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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Since Friday, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired over 200 rockets at cities, towns, and farming regions in southern Israel, yet the best EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton can cough up is concern over the escalation of violence that “left 14 Palestinians dead.†Statements like this serve as a u-turn on human rights and a drastic […]
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 […]
Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, and the first corporation (under The President and Fellows of Harvard College) chartered in the country. It’s history, influence, and wealth have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world until recently. Now, Harvard is on a path that could […]
Dear Dean Ellwood: Phone: 617 – 495‑1122 Fax: 617 – 495‑9118 Email: david_ellwood@Harvard.Edu I am an avid supporter of free speech but must call it out when the intent is to dismantle the Jewish state of Israel. A conference scheduled at HKS on March 3 – 4 is planning to do just that. The anti-Israel groups representing the “One State Conference†are […]
The pro-Israel community has warned the world for decades to disregard Palestinian leaders words but rather focus on their actions. Many have deemed the Palestinian Authority “moderates†in comparison to Hamas yet this is hardly the case if their endgame is the same as Hamas. Act For Israel has blogged about the glaring discrepancy of what […]
