Israel is not a “colonial” enterprise belonging to some overseas mother country, but the place where Jews have lived uninterruptedly for more than 3000 years, and to which Jews living elsewhere have returned to rebuild their ancient commonwealth.

Because facts are hate speech. And evidence is the enemy.

But respect Islam!

Israel is doing its best to help the Palestinians economically.

The latest opinion poll makes clear that the Palestinians are the real obstacle to peace.

It is the same with the top echelon of leaders of Hamas – they want to be treated by Israeli doctors in Israeli hospitals.

The full weight of the Palestinian Authority was used to fashion an investigative committee’s report that absolved PA President-for-Life Mahmoud Abbas of all guilt for the murder of his opponent Nizar Banat

The latest opinion poll makes clear that the Palestinians are the real obstacle to peace.

The UN was established in the wake of the Holocaust in order to ensure the wholesale slaughter of a people would never happen again.  This will be the final death cry of a vicious, corrupt, failed institution. Palestinianism is a euphemism Islamic genocide of the Jews. “Palestine” is Israel.

Lord Balfour wrote in his letter to Lord Rothschild (“Balfour Declaration” is the name by which that letter was subsequently known), a long-overdue recognition by His Majesty’s Government of the historic connection of the Jewish people to what they call Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel, the place where Jews had lived uninterruptedly for more than 3,000 years.

Biden will be under terrific pressure to exercise the veto, not only from Israel’s many supporters in the Democratic Party, but from the entire Republican Congressional delegation, that controls the House and is almost even in the Senate (51 Democrats-49 Republicans).

The Taylor Force Act, passed by Congress unanimously in 2018, was designed to cut off all economic aid to the Palestinian Authority as long as the PA’s “Pay-For-Slay” program remained in operation.

Let’s remember why, and how, Nizar Banat was murdered.

On the Temple Mount, the issue is clear, or should be. One side – that of Israel — wishes to allow religious freedom for both Jews and Muslims on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest site for Muslims. The Muslims, however, wish to continue to prevent Jewish visitors from praying on the Mount, and to keep strict limits on visiting hours by Jews to four hours a day, and only on five days a week, while there are no limits on when Muslims may visit.

The arch-terrorist Ahlam Al-Tamimi was the mastermind of the 2001 suicide bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem. She chose the site because it was a favorite of mothers taking their children out for a lunchtime treat, and she expected – correctly – a lot of casualties.

The father of one of Palestinian terrorist murderer Ahlam Al-Tamimi’s American victims, Arnold Roth, notes that it is Jordan that is dependent on the U.S. for its economic wellbeing. The huge amounts given annually, that have now risen to $1.65 billion, are what keep the Amman government afloat. At any time the American government could…

Palestinian Body-Snatchers Enrage the Druze Tiran Fero was a 18-year-old Druze young man driving in Jenin when, on November 22, he had a car accident, was seriously wounded, and was taken to a Palestinian hospital for treatment. His family members were in his hospital room when 20 to 30 masked men entered. Fero’s uncle identified…

The well-known antisemite and sneaker designer Kanye (“Ye”) West has had his comeuppance for his latest series of antisemitic remarks. He believed himself to be invulnerable to any consequences for those antisemitic statements and tweets….

No good deed…..

Am Israel chai.

Jews have lived continuously in what is now the state of Israel for 3,000 years

He is also a professed admirer of Iran’s Supreme Leader, the ruthless and corrupt dictator Ayatollah Khamenei, whose regime beats girls and women to death for not wearing the hijab, hangs homosexuals, sentences political dissidents to the torture chamber of Evin Prison, massacres those who protest peacefully against the regime, and has his army mow down ethnic minorities including, most recently, Kurds and Baluchis.

Israel is a small country that has had to fight three wars for its survival, in 1948, 1967, and 1973, and well as numerous lesser campaigns against terrorist groups, including four wars in Gaza against Hamas, two wars in Lebanon against the PLO and Hezbollah, and a recent 66-hour campaign against Palestinian Islamic Jihad in both Gaza and the West Bank. Israelis now live under a threat of possible annihilation by the genocidal Iranians, who make no secret of their desire to destroy the Jewish state and are rushing pell-mell to be able to manufacture nuclear weapons to accomplish that aim.

One of the worst countries has long been Qatar, which has a population of 3 million and more than two million migrant workers making up 95% of the private sector workforce.

Mitchell Bard reminds us here that for all the outrage expressed over putative Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights, there is no such outrage over the prevalence of slavery, or of near-slave conditions for domestic workers, in the Arab countries. The hypocrisy of those purporting to believe in social justice and ranting about white privilege and…

The Palestinians presented “five demands” to Joe Biden when he met with Mahmoud Abbas in mid-July.

The Palestinians, as heedless of reality as ever, had the ever-astonishing audacity to prepare “five demands” that they presented to President Biden when he met with Mahmoud Abbas in mid-July.

The Palestinians still don’t get it. They refuse to comprehend their new, much diminished status in the world.

Earlier this year, prominent Kuwaiti journalist Ahmed Al-Jarallah explained why he and many others are fed up with the Palestinians.

The late Palestinian activist Nizar Banat uploaded scathing videos about the corruption in the Palestinian Authority (PA), and especially that in which Mahmoud Abbas was implicated; for his pains, Abbas had his goons beat Banat to death, giving new meaning to the phrase about “silencing your critics.” Many Palestinians have been up in arms about recent high-profile appointments of close relatives of senior PA officials to positions in the government for which they were distinctly unqualified.

The PA, the PLO, and other Palestinian groups must show that they:

The award-winning Arab journalist, the Jerusalem-based Khaled Abu Toameh, has for years been scathingly critical of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas leaders. Recently he noted, with evident satisfaction over the wheels of justice grinding however slowly, that the Arab states have stopped their financial support for both Palestinian groups, and are thoroughly fed up with…

The Palestinians can only blame themselves for antagonizing their Arab brothers and consequently losing the Arab money. The Palestinians have been spitting in the face of the Arab countries, while at the same time expecting these countries to continue funding them.

The AP has disseminated the glad news that Mahmoud Abbas, now entering the 18th year of his four-year term as President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), is against an “armed struggle.”

The Saudis now know that their most useful partner in confronting their mortal enemy, Iran, is the Jewish state.

The Crown Prince has also turned the Muslim World League, once a prime vehicle for the Saudi government funding of Sunni Muslim ultra-conservatism globally, into a public relations tool for propagating Saudi religious tolerance. The league’s head, Mohammed al-Issa, a former Saudi justice minister, led a delegation of Muslim religious leaders on a ground-breaking visit in January 2020 to Auschwitz, one of Nazi Germany’s foremost extermination camps for Jews.

While Egypt and Israel have for years been security partners, sharing intelligence on Jihadis in the Sinai, including regrouped remnants of the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, as well as on the Muslim Brotherhood, the Gazan branch of which is Hamas, a new and promising development is bringing them closer still: Israeli natural gas

These are the Democrat’s ‘peace makers.”

More of the fruit borne of Trump’s Middle East peace…..the greatest historical achievement of the 21st century.

Trump peace.

The New York Times has a well-deserved reputation for biased reporting on Israel. Instead of answering its critics, it has done nothing to remedy the situation. Instead, it has chosen to make matters worse with its latest hire….

The New York Times has a long history of biased reporting on Israel. Reuters is no different.

Let’s get this straight. If members of the terror group Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state (see its Charter, Articles 1 and 3) fires rockets toward Jerusalem – not a military target – in order to kill civilians, and if, to stop those Hamas attacks, the IDF launches air strikes and kills those responsible for such an unprovoked attack, that is not “murder,” but “self-defense.”

The New York Times has a long record of biased reporting on Israel.

Preposterous demands of an equally preposterous administration.

Not only has Mahmoud Abbas threatened to “rescind the recognition” of Israel by the P.A., but he is also calling on the Biden Administration to “rescind” the 1987 Congressional designation of the PLO as a terror group, which US presidents for over 30 years have waived every six months.
