The lethal combination of two extremely dangerous pieces of legislation being promoted by the prime minister – a new law protecting his immunity from prosecution and a push for a legislation to overturn Supreme Court decisions – is going to lead to a constitutional crisis
The current Israeli government has willingly sacrificed the security of residents along Israel’s Gaza border to achieve the extreme-right goal driving the whole country to the brink of disaster
The controversial caricature published by the Jewish-owned New York Times, showing Trump as a blind Jew walking his Netanyahu-looking dog, proves that anti-Israel agenda can evolve into something much bigger
The IDF makes mistakes, but the radical Left engages in pure slander; I cannot recall an incident in which a Nazi soldier shot at the legs of fleeing Jews or provided medical care for them; Jewish life expectancy did not rise under the Nazis nor did they enjoyed a sharp increase in education
Israel would benefit from a national unity government while a narrow coalition will continue down the wrong path leading ultimately to a bi-national state
Netanyahu’s supporters don’t believe his involvement in the submarine affair despite overwhelming evidence, but they blindly fall for unconfirmed, far-fetched claims about an alleged sex-tape on Benny Gantz’s hacked phone; this is the definition of agnotology – intentional seeding of ignorance
Israel is more than justified in responding harshly to Hamas’ provocations, but it is foolish to embark on yet another military campaign with an inevitable disappointing result we are so familiar with.

Whatever Mandelblit says Thursday, the prime minister has already been judged in the court of public opinion,and many believe the system is corrupt and will do anything to have the PM’s head; the right thing to do is send him home without a criminal process that would tear Israel apart.
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has no problem with political donations that don’t come from pro-Israel organizations while Saudi and Qatari money are apparently ok; there is a name for that kind of double-standard.
For years Israeli public has been tricked into believing that Palestinian terrorism stems from a desire to end the occupation and be liberated, but the truth is that terror originates from hate and incitement being preached by jihadists within the Muslim community.
The outcome of the primaries could have been much worse, but the party faithful proved they were not Netanyahu’s obedient soldiers, voting for Gideon Sa’ar, the prime minister’s political rival, and against David Sharan, who enjoyed Netanyahu’s support despite being suspected of corruption. So now what?
