Not long ago, there were two major terror attacks that forced us to wake up to the reality of our lives in Eretz Yisrael. One was the horrific explosion of the fortified ‘Orchan’ military base, located at the entrance to Gush Katif, in which one Israeli soldier was killed. The terrorists dug a tunnel from […]

The Palestinians timed one of their last effective terror attacks for the day before the international court at The Hague began hearing the Palestinian petition against Israels defense barrier. On February 22, a suicide bomber killed 8 Israelis and injured 62 by blowing up a bus outside Jerusalems Inbal Hotel. Sunday, July 11, two days […]

Few will argue with the assertion that today we live in an age of Political Correctness. Nevertheless, let us try to free ourselves from these preconceived notions and soberly observe the situation. Whether we like it or not, among all the different solutions available for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict, we must consider the option of […]

Who today remembers a ship called Rimfrost? Or Franca Maria, or Capetan Manolis? Who remembers Inge Toft and Astypatea? The sailors who manned them, no doubt, and the merchants whose cargoes they carried. In the 1950s they, and many others like them, were actors in the drama of the continuing and allembracing Arab attack on […]
