Was it Right to Display the Lebanese flag on Tel Aviv City Hall?
There are two serious questions that arise regarding Israel’s response to the August 4th explosion tragedy in Beirut, Lebanon. The first concerns the offer of humanitarian aid to the country, one that is officially at war with Israel, and the second concerns the wisdom of displaying the Lebanese flag in lights on Tel Aviv City […]
Israel Pays Terrorist Salaries from Citizens’ Taxes
We criticize the Palestinian Authority (PA) for giving life-time salaries to terrorists, the amount determined by how many Jews they killed. And if the terrorist was killed in action, then his or her family gets the pension. We protest to foreigners to stop what has come to be called pay-for-slay. Our government even legislated against […]
Nation State Law: Arab IDF Commander-in-Chief? Arab Prime Minister?
In his article in Yisrael Hayom, law professor Dr Shaul Sharf asks an interesting question against the background of the Knesset vote last Wednesday (July 29) rejecting a bill to amend the two-year-old Law. Sharf asks: does the existence on the books of Israel’s Nation State Law make having an Arab IDF Commander-in-Chief a good […]
What does the Nation State Law Actually Say?
All hell broke loose on 19 July 2018 when the Knesset passed the bill at its third reading and we saw the birth of the Nation State Law. There were demonstrations across the country protesting what was claimed to officially cement Israel’s minority populations as having second-class status. The Arabs were out in protest. About […]
Israeli Arab pro-Zionist Voices Growing Louder and Surer
For me, it began six years ago with Mohammad Zoabi, the first Israeli Arab pro-Zionist to whom I was exposed. Do you remember that video in which Mohammad pleaded, in English, Hebrew and Arabic, to the terrorists who abducted the three Israeli teenage boys to return them home alive and well? He was referring to […]
Changing Antisemitic Minds One at a Time
How do you fight all the noise, the accusations and curses hurled at anyone who dares to support Israel? How do you make people stop and think? Those attempting to combat the rabid anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism on social media know how disheartening that can be. Many give up in despair. Leaving the haters in their […]
Israel Opens the Gates To Palestinian Arab Workers?
Seeing is believing — maybe. I was not sure I really believed what I was seeing so I wrote a message to the owners of the Facebook page that uploaded the video. The page is called “West Bank Workers in Israel”. I asked if we could speak on the phone and they agreed to answer […]
Mohammad Massad: Heartfelt Plea for Sanity from Former Terrorist
On the Israeli evening news, I hear Abbas threaten that if Israel extends her sovereignty to a millimeter of what he says is HIS land, he will dismantle the Palestinian Authority (PA) and hand the keys back to Israel. I snort in derision, thinking who is he fooling! Is that his way of preserving his […]
Ian Black: Predicting Tragedy by Making it Up
Ian Black just wrote an article in the Guardian decrying the tragedy that will befall the Palestinians should Israel actually carry out the unthinkable crime of extending her sovereignty to include parts of Judea & Samaria. What gives Ian Black the authority to make such decrees? First of all, he is not just a journalist, […]
When Palestinian Tragedy is No Tragedy at All
Those Europeans do go on and on and on about it. As do many other, such as Canadian former diplomats, British Jews, and even some Israelis. They are all horrified by the idea that Israel will extend her sovereignty over her own land in Judea & Samaria. They all warn of Arabs who will be […]
