BY PAUL WILKINSON, JPOST— “The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ‘Have you not observed that these people are saying, “The Lord has rejected the two clans that He chose”? Thus they have despised My people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight’” (Jeremiah 33:23-24). One man who has consistently…
BY MICHAEL FREUND, JPOST— With the world riveted by protests in Syria and the uprising in Libya, everyone seems to have forgotten the most important issue: Iran’s breathless pursuit of nuclear weapons. But the dearth of attention in no way reflects a lessening of the threat, as the ayatollahs march steadily closer to developing an…
BY AARON HECHT, JPOST— The “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become almost universally accepted as the only way to bring the prolonged struggle between Israel and its Arab neighbors to an end. Those who hold this view – in Europe, the US and even in Israel – dismiss anyone who disagrees with it…
BY ELAD BENARI, ARUTZ7— As the planned Freedom Flotilla 2 continues to fizzle, Israel is preparing for another provocation, this time in the form of a planned ‘fly in’ to Ben Gurion Airport by pro-Arab activists. The planned aerial demonstration was first reported by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) last month. ITIC had…
BY 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.

BY DICK MORRIS— If the election were held today, President Obama would get only 56 percent of the Jewish vote against a generic Republican candidate, down from the 78 percent he won in 2008 and less than the 74 percent John Kerry received in 2004. This is the key finding of a survey of 1,000…
BY GEORGE GILDER, WALL STREET JOURNAL— America’s enemies understand deeply and intuitively that no U.S. goals or resources in the Middle East are remotely as important as Israel. Why don’t we? Israel cruised through the recent global slump with scarcely a down quarter and no deficit or stimulus package. It is steadily increasing its global…
BY LAWRENCE SOLOMON— In the first 25 years after Israel’s founding in 1948, it was repeatedly attacked by the large armies of its Arab neighbours. Each time, Israel prevailed on the battlefield, only to have its victories rolled back by Western powers who feared losing access to Arab oilfields. The fear was and is legitimate…
BY 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…
BY JONATHAN SCHANZER, WALL STREET JOURNAL EUROPE— The Palestinian government doesn’t intend to declare statehood until September, but the ramifications of the move are already clear. Jordan’s King Abdullah predicts a “third intifada,” Israel is bracing for renewed violence and France has convened a conference to try to reach a compromise. Luckily, there may still…
