Ending the Building Freeze
September 1, 2010Despite the arm-twisted “denouncement” by the Palestinian Authority of yesterday’s murderous terror attack that left 4 Israelis dead, the average Palestinian rejoiced. While the Palestinians rejoice over the spilled blood of Jews, the Jews of Israel have had enough. We don’t send out death squads to murder innocents like they do, but express our outrage [...]

Reciprocity
August 29, 2010Yuli Edelstein raises an interesting point. Since no one knows what the borders would be if this round of talks were somehow successful, it seems rather one-sided that only Israel must freeze construction in the disputed territories. After all, the Arabs are building on land that may very well fall within Israel’

Academic Terror – Not a safe environment
August 21, 2010Way back when I was in College, I went to a relatively non-politicized university, but it was always easy to tell who was politically right, and who was politically left. Those who kept their political views to themselves were presumably right, while those on the left made it openly clear what their views were, and [...]

Hypocritical silence about Egyptian crimes against humanity
August 19, 2010by Lurker While human rights activists and bleeding hearts focus all their attention on the plight of the African migrants in Israel, nobody seems to give a flying leap about what the Egyptians are doing to them every day, just over the border. Arabs apparently have a free hand to commit brutal torture, mutilation, rape, [...]

How Israels Dep. Foreign Minister helped Lebanese Palestinians
August 18, 2010This story is simply amazing. For over 60 years, Palestinians living in Lebanon had no rights and existed in sub-human conditions. The world of course, blamed Israel.

Why is the NIF against Transparency?
August 17, 2010The government is proposing a bill. It’s a simple bill. Israeli NGOs will be required to report how much funding they receive from foreign governments, or from sources that are primarily funded by foreign governments.
