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.

Opinion
Wait, that doesn’t make sense
If the Palestinian Authority is against terrorism, why do its leader and ruling party keep glorifying, sheltering and paying terrorists?

Opinion
The ‘apartheid’ wall that isn’t
Why in the world would Israel expose its citizens to potential dangers on its roads?

Australia redivides Jerusalem? Then demand justice for the Aborigines!
Some supporters of Israel think that they have to be grateful for whatever few crumbs the world throws our way. They think the Jews will look unreasonable unless they praise that which deserves no praise.

Mandate for Palestine
Opinion
Another ‘New York Times’ columnist needs a history lesson
The Michelle Goldbergs of this world would have us believe that today’s conflict consists of Israel having a state in historic Palestine and preventing the Arabs from having one if their own.

A whole country of Marc Lamont Hills
Palestinian children are not born hating Jews or dreaming of destroying Israel. It takes an entire village, an entire society, an entire governing regime to make them that way.
