Iran’s umbilical cord to Syria is nauseatingly obvious when UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan has to go to Tehran to gain support for his faltering ceasefire plan. Yet for the Boston Globe to report “the visit is to stop the country’s slide into civil war†is a boldface lie. CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux has also downplayed Syria’s […]
Yesterday evening I had the rare pleasure of attending a speech in San Francisco given by one of Israel’s most accomplished and admired politicians, Israeli President Shimon Peres. First, my husband and I had to pass through a human barricade of Occupy Oakland protestors while they screamed vile comments about Zionists and the state of Israel. Then a wait in […]
Ready for the reality of women in Islamic countries? Look no further. Pakistani Actress Veena Malik defies a mullah that accuses her of immoral behavior while appearing on the reality TV show, Big Brother. Express News TV (Pakistan) broadcast this segment on January 21, 2011. That’s right, 2011. MEMRI TV Project translated and subtitled it so […]
There are no words to describe how saddened Act For Israel and other pro-Israel groups and communities are after learning about the Fogel Family Massacre in the West Bank Jewish community of Itamar. There is no excuse for breaking into innocent families homes and bludgeoning them to death. Israel has made numerous attempts to make peace […]
There is nothing more absurd than Israel Apartheid Week. Those that experienced apartheid in South Africa know that calling Israel an “apartheid state” is ridiculous. Likewise, those that spent years in Nazi concentration camps know that calling Israel a “Nazi state” is just preposterous. Yet, Palestinians and those that hate Israel and Jews alike continue […]
It’s a sad state of affairs when the UN has little interest in Middle East protesters that are getting slain daily yet puts its Security Council in overdrive to defame Israel. Act For Israel made mention of this today and regularly calls the UN out on its biased conduct towards Israel. Protesters in African nations and […]
The European Parliament appears to be taking up the United Nations’ favorite pastime. Unfortunately, this hobby is far from honorable. It entails demonizing and delegitimizing a tiny democratic country called Israel. In fact, the UN has a long anti-Israel bias. For instance, UN bodies exist solely to extort the Palestinian cause, continue conflict in the region and […]
What’s New: It’s hard to believe that Iran is issuing statements telling the world that we shouldn’t consider the impending stoning case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani as a human rights issue. Well, that’s a tough one to swallow as we approach 2011. Stoning was one of many forms of capital punishments in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 […]
Growing up, being a liberal meant you were an intellectual who stood for noble causes like progress, peace and human rights. I’m proud to say my dad was one – he knew the wrongs that needed to be resolved but also knew when someone put lipstick on a pig. Yet today, those that claim to be liberal are often walking […]
The Jerusalem Post just characterized Israel’s prompt response to Haiti’s earthquake victims as the Israel’s “public relations knight in shining armor.†That couldn’t be further from the truth. Israelis and non-Israeli Jews have a long history of helping those in need. One of the beliefs rabbis teach young Jews and new Jews alike is tikkun olam, […]
