Act For Israel received a transcript of a phone interview with Sgt Edi Itelman, an IDF paramedic who was a first responder on the scene of the Fogel family residence in the town of Itamar in the West Bank. The details are heartwrenching. They show how savage the terrorist killings were, and how Palestinian incitement is taking a toll […]
Act For Israel Media Fellow Tim Mak describes what it felt like to drive to the West Bank town of Itamar and how even after the savage massacre of the Fogel family, the adjacent neighborhoods are serene and typical of what you might see stateside. FromForum published Mak’s article, Itamar: “We Don’t Live in Fear:” Night […]
We all know that one of the favorite pastimes of some Palestinian photographers is the systematic staging of action scenes to demonize Israel. Oddly, we thought most had abandoned this hobby after the global embarrassment received when the world got wind of the faked footage of the al-Dura hoax. Yet, we just learned of another […]

Jonathan Schanzer and Mark Dubowitz deserve and award for giving the US administration a much needed wake-up call. Schanzer and Dubowitz analyzed numerous social media platforms to confirm that peace and progress is not high on the Palestinian agenda. In fact, this research shows that in many cases, armed conflict is more in line with the Palestinian agenda than peace and future […]
The anti-Israel bias has descended upon the Jewish State in a discombobulated rush to judgment. No other democratic state has earned such undeserved titles as “pariah state†or “apartheid state†yet we know many other nations more deserving of this designation for their totalitarianism, inequality to women, war atrocities and human rights abuses. The media would serve […]
Too often people get disappointed when expectations don’t come to fruition. Take the Israeli – Palestinian conflict for instance.
