Mahmoud Abbas Should Learn About Nancy Pelosi’s Father

Nancy Pelosi has many faults, but a failure to support Israel is not one of them. In Congress, the Speaker of the House has always been a strong supporter of the Jewish state. She inherited her strong sympathies from her father, Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., who was first a Congressman from Maryland and later the Mayor of Baltimore, and who played an unsung role in supporting a campaign to force Franklin Delano Roosevelt to help Jewish refugees, and in urging American recognition of the state of Israel.

Apartheid In Lebanon

It looks as though the world is preoccupied more with the Palestinians than with any other unfortunate ethnic group in the world, or indeed than with all of them combined. But that is only an illusion. The world isn’t really interested in them. The Palestinians only interest the world when an accusatory finger can be pointed at Israel. The most oppressed group of Palestinians in the world – close to half a million people, according to UNRWA – is the one living in Lebanon.

How Lebanon Compares with Israel In Its Treatment of the Palestinians

Most Palestinians in Lebanon do not have Lebanese citizenship, and therefore do not have Lebanese identity cards, which would entitle them to government services, such as health and education. They must rely on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for basic services, such as health care and education that the Lebanese state denies them. Nor are they are granted access to the other social services the Lebanese government provides.

NGO Defense For Children Minimizes ‘Palestinian’ Youth Violence

As has now been clearly established by Israel, several Palestinian NGOs are working hand in glove with terrorist groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the PFLP (Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine). Among them is DCI-P, the Palestinian branch of the NGO Defense For Children, which Israel has linked to the PFLP. DCI-P has been found to minimize, distort, or hide reports of Palestinian youth violence, and has shown little interest in how Palestinian children are recruited and exploited by the terror groups.

Israel Makes its Case to the Arabs

Keenly aware of Arab misperceptions of Israel, the American Jewish Committee has been releasing a series of Arabic-language videos about, among other topics, the history of the Jews, the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, Jews in Muslim lands. Now it has released an animated short about Israel’s Arab citizens, their role in Israeli society, and the rights afforded both them, and all of Israel’s citizens.

Why Is Germany Giving $117 Million — Or Any Aid At All — to the Palestinians?

Germany has just now signed an agreement with the P.A.’s Prime Minister, Mohammed Shtayyeh, according to which Berlin has pledged that $117 million will be provided to the rulers of the P.A. sitting in Ramallah, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, as “investment” in unspecified “vital projects” (presumably, infrastrucure projects fo bring such necessities as water and…

Palestinian Arson in Israel is Proof That Many Palestinians Do Not ‘Love’ the Land of ‘Palestine’

We are left with the recognition that the supposed Arab attachment to the land of “Palestine” is hollow; the Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Arabs who participate in arson, and the many others who cheer them on, taking satisfaction in such destruction, do not “love” the Land of Palestine. They are willing to contemplate the destruction of that land through arson, just as long as it deprives the hated Zionists of their farmlands and forests.

Israel Withholds $180 Million From PA — Why Not More?

Though the Biden Administration has been pledging large sums of money to the PA, despite the PA’s continuation of its “Pay-For-Slay” plan – giving large subsidies to terrorists and their families, both to reward past, and to incentivize future, terrorists – Israel at least is not going to contribute to that farce. The Bidenites may think they can get away with ignoring the Taylor Force Act, passed by Congress in 2018, which forbids any American aid from going to the PA as long as it continues with the “Pay-For-Slay” program, but Israel remains true to both the spirit and the letter of Taylor Force.

What the Biden Administration Should Do Now About the Palestinian Authority

The Palestinian Authority elections were called not because Palestinian Authority President-for-Life Mahmoud Abbas had suddenly become a believer in democracy, but because he wanted to put on a show for the Americans, with what he thought would be a reasonable facsimile of democracy, hoping thereby to turn on the spigot of aid that Trump had turned off. But when it became clear he would lose both the presidential and the parliamentary elections, he cancelled the elections.

Buoyed By Washington’s Support, the Palestinian Authority Shows Its Fangs

The Biden Administration seems to believe that the best way to oppose the terror group Hamas is to support its arch-rival, the Palestinian Authority. Mahmoud Abbas may be a despot, a President-For-Life now entering the sixteenth year of his four-year term; he may have his goons threaten and intimidate his critics, but at least he isn’t launching rockets into Israel.

Islamo-leftism and extreme Jew-hatred within the the Marxist “Movement for Black Lives”

Morton Klein, the director of ZOA, the Zionist Organization of America, whom I know well and with whom I had the pleasure of having lunch at an American Freedom Alliance meeting in Los Angeles, has just published an important article denouncing anti-Semitism in the Black Lives Matter movement. I say important, because if Klein doesn’t…

Are Young Palestinians Really Suffering From Israeli Discrimination?

John Brennan mentions that these young Palestinians grow up suffering “discrimination.” What does he have in mind? There is not a single Israeli in Gaza, so Israeli “discrimination” against Palestinians in Gaza is not possible. In the West Bank, 90% of the Arabs live in Areas A and B. In Area A, the PA has complete control of daily life. In Area B, the PA has complete control of all aspects of the Arab inhabitants lives except for security. It is only in Area C, where Israelis retain control, that fewer than 10% of the West Bank Arabs live. What kind of “discrimination” does Brennan think they must endure in Area C? Are they denied schooling, medical care, the right to practice their (Muslim) religion, the right to employment? No. They can’t vote in Israeli elections, granted – but why should they? They are not Israeli citizens.

Jews Cannot Let the U.S. Turn into Europe

It would be a tragedy if we were on a European trajectory. There, the kinds of lies and smears now being normalized and spread by likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and other progressives on the floor of Congress have manifested in harassment and violence against Jews.

The hijrah into Europe has purged its Jews succeeding where Hitler couldn’t. The number of Jews in Europe has fallen to 1,000-year low.

Israel Must Let Hamas Know That Nothing On Earth Would Lead Them to Ban Jews From the Temple Mount

A commentary by Nadav Shragai on the Muslim demand that Jews be barred from the Temple Mount altogether is here. …We need to hope that no one in any of the Zionist political parties, defense establishment, or Israel Police is even remotely entertaining this impertinent demand. The ability to visit the Temple Mount is all…
