The missile fire on Eilat did not result in any injuries or damage, yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear after the attack that those responsible would pay the price. Continue Reading »

When a US embassy official refuses to grant a certain person a visa because he was born in Iran or “has the face of a terrorist” in his passport photo, that’s apparently fine. Yet when we dare to prevent the entry of the pro-Palestinian fly-in because the passenger list includes kind souls whose official profession is hatred for Jews and for Israel, all the bleeding hearts rise up against us.
