We have all been asking ourselves the same question, over and over again. Why? What happened to Ariel Sharon? Why is he insisting that Israel abandon Gush Katif and evict people from their homes? The difficulty is compounded following the tragic events at the end of last week: Kassam missiles hitting S’derot, killing two children, […]

Throughout this year’s presidential campaign, John Kerry, John Edwards and other prominent Democrats have attempted to depict as a failure President Bush’s conduct of the war on terror. But in his new book, “Shadow War: The Untold Story of How Bush is Winning the War on Terror” (see opposite page), veteran journalist Richard Miniter proves […]

Next week, Hebron will celebrate Shabbat Chayei Sarah \u2013 when we read in the Torah about Abraham’s purchase of Ma’arat HaMachpela some three thousand seven hundred years ago. Tens of thousands of Jews from around the world will arrive in Hebron for this festive event. However, Hebron is not the only Judea, Samaria or Gaza […]

“The public debate about the disengagement plan has concentrated mostly on the settlement issues, and has largely ignored the security issues – but the plain fact is that the plan will actually increase terrorism.” So says IDF Col. (res.) Meir Indor, who has prepared a paper on the dangers of the withdrawal and has circulated […]
