My Word

My Word: Biden’s speech, Hamas’s deeds

Biden has a vision of a peaceful Middle East “the day after Gaza.” If only Israel’s enemies shared the same vision. The terrorists are more inspired by Hamas’s “victory” than by Biden’s nice words.

My Word: The Hague’s moral haze leaves a stain on history

Khan wanted to leave his mark. And he has. It’s a dark, bloody bruise. A stain on history. 

My Word: Biden, the Eurovision, and offensive questions and answers

If Israel is not able to defend itself – hitting back at its enemies – nobody will be safe. “Ironclad support” is meaningless if it translates as a steely grip preventing Israel from taking action. 

My Word: Combining commemoration and celebration

We survive not just because we remember the past but because we understand that, no matter what, we have a future. Am Yisrael chai! 

My Word: Dos and don’ts in defense and diplomacy

If Israel is not free to act without the blessing of Western powers, their support is a mixed blessing indeed. 

The warning signs in symbols and slogans of the pro-Palestine cause

Nothing is lost in translation, but there are still those who prefer not to read the writing on the wall in any language.

My Word: The Eurovision and the drums of war

My Word: Sanctioning settlers and the two-state obsession

The settler sanctions affair is closely related to another issue – another prize for terrorism.

 PALESTINIANS RECEIVE flour bags distributed by UNRWA in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

My Word: UNRWA’s ‘Un’-doing

The whole concept of “human rights” has been hijacked by terrorist organizations. This is the pervasion of justice that should be on trial in an international court.

My Word: Unsocial media and the Gaza war

You can believe in the free market and you can believe in freedom of expression, but Facebook’s refusal to remove the ad belies a very deep problem – one that challenges the entire free world.
