Opinion
More aid for anti-Semite Abbas?
Now that Abbas’s anti-Semitic tirade of several months ago has temporarily faded from the headlines, the Jewish ex-State Department crowd has returned to one of their favorite pastimes: demanding U.S. money for this lunatic.

Opinion
Terror organizations not welcome in Washington
The shutdown of the PLO office was ordered just days before the 25th anniversary of the Oslo accords. The entire premise of those accords was that Yasser Arafat and the PLO had sincerely forsaken terrorism and were committed to living in peace with Israel.

Opinion
Mr. President: The Palestinians already got ‘their turn’
The Palestinian Authority still won’t fulfill its obligations in the Oslo Accords, such as disarming, outlawing and extraditing terrorists, or ending incitement. It won’t even negotiate with Israel.

Trump gives the Palestinian Authority $61 million as it pays killers of Americans
Despite all the tough rhetoric from the Trump administration and some Jewish leaders, America is still providing funds to the regime that is paying murderers of Americans.

Yes, Israeli police should ask questions
The government of the Jewish state is not trying to suppress “any kind of inquiry,” but rather is grappling with the daily reality of Palestinian Arabs trying to stone, burn and shoot Jews to death.

Opinion
It’s not ‘anti-Arab’ to criticize an Arab supporter of terrorism
On June 18, Knesset member Ayman Odeh took part in a conference in eastern Jerusalem sponsored by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, terrorist groups that have murdered and maimed many hundreds of Israelis—and Americans—since the 1960s.

Opinion
The Trump team is wrong about Hamas
The way to deal with corrupt, hateful hostage-holders is not to give them billions and leave them in power in exchange for promises they will soon break. The way to deal with them is to get rid of them.

Opinion
The terrorists whose names must not be mentioned
Reminding the American public who killed Sen. Robert Kennedy, and why, raises questions about the legitimacy of the Palestinian cause.

Palestinians assault women journalists … and the world yawns
Everybody who says that a Palestinian state should be set up next to Israel needs to answer these questions: Do you really want to establish another dictatorship where women will be savagely mistreated? And how likely is it that such a barbaric regime will live in peace with its neighbors?

Opinion
Jared Kushner has it all wrong on the Palestinians
There’s a certain contempt that’s implicit in presuming to enlighten other people as to what they should care about and what is in their best interests.
