BY MICHAEL FREUND, JPOST— Amounting crisis of gastronomic proportions was averted this past week when Israel and hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners agreed to a deal that was brokered by Egypt, ending the stand-off between the two sides. After more than a month of missed meals, skipped snacks and disregarded desserts, the jailed terrorists have at last…
By RYAN JONES, ISRAEL TODAY— US Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has come under a lot of fire for saying that the “Palestinians” are an invented people. Most have ridiculed Gingrich by pointing out there are clearly millions of Arabs living in so-called “Palestine.” But Gingrich wasn’t talking about the physical presence of those people…
BY CAMERA ALERT — The Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ), scheduled for March 30, 2012, is an anti-Israel publicity stunt that aims to have a million people marching on Israel’s borders from all the surrounding countries — Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt — with the goal of reaching Jerusalem. Concurrently, demonstrations are planned in the Palestinian-administered…
BY INNA ROGATCHI, THE ROGATCHI FOUNDATION— To have the nerve to compare publicly the Toulouse massacre with Gaza, means to have no brain, no heart, no sense of reality, not even elementary knowledge, and no skills to run any office at all. Catherine Ashton has no moral or professional right to lead the foreign policy…
BY RON JAGER— Future historians will be baffled as to why we the Israeli public have become so accepting of such a manifestly disastrous policy of deterrence against the terror organizations operating in Gaza, who fire their rockets at will on Southern Israel turning the save haven of our homes into self-imposed protective prisons.

BY SAMARA GREENBERG, inCONTEXT— Israel’s south found some respite from rocket fire this week after four days of unrelenting attacks from Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

BY MICHAEL FREUND— Yesterday, more than 265,000 children across southern Israel returned to school after enduring several days of Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza. However unappealing the tedium of the classroom may be for many of them, most are nonetheless surely happy that the risk of attack has dissipated, at least for now. Indeed, scenes…
BY JONATHAN SCHANZER, FOREIGN POLICY— Israeli jets pounded the Gaza Strip on March 12 in the latest volley of fire since violence broke out late last week. But they were not fighting Hamas, Israel’s traditional bête noire in Gaza. Though radical factions have now fired more than 200 rockets into Israel, the self-described Islamic Resistance…
BY VICTOR SHARPE, RENEW AMERICA— The silence in the mainstream media was deafening. Silence about what? Well simply put. The Palestinians launched a massive missile barrage against southern Israeli cities, towns and villages. These communities endured for several days a barrage from the Gaza Strip of well over 200 lethal missiles aimed deliberately by Palestinian…
BY RICK MORAN, FRONTPAGEMAG— Palestinian terrorists fired more than 160 rockets at dozens of civilian targets from Friday through Sunday, injuring three Israeli citizens and causing extensive damage. The escalated rocket attacks were in apparent retaliation for an Israeli strike against one of the major commanders of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), which was planning…
