According to Jerold S. Auerbach: The recent announcement that new housing has been authorized for Hebron Jews predictably stoked fury among Israelis on the political left, for whom Hebron — where Jewish history in the Biblical Land of Israel began — should be reserved for Palestinian Arabs. Opposition on the part of the international community…
Regardless of the actual passport they carry, Arabs who now call themselves Palestinians like to cry that they are being wronged and discriminated against at every slight. This is not to deny the actual discrimination that ruins their lives, such as, for example, being forced to remain in refugee camps in Lebanon and being denied…
Why should a paramedic/ambulance driver from Magen David Adom (Israel’s equivalent of the Red Cross) have to fear for her life when she goes into an Arab town to save a life? Here is one story. I am reporting on this now, against the backdrop of the current noise in the media about having to…
What do you think would have happened if the Palestinian Arabs languishing in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and even in the Palestinian Authority (yes, the PA keeps their own people in refugee camps within their own territory under their own control) were Jewish rather than Arabs?

A course offered in a municipally owned building and paid for with municipal tax monies is teaching anti-Zionist activists another chapter in operating against the state in which they live. Because there is no English translation for this course promotion blurb on their website, I am translating it here in full below the image of…
It does not help when Israeli journalists publishing in Israeli websites do not provide reliable information upon which readers can build an understanding of the context relevant to their articles. I am referring here to the anticipated approval of construction permits for Arabs residing in legal Arab villages within Area C that is now in…
