Palestinian Flag on Brick Wall
Opinion
Recognition without reality
By rushing to recognize a Palestinian state, Western leaders embolden Hamas and delay the only real path to peace: disarmament, reform and negotiation.

U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
Opinion
When Senate Democrats side with Hamas over Israel
The Merkley resolution on Palestinian statehood ignores terror, weak governance and decades of failed promises—at Israel’s expense.

United Nations Headquarters, New York City
Opinion
Another UN resolution, another exercise in futility
From 1947 to today, every chance for Palestinian statehood has been rejected. No declaration in New York will change that reality.

Munich Olympics 1972 Black September Terrorist
Opinion
From Munich to Tehran to Doha: Israel’s unbroken doctrine of justice

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation GHF
Opinion

Ayyat al-Akhras
Opinion

Their society cannot move forward if its leaders encourage that the highest honor isn’t learning, creating or building, but killing or being killed in the service of a political struggle.

E1 Area, Construction
Opinion
Facts on the ground: Confronting the hypocrisy of the European Union
The purpose in sponsoring Palestinian construction in illegal areas is political, not humanitarian—designed to change the map around Israel’s capital.

Netanyahu Speech to Congress
Opinion
The Democratic deux-face on Israel
Every equivocation, every moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, and every gratuitous swipe at the Jewish state’s leadership chips away at trust.

Kibbutz Be'eri
Opinion
When criticism becomes collapse: J Street’s genocide reckoning
Once “pro-Israel, pro-peace,” its president now says the Jewish state may be committing genocide, raising urgent questions about where dissent ends and damage begins.

Israeli Flag in Jerusalem
Opinion
American Jews, this is your war, too
Hamas doesn’t care whether you support Netanyahu or not. When Jews are murdered for being Jews, unity must come before politics.

Mark Carney, Ursula von der Leyen
Opinion
Canada’s dangerous embrace of appeasement
By recognizing a Palestinian state after the Oct. 7 massacre, Prime Minister Mark Carney rewards terror, abandons Israel and sabotages the path to peace.

Keir Starmer
Opinion
Fix your own country, Prime Minister Starmer
Before lecturing Israel on Hamas and Palestinian statehood, he should confront the Islamist extremism, antisemitism and free-speech crackdowns tearing apart the United Kingdom.
