Hadassah Hospital Showed Us how to Deal with Tibi

The writing has been on the wall for a long time, yet every time complaints are filed with the police against incitement to violence on the part of Israeli Arab members of the Knesset, the police choose to ignore them. In 2008, Israel National News website published an article about Ahmed Tibi entitled, Tibi – […]

Is Our Proud Jewish State Descending Into Chaos?

We are quickly sliding down a slippery slope and we are losing our grip on this country. In the past month we have seen two major events that, if they go unheeded, will be followed by more events that will lead us to absolute chaos in what should be our proud Jewish state. The kind […]

International Academic Journal Turns Israel into Palestine

If you are a computer or electrical engineer, you may have come across the International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It ranks about mid-range among journals in that field, meaning there are likely as many journals ranked below as above this one. That makes it a not totally unattractive journal to which to submit […]

Ammunition Against the Nation State Law: What Adalah Missed

Adalah is challenging the Nation State Law in Israel’s Supreme Court, claiming that the law is racist. The legal minds behind the petition claim that: There is no [other] constitution in the world today containing a clause that determines that the state belongs to one ethnic group or that a given state is exclusive to […]

Double Standards for Knesset MKs: Jews Out, Arabs In

I love how Arab leaders, such as our very own Ahmed Tibi, promote martyrdom for other people’s children. But first, let us look at who the courts forbade from running in the upcoming elections as they let these hate mongers continue to run for office. Two Jewish candidates for the Knesset have been banned from […]

So you think this is collective punishment?

Israel is constantly being blamed by so-called pro-Palestinians of engaging in collective punishments against the Arab residents of the so-called “Occupied Palestinian Territories”. Here are just two examples of that canard: Collective punishment – cowardly Israeli Occupation Force’s pirates attacking, stealing, killing, vandalizing Palestinian fishers off the coast of #Gaza #Palestine @UAWC1986 pic.twitter.com/uycVrB6CSQ — Freedom […]

How Does Israel Violate Women’s Rights in the PA?

The latest UN Resolution declares that the so-called Israeli Occupation of Palestine is an obstacle to Palestinian women’s rights. I actually read the resolution; I wonder how many people did. Let me tell you what I found in the resolution and how it corresponds (or does not) to reality on the ground. First, the document […]

EVERYONE is Making Trauma Worse for Philippine Kids in Israel

A few days ago, Kian’s classmates (one of the Philippine children scheduled for deportation this summer) demonstrated in front of the airport detention center in which he was being held. They shouted out against the deportation with cries of: “I am an Israeli child. Do not deport me.” From the interviews with his classmates, it […]

What Happened The Night God Promised To Make Abraham a Great Nation?

And why I am not upset with the dwindling American Jewish population… Is it heresy for me to say that? To say that the loss of Jews within the greater American population does not give me sleepless nights? I do not worry about the intermarriage rate. I do not worry about the Diaspora Jews (mostly […]
