Opinion
Hamas rockets bury the two-state solution
This latest round of fighting is just another indication of how delusional Palestinians remain after accomplishing nothing through violence.

Policy shifting against Israel? Check history
In 1982 during the Lebanon War, the media was sounding similar alarm bells. Journalist Nicholas von Hoffman wrote, “Where before it was difficult to print or say anything that was critical of Israeli policies and practices, the barriers are now coming down.”

Why can’t the news media write ‘terrorist’?
Americans can’t imagine the panic of people who may have no more than 15 seconds to find shelter for themselves, their children, their elderly parents and the disabled. How can this be described as anything but “terror”?

Opinion
Berkeley video on anti-Semitism is problematic on many different levels
One of the most serious omissions is the failure to describe the “new anti-Semitism.” This is at the heart of problems on college campuses, where BDS proponents claim only to oppose Zionists and not Jews, while calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

A definition of anti-Semitism that defends anti-Semites
The Jerusalem Declaration is designed to defend proponents of BDS, including several of its signatories. In fact, it is manna from heaven for the anti-Semitic movement.

Opinion
Faculty foxes guarding the campus henhouse
Professors who want to express what they believe to be true have the First Amendment right to speak on the street corner but should not be allowed to pontificate in the classroom.
