History shows how quickly allies can turn into adversaries.
The word “official” is not neutral; it confers legitimacy, authority and a sense of normalcy—qualities that should never be associated with leaders of a designated terrorist organization.
American Jewish leaders must come to understand that to critics of Israel, there is no difference between “settlements” in Judea and Samaria and “settlements” on the Golan.
Many killers of U.S. citizens walk freely in territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority or nations that America considers allies, such as Egypt and Jordan.
Once such stealth technology leaves American control, the strategic danger is nearly irreversible.
The world body sides with Jerusalem’s enemies again and again, no matter the issue.
New hires often come with prejudices against Israel fully formed before they even start their job.
Repeating a falsehood again and again doesn’t make it true.
They weren’t just making a policy statement, but endorsing a future where no Jews would live in Judea and Samaria—a future of erasure.
