The Israeli delegation has just returned from the Philippines after nearly two weeks of providing emergency care to the island nation’s survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. According to the Jerusalem Post the first baby delivered by the Israeli medical teams was named “Israel.”
In fact Israel – the IDF particularly – has been...
It’s hard being a principled member of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement.
With Israel being a leader in computer, medical and other technologies, one would have to enter a time machine back to the 1950s to truly boycott Israeli products.
The Cornell Students For Justice In Palestine is a typical anti-Israel...
I don’t think it’s overstatement to say that Obama successfully has isolated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by bringing the major world powers plus Germany into an Iran nuclear agreement publicly opposed by Netanyahu (and quietly by many Arab countries).
The perennial thorn in Obama’s Mideast side stands almost alone in publicly...
The nuclear agreement with Iran is being touted by the Obama administration as a significant step in keeping Iran from moving towards nuclear weapons.
In reality, the agreement is confirmation of Iran’s uranium enrichment program at a relatively high level, although some of the highest level enrichment is supposed to be suspended....
We have written so many times about the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement.
The BDS movement is particularly strong on campuses in part because of the support from anti-Israel faculty and outside groups that target campuses:
On Wednesday, The Israel Project hosted a conference call with Dr. Emily Landau of Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies.
Dr. Landau is a non-proliferation expert and spoke about the problems with the agreement apparently being negotiated between the P5+1 (United States, China, France, Great Britain, Russia and Germany) and Iran.
Landau focused...
The featured image of Thomas Friedman above comes from a talk he gave about many of the marvels of modern technology. At the beginning he says that you have “every bit of knowledge available to you” from Google. It’s a bit of an overstatement, but his point is essentially correct.
One particular...
Almost exactly one year ago reports surfaced that Valerie Jarrett was engaged in “secret” negotiations with Iran as Obama’s personal emissary.
The reports originated with Iranian bloggers, and was reported also by The New York Times. The Obama administration categorically denied the reports.
Now Israeli television is reporting similar involvement, via the Times...
Not sure I agree with the linkage of Obama’s broken promise that you can keep your insurance plan and his promise that Iran will not get nukes.
One he knew was false at the time he made the promise, the other was, um, … oh, never mind.
Via The Times of Israel:
The Emergency...
From Yair Rosenberg at The Tablet (via U.N. Watch) :
Yesterday was “bash Israel” day at the United Nations–which is to say, Thursday. The U.N. General Assembly, which last year passed 22 resolutions condemning Israel and only four against other individual countries, approved nine such resolutions lambasting the Jewish state. Naturally, it had...
Let’s review some of the administration’s diplomatic activity over the past week.
Haaretz reports that the administration misled Israel regarding the terms of the proposed interim agreement with Iran over its nuclear weapons program. One senior Israeli official explained that on Wednesday Israel had seen an outline that the Israelis “didn’t...
I received the call in the late afternoon, “do you want to go to BDS 101 at The University of Washington tonight?”
BDS stands for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction of Israel and represents a radical movement bent on the destruction of the Jewish State. The D in BDS should stand for...
NGO Monitor keeps watch on anti-Israeli non-governmental organizations, and provides valuable research contesting many of the outlandish claims made by these mostly left-wing groups financed by European governments.
The NGOs, some of which are staffed by...
With a fevered and frantic breathless pace, Obama via John Kerry has been pushing to sign a sell-out deal with Iran that would ease sanctions without shutting down Iran’s nuke program.
Benjamin Netanyahu was furious when he found out that ...
The New York Times reports Swiss Report Supports Theory Arafat Was Poisoned. Now, of course, the New York Times isn’t the only news outlet to be reporting this. But is it news?
When someone makes an incredible claim, it is the job of the news media to investigate it and challenge it...
We are on the cusp of the most historic sell-out of Israel by any United States administration.
We told you all along that in his second term Obama would impose a settlement on Israel according to what he viewed as reasonable:
Obama will force his vision of a settlement on Israel in a...
John Kerry’s public warning to Israel that it will face a 3rd Intifada and international delegitimization unless it relinquishes “illegitimate” settlements and a final peace deal does not leave a single Israeli solder in the West Bank, was a clear threat.
The threat took place in an interview with Israeli and Palestinian television, as...
