Yehuda Avner, a former adviser to multiple Israeli prime ministers, has written an essay titled The Mughrabi Gate Incident, which is worth reviewing for those who wonder about the Jewish right to pray at the Temple Mount. Keep in mind that some years ago Jews were forbidden to pray—and blow the shofar—at the Western Wall

Operation Protective Edge between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs was different than any other war in recent history. This wasn’t a guerrilla battle, nor was it about any disputed territories. The “territories” involved were the entire State of Israel, where rockets were fired at every city, and Israel’s fight was against Hamas, an organization that

While anti-Israel elements threaten to boycott the Jewish state, and there’s continued pressures from the Obama Administration, the economy of the State of Israel continues to boom. Israel has approximately the same number of companies listed on NASDAQ as the next three countries combined, and, as one of the most technologically advanced countries in the

Imagine that this week, Jews got angry and hundreds attacked Palestinian Arabs with rocks at the holiest Muslim site in the world. Imagine that this violence came after a handful of Muslims came to pray peacefully at the site and that even though hundreds of Jews attacked police officers, only seven were arrested.  Can anyone imagine

Israel is so constantly subject to obscene double standards by the media that it reminds me of a touching scene from the movie Defiance, about Jewish partisans during the Holocaust, where the prayer leader begs of G-d, “Please, choose another people! We’ve run out of blood, so please choose another people.” When incidents that portray
