Freedom takes the ability to look squarely into the face of evil and to acknowledge that we have no choice but to confront that evil.
Israel is careful to avoid a direct conflict with the Shi’ite force in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah is well aware of Israel’s massive artillery power. They therefore now play a “cat and mouse game.”
Far too many “human-rights” organizations are guilty of promulgating the oldest hatred known to humankind: anti-Semitism, a virus that has endured a great deal longer than COVID-19.
Those who are predisposed to paranoia seek a scapegoat. And the time-proven victims have been the Jews.
What has changed the mind of the president of Columbia University regarding the pervasive atmosphere of anti-Semitism that so many Jewish and pro-Israel students have been complaining about for years?
The United States provides aircraft, artillery, small arms and ammunition to the Lebanese Armed Forces. This paradigm of “arms for influence” is a total failure, and it’s long past time to dispose of it.
After continually walking away from the negotiating table and resorting to violence, they have come to the point where their bad behavior will not be rewarded. They will have to learn that Israel is here to stay.
If the Iranian regime feels that the world is not paying attention, then they will get away with many more years of the repression and terror they inflict not only on their people, but upon the rest of the world.
It is beneficial for free men and women everywhere that this evil genius has been eliminated—one who cannot be replaced so easily.

For far too long, a great deal of what amounts to anti-Jewish invective at our universities has been given a pass, using our First Amendment freedoms as a smokescreen to hide behind.
Like many other Jewish organizations, J Street is seduced by lofty slogans like “pro-Israel/pro-peace.” These words are intended to give the impression that all that Israel has to do is immediately withdraw from the territories, and then peace would ultimately break out.
