Aside from all this, Obama displays no strategic sense. He should make clear that the United States does not want an Iranian client, a revolutionary jihadists Taliban-like regime on the Mediterranean Sea. It should be the goal of U.S. policy to avoid… Continue reading
Do you wonder why foreign press reports about Israel are so skewed? Meet Conny Mus, the Dutch chairman of the Foreign Press Association in Israel… Continue reading
Als we de verkiezingsprogramma’s vergelijken van de partijen die meedoen met de Tweede Kamer verkiezingen op 9 juni 2010, dan valt op dat vooral de linkse partijen een desastreus Midden Oosten politiek volgen vanwege hun eenzijdige benadering van het Israëlisch-Palestijns vraagstuk… Continue reading
Unlike pirate operations off the coast of Somalia, carried out by one terrorist group, the daily claimed that the “Zionist regime” took over the flotilla in an act of government-sponsored piracy. That crime supports the Palestinian cause and brings the “Zionist regime” one step closer to its destruction… Continue reading
Against the US president Barack Obama’s bid to bridge the rift, Turkish generals are drawing up plans to break Israel’s Gaza blockade and avenge 9 deaths, while Israel is bound by its war on terror to… Continue reading

The purpose of this Flotilla was not, of course, to help the Gazans but to get publicity for ending the blockade altogether, strengthening Hamas, and hitting at Israel… Continue reading
Last night a regrettable incident occurred, during which people were killed and others were injured. IDF soldiers who were compelled to defend their lives were also injured. This incident was the result of an intentional provocation… Continue reading
Maritime blockades are a legitimate and recognized measure under international law that may be implemented as part of an armed conflict at sea. A blockade may be imposed at sea, including in international waters, so long as it does not… Continue reading
In 1942, the British War Cabinet needed the support of the colonies to survive against Nazi Germany. The British organized a dialogue with representatives of Arab countries whose outcome was the Alexandria Protocol… Continue reading
The movement, which espoused a Palestinian nationalist ideology in which Palestine would be liberated by the actions of Palestinians, was founded in 1958 or 1959 by members of the Palestinian… Continue reading
Israel’s security suffered a major setback on the eve of its homeland war-safety exercise from three Obama administration concessions that were granted to buy Moscow’s backing for UN Security Council sanctions against Iran. One was the deletion of an embargo on… Continue reading
Almost 2,000 years ago, the Roman Emperor Hadrian cursed the Jewish People and decreed that Judea should be henceforth called “Palestine” after the Philistines, an ancient enemy of Israel that had disappeared from the world’s stage more… Continue reading
The Moslems don’t want a state, in truth, the invention of Palestinian identity was a tactical move and they admit that it is part of the Arab plan for destroying Israel in stages… Continue reading
Gedurende een toespraak van David Horowitz tijdens de “Israel Apartheid Week” aan de Universiteit van Californië, San Diego, probeert een moslima door middel van het stellen van een vraag het betoogde verband tussen islamitische terroristische groeperingen… Continue reading
