Riding the bus while Jewish
There’s something about an up-close act of violence that illustrates an attacker’s viciousness ... in this case, with a screwdriver.

Opinion
Biden to Palestinians: ‘Thank you, sir, may I have another?’
It seems that no matter what the Palestinian Authority says or does—no matter how viciously its representatives denounce America—the money to it keeps flowing.

Opinion

Opinion
Jerusalem Arab hospital is victim of bigotry
The U.S. president should not be cleaning up the P.A.’s mess. Instead, he should say to its leadership: “Stop paying terrorists, and start paying your hospital bills.”

Opinion

Palestinian Arab terrorism—from suicide bombings to potentially lethal rock-throwing—has become so commonplace over the years that many officials long ago grew weary of trying to get them to stop.

Opinion
Hillary Clinton tries to rewrite history
It is strategically disastrous to coddle Palestinian Arab dictators, abandon victims of terrorism and heap one-sided pressure on Israel.
