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...

A new online newspaper launched by David Horovitz (former Editor in Chief of The Jerusalem Post, not David Horowitz of FrontPage Mag), via Honest Reporting (h/t Anneipt). The Times of Israel represents a determined effort, by a team of skilled, committed journalists, to report Israel, the...

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...

From NBC News: Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.

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 ...

I'm beginning to like The Legal Insurrection Daily, which automatically pulls blog and news items based on my Twitter feed and those I follow on Twitter. The LI Daily pulls stories I sometimes have not noticed, like this one from the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs,...

I have featured the vile (I'm being restrained here) anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement before, including their attempts to disrupt businesses owned by Israelis or doing business with Israel.  The BDS movement is an iteration of the Islamist-Leftist Anti-Israel Coalition. IsraellyCool has come up with a...

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: Related:  Bibi sends Christmas Greetings Netanyahu at the U.N....

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: A foreign...

There seems to be a war brewing in the Middle East, if not on the battlefield at least in the political realm. The Wall Street Journal and many others report tension between the U.S. and Israel over a potential strike on Iran.  There also is tension over...

With war in Israel  just one shot or rocket or kidnapping away, it's always worth seeing the faces of the people who will fight it. The Jewish New Year was in September, so this is the IDF's New Year's greeting to you (via Sheya): ...

I posted previously about accusations that groups such as Media Matters and the Center for American Progress (which runs the Think Progress blog) routinely used questionable terminology (such as "Israel-Firsters") and were pushing an anti-Israel agenda under the guise of battling the "Israel Lobby." The story...

Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post has a post today in which she contrasts Mitt Romney's non-pandering to the Jewish community with Newt Gingrich's supposed pandering. She highlights Jonathan Pollard, an American convicted of spying for Israel, and whether he should be granted clemency.  She quotes...

As part of his campaign to paint Newt Gingrich as crazy, Mitt Romney has focused on Newt's statement that the Palestinians were an "invented" people.  Romney argued at the Drake University debate Saturday night that Newt had used "incendiary words" which would "create extraordinary tumult" and said "I'm not a...
