished.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Opinion
FDR looked for places to settle Jews
A 12-page U.S. State Department memorandum makes for depressing reading as it takes the president on a world tour that documents the resistance to admitting European refugees.

Opinion
Ukraine and echoes of 1938
If Russian President Vladimir Putin was interested in exterminating the Jews, no country, including the United States, would lift a finger to stop him. Should we be counting our blessings that it is only Ukrainians who will die rather than the Jews, who Israel intends to airlift out?

Opinion
The proper response to Amnesty and other NGO bullies
Like hyperventilating over BDS, devoting our scarce resources to countering this new calumny is mostly a waste of time because Israel has only grown stronger despite the demonization.

Opinion
Thanks, Ben & Jerry!
Israel’s international relations are flourishing, completely undermining the agenda of the BDS movement.

Opinion
Islamophobia envoy’s mission should focus on Muslim countries
Only 9 percent of religious hate crimes in the United States and 1 percent of all hate crimes are directed at Muslims. How many government positions are created to address a problem that affects 1 percent of the population?

AIPAC
Opinion
Politics is all about the Benjamins
If, as expected, the AIPAC PACs significantly increase the amount of money available for campaign contributions, it will be possible to support more pro-Israel politicians and put more money towards specific campaigns.

Opinion
We can’t trust the CIA
Iran has been engaged in activities that have no peaceful purpose, and there is incontrovertible public evidence that it is moving towards building a bomb, so how can director William Burns say with a straight face that Iran hasn’t decided to build a nuclear weapon?

Opinion
War-gaming ‘hasbara’
There is a fundamental problem with the “Israel beyond the conflict” approach; you can’t get beyond the conflict so long as it continues.

Opinion
Iran builds a bomb and hegemony while Biden fiddles around
The only good news is that the president has not eased sanctions.
