There are few things so vile as the various “Israel Apartheid Week” activities that have taken place the last few years, an attempt by the coalition of Islamists and Leftists to delegitimize Israel, and everything about Israel.

Look at the speaker list of almost any of the activities, and it’s like a...

As readers know, I’ve been critical of the Reform Jewish movement, and the seemingly obsessive support of Democrats and Obama, with the most left elements aligning themselves with groups hostile to Israel under the guise of “balance.”

Yet the threats facing Israel now are so great that AIPAC, the group which advocates for...

Obama has a Jewish problem because of his administration’s Israel policy.  I don’t think the Jewish problem is a great as some recent polling suggests, but there does seem to be movement.

From the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Israeli forces in Egypt and throughout the Middle East, to the unrelenting Iranian...

One of my big regrets is not making more of a connection with Alan Dershowitz while in law school.

I didn’t take any of his classes, but I did have some interaction with him since he was the faculty advisor to the Jewish Law Students Association.  We called him “The Dersh.”

Israel Matzav and  JWeekly have good write-ups of the anti-Israel derangement at the University of Pennsylvania, which hosted a Boycott Divest Sanction conference.  Not Boycott Divest Sanction Syria, or Saudi Arabia, or Iran … just Israel.

We have featured these anti-Semitic — yes that’s what they are by their actions — before, but they are far...

No, not the video I posted of Nancy Reagan.

It was, according to Israel Matzav, a video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wishing China a Happy New Year, receiving 40 million views not including people who viewed it on Chinese television:

We are approaching the 4th Anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah terror mastermind Imad Mughniyeh in Syria, presumably by the Israelis although there has never been any public proof.

Hezbollah has sought revenge, so far without success.  A major attack was just thwarted in Thailand:
