Commentary: South Africa’s genocide case against Israel is rank hypocrisy

It might turn out to be the worst decision the country has ever […]

OpEd: Disrupters Should Be Prosecuted to the Full Extent of the Law

Those who blocked the Brooklyn Bridge would have prevented ambulances getting through to the hospital on an already congested highway. A motorist waiting there could have a heart attack. In Pennsylvania, a suspect could be charged with reckless endangerment.

OpEd: Israel’s Position in the World

Despite this, the US purports to be Israel’s best friend. It certainly is Israel’s biggest arms supplier, but beyond that, the current administration attempts to restrain Israel from defeating Hamas, which is supported by Iran. It also wants Israel to negotiate, not fight, with Hezbollah in Lebanon, yet another untrustworthy, terrorist army pressing Israel on its northern border. Eventually, it expects Israel to “live side by side in peace with a State of Palestine.” A Palestinian Arab “state” is definitely not acceptable to Israel, given the historical enmity between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs.

Israel at War: History Repeating Itself

Of course, we all know that not all Arabs, certainly not all Moslems, are dedicated to the destruction of Israel and Jews.  Signed agreements with several Arab countries contradict this.  The major entity behind all the current antagonism is Iran, which encourages, finances and fosters hatred of Israel wherever it can.

If motorists and airline passengers – especially those who missed their flights – can ever organize, these protesters will be in deep trouble. Any one of us knows how it feels to be stuck in traffic or fear missing a flight. Here, road rage and flight rage combine. [Bruce S. Ticker]

OpEd: A War to the Finish

Is Hamas losing? I say yes. One significant reason is the hundreds of Hamas fighters who have surrendered to the IDF. They have given up their fight only because they have no surviving commanders, they are hungry and thirsty, they lack ammunition, and they know that the Israelis will treat them humanely. In the meantime, these terrorists, some of whom were active in the October 7 onslaught, have provided a tremendous amount of intelligence. [Steve Kramer]
