Dr. Nir Barzilai – “We don’t have all the answers for why some people live healthily into their tenth and eleventh decades, but our findings bring us a step closer to understanding the role that genes play in longevity.” Researchers discover genetic marker for lung cancer Discovery of Beduin gene may be key to anemia […]

The Nazis finally caught up with my father in 1967. I was only sixteen years old when he succumbed to the heart disease contracted through an untreated infection in the concentration camp. At roughly the same age, in 1944, my father had been thrust into the hell of Auschwitz and seen his parents selected for […]

Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, is set to host the Third National Palestine Solidarity Conference November 9-12. If this year’s conference is anything like the last two conferences – and judging by its leadership and sponsors it will be – its participants should be treated to another anti-Semitic and anti-U.S. “hate fest.” Reports of […]

So what’s the big deal with the so-called Geneva Accord – the “agreement” concocted by a cabal of Israeli non-officials in cahoots with second-tier Palestinian leaders, and sprung upon the unsuspecting Jewish public just a few days ago? Certainly it has some very dangerous, potentially disastrous elements, chief among them the offering up of Israel’s […]

When I got to Rutgers University in New Jersey last month, I almost forgot I was on a college campus. The atmosphere was far from the cool, button-down academic reserve typical of such institutions. It was more reminiscent of a battlefield. My arrival was greeted by a noisy demonstration of Palestinian and Jewish students holding […]

The 13-Story Buildings Were Not Occupied The IDF took extensive action against terrorist targets in Gaza last night, following the Palestinian terror attack that killed three soldiers on Friday morning. Within hours after the fatal Friday attack, the army began warning Arab residents living near Netzarim – the Jewish community in which the three soldiers […]

Before delving into the recent story of the 27 pilots who signed a document refusing to take out known terrorist leaders, let’s first examine an even more compelling phenomenon. They are both, in fact, inter-related, for one theory feeds the other, kind of like the act of throwing cut up, bloody fish to the sharks. […]

It is a “pretense” to think that “terrorism represents a failure, rather than a core element, of Palestinian governance,” as Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby recently put it. The question thus becomes: If terrorism is at the center of Palestinian leadership, what is at the center of Palestinian desires — for Palestinians, for Israel, and […]

A Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the community of Netzarim in Gaza early this morning, spraying gunfire and grenades at Israeli soldiers’ caravans. Three soldiers were killed and two others were wounded. The attack began at 4:15 AM when, under the cover of darkness, heavy fog and diversionary tactics, a Hamas terrorist from nearby Jebalya snuck through […]

In the face of overwhelming problems, nothing brings comfort like finding someone to blame. And when the problems bring great suffering, the blame often comes infused with hatred. That was the case when the prime minister of Malaysia spoke to Muslim leaders, urging them to unite against an imaginary common enemy — the Jews, who, […]
