The cabinet meeting, called into emergency session minutes after the explosion on Bus #2 in Jerusalem, dispersed in the wee hours of the morning. A subdued, visibly tired prime minister sat motionless in his high-backed chair. There had been a phone call from Crawford, Texas. President Bush voiced his condolences and urged Israel not to […]

Have Palestinian Leaders Shed Their Nazi Past? In Part II of this article, I documented that the Palestinian movement has its roots in the Nazi movement and the Final Solution. Here, I examine whether there is any reason to think that Palestinian leaders no longer want to exterminate the Jews. The first major reorganization of […]

No breakthrough is expected in the matter of Jonathan Pollard’s release, despite the court session yesterday. “The Jonathan Pollard case is a stain on the American legal process,” his attorney Eliot Lauer said. No breakthrough is expected in the matter of Jonathan Pollard’s release or re-sentencing, although his attorney Eliot Lauer did say yesterday that […]

Over a ten-day period in summer 2001, three residents of Homesh, an isolated, secular West Bank settlement, were murdered. The first to be killed was Danny Yehuda. After shooting at his car, the terrorists came up to him and fired point-blank. Yehuda’s neighbor, Alex Briskin, traveled in the same automobile and saved himself by playing […]

Like many intellectuals, I had adopted Arafat’s cause, taking what I believed was a principled stand that blamed Israel for the conflict in the Middle East, and especially for the suffering of Palestinians.
