The Obama Administration has recently concluded arms deals, which will send the most sophisticated military equipment, to two adversaries of the United States and Israel -- Saudi Arabia and Turkey. David Keyes of www.Cyberdissidents.org asks why we are selling arms to a theocratic regime which denies basic human rights to its citizens. We recommend reading his article in the New Republic. ...

They choose their words carefully, always limiting their praise to the Obama Administration's providing armaments to Israel.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has echoed...

Tzipi Livni is leader of the second largest party in Israel's Knesset (Kadima). The other day she went to Amman, Jordan to meet Abbas. News reports say she urged him to re-engage in negotiations with Israel. Livni's actions raise serious questions about her judgment. Why would any Israeli go hat in hand to Abbas who...

Israel's left-wing Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, relishes opportunities to hob knob with America's Left wing elite.

Years ago One Jerusalem was one of the first critics to shed light on a Palestinian children's program that glorified suicide bombings.

Citizens of Israel, today we are all united in joy and in pain. Two-and-a-half years ago, I returned to the Prime Minister's Office.

After refusing to abandon his illegal and explosive plan to get United Nations approval for a Palestinian State, Abbas returned to Ramallah and played the populist politician who addressed all the wrong instincts of his people. He continued repeating the lies about Israel that he included in his speech before the United Nations.
