“There is no ceasefire.” So did an Army Radio reporter sum up the situation last night, in light of the non-stop Palestinian violence and attacks against Israeli targets ever since the agreement brokered by CIA director George Tenet went into effect Wednesday afternoon. In Shechem this afternoon, 1,500 Arabs stormed Joseph’s Tomb and yelled slogans […]

Morton A. Klein National President, Zionist Organization of America14 June 2001 The State Department´s demand that Israel prohibit all Jewish construction in Judea-Samaria-Gaza and parts of Jerusalem ignores the crucial fact that between 1948-1967, before a single "settlement" existed –and before any Jew could set foot on the Temple Mount– there was constant Palestinian Arab […]

You’d never know it from looking at her, but apparently my mother was a dangerous woman. On Tuesday, she was shot to death on her way to what must have been a sinister deed. Why else would she be killed in a horrible manner? If the gunmen who so callously ripped my mother away from […]

WASHINGTON — In launching a war to drive the Jews from his Palestine, the Arabs’ Arafat has come up with an impressive array of weaponry. It goes beyond the rifles and grenades that too-trusting Israeli governments permitted, which helped transform a police force into an army spoiling for a fight. Now it includes mortars built […]

Amid fresh reports of Arab-Israeli violence, Colin Powell is in hand-wringing mode-endorsing wise men’s reports, conceiving frameworks and timelines, appointing special envoys, praising good, denouncing bad. Meanwhile, the President enunciates general principles (like, “We will stand up for our friends in […]

It is impossible not see the horrible tragedy at the “Versailles” wedding hall in Jerusalem as metaphor for the current condition of all of Israel. Musses of people dancing happily while standing on a thin shell with no underpinnings, whose support beams have all been removed by corrupt criminals and irresponsible fools. Dancing unknowingly in […]

On May 6, the Israeli navy intercepted a Lebanese ship headed for Gaza. It carried a full cargo of weapons, including Katyusha rockets and Strella antiaircraft missiles. These are not weapons of protest. These are not weapons for demonstrations. These are weapons for all-out war. The Katyushas can reach the most densely populated parts of […]

When an independent state of Palestine is declared in the next twelve months, on territories carved out of the still-living body of Israel, it will become an optimal platform for future war and terrorism. But the truly existential threat posed by this platform could require some form of prior Israeli nuclear disarmament. Once the new […]

State Atty. Edna Arbel has asked for a recording of the harsh words by MK Ahmed Tibi yesterday against IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz. Tibi called him a “fascist, cold-blooded child murderer.” It appears, however, that his parliamentary immunity will exempt him from standing trial for the crime of incitement.
