The mainstream media is filled with talking heads telling the world how awful Trump is to move the US embassy to Jerusalem while people in Gaza are dying. The fact is, the people in Gaza are dying because they are attempting to kill Israelis. And since Israelis are not willing to hold still as the …

Trump Calls Off the Wedding to Iran
Well, it happened. Trump bowed out of the JCPOA, and judging from my Google news feed, the world is furious. Page after page of headlines describing the move as a disaster, a type of war-mongering, and worse. One would think that at least the Israelis were happy, but not if you take your news from …
Mogherini Tries to Drown Out Netanyahu’s Truth
Prime Minister Netanyahu dropped a bomb when he shared a treasure trove of proof that Iran is still working on producing its own bombs, presumably to be used against Israel and perhaps, the world. Naturally, Europe scrambled to deny the truth of what Netanyahu exposed. Because they stand to lose out big time on their …
City of Durham Turns Against U.S. Ally
Durham, North Carolina just banned all cooperation and training between its police force and the IDF. The city council adopted the ban with a unanimous 6-0 vote. The vote was initiated by anti-Israel groups such as the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). The petition had close to 1,400 signatures. The petition claims that the IDF …
John Bolton: A Strong Choice
So this just happened: US President Donald Trump appointed John Bolton as his national security adviser, a replacement for Lt.-Gen. H.R. McMaster. If you’re on the right side of the political spectrum, you’re thrilled. On the left? You’re outa luck, and making dire predictions of war. Whether you’re to the right or left of things, …
Tillerson Out, Pompeo In
Tillerson got the boot, which seems to be because his views run contrary to Trump’s (aside from calling his boss a “moron”). Trump wants to be done with that horrid Iran deal and Tillerson is not on board with that. Tillerson is also not on board with the idea of blaming the Arabs for the …
Netanyahu Speaks Truth to Power
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in the United States for the AIPAC convention, stopped by to visit the Jerusalem exhibit currently on display at the UN. While there, Netanyahu made the most awesome statement, calling out the UN for its lies and hypocrisy. “There is a long history that is being cherished by us and …
Taylor Force Act: Not a Partisan Issue
Taylor Force was stabbed to death during a visit to Israel—killed by a terrorist who thought the business student and former serviceman was a Jew. The Senate is currently examining the Taylor Force Act, which would put an end to U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) until such time as they shut down the …
Get it Straight: An Iranian Drone Violated Israel’s Airspace
You’d never know it from reading the news, but when Israel carried out extensive airstrikes in Syria, it wasn’t just reacting to the fact that one of its F-16 fighter jets was brought down. It was reacting to the fact that an Iranian drone, coming out of Syria, violated Israel’s sovereignty by illegally entering Israeli …
Pence Speech Boycotted by Arab MKs
Vice President Mike Pence is in Israel, but Arab members of Knesset are going to boycott Pence’s speech to the Israeli parliament. Why? Because the Trump administration has recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Why this should be big news is beyond understanding. Is there any other sovereign nation that is not allowed to choose its …
