My thoughts on politics.
Iran celebrated on Sunday the 39th anniversary of its takeover of the U.S. embassy. This was a terrible thing that happened in 1979, during which 52 Americans were taken hostage and held for 444 days. It was the perfect day for America to restore the sanctions against Iran that had been lifted since the implementation …
In the wake of the horrific tragedy in a Pittsburgh Conservative synagogue, an antisemitic bloodbath in which 11 people were murdered, many of us are thinking about how best to protect ourselves in our homes of worship. But there’s the legal issue, with gun control such a hot issue, and there’s the Halachic issue, what …
Farrakhan lost his blue verification mark on Twitter for calling Jews “termites.” I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite. pic.twitter.com/L5dPQcnVg4 — MINISTER FARRAKHAN (@LouisFarrakhan) October 16, 2018 But Jewish organizations are screaming for Twitter to take the tweet down and to take down his Twitter account altogether. Chelsea Clinton said that hearing the “responsive laughter” made …
After the U.S. decided to cut UNRWA funding by $300 million, Canada stepped up its funding to the agency to the tune of $50 million (probably Canadian dollars).

Aida Touma-Sliman, an Arab Member of Knesset (MK) with the Joint List, blamed Ari Fuld’s death on the settler presence in Judea and Samaria. In other words, she blamed the victim. This was in response to a comment made by Likud MK Sharren Haskel at a session of the Knesset Committee for the Advancement of …
UNRWA, the bloated organization that teaches young Arab children to hate Israel and perpetuates the Arab refugee crisis is now under siege by Gazan Arabs upset by budget cuts. This is after President Trump decided to cut funding to the organization, in light of revelations by the State Department regarding the actual number of refugees …
What passes for discourse these days is pretty sad. A woman interrupted a hearing, shouting at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. When she refused to quiet down, Representative Billy Long, a famed former auctioneer decided to do an auctioneer’s spiel to drown her out until she could be escorted out of the room. It was some …
Just when you think Kerry and his Israel-hating ways are gone for good, back he comes with another salvo against the Jewish State. This time Kerry says that Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, sabotaged the Obama Administration’s efforts at a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-ruled Gaza in 2014. Kerry put all this and …
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, a friend to Israel, is out. Scott Morrison is in. Morrison is also known to be pro-Israel. Morrison was loyal to Tony Abbott, who was PM before Turnbull, and who had made noise about moving the Australian embassy to Jerusalem. But while Scott Morrison may be good for the Jews, Josh …
The news about Corbyn’s associates gets worse every day. We’re constantly treated to new revelations, all of them gut-twisting in nature. The man just loves terrorists, apparently. The latest revelation has Corbyn attending a conference in Qatar, where he hosted a panel discussion attended by several senior members of terror organization Hamas. Attendees included Husam …
