Healing the enemy is bad policy
Senior Fatah leader Jibril Rajoub was recently admitted into Israel for medical treatment at a Tel Aviv hospital. Humanitarian policies are one thing, but treating someone linked to terror groups is immoral.

The strangest war
The goal should be total victory: the complete and utter defeat of the enemy. Anything less, as the past 15 years have amply proven, will only lead to escalation.

The reasons why Israel re-elected Netanyahu
Foreign observers of the Israeli elections have failed to realize that almost all Israelis, more than 25 years after the disaster of Oslo, know that the so-called “two-state solution” would be Israel’s “final solution.”

The time to improve Israel’s deterrence is now
The government owes it to their population, especially the beleaguered residents of the south, to finally stop entering into truces and finish the job they keep starting and stopping, which is to end the terrorist war from Gaza against Israeli civilians.

Israel needs victory on all fronts
The strategy of “seeking peaceful compromise” has only served the purpose of Israel’s enemies, which is to enable the continuation of their relentless jihad, completely undeterred, on Israel’s very existence, through whatever means necessary.

The ongoing effort to keep up the Palestinian ‘narrative’
Nothing excites the political and emotional sensibilities of the Western political, media and cultural classes more than the mythical, political Neverland of “Palestine,” a place that has never existed on any map.

The ticking time bomb of Islamic Jew-hatred in America
When imams in mosques in North Carolina, New Jersey, Texas and California called for the killing of Jews, American organizations were quiet. No one protested or called on U.S. President Donald Trump to confront Muslim supremacy.

Jews defending themselves, that’s what bothers the UN and Europe
The United Nations and the European Union, which completely ignored terrorist arson, missiles and general destruction aimed at Israel for the past eight months, have now suddenly woken up. The prospect of Jews defending themselves is more than they can bear.

It’s Islam, stupid!
Properly understanding the conflict’s origins is critical for the assessment of what can be done to resolve it. The PA’s Supreme Shariah Judge is very clear about the Islamic view, but are we listening?

New Israel Fund’s undemocratic meddling in Israel’s democratic process
No one in Israel elected the NIF and its radical grantees to patronize and lecture Israeli citizens and their democratically elected government on the merits of their society.

The pyromaniacs of Gaza
Just as Arabs of the PLO invented modern-day terrorism—airplane hijackings, airport massacres, school and school bus massacres, athlete massacres, suicide bombings and car-ramming attacks (also known as vehicular jihad)—the Arabs of Hamas in Gaza have innovated environmental terrorism.

Saying Kaddish for jihadists
Leftist Jews are always first in line to prove they are more adept at hating Israel than even the most prolific Jew-haters. Their Judaism springs into action whenever an opportunity arises to smear Israel.

Europe’s autocratic obsession with Israel
For all of Europe’s post-colonial guilt, its persistent declarations of what it does and doesn’t find acceptable in the policies of Israel is the language of an unrepentant colonialist.

The chutzpah of preaching ethics to Israel
The ADL criticizes Israel for expelling illegal infiltrators in a meaningless act of virtue signalling, while Israel is one of the leading providers of aid to African countries.
