If the President errs in his understanding of the situation, we could all – Canada, the US and the entire free world, including Israel – suffer unspeakable horrors.

During the Six Day War, it... Read more »

The festival of Purim celebrates a series of remarkable events over 2500 years ago when the exiled Jewish people were delivered from annihilation. Today, the Jewish State delivers astonishing life-enhancing treatments, products, services and technologies to far-flung regions of the world. Israel has recently been reaching out far and wide to tackle some of the... Read more »

It has been growing since the turn of the century, but now anti-Semitism has become so overt that you would have to be in total denial to not notice it. In fact, more than the young Muslims’ (commendable) “ring of peace” gesture reflects hope, it reveals the vulnerability of Jews in their own countries, and... Read more »

In this mutually assured delusion, Obama outsources US Middle East policy to Iran.

Gaza was originally part of the British Mandate of Palestine, even settled by Jews and Arabs.

I would like to think that in any situation, my highest, bravest self would guide me to do the right thing, no matter what. But that would be naive thinking.

Tuesday is around the corner. Just any other day? Or does it have a significance of epic proportions? Mere happenstance or Divine providence?

Grassroots groups planned a rally in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington. Dubbed #BibiSpeaks4Me, the rally takes place 9 a.m. on March 3.

With so many stories of children around the world being radicalized by Islamic extremists, here is a collection of contrasting education-related activities concerning the Jewish State.

We all know the expression, “Clothes make the man.”  Is this about creating an external reality via the perceptions of others? Or do the outer garments we wear affect us on an internal level, which then creates a external reality?

Radical Islam not ALLAH is the root of evil   This revised article is adapted from an Article by Dr. Azriel Carlebach which was published in the Israeli newspaper “Ma’ariv” on 7 October 1955.   Translated from Hebrew with Google translator, edited, modified substantially and completely re-written in English ————- “The source of the conflict...

Long-awaited winter rains, plus my recent trip to the Arava in southern Israel are the inspiration for this week’s blog. The Arava region in Israel’s Negev “desert” now produces 60% of Israel’s exports of food crops, right alongside massive fields of solar panels. It is a microcosm of Israel’s advanced agricultural technologies that combine with... Read more »

After ISIS made spectacular gains of large swathes of Iraq, dozens of reports of ISIS' savagery on local populations emerged.

Think about what enslaves you. What makes it hard for you to be generous or to let go? What would it take for you to shift from a feeling of lack to a feeling of abundance?

There is a deliciously cinematic quality to the entire speechgate drama. Prominent pro-Israeli lobby groups have attempted to frame the scene as something out of Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” movie: a noble, far sighted, embattled president vs. a rude, uncouth, divisive Israeli leader who is little more than a mouthpiece for a cabal of grim, narrow-minded,...

People wonder how Nazism could have swept Germany just 100 years ago. With ISIS we are seeing the same phenomena today.

If the Jewish people do not claim their home, they will leave it open to be claimed by others.

A far-sighted Arab-Jewish agreement was arrived at 95 years ago but was never fully implemented. This still-legal agreement provides the basis for a solution today and should become widely publicized and supported. In 1919, following the end of World War I, an international Paris Peace Conference was convened by the victorious Allies to settle international... Read more »

Israel's prolific recent achievements and its current generation of young startup companies, fulfills the Jewish nation's mission to be a light unto the nations.

Now Obama is trying everything in his power to unseat Bibi, including what he accuses Bibi of doing: meddling in another democracy’s domestic politics.

It is like a game of roulette where the management stops the game whenever you begin losing too badly, with promises to refund your money as soon as it conveniently can.

Beyond the populist blather that passes for political discourse, it’s the staleness of the Zionist Camp's ideas on how to fix Israel that voters should be wary of.

The challenge to those who wish to maintain a narrow perspective on Israel is that the people who attacked Charlie Hebdo were also in conflict with Israel.

Last week, we took a little 3-day family outing, bringing loads of luggage fit for a Sherpa, to New York City, the land of “everything”. We left home an hour and a half past our estimated departure time (don’t ask). Ten or fifteen minutes into the trip we had to turn around and come back... Read more »

A man gets into his car, and decides – in the name of “optimism” – that he won’t buckle up. Is he an optimist or is he an idiot? After delivering a lecture on optimism to a large tech company, Shawn Achor, one of the gurus of Positive Psychology, was being driven to the airport... Read more »

Jewish right to live in peace throughout Israel must be enforced   Why as a Jew does the world think it has a right to torture me? Israel was created to prevent this. Yet on my home soil someone thinks that he has a right to torture me because I am a Jew. Israel of... Read more »

Few things are more painful than feeling that you’ve been “set up” by God. We have all had days where it seems like the universe is out to get us, and we are the butt of some cosmic joke. Sometimes, you can just see that big divine foot – a la Monty Python – coming... Read more »

The ICC may want to take account in building its case against Israel that the country it intends to prosecute for war crimes created the overwhelming majority of existing infrastructure in Gaza.

Israel does not have to defend its’ legitimacy!  Israel’s rights to the land is ingrained in history, archeological findings, international law and possession. Just like the Arab States have not been required to defend their legitimacy, Israel should also not be required to defend its’ legitimacy.   The 21 Arab States and the State of Israel... Read more »

The recent terror attacks in France show how vulnerable the Jews are in all of Europe. Can they survive the persecution?

Jews have the absolute right for their homeland. Zionism the movement itself was created during the second half the 1800′s. Jews purchased a substantial amount of territories in Palestine-Israel (see testimony of the Mufti of Jerusalem in front of the British Peel Commission) from local sheikhs and lords and built settlements there. This dates as... Read more »

The Islamist massacre at Charlie Hebdo has understandably captured global attention because it was a barbaric attack on France and freedom of expression. In a moment of defiant moral clarity, “Je suis Charlie” emerged as a popular phrase of solidarity with the victims. Hopefully such clarity persists and extends to those facing similar challenges every day in the Middle...

This letter is to the 'Erev Rav' who know nothing about Judaism whatsoever and who lead the attack on the Jewish People for selfish reasons by lying to the Gentile world.

It is not enough to rebuke enemies - Israel must have a clear plan of action in order to reunite all Jewish land and stop anti-Jewish international hypocrisy!

Even in the midst of cleaning filth and garbage, this sweet holy man finds reason to smile every morning and to thank his Creator for all that He gives him.

“Political language…is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (British novelist George Orwell) “The relativism which is not willing to speak about truth but only about ‘what is true for me’ is an evasion of the serious business of living. It is the... Read more »

While Carter permitted Iran to hold 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days, Obama may allow Iran to hold the world hostage with nuclear terrorism.
