According to statements that appeared in the Israeli media, during one of your recent broadcasts for Fox News, you stated that “My whole life I have been a Zionist… But after seeing the suffering of the Palestinian people up close, I have also become a Palestinian.” As a “Palestinian”, Mr. Rivera, perhaps you were approached […]

Lost in the tumult of escalating Middle East violence — and the ongoing tack of moral equivalency that permeates its analysis — is the emerging of a very shrewd strategy. By early 1937, German generals unveiled with pride to Hitler their new dive bomber and Panzer tank. “We wish that we could have tested them […]

NEW YORK – The statement by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan condemning what he called “the Israeli occupation” is wrong, the Zionist Organization of America points out. In fact, there is no “Israeli occupation.” The term “occupation” was used by Kofi Annan, and is used by others, to indicate that Israel has no right to […]

There is a time for war and a time for peace. Now is the time for war. Not a war in order to bring them to the negotiations table. Nor a war to bring peace. Nor a war because there is no alternative. Not even a war to halt the terrorist attacks. But a war […]

Separation already existed back then. However, the shootings and artillery attacks from the “West Bank” on Israel’s Mediterranean coastline showed how ineffective it […]

Chana had just heard the havdala ceremony from the rejoicing fathers and uncles of her nephew, the bar mitzvah boy. The family was in Jerusalem for the Sabbath to join with their relatives for the simcha, joyous event. The women and children were gathered outside the guest house in the Beis Yisrael section of Mea […]

Ari Fleischer was teased at the Gridiron dinner the other night for being “the only White House press secretary with his own Middle East policy.” That was because the president’s spokesman had blurted out an incontrovertible truth last week, as pressure mounted for renewed U.S. intercession between Palestinian attackers and Israeli defenders. What was the […]

Joseph Farah has been a newspaperman for more than 25 years, but it wasn’t until he took on what he calls the myths of the Middle East in a same-titled column on his WorldNetDaily.com website on Oct. 11 that he became an overnight sensation. ”Something magical happened,” he says. “That column was read by millions […]
