Myths about Israeli sovereignty
Critics say attaining sovereignty will undermine the peace process and ruin Israel’s reputation abroad, but these claims do not hold up to scrutiny.

Annexation is not apartheid
The settlement “enclaves” Israel’s sovereignty plan entails are the inexorable result of the laudable principle that no Palestinian or Israeli should be forced out of their home.

Israel’s role in the struggle against anti-Semitism
As raw anti-Semitism around the world has risen and morphed into virulent anti-Israel sentiment—making the two phenomena almost indistinguishable—the State of Israel has moved from indifference to active involvement in the struggle against such hate.

Distortions in the fight against anti-Semitism
Partisanship, “progressive” politics, legal pretexts, anti-Israel sentiment and community divisions hamper the effort to combat surging Jew-hatred. The "fight" is also a distraction from even more urgent battles: keeping Jews Jewish and Israel safe.

Transcendence in Hebron
From the leftist Israeli media, you would never know that tens of thousands of Jews celebrated Zionism in Hebron last weekend.

Pushing back against anti-Semitism in the West
This has been a depressing year with anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity on the rise. Thankfully, Stephen Harper and others are there to defend Israel and the Jewish people.

J Street’s foul formula
The supposedly pro-Israel organization is now less protective of Israeli security than Obama was; it wants to condition U.S. military aid on Israeli withdrawals.

Blame those settlements!
Settlements neither explain Palestinian unwillingness to make peace with Israel nor cause traffic jams in Tel Aviv. Stop using them as a thinly veiled smokescreen for anti-Israel sentiment.

Benny Gantz, more of the same?
Gantz went further in a recent interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, where he praised the unilateral Gaza withdrawal and the destruction of Gush Katif towns, saying that it was "carried out with a lot of political consideration," "done legally," and "handled well."

Gantz’s first big mistake
I have some advice for Benny Gantz: Tell us who you really are and what you truly believe—not what your campaign team (so wrongly!) thinks that Israelis want to hear.

Is J Street still pro-Israel?
When it was founded 11 years ago, J Street claimed to be a pro-Israel and pro-peace organization. That was taken to mean partnering with the mainstream Israeli political left to build support in Washington for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. Or so we were led to believe.

Don’t kill the haredi revolution!
The threat comes from a group of extremist professors who have petitioned the High Court of Justice with a demand to terminate all government funding for gender-segregated college programs geared to the very observant.

Israel has role in fighting anti-Semitism
For the first 25 years of Israel's existence, the unspoken attitude in Jerusalem was that "if Jews abroad have a problem with anti-Semites, they can always immigrate to Israel."
