I am really liking The Times of Israel, the new online publication I posted about a week ago. This story is one of the reasons, Onward Christian Soldiers: Think North American campus activism for Israel and chances are you won’t think of a Hispanic Catholic organizing pro-Israel...

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...

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...

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...
