Mandy will have an update on #OpIsrael either later tonight or in the morning.

My suspicion is that we have another historic Palestinian victory inflicting severe injury on the Zionist entity, just like all their other victories.

One of the victories attempted by the hackers was to take down the Yad Vashem Museum website. They failed.

We have written numerous times about the depraved “pinkwashing” narrative, that Israel must be condemned by gay rights activists for publicizing the fact that it is the only country in the Middle East where gays are not persecuted.

That simple truth is too much for the anti-Israeli activists to bear because it...

You may recall Professor Eugene Kontorovich’s presentation, The Legal Case for Israel, in which he pointed out that the West Bank legally belonged to Israel and was illegally occupied by Jordan prior to 1967.
