October 28, 2012 Breitbart.com The biggest issue Israel faces today is not the garden-variety Arab Spring. It also is not whether equality and democracy reign in Israel. It’s also surprisingly not the Palestinian-Israeli conflict many associate as the bone of contention of the region. The mother-of-all-issues, as I learned Monday from Dr. Andy David, Israel’s Consul […]
August 19, 2012 Breitbart.com When the International Olympic Committee recently denied recognition of 11 Israeli Olympians murdered during the Munich Games in its opening ceremony, and Mitt Romney’s ad campaign dinged President Obama for not visiting Israel during his term, many turn to grassroots pro-Israel organizations to assess the damage. I can speak candidly on this […]
There’s something to be said for civilizations that rise above adversity and violence and focus on progress and prosperity. Israel is not only considered the Silicon Valley of the Middle East for its welter of technological startups and contributions, it’s also feeding hungry bellies in developing countries via its breakthroughs with drip irrigation and other […]
When faced with more Iranian stonewalling regarding inspecting its Parchin military facility suspected of nuclear-related military research, nothing holds truer than the proverb: “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be a duck.†Now, the UK Ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould is speaking out that the five permanent members […]
April 26, 2012 • Act For Israel It’s hard to believe 64 years after Israel reached its modern independence that we would be in an incessant world discussion about how to carve up the Jewish state even more to provide a new homeland for more Arabs. After all, in 1947 the UN parÂceled out more land […]
When will pro-Palestinian factions stop the theatrics and act like they really want a state? Apparently, these groups not only have oodles of time on their hands to undermine Israel with meticulous, never-ending PR stunts, but they also have a colossal pocketbook to fund countless delegitimization brouhahas. Weeks ago, Israelis had to deal with the promise of […]
When I read the organizers of the Global March on Jerusalem were claiming Israeli Jews were “Judaizing†Israel, I nearly choked on whole wheat Matzah (I’m starting early this year). The term “judaizing†hasn’t been in common use since the days of the Inquisition. Back then, I would be jailed, tortured and likely killed for being a “converso.†[…]
I had the pleasure of being one of a handful of devoted advocates manning Act For Israel’s social media during both “Nakba” (the annual date when Palestinians mourn the 1948 declaration of the Jewish state) and “Naksa” (marking Arab defeat and territorial losses in the 1967 Six Day War). While Act For Israel was able to get […]
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ recent speech in Qatar proved yet again that the four commodities most often exported from Palestinian leaders are hatred, incitement, violence and revisionist history. Abbas’ comments at the International Conference for Defense for Jerusalem certainly fit that bill. The Palestinian leader encouraged Muslims to flock to Jerusalem and cited former PLO […]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress was moving. Yet those watching US President Barack Obama’s AIPAC speech where he cleared up statements made in his earlier address still may have questions about whether he overstepped what previous US Presidents have stated in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Did Obama focus too much on […]
