For the past few weeks the weather here has been great. Considering that I was born and raised in Florida, one would probably suppose that ‘great weather’ means Miami Beach style ‘fun in the sun’. Actually it’s been raining almost non-stop except for a few days this past week in which the sun took over […]

A high level of IDF activity in Judea, Samaria and Gaza has been reported over recent days. In the Shechem area, IDF troops today destroyed the homes of two terrorists, including that of the Samaria commander of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In an unrelated incident, an IDF soldier sustained light injuries […]

An ancient house built hundreds of years ago in the Old City of Jerusalem received new Jewish residents yesterday. The house, located just inside the Damascus Gate (Shaar Shechem) entrance, was recently purchased by the Ateret Cohanim yeshiva from an Arab family that lived there previously. Arutz-7 reported last week that similar efforts continue in […]

Recent letter-writer Lester LeViness condescendingly informs Journal News readers that they are ignorant, with little or no idea of what the Balfour Declaration is (“Rights” Not Respected, 10/2). He then attempts to prove that Israel has repeatedly violated this declaration with U.S. financial and moral support. His conclusion? The attacks of 9/11 and indeed Muslim […]

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted a successful test today of yet another aspect of its Arrow anti-ballistic missile program: the missile’s ability to hit four separate targets at once. Arutz-7’s Kobi Finkler reports from the site that the test involved the simultaneous firing of four Arrow missiles at a volley of missiles “fired” at […]

So Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal, the Saudi prince whose $10 million donation Mayor Giuliani rejected in the days after September 11, has found a receptacle for his money tainted with blood-soaked anti-Semitism — the bow-tied preppies at Phillips Academy, Andover, founded in 1778. The prince’s $500,000 donation, as our Timothy Starks reports at Page One […]

The Washington Post recently reported that though the U.S. is now infuriated to the point of war by Saddam Hussein’s chemical, nuclear and biological programs, and by his contacts with international terrorists, the U.S. itself highly valued Iraq as an ally when these programs began. The Post’s Michael Dobbs wrote on Monday that U.S. involvement […]

What does the Arabic word “jihad” mean? One answer came last week, when Saddam Hussein had his Islamic leaders appeal to Muslims worldwide to join his jihad to defeat the “wicked Americans” should they attack Iraq; then he himself threatened the United States with jihad. As this suggests, jihad is “holy war.” Or, more precisely: […]

The Al-Aksa Brigades announced last night that one of their members had murdered a Jew – and today the victim’s body was found, burnt beyond recognition, next to his car. Masoud Alon, 70, of Menachemiya – a community between the Jordan Valley and the Kinneret Sea – was reported missing yesterday. A massive search involving […]
