My thoughts on politics.
NPR reporter Daniel Estrin, writing just after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, claims that Vladimir Putin is “beloved” by Israel: “Putin remains a beloved ally. His military is stationed in Syria, and he gives Israel the freedom to bomb Iranian and Syrian weapons and soldiers there.” The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and …
Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan has defended the museum’s decision to remove from display a photograph of the 1941 between Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini and Adolf Hitler. Dayan claims that including the photograph is “tantamount to partaking in the debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” While some experts say that the mufti was …
By now, we all know about the Amnesty International report that is full of lies and calls Israel an “Apartheid” state. What a lot of us want to know is why Israel? Why not anywhere else in the world that is actually guilty of human rights abuses? In Tubas (northeast of Nablus), Palestinian security officers …

Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces, called to eliminate the Jewish state during a Saturday interview with an Iranian state-controlled media outlet. “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter. We want to destroy Zionism in the world,” said Shekarchi to the Iranian Students …
On Sunday, an Arab terrorist went on a shooting spree at the Western Wall, murdering one and wounding three people. The good news is that the terrorist was neutralized by security forces. “Neutralized” is Israel speak for stone cold dead. The Jew he murdered was a soldier, entrusted with protecting worshippers. If you’ve ever watched …
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is the subject of controversy in the Jewish community, for its decision to ban sales of the frozen treat in Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria. Some states are divesting funds from Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, while several grocery stores have stopped stocking …
A press release issued by the Palestinian Legislative Council declares that Jews have no legal, historic, religious, or cultural claim to Israel, including in Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria.
