Opinion
‘Counting to 10’ won’t bring peace to the Middle East
Palestinian Arabs are not children throwing a temper tantrum who need to calm down. They are Arab nationalists and devout Muslims who see their war to destroy Israel as a national and religious obligation.

Opinion
J Street’s line: Virus, shmirus; let’s focus on the Palestinians
Talk about tone-deaf! Completely oblivious to the suffering of American citizens, J Street’s top priority is to give American money to two of the most vicious America-hating regimes in the world.

Indifferent to human suffering?
It’s important to recall certain episodes because they offer us an instructive lesson regarding the dangerous power of hate and dehumanization.

A new threat to Israel-Diaspora relations
An Israeli government in which the Joint List plays any role—official or unofficial—will ignite an unprecedented crisis between Israel and the Diaspora.

Congress members misled into signing racist letter on Israel
The signatories, except for a few diehard Israel-haters such as Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, are unaware of the reality on the ground in Judea and Samaria. They are unaware because J Street misled them.

Opinion
Why the arrest of this Palestinian matters
Hussam Khader will languish in a prison cell because he is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the Palestinian Authority.

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.

Opinion
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.
