In his recent speech before the United Nations the Palestinian leader acknowledged Christianity and Islam but deliberately ignored any Jewish presence in Jerusalem. This is par for course for Abbas. He's a Holocaust denier, his PhD dissertation "proved" the links between Nazism and Zionism.  And he has publicly stated that the Jews never built a Temple in...

Organized disruptions of pro-Israel activities have become commonplace on American university campuses. You may recall the sometimes threatening assault on Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. Oren was unable to finish his address to a group because of an organized assault on free speech by the Muslim Students Association.  While university administrators have been slow to take action against these Muslim...

Many friends of Israel are concluding that President Obama's speech at the United Nations is a monumental victory for the State of Israel.

The New York Times had to dig deep to find an Israeli who would side with the demands of the Palestinians and criticize Israel for trying to head off a United Nations declaration of a Palestinian State. To try and give credibility to the author the Times simply refers to him as a former Prime Minister. It does not mention...

Barry Shaw has published a thoughtful article on what the Palestinians want to accomplish by going ahead with their United Nations strategy.

Those who are ignorant of the...

For years, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that if Iran attains nuclear weapons it will change the balance of power in the world.  Even now, before Iran has nuclear weapons a dramatic shift in Iran's favor is taking place. This week, one of three major television networks in the United States, NBC, broadcast a two...

When Turkey's current Prime Minister came to power, Israel and Turkey had a close and trusting relationship. Turkey had become the destination of choice for Israelis on vacation and Israel and Turkish business ventures flourished. A prime reason for these close relations was the secular nature of Turkish society. Although Turkey is over 90% Muslim the Turkish military...

In a recent survey, conducted with Arab residents who live in a portion of Jerusalem that Mr. Abbas and President Obama want to give to the Palestinian Authority, 40 percent of those polled said they prefer living under Israeli rule.

As the thugs at the United Nations prepare to convict Israel of crimes it did not commit, it is important to understand who Israel's accusers are. Mr. Abbas, the lapsed President of the Palestinian Authority, is the chief accuser who is the driving force behind a campaign to have the United Nations declare a Palestinian State...

There is an unholy alliance between the anti-Semitic Left and the anti-Semitic Islamic world. The British newspaper the Manchester Guardian is an influential and very biased journalistic rag which regularly targets Israel, the United States, and Tory leaders in Parliament . Just one example will clarify this point. When Israel boarded the Turkish ship loaded with terrorists, the Guardian acted...

Today, is the Iranian inspired Al-Quds day. In Iran, Pakistan, Germany, .... demonstrators shouted death to the State of Israel, death to the Jews. One Iranian minister said,   "The Islamic communities should translate into practice the issue of Palestine and the rescue of the people of this country from Zionist hands,"  For a report of the vile rants...

Since the death of Yasser Arafat, the international community (which includes the State of Israel) have promulgated the fiction that his successor, Mahmud Abbas was a Western style reforming moderate. Abbas helped establish this image with his Western style dress. In their mad rush to turn him into something he was not, the West ignored Abbas' sordid history. He wrote that...

He is promoting legislation that would cut off aid to three of Israel's most elite commando units.  Reportedly, he is doing this to placate pro-Palestinian advocates in his home state of Vermont. Leahy needs to be confronted head...

A few days ago, the "leader" of the Palestinian Authority emphatically clarified his goal is to declare a Palestinian State cleansed of Jews. The Democrat Congressmen who heard this from Abbas' mouth were taken aback.  And, equally important, is Abbas' insistence that he is going to the United Nations to get them to recognize an independent Palestinian State. The same Congressmen...

I have just had the good fortune to travel extensively in Israel. News that Israel is a society in turmoil are fantasies that Israel's Left is trying to sell to the world. I can report that in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv,  and Upper Galilee signs of protests appear but the nation is not up in arms. A few...

The Blaze is reporting that the White House is attempting to sever any connection of Jerusalem to the State of Israel by erasing the word "Israel" from captions on the white House website of photos taken in Jerusalem.  Only hours after being confronted by a reporter about the Supreme Court case about Jerusalem and passports...
