Two pictures of a group of Jews, many who were smiling with joy and pride. Jews who were young and old, males and females, frozen in a moment of time. When I see this, it’s hard not to get emotional. It’s hard not to feel dread and hope at the same time. It’s hard not to feel joy and anger. In one picture I see the past disappear in a dark abyss of hopelessness and deep despair and in the other I see a joyous future so full of unlimited hope and incredible brightness.
Let me be clear about something If you hear me talking about the occupation, I’m talking about the occupation of Jewish land by Arab invaders. I’m talking about the occupation of Jewish holy sites by people so infused in antisemitism they deny the very existence of anything Jewish. I’m talking …
Do you know why I always write or speak in support of Israel and Jews? It’s not simply because Israel is a perfect country – it isn’t. It’s not because I agree with every decision they make – I don’t. It’s not because every Jew is wonderful – we’re not. …
One cannot pretend to fight terrorism if you limit it to white supremacists while ignoring the threat and hatred and incitement that comes out of the Islamic world too.
The world should hang its head in shame. Deep shame. Embarrassing shame. Penetrating shame. Here is the kind of shame that should cause them to have sleepless nights, as they try to explain to their kids about the day they supported evil. Because when the UN failed to pass a resolution …
There is not a single day in the year, or a single hour in the day or even a single moment in time that I am not grateful that the Jews have restored sovereignty in their ancient land of Israel. Because there is not a single day in the year, …
There are good guys and bad guys in the Middle East. Actually, there’s only ONE good guy. Israel is that good guy – a country that values human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and a country that helps out the world constantly with humanitarianism missions sent around the …
Peace with the palestinians is an illusion. The goal is noble, but it’s not based in any kind of reality that exists in the real world. While Israel buries its dead – soldiers and citizens murdered while going about their normal lives, the palestinians will celebrate these “operations” by handing …
The PLO Secretary General, Saeb Erekat, said Israel’s nation state law destroys the two state solution. He’s wrong, because you can’t destroy something that never even existed anyway. The two state solution is not dead, because it was never alive in the first place. For too long, the whole conflict between …
There’s a cloud that hangs over the Jewish world. It’s not the cloud of ever increasing anti-Semitism found throughout the world. It’s not the cloud of terrorism our Arab neighbours insist on continuing to pursue. It’s not the cloud of those international bodies in their desperate attempts to deny our …
I take no joy in writing what I’m about to write. I take no pleasure in saying what I’m about to say. I take no satisfaction, no pride and no honour either, and yet I feel I have to say it anyway. Because today I read a story that will disgust you …
Our greatest victory will always be that despite the disaster that befell us, we rose again.
