Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST January 11, 2007 The average Israeli is not particularly interested in the US-led war in Iraq. As far as most Israelis are concerned, that war, going on just a few hundred kilometers from our borders, might as well be taking place in outer space. It simply doesn’t seem connected to […]

by Paula R. Stern Arutz Sheva Jan 12, 2007 Twice now, Palestinians have used their bodies to prevent the Israeli army from attacking the home of a known terrorist; and twice now, the Israeli army has buckled under the threat of a “humanitarian” disaster. After the apparent defeat of the Israeli army by unarmed masses, […]

During a public debate in a school in the center of Israel, a student arose and addressed a direct question to a representative of the Left: “Do you really want to tell us that such a thing is possible – a ‘demilitarized Palestinian State’? Do you, yourself, believe this?” The questioner had no need for […]

Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 8, 2007 There is something insidious about half-truths. To accept a half-truth demands accepting also a lie. Last week, readers of The Wall Street Journal were presented with a particularly insidious half-truth along with a lie in the form of an op-ed by University of Haifa professor and prominent […]

By P. David Hornik FrontPageMagazine.com | January 5, 2007 “The security border of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.” Those words were spoken by Yitzhak Rabin in his last address to the Knesset in October 1995, only a month before he was assassinated. Rabin is now […]

Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST January 5, 2007 With the Israeli media scope-locked on bigger stories, the fact that Thursday Prime Minister Ehud Olmert paid an obsequious and shameful visit to a country which propagates Holocaust denial and sponsors the Palestinian jihad went largely unnoticed. No, Olmert did not visit Iran. He visited Egypt. Iran’s […]

Israel’s policy of opacity or deliberate ambiguity on nuclear weapons had already been breached long before Prime Minister Olmert’s public statement on December 11th. And it was also breached at the prime-ministerial level, no less. More than 10 years ago, Shimon Peres explicitly undermined Israel’s longstanding commitment to keep the bomb in the “basement.” At that time, speaking with a group of Israeli newspaper and magazine editors, Peres had publicly advanced the preposterous idea of unilateral denuclearization in exchange for “peace.”

I received a great number of responses to my December 28 Letter entitled, “Has Prime Minister Olmert Lost His Marbles?” (This Letter is not my usual weekly Letter. Please, watch for it on Thursday. I think you will find it quite interesting.)

We are now in the very early stages of the 2008 presidential campaign – an opportune time, as we see it, for the Jewish community to do something to alleviate the plight of Jonathan Pollard.
