Israel’s current situation vis-à-vis the US is unpleasant, and will likely to remain so for another 2 years. But this isn’t the end of the world.

On Wednesday, the Jerusalem Municipality announced it is shelving plans to build 1,500 apartments in the Har Homa neighborhood. Officials gave no explanation for its sudden move. But none was needed.

Obviously the construction of apartments for Jews in Jerusalem was blocked in the hopes of appeasing US President Barack Obama. Continue Reading »

Obama’s Agenda & the goal of the White House’s foreign policy

 

The administration’s goal is not to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. The goal of Obama’s foreign policy is to weaken the State of Israel.

It isn’t surprising that the US and the other five powers signed a deal with Iran on Saturday. Over the past few weeks, US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry made it clear that they were committed to signing a deal with Iran as quickly as possible.

And it isn’t surprising that the deal these overeager leaders signed with the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism makes the world a much more dangerous place than it was before the agreement was concluded. Continue Reading »

Livni’s misguided political strategy

Livni’s national security track record show, whatever her intentions may be, she is totally incompetent to understand, secure or advance Israel’s national security.

For Justice Minister Tzipi Livi, all politics are personal.She can be trusted, because she is good. Her opponents must be rejected, because they are evil.

In her speech at The Jerusalem Post’s Diplomatic Conference in Herzliya last Thursday, Livni insisted that the only “legitimate” basis for opposing a Palestinian state is ideological. Livni stridently rejected the notion that one can oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state – in the two-state solution framework – for security reasons.

Pro-Israel Jews & gentiles alike should be on ‘High Alert’

The ‘true believers’: Barry, Bibi & Kerry, and the inevitable destruction awaiting from their fanaticism fermented in fantasy.

By Caroline B. Glick

 
W ERUSALEM— Standing next to US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday morning, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni gushed that through his indefatigable efforts to bring Israeli and Palestinian officials to Washington, Kerry proved that “nothing can stop true believers.”

As usual, the cognitively-challenged Livni told us something she hadn’t intended to say. The term “true believer” was coined by Eric Hoffer in his classic work The True Believer from 1951, which Livni has obviously not read. Continue Reading »

American Foreign Policy: Wounded & Dangerous

Israeli leaders for the most part have reacted to U.S. Sec. of St.  John Kerry’s constant harping by rolling their eyes. He seems like a complete lunatic. Obviously Kerry will fail and the best thing we can do is smile and nod, like you do when you are dealing with a crazy person.

US Secretary of State John Kerry looks like a bit of an idiot these days. On Monday he announced that he will be returning to Israel and the Palestinian Authority and Jordan for the fifth time since he was sworn into office on February 1. Continue Reading »

Column One: Dershowitz & Current Realities

Dershowitz apparently does not think that it is important to focus on the nature of things in the Islamic world, the realities, rather, he places his faith in his power to shape the future through his intellect & his willingness to compromise.

There are two main reasons that many leftists who are viscerally supportive of Israel have difficulty understanding and defending the Jewish state today. First, the storyline about Israel is deeply distorted.
