The US ‘ally’ that protects killers of Americans
We are constantly told that Jordan is crucial to regional security. That may be, but what kind of “ally” shelters a murderer of Americans—and then gives the murderer her own television show?

The amazing eight-day ‘trigger’
Nothing new here. It’s the same old story of Palestinian violence against Israelis, and the news mediate salivating over headlines.

Opinion
Releasing terrorists is bad, no matter which president proposes it
It sends exactly the wrong message to the Palestinian Arab public. It says that if you become a terrorist, there’s a good chance you’ll never really pay a price for your actions.

Opinion
Palestinian terrorists keep defying their profile
A 50-year-old woman shatters the profile of the “typical” Palestinian Arab terrorist. Indeed, those who aim to harm Israelis represent all ages and genders, all economic brackets and social circumstances.

What happens when police infiltrate mosques …
If CAIR, Linda Sarsour and the rest were genuinely opposed to terrorism, they should have been thanking the NYPD and assisting it; instead, they filed a lawsuit.

Opinion
‘Experts’ perpetuate Mideast myths
For more than a century, people have been trying to pay the Palestinian Arabs to make peace with the Jews and pretend that some terrorist gangs were more “moderate” than other ones.

J Street’s ‘war crimes’
The subject may come back to bite the organization with finger-pointing by the International Criminal Court regarding the presence of Jews in Jerusalem.

Give the Black Hebrew Israelites a state?
Nobody in his right mind would suggest doing so because we all know that lunatics who espouse anti-Semitic conspiracy theories sometimes put their anti-Semitism into practice.

Guess who’s leading your child’s tour of Israel?
An American University trip with the theme of “social justice” will offer a “dual-narrative immersive experience” that will feature “both the Israeli and Palestinian narratives.”

Opinion
What those 107 Democrats got wrong
The letter claims that the new U.S. policy could “lead to a more entrenched conflict.” More entrenched than a 100-year-long Palestinian Arab war against Jews and the existence of a Jewish state?

Opinion
The PFLP: Abbas’s dirty little secret
The entire premise of the Oslo accords and various “peace processes” that followed was that the Palestinian Arab leadership, headed by Yasser Arafat and his deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, had sincerely given up terrorism and the goal of destroying Israel.

Opinion
Sen. Schumer’s shocking reversal on J Street
Why has Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has called himself “a guardian of Israel,” agreed to be a featured speaker for perhaps the most effective pro-Palestinian lobbying group in Washington?
