There was the gruesome death of 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Mireille Knoll, followed by a 30,000-strong march against anti-Semitism in Paris and the discovery of a serial killer . . . all this on the heels of a horrific Jewish murder last spring.
The Israeli government controls up to 70 percent of the Palestinian Authority. Yet it chooses to continue allowing trade, and even making payments to the Palestinian Authority, despite the direct financial incentives the P.A. gives to terrorists who murder Jews. Simultaneously, Israel’s Global Conference on Anti-Semitism almost entirely ignored the issue.
Some 2.1 million “refugees” live in 27 designated camps. They attend special UNRWA schools and health clinics, instead of the regular Palestinian ones. And senior P.A. officials have said explicitly that they are not and never will be entitled to citizenship in the Palestinian state.
Why those claiming to know everything about Iran have a shakier understanding of the subject than Donald Trump or John Bolton.
There are few signs that Vladimir Putin is pursuing policies abroad that would lead him to turn on the Jews of Russia, as happened more than once under his Soviet predecessors.
Choosing John Bolton as his national security advisor gives the president the foreign-policy team members he needs. But will he listen to them?
In another form of Israel-bashing, the foreign minister of Sweden attempts to justify huge amounts of aid to the Palestinian Authority by saying the money is needed to feed “starving Palestinian children.” In reality, some of the money gets channeled for terror operations, while the kids have enough on their plates.
It is quite wrong to believe that attachment to the nation—and the desire to uphold and defend its values—is somehow inimical to a broad and generous view of the world.
Will the attention given Israel’s 2007 bombing of a Syrian nuclear reactor help focus the world on Iran? Not if the Europeans can help it.
Opposing the Muslim Brotherhood or being attacked by CAIR does not make someone a bigot.
The Palestinian leader continues to spew hate and show that he has no interest in two states or peace. So why do American Jews continue to ignore what he says?
Nine miles wide. It would take an Arab-tank column a matter of minutes to cut Israel in two.
