Why would the PLO and other Arab haters-of-Israel object to having the Cave of Machpelah put on a list of places Israel seeks to renovate? Surely, even from their perspective, such activities will benefit them as well. In fact the Israeli government has already spent much time and money to make Machpelah a place where [...]
In the 1930s, a Jew by the name of Ze’ev Jabotinski traveled throughout Europe warning his fellow Jews that they were sitting atop a volcano that was about to erupt. He begged them to get up and leave the Exile while they still could and come home to "Palestine" (which in those days was a [...]
Chanukah is a joyous Jewish holiday. The Festival of Lights was meant to remind us of the miracles performed for our ancestors when our Jewish way of life was seriously threatened from both foreign enemies and Jewish traitors. Unfortunately too many of our leaders, while celebrating this holiday with joy and pride, fail to recognize [...]
The Jewish People exists to defy logic. Our very existence flies in the face of logic. Clearly we should have disappeared thousands of years ago. The most powerful nations in every generation sought our destruction, yet they have all disappeared and the tiny Jewish nation is still around.
Our return to our ancient homeland cannot be [...]
Netanyahu, the heir to Jabotinzky and Begin, has recently demonstrated his strong Zionist stance by freezing building in Judea and Samaria. Now he has linguistic experts coining new terminology to make the word “freezing” sound less cold. “Moritorium” and “suspension” have been suggested.

As always when I make these visits to the USA I find myself wondering why I am doing this. It seems absurd and futile to even hope to influence Jews to leave the comfortable American Exile to come home to our only homeland. In addition I find myself fulfilling the Jewish role to bring knowledge [...]
AIPAC, the alleged lobby for Israeli interests, has decided to mount a vigorous campaign to urge Congressmen to pressure President Obama to pursue the so called “two state solution” (as if he needs to be pressured). While AIPAC may have noble intentions and hope to find a way to soften the growing tensions between the [...]
“Let me say very clearly that the way the European Union will relate to an [Israeli] government that is not committed to a two-state solution will be very, very different,” said Javier Solana, the EU’s foreign and security affairs chief. This statement is very similar to one expressed by Secretary of State Clinton on her [...]
Notwithstanding the sincere desire of American politicians to achieve a genuine peace in the Middle East and notwithstanding the special relationship between Israel and the United States, there should be certain red lines which no Israeli politician dare cross. For an American Secretary of State to come to Israel and declare the inevitability of eventually [...]
