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 […]
May 27, 2012 • Breitbart.com Does political posturing pass as an indictment in Turkey’s judicial system these days? Is Turkish President Recep Tayipp Erdogan using a page from the old Arab League, post-Shah Iranian playbook again? Will Turkey’s poorly-written sequel about an “aid†ship with “peaceful humanitarians†carrying rice and beans (i.e., provocateurs with terrorist ties […]
Today, Israelis mourned the loss of 22,993 soldiers and victims of terrorism who gave the ultimate sacrifice, marking the beginning of Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance Day. This day is not that different than our stateside Memorial Day. Israeli President Shimon Peres and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz spoke to mourners […]
For obvious reasons, April 15 is one of the most dreaded days in America. Now it will have a bad rap in Israel but for a very different reason. You see, another publicity stunt known as both “Air Flotilla 2†and “Welcome to Palestine†arrives at Ben Gurion Airport this Sunday. Judging by its lethal predecessor — […]
As economic times get tougher in America there’s a general tendency (and growing apathy) to pay less attention to revolutions in the Middle East and more to our dwindling bank accounts. But we can’t become complacent while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime goes home-to-home executing families any more than we can stop seeking out the […]
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 […]
While I was considering converting to Judaism, antisemitism crept into my life in a number of ways. One was hearing about a bomb threat at my 3 year old twins’ synagogue school while sitting in my KBR, Inc. office in Houston, Texas. Another occurred while sitting in my same office months later while my kids were at their swim […]
Many don’t realize that families in southern Israel and specifically Sderot, have lived in a war zone for the last eight years. Ask yourself, would your country allow this? Hamas is launching Kassam rockets towards densely populated areas. To date, 6000 rockets have landed in Sderot. The video does a good job of showing how Israelis have […]
