DetailsBY DR. MANFRED GERSTENFELD, ARUTZ 7— In the past few years, foreign interest in the widespread anti-Israelism among the Norwegian elite and the corresponding anti-Semitism in Norwegian society have increased.

DetailsBY FRANK GAFFNEY— The Obama administration chose the eve of the holiday marking our Nation’s birth to acknowledge publicly behavior in which it has long been stealthily engaged to the United States’ extreme detriment: Its officials now admit that they are embracing the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan in Arabic). That would be the same…

DetailsBY VICTOR SHARPE, ARUTZ SHEVA— Sometime towards the end of 2011 or early in 2012 a new British made film may be released called The Promised Land.

DetailsThink on this! “I will bring my people Israel back from exile. They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I…
