Over the past decade, the Israeli government cultivated and nurtured cordial bilateral relations with Russia and China, two authoritarian states that have been at odds with the United States and the West in recent years, and that were hostile to Israel prior to the 1990s. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was the preeminent proponent […]
Good riddance to Craig Mokhiber! And shame on Cori Bush! These two craven individuals have revealed themselves as contemptible Hamas apologists. Mokhiber, the New York director of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, resigned on October 31 in protest over the current Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. In his […]
It is virtually axiomatic. Whenever Israel is engulfed in a major conflict with the Palestinians and a significant number of them are killed, there is invariably an upsurge of antisemitism outside the region. To cite but two examples, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising in the West […]
Israel’s reconciliation process with Turkey has taken an enormous hit as the war in the Gaza Strip escalates. In the last few days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described Hamas as a “liberation organization,” accused Israel of being a “war criminal” state, and cancelled his forthcoming visit to Jerusalem. In harshly condemning Israel for […]
Three weeks after Hamas terrorists murdered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel in the most audacious and devastating terrorist attack since Israel’s statehood, the Israeli armed forces have finally stormed into the Gaza Strip. On November 27, Israeli armored columns, supported by air cover, plunged into northern and southern Gaza. The Israeli government has […]
The current humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip can be primarily pinned on Hamas, the rejectionist Palestinian organization whose bands of amoral terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7. In ferociously responding to this massacre, the worst single attack on Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s darkest day since statehood […]
While the Gaza Strip trembles to the sounds of loud explosions, the West Bank smoulders with pent-up emotions of resentment and hatred. Gaza is being reduced to rubble by Israeli air and artillery strikes in retaliation for the murderous onslaught by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel on October 7. As Israel ramps up its daily […]
Twenty days into Israel’s border war with Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu still has not accepted unequivocal responsibility for the appalling Israeli breakdowns that enabled hordes of blood- thirsty terrorists to slaughter 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in the greatest single massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Until yesterday, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister remained conspicuously and unacceptably silent […]
Guy Nattiv’s absorbing feature film, Golda, unfolds during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, but the issues that define it are related to Israel’s current conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government was surprised by the coordinated offensives launched by Egypt and Syria in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights on October […]
The big unanswered question looming on the horizon following Hamas’ cold-blooded slaughter of 1,400 Israelis and foreigners in southern Israel on October 7 is deafeningly obvious. When will the Israeli armed forces invade the Gaza Strip in an attempt to crush Hamas? If Israel should launch a ground invasion, its objectives would be crystal clear: […]
