Opinion
Orwell’s favorite lobby: J Street
Palestinians are blameless paragons of virtue and democratic values who pose no threat to Israel. If those stiff-necked Jews would just end the “occupation” …

Opinion
Universities deteriorate from the top on down
There is a serious problem with trumpeting the freedom of academics to indoctrinate students with personal political beliefs in “Palestinian liberation” while speciously claiming that Palestinians are being silenced. And then, for blaming the Jews.

Opinion
Sheikh Jarrah explains why Palestinians will never have a state
If you look at their views, they are as recalcitrant as they were nearly a century ago. To this day, they do not accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state in what they consider Palestine.

Opinion
Arab donors hide $8.5 billion to universities under DoE

Opinion

Opinion
Facts are still the best weapon against myths
“Propaganda is a major weapon to weaken the support for Israel in the political and diplomatic arena. The truth offers no barrier to Arab propagandists. They rewrite history,” wrote AIPAC’s founder I.L. Kenen.

Opinion
The left’s flight from Israel’s reality
What would happen if Israel ended the “occupation” tomorrow? Does anyone believe the progressives will be satisfied? Israel got no credit for withdrawing from Gaza and is now attacked for defending itself from terrorists there.

Opinion
When critics of Israel lose, it’s ‘the Jews’ fault’
Like other detractors of Israel, James Zogby will never understand why Americans support candidates who recognize that there is one democracy in the Middle East, and that it is the only county that shares our values and interests.

Opinion

Opinion
