Ayman Odeh
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.

England’s royal ‘settlers’ understanding of Jerusalem
It’s easy to see why the Palestinian Authority would have been offended by Prince Charles’ visit to his relatives’ graves in 2016—and why they will be unhappy if Prince William wants to do likewise.

The myth of a ‘demilitarized’ Palestinian state
How sad that a long-established and respected organization, the American Jewish Committee, is knowingly perpetuating the dangerous myth that a Palestinian state could be demilitarized.

Dear ‘Washington Post’: You got it all wrong!
Almost every major American daily newspaper, wire service and television news program incorporates a similar bias when it comes to Israel.

Accessories to terror at the Gaza border
If your staff circulates a propaganda video, and you don’t specifically disown and condemn it, then that constitutes a de facto endorsement.
