By ASHER ZEIGER, TIMES OF ISRAEL— Most Israeli Jews would oppose a peace agreement with the Palestinians if it included a full West Bank pullout with land swaps to let Israel retain major settlement population centers, according to a new poll that appears to contradict the conclusions of other recent surveys.

DetailsBy EARL COX, ISRAEL ALWAYS— President Obama stated, while speaking in Cairo on June 4, 2009, “The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.” Since then he has made this same statement on numerous occasions. This is totally inaccurate. In truth, America is being lulled into a deep sleep as…
DetailsBy SHOULA ROMANO HORING, YNET— It is disgraceful that the United States, Israel’s best ally and friend, has never recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital even though it recognizes the claimed capitals of numerous brutal dictatorships and enemy nations. It is also shameful that the Europeans still call the eastern part of Jerusalem a “settlement” and…
DetailsBy CAROLINE GLICK, JPOST—- Standing next to US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday morning, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni gushed that through his indefatigable efforts to bring Israeli and Palestinian officials to Washington, Kerry proved that “nothing can stop true believers.” As usual, the cognitively-challenged Livni told us something she hadn’t intended to say.…

DetailsBy WARREN MANISON, UCI— The proposed Two State solution to the Israel/Palestinian impasse is an impossibility. Separate states for Jews and Palestinian Arabs, living side by side in peace in the Holy Land, have been proposed and rejected by Arabs in recent history. When one fails to learn from history, one is doomed to repeat…
DetailsBy BRUCE BAWER, FRONTPAGEMAG— “The study of antisemitism,” admits Bruno Chaouat, a professor of French in Minnesota, “can be tedious.” This admirably candid confession appears relatively early in the pages of Resurgent Antisemitism: Global Perspectives, a collection of nineteen new essays edited by Alvin H.

The fierce debate often forces the Knesset speaker to intervene and even discipline MKs who are deemed too disruptive. So PM Netanyahu must have been quite pleased at requiring the speaker to call the legislature to order for a…

For years already, unofficial restrictions bar Jews and Christians from praying atop the Temple Mount or carrying a Bible to…
DetailsBy DEREK LEMAN, MESSIANIC JEWISH MUSINGS— Isaiah is a collection of prophecies with much positive to say about Gentiles. In all three of its parts (chs. 1-39, 40-55, 56-66) we find three topical themes with a hopeful message about the role of non-Jews in God’s plan to redeem Israel and the world: future hope specifically…
