Let me clear. I am no fan of Salaam Fayad. He’s made statements like this: “What is the essence of resistance, especially in light of the current occupation?” Fayad asked. “Does it not begin with all possible efforts to strengthen the permanence of the Palestinian citizens on...

One of the disturbing aspects of the Chas Freeman appointment is how it has exposed the true agenda of Israel’s critics. Outside of Israel, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of this appointment. And yet the anti-Israel Left applauds it. I hardly think that these people have any sympa...

In order to show that it is even-handed in its approach to the Middle East, the United States must show that Israel is in violation of its commitments as the Palestinians. The Washington Post reports that yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dutifully played her role. Secretary of State Hil...

The worldwide festival of hypocrisy over the Israeli election is utterly flabbergasting. The same Arab nations that keep calling on Israel to deal with terrorists like Hamas and Hezbullah are now insisting that a Likud government will lead the Middle East into nothing but trouble and war. The Palest...

The AP anti-Israel slant is now an anti-Likud slant. Get a load of these quotes from the AP: Israel’s election has suddenly become too close to call, though hard-liners are expected to have a clear edge in the horse trading that is sure to follow Tuesday’s vote. The fractious coalition g...

There are some interesting facts in this excellent column in the Jerusalem Post, which calls for the end of the West’s proxy war against Israel. The author calls UNRWA’s support of the Palestinians the problem: THE CURRENT situation can only get worse. Israel is being pushed into a corne...

So, killing isn’t wrong when Turks do it (but they didn’t kill the Armenians, and don’t even start in on them about that), but boy, is it wrong when Jews do it. And when Jews defend their actions, well, it causes the Islamist Prime Minister of Turkey to stalk out of the Davos panel...

The world’s double standard on Israel is in sharp relief today. The Red Cross reports that hundreds of civilians have been killed and wounded, and over 250,000 civilians are trapped in the fighting. Aid workers have been hurt as well. An estimated 250,000 people are trapped in a 250 square-kil...

Thomas Friedman’s “This is not a test,” is a fraudulent exercise in moral equivalence. After making fun of the regular calls for peace in the Middle East over the past two decades or more, claiming that it is absolutely urgent, Thomas Friedman tells us that peace in the Middle East...
