    Touring Kfar Aza Ruins, Evangelicals Call Hamas Savagery ‘Revolting’—a ‘Scene From Saving Private Ryan’

    We are barely two miles from the Gaza border. We can see smoke rising from Israeli air strikes on Hamas positions. We can hear – and feel – the steady boom, boom, boom of IDF artillery, fired from close beside us, at Hamas strongholds in Gaza. And as we walk through the ruins of Kfar

    Why I Am Glad to See Campus Antisemitism Revealed

    The recent revelation of just how deeply antisemitism is embedded in some of our nation’s leading universities is certainly disturbing. But it is not in the least surprising. That’s why I, for one, am glad to see all this coming to the surface. It’s ugly. It’s insidious. It’s inexcusable. But at last, it’s being exposed

    Modern-Day Scandal: Accusing Israel of Genocide

    You may believe that Israel’s response to Oct. 7 is disproportionate. You may even believe that, on some level, the Israel Defense Forces is guilty of war crimes. But to accuse Israel of committing genocide is as preposterous as it is scandalous. Yet the word “genocide” is virtually ubiquitous these days, the most common description

    Religious Freedom Precedent: America’s Pro-Jewish Founding Fathers

    “The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.” These are the words of John Adams, America’s second president. His words are

    Why My Sympathy for the Palestinians Is Growing

    It is true that a recent poll indicated that 75% of Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank supported the actions of Hamas on Oct. 7. It is true that the people of Gaza chose to elect Hamas as their leaders in 2006. And it is true that an alarming number of Palestinians have

    Satan’s Two-State Solution?

    Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley was recently asked about a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian cycle of violence—following a future cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. She responded that “it is not a true conversation” because Palestinians and Iran “don’t want it.” The Republican presidential candidate said that, when she was working at the United

    After multiple violations of the ceasefire by Hamas, the IDF just announced it has resumed its military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The war is suddenly back on, just one week after it began. At 5:42 a.m. local time, Hamas fired rockets at the Israeli border city of Sderot. Then, at just after

    Mat Staver: Why Israel Matters

    My heart breaks over the shocking carnage Hamas carried out in Israel. At the time of this writing, at least 1,400 people in Israel, including more than 30 Americans, have been slaughtered by Hamas terrorists. As the war in Israel continues to escalate, it is disturbing to see anti-Israel protests and a rise of antisemitism

    Comparing the War in Israel to a Jewish Wedding

    Over the past few weeks, I, like many other Jewish people, have been asked by our non-Jewish friends how we are doing. At first, I struggled for an answer to that question as I watched the news of the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against my people, which was then followed by marches and speeches by

    The Unthinkable Things Inside and Under Gazan Hospitals

    The other day, I was reading my grandson the Dr. Seuss classic, “In a People House.” It was a needed respite for me, a break from incessantly following the news of the war in Israel, albeit that the Red Alert app on my phone sounded throughout, indicating continued rocket fire from Hamas terrorists in Gaza

    Conservative Titans, and the World, Clash Over Israel

    The war taking place between Israel and the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas has split the world in two: those for Israel and those against.
