Prof. Talia Einhorn, of the T.M.C. Asser Institute, an institute for international law in The Hague, writes that the Israeli presence in Yesha does not constitute “occupation,” and moreover, that the U.N. Partition Resolution of 1947 that mentions a “new Arab state” is of the “recommendation” type and not the “mandatory” type. In light of […]

As supporters of Jonathan Pollard prepare for a prayer rally on his behalf at the Western Wall on June 4, it appears that one of the most important questions surrounding his case has been answered.

“You could sit in synagogue, close your eyes and know – just from the tune – what day of the year it was,” says Pinchas Melchior, recalling his youth in Copenhagen. The rich musical heritage of Danish Jewry is reflected in the vast array of melodies used in the Great Synagogue of Copenhagen, says Melchior, […]

In accepting for the first time a timetable for the creation of an independent Palestinian state, the Israeli cabinet may have sealed the fate of modern Israel.

Jonathan was never accused, indicted or convicted of treason, but that has not stopped the U.S. Government’s deliberate mischaracterization of Jonathan and the offense he committed. Nor was he indicted for spying AGAINST the United States, only for […]

For the past decade, Israel has been fundamentally anti-democratic in one crucial sense. Every single government except for that of Ehud Barak was headed by people who ran on one political platform and then did the exact opposite. Only Barak did what he stated he would do. Yitzhak Rabin ran on a strict No-Deal-With-the-PLO platform, […]

A total of three Kassam rockets were fired at the Negev city of Sderot today, and two people were treated for shock. The first one landed early this morning in a built-up area, followed an hour later by one that hit […]

Deputy Education Minister Tzvi Hendel and MK Uri Ariel, both of the National Union party, visited the hub of illegal Arab construction in Jerusalem today.
