On March 13, the U.S.-sponsored Resolution 1397, endorsing the principle of Palestinian statehood, passed 14-0 in the United Nations Security Council. While presumably viewed by the administration as a carrot to induce Arab "allies" to support a forthcoming war against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the action is a watershed marking the end of the President’s […]

It is not an exaggeration to say that all of “progressive mankind” is now completely crazy about the idea of establishing a new Palestinian state in the lands called Yehuda, Shomron and Aza (collectively known as YESHA, and nowadays referred to as “the West Bank and the Gaza Strip”). Israel liberated these lands from Jordan […]

Much has deservedly been written of the moral squalor of the three members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee who have publicly wished they could recall the 1994 prize to Shimon Peres (they remain perfectly happy with the award to Arafat). One of them said that the award to Peres threatened “to bring the prize […]

New York – Perhaps the most surprising element of the current unrest in the Middle East is that Israel decided to fight, said an expert on Middle East affairs last month. According to Dr. Daniel Pipes, it certainly shocked the Arabs who expected to find a people who would pick up their swords and run […]

There is no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. So says — to take an almost random sample — The Post (March 26), Sandy Berger (March 29), George Mitchell (April 1), Colin Powell and Kofi Annan (April 10), Colin Powell again (April 21). This conventional wisdom is universally accepted, but odd. Historically, most conflicts are […]

The Israeli government has revealed that two of the 13 Palestinian Arab terrorists who were recently flown from Bethlehem to Cyprus, Ibrahim Abyet and Ismail Hamdan were involved in the murder of an American citizen, Avi Boaz. Media reports indicate that Abyat was also involved in the May 2001 drive-by shooting death of Mrs. Sarah […]

WASHINGTON — Most of the leaders of the Democratic Party and its liberal media voices distanced themselves from Israel in the midst of its defense against Arafat’s war. Their echo-chambered furor caused George W. Bush to waver temporarily, but an outcry of moral dismay from Republicans stiffened his administration’s spine. Too partisan a reading? Consider: […]

New York – The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is urging the Governor of California to reduce state funding to the University of California at Berkeley if the university refuses to cancel a planned course supporting violence against Israel and urging the destruction of Israel. According to the Fall 2002 course catalogue, Course #R1A, to […]

NEW YORK – The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) –the oldest, and one of the largest pro-Israel organizations in the United States– has strongly praised the resolution by Israel’s Likud Party that “No Palestinian state will be established west of the Jordan River.” ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said: “The Likud’s resolution is consistent […]

Thank you for asking me here to the Heritage Foundation. I’m pleased to be able to speak to you today about the Bush Administration’s efforts to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The spread of weapons of mass destruction to state sponsors of terrorism and terrorist groups is, in my estimation, the gravest […]
