By Amy Zewe—- When it is applied to our colleges and universities. All us–Jews, Christians and others–must apply critical thinking to the curriculums and lectures and speeches that professors, administrators and campus activists are espousing.

By Yoav Limor, Israel Hayom— The Israeli public isn’t aware of even a fraction of the ongoing counterterror activity in Judea and Samaria.

Dershowitz, Gatestone Institute— Just when Congress overwhelmingly defeated an effort by eight radical Democrats and one Republican to defund Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, several “mainstream” Democrats proposed legislation that is equally dangerous and filled with half-truths, omissions and outright fabrications.
