Two months ago I was sitting in a Berkeley, California City Council meeting listening to speakers and Council members argue over a proposed resolution to prohibit the City of Berkeley from doing business with Israeli companies or American companies that do business with Israeli companies. The resolution was created in response to the supposed massacre […]

THE BUSH PLAN: On June 24, 2002, President Bush set forth the conditions that the Palestinian Arabs must fulfill in order to merit U.S. support for the creation of a Palestinian Arab state. Among the major obligations are that the Palestinian Arabs must “dismantle the terrorist infrastructure,” “end incitement,” “elect new leaders not compromised by […]

It was about an hour after Shabbat when I heard a strange loud noise. Not knowing what it was, or perhaps not wanting to know what it was, I continued making plans with my friends to go out that night. About a second later I was talking to my friend when she told me what […]

The Palestinian refugee issue is one of the most intransigent aspects of the peace process, and one of the largest obstacles to a workable final status agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. According to the United Nations, the approximately 650,000 Palestinians refugees who left their homes in the wake of the 1948-1949 Arab Israeli […]

Damage may be done here at home on June 28th, when FBI Director Robert Mueller is scheduled to address the annual convention of the American Muslim Council (AMC).

The strategy […]

Whenever a massacre occurs in Israel, Palestinian spokesmen rush out to say: ”Yes, this is terrible, but this is what happens when you have a people with no hope for an end to the occupation.” Apologists in the West invariably echo this exculpation/explanation. Of all the mendacity that pollutes Middle Eastern discourse, this one is […]

Over the past twenty months, supporters of Israel have witnessed a consistent escalation of the war against the Jewish people. A war unlike previous wars in the civilized world, it is a deliberate war of terror that specifically targets defenseless women and children, men in wheelchairs, the aged and the infirm, and infants. Tactics range […]

In the months that have followed the murderous attacks launched on September 11, President Bush has repeatedly, and correctly, emphasized that the war on terror must be fought both at home and abroad. He has recently underscored his determination to make advances on these two fronts by creating a real capability for homeland defense and […]

Almost two years of terror and bloodshed in the Jewish state have led to political and cultural changes whose full significance is only now coming to light. Most commentators have focused mainly on the military and diplomatic fronts: The collapse of the Oslo accords and the disintegration of the PA, the rise of anti-Semitism in […]
