We should mourn the deaths of Palestinians, not use them to cynically advance a partisan political agenda.
There’s no overestimating the importance of Trump’s decision. The fact that he’s the one who did it doesn’t diminish its impact.
Withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal raised tensions, but it’s Iran that’s more isolated and weaker now, not Israel.
U.S. President Donald Trump has shown himself to be an advocate of regime reform, rather than regime change.
It doesn’t matter that many of Israel’s retired military leaders are out of touch with the rest of the country on both Iran and the Palestinians. Here’s why.
Blaming Israel or conservative Jews for Trump’s Iran-deal decision is a classic misdirection play, as well as incorrect on the merits.
Treating attempts to burn down Israel as unremarkable—as not even worthy of news coverage—is akin to saying that we should expect Palestinians to behave that way. It’s saying that they are inherently incapable of being rational, reasonable and peaceful.
In just a few days, Washington will move its embassy to the Jewish state’s capital. At the same time, Palestinian leadership is showing signs of collapse, and Iran is struggling from internal unrest and a failing economy, topped off by America’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal.
Recognizing the capital of the Jewish state—and considering the possible move of international embassies there—is now openly being debated in regions of the globe where Israel has faced considerable hostility in recent years.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s Iran-deal decision was a first, necessary step to reverse his predecessor’s dangerous appeasement policy that empowered a rogue nation.
It’s time to speak the truth about those Jews who lobby for an anti-Semitic proposal.
