Opinion
ADL distorts the annexation debate
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu never called for the “annexation of the West Bank.” What he said was that he might propose extending Israeli law to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Opinion
Failing at the ballot box, Jewish left lashes out
Election day in Israel has become a day of mourning for some critics of Israel.

Opinion
We need another Reagan plan for Israel
The former U.S. president understood that the demand to create a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria is a demand for creating a second Palestinian state (over and above Jordan).

Opinion
Ben Rhodes is back for more Israel-bashing
Rhodes has harsh opinions about Israel. He seems proud that he helped trick the public into accepting the Iran nuclear deal. And he’s proud of his role in Obama’s policies towards Israel—in fact, he regrets that they weren’t harsher.

Opinion
Another anti-Semite in the Democratic Party
James Zogby has gone so far as to implicitly praise Rep. Ilhan Omar’s statements about Jews, characterizing her remarks as “the discussion Omar’s courage has helped to open.”

Opinion
Who wants Israel out of the Golan?
Make no mistake about it: The only reason to oppose American recognition of Israeli control of the Golan is if you oppose Israeli control of the Golan.

Opinion
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, it’s time to start telling the truth
You are absolutely right that there are human-rights violations in your grandmother’s village, but they are violations committed by the Palestinian Authority and its leadership, not Israel.

Opinion
J Street’s ‘Birthwrong’ project
Imagine how much squirming and cringing would ensue if, for example, the J Street students were to see a street or public square named after the terrorists who murdered Richard Lakin.

Opinion
Looking for Jews to kill
No matter the firebomb or the car-ramming attack. They’re not terrorists, just “militants.”

Opinion
Anti-Semitism is alive and well in ‘moderate’ Qatar’s schools
Textbooks “feature anti-Semitic motifs, presenting Jews as treacherous, dishonest and crafty, and at the same time as weak, wretched and cowardly.”

Opinion
The Kushner compromise?
We don’t know exactly what “Israeli compromises” the Trump plan will demand. But they obviously will involve moving closer to a Palestinian state.

Opinion
A Jewish terror victim is remembered, thanks to the killers’ friends
The Jews may have forgotten Avraham Bromberg. But the Palestinians have not forgotten his murderers.
