In Israel, Jews are said to hate Arabs and Arabs are said to hate Jews; fueled by politicians from both sides, hatred is taking over the country; but with the worst inciters among the Arab MKs leaving, we have an historic opportunity for unity.

The prime minister is waging a reckless and dangerous campaign against the justice system because he knows the AG will eventually decide to indict him. He’s trying to drag us down and we can’t let him.
The world has a strange double standard on the Muslim world – it’s ok when they massacre their own, and the Turkish president is the master of it
It is bewildering how many believe Hamas can be appeased despite Hezbollah proving that Jihad forces need no excuse for their propagation of destruction; Hezbollah is also world’s largest crime organization but Obama chose a conciliatory policy ignoring their drug smuggling, money laundering.
It’s regrettable that the terror group’s sentiments were echoed by some in the Knesset.
Judges in The Hague decide to reopen the investigation against Israel in the Mavi Marmara incident despite the prosecutor repeatedly closing the case over flotilla organizers IHH’s ties to global Jihad.
Hamas succeeded in convincing the Right it had won the last round of fighting in Gaza, leading Netanyahu and Bennett to declare a new chapter has begun. But what has really changed? Nothing. Israel needs a change, which is exactly what the current government is lacking.
For years there has been talk about making a deal with Hamas, it had many names but it never materialized. Now, with a policy based on nothing but illusions, Israel is hoping to reach an ‘arrangement’ with the terror group, even though their leaders made it clear a long time ago that no potential ceasefire would ever be permanent.
The US is justified in its refusal to cooperate with the ICC over alleged war crimes committed by its forces and close allies, democratic countries are capable of trying their own soldiers; but the Palestinians, who fund murderers and their families, turn to the ICC to file complaints against Israel.
The so-called ‘Palestinian refugee problem’ would have been resolved if only standard refugees procedures had been implemented instead of UNRWA allowing their number to balloon to 5.3 million by counting descendents too; Obama Admin. buried State Dept. report of actual refugees number, perhaps 30,000.
The attack on 3 Arab youths at the Haifa beach last week was no less than Jewish terrorism. And we must not show understanding or leniency towards violence against Arabs just because of ‘what the other side is doing to us.’ Violence must be eradicated with a firm hand.
I have a profound disagreement with Peter Beinart, and I’d rather dedicate an article to his distortions, but his questioning at Ben-Gurion Airport forces me to write an article against the Shin Bet instead. Not everyone who writes an article against Israel needs to be questioned.
Despite the Palestinian flags and the pro-Palestinian slogans being shouted at the Tel Aviv rally against the Nation State Law, we must listen to the moderate voices, those Arab Israeli who want equality and integration into Israeli society. But we must also remember, with equality also come duties.
We need to stop the incendiary balloons and kites launched into Israeli communities. It has becomes unbearable. No government in the world would allow what is happening in southern Israel to happen without military response. Israel’s deterrent power is deteriorating while Hamas’s power is on the rise. How long is this going to last?
Last week, in Kibbutz Beit HaEmek—a Meretz stronghold—a vote was held in order to decide whether three asylum seeker families should be allowed to stay there; with a majority of 92 out of 179 it was decided not to allow the families to stay. This decision is contrary to the message of acceptance preached by the elites.
