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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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).

By now, anyone who’s surfed the internet, turned on a TV, radio or had a discussion about world politics has heard that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down. Really forced out. A peaceful revolution that was really a street-side coup d’état to topple a corrupt government that was a firm friend of the West. So how do we internalize US […]
World leaders have pegged the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the panacea for Middle East peace for decades. Some have gone as far as to suggest peacemaking between these two peoples impart far-reaching, even global ramifications. Most have had to recoil their dropped jaws and eat their words when the real issues came to light as the […]
Who hasn’t heard of the public scapegoating of Israel over the Gaza flotilla incident? For those in need of a refresher, here is what occurred: aggressive “peace†activists carrying firearms, fireÂbombs, metal clubs, slingÂshots and large chunks of cash hit IDF soldiers relentlessly as they tried to inspect their ship. A pre-flotilla video turned up that showed […]
We have seen Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan say and do many anti-Israel things this year starting with the flotilla debacle all the way to embracing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad like a newly found BFF. But this one says it all. Now, Erdogan is claiming that Hamas is political group, not terrorists. Wow! You can […]
Imagine if there were evil forces out to frame you no matter what you did or how you did it. Then consider Israel.
