One of the biggest bugs that the Moonbat Left has discovered in its bonnet the past few weeks is the College of Judea and Samaria. It is a college that Israel set up in the Samarian town of Ariel, a town that was constructed outside Israel’s 1967 borders (the “Green Line”) in land liberated from […]

One of the most elementary principles of law is known as Nullum Crimen Sine Poena: “No crime without a punishment.” Stemming from at least three separate passages of the Torah (Exod. 21:22-25; Lev. 24:17-21; Deut. 19:19-21), the Lex Talionis or “law of exact retaliation” was absolutely integral to the Nuremberg Trial and judgment. Indeed, in […]

I spoke with my great nephew, Danny Shlomo, last night. Danny lives in Brooklyn and attends a yeshiva high school there. Last year he and his family visited Gush Katif and like most people who visit fell in love with the area and its people. Danny loves animals, especially snakes. So imagine his surprise when […]

I have a confession to make: I’m in love with the Land of Israel. After nearly 18 years living here, through two intifadas, two Gulf Wars, the ups and downs (mostly downs) of Israel’s turbulent economy, and a two-and-a-half-year wave of terror which fills me with dread and heartbreak, my ardor for Israel has not […]

‘My Name is Rachel Thaler’ is not the title of a play that is likely to be produced anytime soon in London. Thaler, aged 16, was blown up at a pizzeria in an Israeli shopping mall. She died after an 11-day struggle for life following the February 16, 2002 attack, when a suicide bomber approached […]

Statements made by and the conduct of Israel\u2019s leaders since 1993 create the false impression that Israeli-American ties constitute a one-way relationship. The presumption is that America gives and Israel receives, leading to Israel\u2019s inferior position and the alleged compulsion to follow the State Department dictates. However, Former Secretary of State and NATO forces commander […]

Last year, as you may recall, following Independence Day (Yom Ha’atzma’ut), I wrote an article called _”The Traffic Jam that Saved Eretz Yisrael”_ (http://www.hebron.com/articles/articles3.htm) . Tens and hundreds of thousands of people from around Israel arriving at Gush Katif to show support for a strong, continued Israeli presence in this area never made it, due […]

Britain’s Association of University Teachers, representing 49,000 of that country’s academics, has just voted to boycott their Israeli colleagues at two universities, Haifa and Bar-Ilan, and to consider boycotting those at a third, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. One of the boycotted universities, Haifa, was accused of having suppressed a thesis about a massacre of […]

Jewish settlements are the way to achieve peace and indicator of its truth. Twenty years ago, Arabs in general, and particularly Palestinians, were quite sure of their victory over Israel. For their success, they didn’t need military superiority or even sophisticated “salami” politics, which Yaser Arafat conducted for more than ten years. They considered the […]

Gadid — Plots of flowers grow outside most of the homes we pass as we drive through this small agricultural cooperative in southern Gaza. I point out a particularly lavish one, and the driver, a gruff 55-year-old, stops the car. “What are those white ones?” I ask, motioning through the window. “And those yellow ones […]
