Last week 4 innocent Israelis were killed, brutally butchered by a knife-wielding Israeli Bedouin terrorist.  No, not a Palestinian, an Israeli-ID holding Bedouin.  In his rampage he killed Laura Yitzhak, Rabbi Moshe Kravitzky, Doris Yahbas, and Menahem Yehezkel.  Between them they left 10 orphans and fathomless depths of grief and …

Suddenly, there are two issues that have arisen which have the potential to shorten the life of the Israeli coalition government. The first relates to Mansour Abbas’ four-seat Ra’am party. Abbas himself is treading a fine line between dampening ideological fissures, in exchange for very practical gains for Israeli Arabs. …

I have been writing for a very long time about the need for Prime Minister Netanyahu to have that spine of steel in order to stand strong for our rights.  And the way I have been seeing it over the last ten days, he’s been doing a good job of …

Election number three. What was different? Exit polls, having twice underestimated Prime Minister Netanyahu and his block’s number of Knesset seats in April 2019 and September 2019, now overestimated them. Only by a small number.

  Due to never-ending Arab hostility toward Jews in the Middle East I am reading more and more people talking about the possibility of transference.  Mainly in the comments of various pro-Israel blogs and news websites, but among some well respected high-profile analysts, as well, the idea of inducing Israeli-Arabs …

As long as Israel acknowledges that the Palestinian Arabs’ national claims to statehood in Judea-Samaria are authentic and legitimate, Israel can never be secure externally, or internally. The Arabs… will not flinch from the war of liberation… This is a fight for the homeland – it is either us or …

A bit more follow up and analysis before Shabbat… Some of the recommended actions I wrote about yesterday, and more, have been put in place.  Not because I wrote about them, obviously, but because the government in this regard is responding with some appropriate security and deterrence measures: There is …

Submitted and written by Arlene Kushner. January 26, 2014: Legal Grounds. These are the legal grounds Israel has in Judea and Samaria – charges by the international community not withstanding.  It is what I – and my co-chair on this effort, Jeff Daube, head of the Israel office of ZOA – …
