BY DAVID SOLWAY, FRONTPAGEMAG— Once again, Israel is confronted by a major threat to its existence, namely, the so-called Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) scheduled for March 30th. It is organized by the usual suspects—the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the swelling tribe of Ayatollah lovers, the devil’s spawn of radical Leftists—whose intention is to mobilize a…
BY SHELLEY NEESE– A central tenet in the faith life of any observant Jew is prayer. In synagogue, Jews join formal prayer services three times a day, every day. In addition to that they have dozens of spontaneous prayers for everything from washing hands to throwing out bread. The Siddur is the Jewish prayer book…

Hayden served as the head of the NSA and the CIA under Bush 43. He now advises Mitt Romney. In his oped, Hayden backs Obama’s policy…
BY REUTERS— Israel on Tuesday played down the prospect of an imminent attack on Iran, saying its arch-foe’s controversial nuclear program could still be set back by sanctions and sabotage. Six world powers are expected to renew efforts next month to talk Tehran into curbing its uranium enrichment, which can yield fuel for atomic warheads…
StandWithUs is urging schools, campuses, synagogues, community organizations, and individuals to celebrate Israel by designating March 30 as the day to buy up Israeli goods at local stores. The date was chosen because the anti-Israel boycott campaign has planned a global boycott of Israeli products for the same day (March 30). Protestors will stand outside…
