The families of the Israeli-Arab suicide terrorist who murdered three in Nahariya yesterday are currently eligible to receive monthly stipends of some 2,800 shekels ($650) each. He was married to two wives, and each one of them may apply for the “insurance” payment as a result of his death. The law currently does not distinguish […]

Do you get it now? It is a question that many Israelis wanted to ask yesterday of America and the rest of the finger-pointing world. Not in a smart-alecky manner. Not to say, “We told you so.” It was simply a question for those who, at a safe remove from the terrorism that Israelis face […]

(Washington, D.C.): Today’s attacks against the United States are acts of war. The Nation must vigorously support President Bush in responding appropriately and forcefully. The following essay by the Center for Security Policy’s President, Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., which appeared today in National Review OnLine, offers specific suggestions concerning what such a response should entail. […]

Wednesday, August 29, 2001 Two weeks ago I wrote that Israel was in a war and that the only way for Israel to win was to fight the war on its terms — to “destroy, kill, capture and expel the armed Palestinian forces that have declared war on Israel.” Dozens of readers wrote to denounce […]

(Washington, D.C.): As the latest, appalling exercise in mob rule that passes for UN-sponsored multinational deliberations grinds towards its scheduled end-point in Durban, South Africa, it is well to reflect on where this meeting on racism (and other grievances) went wrong. Happily, two recent analyses — the first an editorial that appeared last week in […]

Should Israel build a fence and separate from the Palestinians? This has become the subject of a lively international debate, one where nearly everyone, including the U.S. government and Palestinians ("It is better to keep us from the Jews, for we hate them"), feel entitled to add their two cents. Here are mine: Although building […]

The denunciation of Israel by the U.S. State Department for the killing of Mustafa Zubari, terrorist and murderer of countless Israelis, clearly puts President Bush and the State Department on two different tracks. While President Bush stated on August 24 that Arafat was not doing enough to stop the terrorist attacks on Israel, Richard Boucher, […]

The following are the results of a Dahaf telephone poll of representative sample of 501 Israeli adults (including Israeli Arabs) carried out on 28 August for Yediot Ahronot. Estimation error +/- 4.5 percentage points: Was it a correct move for the IDF to enter Beit Jallah last night? Yes 75% No 20% No reply 5% […]

The apologists for Yasser Arafat’s criminal war on Israel have seized on another tactic in the parallel propaganda battle. They are attacking Israeli use of U.S.-made planes and weapons to fight terrorists. The logic of this latest Palestinian ploy doesn’t stand up under the cold harsh light of reality. Israel acquired the weapons for self-defense. […]

If somebody robbed your house twice a week, how many years would it take before you began to realize that he couldn´t be trusted? We are confronting you with this question, but we are trying to aim it at the only man from whom we want an answer: Shimon Peres! Psychologists endlessly argue about what […]
