He once had an Israeli girlfriend who was arrested by the Israeli intelligence forces and questioned. Why? Because her boyfriend was an active terrorist.

Then, as often is the case, the terrorist became a politician in the Palestinian government. Arafat and later, Abbas, worked to get him immunity from arrest for past crimes against Israelis. He became a member of the PLO, part of the Jenin apparatus and claimed to have...

Like a blood-sucking vampire without a stake in its heart, the two-state idea of a Palestinian and an Israeli nation living side by side seems to live forever.

Most of our readers know that this was a 1947-hatched idea that the Arabs rejected (they weren’t called Palestinians back then, that’s newer).

The Arab idea then until 1967 was to just kill as many Jews as possible and run the rest off. God and the Jews had...

Elliott Abrams’ piece for the Weekly Standard (below) is a masterpiece.

He is discussing the “I” President, Obama, telling the world that America’s military is fighting for him.

Oh??!

Since when. We have lots of contact with the military and believe me they are not on Obama’s side like he seems to think. The photo above shows seemingly joyful soldiers with their hands up to the President. But, look closely. He is handing out military “challenge” coins. Souvenirs that these...

A Texas INMATE took 40% of the West Virginia Democrat primary vote.

This is not a joke, but clear testimony that a typically Democrat state is fed up with the President’s war on energy, specifically in this case, coal.

Professor Barry Rubin has great insights. Whether foreign policy, local politics or just plain common sense, he has incisive commentary on what’s happening around the world. In this piece he’s pointing his bright light on the ineptness of the US and the UN.

Some of us remember the old days when the US didn’t bow to the, … oh well, you know.

The Region: A disgrace in the making

Israelis truly enjoy their food. And food in Israel is phenomenal. Street food to fancy restaurants, it’s there for the seeker. And for those who aren’t particularly taken by kosher food, there is plenty to choose from in Israel.

Having said that, there is plenty of kosher chow that will grab you if you know what to pick.

Leaving that discussion, let’s just offer you some summer fare for our favorite food guru in...

Be sure to read the op-ed below which ran on Ynet’s internet page by Racheli Malek-Boda.

In answer to the headline: Don’t be foolish. Of course there are good Arabs in the Land. Better than that, there are some wonderful Arab people. When I lived in the Nachalot neighborhood the workers who handled apartment repairs where great people and more than competent craftsmen.

When we first moved to Israel in 2006, a man...

The Iron Dome anti-missile system that Israel has developed is working. It has the ability to target incoming rockets from Gaza, determine which are headed into desert, un-populated areas and ignore them, and which are headed toward Israel’s populated areas and strike them mid-air destroying them. It is a marvelous system.

Now, word comes from Israel HaYom that the United States wants access to the technology.

MK Ben-Eliezer blew his stack, then later calmed down and apologized. He isn’t the only person who is furious at the Likud-Kadima partnership.

Why all the uproar? Why would some of the Kadima Members of the Knesset actually skip the meeting where the new coalition was approved? Why can’t Bibi just add whomever will join the party?

“A majority of 71 coalition MKs voted to approve Kadima's entry into the government,...

History-making majority. A challenge-proof ability to enact what he needs through the Knesset.

A coalition member agrees not to oppose the Prime Minister in the Knesset. It is go along or go alone, meaning dropping out of the coalition.

He gets an unassailable position to determine both diplomatic and social policy. In this case, things like the Tal Law regarding the Hassidic community’s mandatory participation in...
