Opinion
Some uncomfortable Ukraine-Israel analogies
The Arabs, like the Russians, are the aggressors, trying to take over a country that belongs to somebody else. Israel, like Ukraine, is an embattled democracy with deep roots in their land.

Opinion
Emma Watson is right
Hopefully, her declaration about the Palestinians will stimulate a serious conversation about the cruel occupation that the international community has been ignoring.

Opinion
Palestinian COVID conspiracy theories do matter
The reason this insanity matters is that if a Palestinian Arab state is created next to Israel, its leadership, public opinion and popular culture will be saturated with these beliefs.

Opinion
Once again, Qatar saves Hamas
It already underwrites the power plant in the Gaza Strip and sends financial aid to 100,000 Palestinian residents there every month through a U.N. voucher system. In fact, it pretty much props up the entire mini-terror state.

Opinion
Just don’t call him a terrorist
The fact that media outlets and advocacy groups employ essentially the same language is evidence of a mindset—the mindset of partisans who want to present a certain perspective, which they hope will influence public opinion.

Opinion
Why the Palestinian Authority won’t fight terrorists
As far as they’re concerned, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine are their brothers. And the Israelis are their enemies, peace agreement or no peace agreement.

Opinion
Qatar and the Jews: The scandal that just won’t go away
Jewish leaders who visited the country defended their trips by claiming it was becoming more moderate. But the Qataris’ own statements and actions in the months to follow kept blowing up that statement.

Opinion
Kamala’s non-denial ‘denial’ on Israel and genocide
The vice president should have rebuked the student’s libel on the spot.
