Never change:For not just one alone has risen against us to destroy us, but in every generation they rise against us to destroy us; and the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from their hand!--------------------------------------------Follow me on Twitter and Facebook...

The United States has a hard time getting a sanctions resolution against Iran through the U.N. Security Council because Iran has two protectors (Russian and China) among the five permanent members with veto power.Israel has only one reliable veto-wielding friend on the Security Council, the...

Barack Obama's insistence that Israel cease all building in Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, calling such neighborhoods "settlements," raises an interesting question. Who are the settlers in Jerusalem? A good example of the lack of clarity over Palestinian claims to Jerusalem is found in prominent Palestinian-American...

Let me guess, this is all Israel's fault in the new "balanced" approach to the Middle East. From the Times of London:SAUDI ARABIA is pouring hundreds of millions of pounds into Islamist groups in the Balkans, some of which spread hatred of the West...

The reaction to Obama's treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ("Bibi") Netanyahu was as strong if not stronger than I have seen in the comments here and elsewhere in the blogosphere on any other issue. (I didn't let through a number of over-the-top comments.)Why this...

Here is how Hamas has responded to Obama's peace initiative (i.e., humiliation of Netanyahu and contrived crisis):A Hamas cross-border attack on Israeli forces outside Kissufim Friday, March 26, killed an officer, Maj. Eliraz Peretz, Dep. Commander of Golani Battalion 12, 31, from Eli and 1st...

From Nile Gardiner at The Telegraph (h/t Gateway Pundit via Instapundit), on the destructive Obama foreign policy:I wrote recently about Barack Obama’s sneering contempt for both Israel and Great Britain. Further confirmation of this was provided today with new details emerging regarding the President’s appalling...

In late October 2008, shortly before the election, I wrote an article for American Thinker titled It's 3 a.m. and the Prime Minister of Israel is Calling.The title of my article was a play on Hillary Clinton's 3 a.m. campaign ad, which suggested that Obama...

Jackson Diehl in The Washington Post: Netanyahu is being treated as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator,needed for strategic reasons but conspicuously held at arms length.Wrong. Unsavory Third World dictators are not treated this poorly by Obama:--------------------------------------------Related Posts:Israel Is The New HondurasObama Throws...

I told you this was coming. Increasingly, those who think Israel is to blame for the lack of peace in the Middle East, and who view pushing Israel back to barely defensible borders as the answer, have been pushing hard the meme that Israel is...

Can't say I didn't warn you. The pressure tactics the Obama administration applied to Honduras -- such as the refusal to meet with high government officials -- now are being applied to Israel:[I]n Jerusalem, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu called his inner cabinet into its second...

The Obama administration has sent a signal to Palestinians of a new "get tough" U.S. attitude towards Israel. As I wrote yesterday, the Obama administration is using the fact that an Israeli municipality announced building permits for Jews in a Jewish neighborhood of East Jerusalem...

Israel made a mistake in announcing an East Jerusalem building permit at the same time Joe Biden was visiting.The building permit really is a non-issue since everyone knows the Ramat Shlomo section of Jerusalem never is going to be given to the Palestinians, but the...

Also known as Israel Apartheid Week, scheduled for March 1-14 (what don't these malicious idiots understand about "week"?).This is the time of the year when the internationalists, selectively outraged NGO "human rights" activists, Islamists, progressive journalists, leftist academics, self-hating Jews, and Palestinian terror apologists come...

It is widely assumed that Mossad assassinated what's his name, the Hamas killer rocket guy who wants to drive the Jews into the Dead Sea.While some governments are expressing shock, shock, shock that an intelligence agency would forge passports, Mossad mania has taken over Israel,...

Malmö is the third largest Swedish city, and now the poster child for what I call Malmö Syndrome, the anti-Semitic violence which results from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists.The result is that Malmö is being depopulated of Jews as a result of...

Someone at the Israeli Embassy in Britain has a wicked sense of humor.The Embassy sent the following tweet, which has caused the anti-Israel paper, The Guardian, to go somewhat crazy.The tweet seemingly refers to the hit on a Hamas leader in Dubai, carried out allegedly...

The Dubai police have released what purport to be tapes of an 11-person strong hit team which killed top Hamas arms coordinator and killer of two Israeli soldiers, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The working assumption is that this was an Israeli operation.The tapes coordinate closed circuit shots...
