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.

When Palestinian Tragedy is No Tragedy at All

A Palestinian on the Israeli Occupation: The biggest lie ever told.

This is what we want to hear. The charismatic Mohammad Massad, former terrorist, talks with passion about wanting to live together with the Jews. Has anyone ever spoken like this before? We have heard about Jews and Palestinian Arabs going to each other’s family life cycle events and being friends, but has anyone really spoken […]

What’s the real story against declaring our sovereignty in Judea and Samaria?

There is a debate in Israel that rises and falls like the ocean tides.
