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 […]
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to blog about issues affecting Israel and the Middle East. Currently, skepticism in Israel is high as Iran readies to sign a deal with the IAEA just before the 6-Power talks get underway in Baghdad. Israeli leaders have good reason to be skeptical of anything Iran signs with the […]
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 […]
Which is worse? Ahmadinejad claiming his Islamic regime is developing nuclear isotopes to “treat cancer†or EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton spearheading the P5+1 engagement team trying to negotiate a solution with Iran?  For those following the issues closely, choosing between these two presents a real dilemma. Those who know Iran’s history of calling Israel a cancer […]
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 — […]
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 […]
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). While Act For Israel was able to get […]
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 […]
Iran’s state TV touted the country’s first foreign film Oscar win Monday as a victory over archenemy Israel. The state TV broadcast stated the award succeeded in “leaving behind†a film from the “Zionist regime.â€Â The state reaction was childish and spiteful but also an expected move by Iranian state-run media in Tehran. But what Iran is […]
