February 19, 2009 Stewart Weiss, THE JERUSALEM POST Dear Prime Minister Olmert, On September 30, 2002, our eldest son Ari, a member of the Sayeret Nahal anti-terrorist unit, was killed in battle in a raid on Hamas headquarters in Nablus. You were out of the country during the shiva, arriving only the day after. You […]

by Marc Prowisor For too many years most Diaspora Jews have viewed Israel as the “poor Jews”, the victims, and of course, “we have to help the poor Israelis”. Who can blame them? Every week they see another one of us coming to their synagogues and telling another story asking them to give Charity or […]

Friday, 20th February 2009 Melanie Phillips After merely one calendar month, Obama’s foreign policy has already been disastrous for the defenders of the free world. See Charles Krauthammer’s description of how he has turned America into a grinning Goliath staggering about sporting a ‘kick me’ sign on his back with Russia, Iran and Pakistan duly […]

By Louis René Beres The multiple ironies are staggering. On December 15, 2008, just before mounting his indispensable and purposeful Gaza operation against Palestinian terrorism, Prime Minister Olmert had released 230 Palestinian terrorists.

By Louis René Beres The George W. Bush years are now behind us. But Barack Obama, while still waging an American war on terror, will almost certainly remain committed to a so-called “Two-State Solution” in the Middle East. Here, he should be reminded that any state of Palestine would quickly become a primary launching point […]

IRAN:A Threat in Any Language By Joshua Teitelbaum The leader of Iran wants to “wipe Israel off the map.” Was he misquoted? Not by a long shot. By Joshua Teitelbaum. www.hoover.org/publications/digest/38017609.html During the past several years, Iranian leaders-most prominently President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.

By Phyllis Chesler Initially dismayed at the phenomenon, we have by now grown used to seeing pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas demonstrators behave like Holocaust-era Nazis.
