I have never met anyone who really gives a genuine damn about Palestinians unless it is linked with an umbilical cord to hatred of Israel. The two are so welded together that you have to think what came first – the Palestinian chicken or the Israeli egg. Those that adopt …
On December 11, 1917, General Edmund Allenby’s forces officially liberated Jerusalem. Actually, a Jerusalem delegation, led by the mayor, surrendered the city to a pair of British army cooks on December 8. Thus began a comical farce of who received the surrender of the Holy City. The Turkish army and …
Can you really stomach the idea that your sons, nephews, male students, male cousins – will be legally disadvantaged, and receive no support if they are victims – just because they are boys?
Netiv Ha’avot. You’ve probably never heard of it, and yet you know its story well, because it’s a story that is engraved in the Jewish consciousness and the Jewish soul and has been for thousands of years. Netiv Ha’avot is a place in the Judean hills that has been in …
The position of many world leaders, and much of the international diplomatic community, to the Israeli-Palestinian problem is that everything can be solved with a Two-State solution based on 1967 borders.
