Description: There are 345 conflicts ongoing in the world today, but one gets more attention than all the others. Vilified: Telling Lies About Israel is a hard-hitting short film from AJC exposing the lies and libels to which Israel has been subjected, particularly during the recent conflict with Ha...

Barely a few paces from the Egyptian border stands a large white tent, fashioned from plastic sheeting and pockmarked with jagged shrapnel holes. Inside, as in the hundreds of identical tents dotted to the left and right, is a scene of energy and illicit industriousness: a dozen Palestinian smuggler...

Will Israel become a “country of fear or a country of hope,” as Tzipi Livni, a candidate for Israeli prime minister and the current foreign minister, recently asked? This week’s Mosaic Intelligence Report serves up an analysis of the coming election. (Hint: It doesn’t look go...

The first thing I notice is the nails. I'm in the campaign office of Yisrael Beiteinu, the ultranationalist party of Avigdor Lieberman, in the Mediterranean city of Ashdod.

In the past, thousands would gather for elaborate rallies with singing male bands, abseiling commandos and bombastic speeches. This time the mood was different. Rather than risk one poorly attended cen...

See if you can follow this logic, because it’s pretty much escaping me. A town in Sweden has decided to cancel its Holocaust remembrance procession because of the Gaza war. A northern Swedish city has decided to cancel a planned Holocaust Memorial Day torchlight procession due to the recent ID...

If you can find a shred of hard evidence in this supposed news report, I will print out this post and eat it. There is evidence that Israel committed war crimes during its 22-day campaign in the Gaza Strip and there should be an independent inquiry, UN investigator Richard Falk said on Thursday. The...

Three weeks after the launch of Israel's offensive against the Gaza Strip, its unilateral ceasefire marks a new stage in the conflict rather than the end of a shocking story that has reverberated across the Middle East and the world. Ehud Olmert's declaration that Israel had attained its military go...
