As I read and watched President Obama's speech at AIPAC I was reminded of his previous performance when he declared that he supported an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel. Shortly after receiving a standing ovation for this policy he said he did not mean what he said. This episode comes...

President Obama paid a huge price for his surprise attack on the State of Israel in his Thursday "Arab Speech." Along with abandoning long time American positions, like calling for a return to 1967 lines (which Abba Eban called Auschwitz Lines) that cannot be Israel's border because Israel is not secure within those lines, Obama showed his...

In his State Department speech to the Arab world, President Obama threw Israel overboard as he demanded that Israel must make major concessions to achieve peace in the region. When you cut through his rhetoric, Obama believes that Israel must make major concessions that include Jerusalem and the right of return so there can be peace. Obama rejected...

Taxpayer funded City University of New York (CUNY) was on the fast track toward bestowing an honorary degree on a playwright who supports organized boycotts of Israel and who once told a reporter that the founding of the State of Israel was a "mistake."But thanks to the courageous intercession of CUNY Board Member Jeff Wiesenfeld...

The "Arab Spring" spilled over to Israel's borders. No, Israel's Arab citizens were not revolting. You see they are the best off Arabs in the Middle East. Their standard of living are higher than their brethren in Arab lands and their freedoms are more plentiful. While their fellow Arabs are oppressed and are largely without rights --...

A few weeks ago, leaders of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood agreed to be interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and today the Washington Post published an interview with another Brother. The interviews provided these instigators of terror with platforms to "educate" the American people about their supposedly peaceful intentions. While they do not totally abandon their...

A recent survey of Palestinians living in Jerusalem showed that a majority would move to another neighborhood to stay in Israel if their neighborhood came under Palestinian Authority rule.  This survey mirrors opinions expressed in past polls. Palestinians enjoy the economic benefits and the freedom of Israeli society and they don't embrace the idea of living under the...

Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter, Tel Aviv, and Ramat Gan do not exist in textbooks used by Palestinian children.  In their annual review of textbooks, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (Impact-SE) concluded, "Overall there is a total denial of the existence of Israel. The next generation has absolutely no information about cooperation and no information...

Once again the Palestinian world is the center of radical Islam. Today, Fatah and Hamas formally reconciled in a ceremony in Cairo Egypt. True to form Hamas refused to recognize the existence of the Jewish State of Israel and Mr. Abbas defended their right to do so. During the ceremony the Hamas leader kept referring to the...

In an unusual twist, the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case to determine whether Jerusalem should be recognized as Israel's Capital. As most One Jerusalem readers know, Jerusalem was restored as Israel's united Capital after Israel's victory in the 1967 War freed part of the city from Jordanian occupation. Years later, the US...

Below is a translation of the Muslim Brotherhood's reaction to the capture and execution of Osama Bin-Laden. Zionists and the United States are the problem, of course. A communique [bayan] by the Muslim Brotherhood on the assassination of Sheikh Osama Bin Laden  The whole world has witnessed, and  the Muslims especially have suffered, from a...

As the civilized world celebrates the United States Special Forces operation that reportedly killed Osama Bin Laden, Hamas (the partner of Abbas and Egypt) condemned the United States operation.  A Hamas leader issued to following statement:   "We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab...

This Wednesday, the formal reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah will take place in Cairo Egypt. The significance of this gesture by the new Egyptian government has further raised concerns in Israel. Where Egypt use to be the enemy of the Muslim Brotherhood and its off shoot Hamas today Egypt is helping to legitimize the terrorist organization and it...

The press and commentators, many friends of Israel, have been cheerleaders for what they have coined The Arab Spring. Ignoring facts on the ground they have tirelessly promoted the unsubstantiated claim that the tumult on the Arab world is the result of mass democratic impulses among Egyptians, Libyans, Yemenites, etc. They latched onto the figure...

Speculation that the Obama Administration is developing a peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians caused all Palestinian factions to rush to the microphones to declare that they would never agree to a plan that calls on the Palestinians to give up on their plan to resettle millions of refugees in Israel. Both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas sang this song. They called their settlement...

There is a report today that Israel's Defense Forces have developed a plan for protracted conflict over the course of many years. It is comforting that the IDF is not delusional about political events in the Middle East, as so many American commentators and policymakers seem convinced that an Age Aquarius is upon us. That kind of pie in the...

Israel's Prime Minister told members of his Likud Party, "My political vision is clear and I presented it many times before the citizens of Israel and to the heads of state in my meetings with them. The State of Israel must preserve its security interests and this is something I will not agree to compromise on....

The Prime Minister's office refuses to comment but it is clear that a decision has been made not to upset the international community by permitting housing for Jews in the capital of the Jewish people.   Y Net declares: Four major housing projects beyond Green Line removed from District Committee's agenda following PM's intervention.  ...

The Guardian is the United Kingdom based anti-Israel rag that is a powerful online force. For years, friends of Israel and the United States have complained about the Guardian"s slanted news coverage.  Robin Shepherd is one the Guardian's sharpest critics and he now offers a powerful alternative to the Guardian. This week Shepherd launched The Commentator.  The Commentator is up and...

A new poll of members of the governing Likud Party shows that 95% oppose the division of Jerusalem. We ask Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice to respect the will of the people of the only functioning Democracy in the Middle East. Given the 95% number there is no debate as to where they stand....

Friends of Israel should be on the alert when reports start appearing that the Netanyahu government is crafting another peace plan and that Shimon Peres will deliver its framework to Obama, this coming week. Peres is slated to present the outlines of the plan to President Obama and then he is scheduled to address a very...

That Arabs can live and build in any part of Israel never makes news. That Arabs control access to the Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism, is also an unreported fact. But if Jews try to build on land they own in Jerusalem, Arabs and leftist human rights groups go on the attack against Israel....

There is an Israeli joke that when someone sneezes in the Golan someone in Jerusalem says "Gesundheit." As a small sovereign state Israel is (more so than larger states) especially susceptible  to trends in the international community. Even large states like South Africa cannot ignore the will of the international community, when the community is...

Hamas ordered rocket attacks on Israel and then offered to re-instate the cease fire that has been in effect. Hamas included in its humanizing offensive a meeting with Fatah's Abbas to show the world they are not the evil force that is oppressing Palestinians, murdering Israelis, and an avowed enemy of the United States. It is a sign of...
