A few thoughts on President Trump’s Gaza plan. Opinion.
Putting a demarcation in the pool won't prevent sharks from crossing over and devouring swimmers. Trump understands that Israel must refuse to yield any portion of her God- given Land to the insatiable monsters who hold 99.7% of the Middle East. Opinion
The UN gave lip service to the Holocaust, ignoring the fact that Jews are being held hostage by Hamas right now - some kidnapped or held by UNRWA workers and others in UN facilities. If it weren't so macabre, it would be ironic. Opinion.
Dai, means "enough". It is time to dictate terms to Hamas, not the other way around. Opinion.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s words are as relevant today as when he first spoke them!
Though exasperated, I declare: It was criminal for anyone, other than direct relatives of the hostages, to demand a deal “at any price” and that such a deal absolutely violates core Jewish law. How many times must we replay the same debacle? Op-ed.
Negotiating with dictatorships guarantees failure. Why? Because Democratic governments are transitional and short-term oriented because of the pressure of upcoming elections. Oped.

Hard-hearted Pharaoh, the Hebrews, and explaiining the Jews who supported Obama/Biden/Harris. Opinion.

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is now poised for transformative operational enhancements, with policy directives set to affect the Middle East's power balance. Opinion.

To suggest that the Gazans need to remain within the demolition site that Gaza has become is inhumane and racist. Opinion.

Part 2: Ongoing religious, cultural, historical, military struggle and rivalry.
Objections to President Trump’s deportation order for illegals in the US and his plan to relocate every human shield out of Gaza reflect arrogant morality and collaboration with cruelty. Opinion.

The hostages are returning from the depths of Gaza, but “safe and sound,” in this case, is a relative term. Opinion,
It’s not Israelis who are struggling with challenges to their values but Jews in the Diaspora. Opinion.
Do the Arab and Muslim worlds want a solution to the Palestinian problem? Or do they just want to cling to an ideology with which they can bludgeon Israel? Opinion.
Repeat after me: 'It is wrong to release unrepentant murders out onto the streets for any reason.' We do not have to make that release possible. Opinion.
They effectively blocked sanctions on an antisemitic International Criminal Court because it impacted those who enable it. Then they blamed the GOP. Schumer was too cowardly to act the way principled Dem. Senator Fetterman did. Op-ed.
We, the Jewish People, are not going to walk like sheep to the slaughter. Op-ed.
When the hostages were paraded before their release, clear faces to the sun, surrounded by an armed, masked, brutal, dark multitude, I thought “we have already won.” And the holy blood of 14-year-old shepherd Benjamin Achimeir Hy"d and others does not negate that victory.
Kfir and Ariel Bibas must be the last Jewish children ever taken or held captive by antisemites. To ensure that, Hamas must be destroyed. Totally. Opinion.

Israel must adopt a policy of maximum pressure on the Lebanese government, mainly through the US administration, with the goal of preventing Iran's involvement and isolating Hezbollah by ending its "people-state" role. Opinion.
When it comes to the crunch, their Arab co-religionists are not there to better the life of Gazans, although they have spent years bewailing their situation and falsely blaming Israel for it. Time for a change. Opinion.
Instead of Witkoff pressuring Hamas, Iran, Qatar, and Egypt, who were all complicit in the October 7 atrocities, the pressure was placed on Israel. While Trump expels terror supporters from the US, Israel is forced to release terrorists into our midst. Opinion.
The city is a magnet for weapons, Iranian and Hamas-fueled terrorism, and gunmen who are increasingly using deadly IEDs, and blatantly use mosques, schools and hospitals.
A trail of blood runs through Europe's cities, as more and more places, even the most idyllic and sleepy, turn into crime scenes. A trail of migrants runs through the list of perpetrators. Opinion.
For jihadist terrorists, there can never be distinctions between civilians and non-civilians, between innocents and non-innocents, so although judicial procedures against them would be ideal, international law must not become a suicide pact. Opinion.
How can a Jewish state free the murderers of Jews, wholesale? Op-ed.
It may be painful for us to accept this truth, but presently the Arabs are happy with the outcome of their invasion and massacre. Those Israelis who associate the release of our hostages with “victory” are deluding themselves. Opinion.
After 33 of our hostages are brought home in the first phase of the deal, Israel must return to fighting in Gaza—this time stronger, smarter and more efficiently than before. Opinion.

Who is the true son of Israel - the one who goes to the gas chambers or the one who fights in his defense? Opinion.
Witkoff has read everything that one needs to read about the commercial real estate industry – and perhaps, the book on deals penned by his dear friend Donald Trump. He has not read the Koran. Op-ed.

Yes, Trump forced Israel’s hand, but now the cards have shifted to Hamas and this too shall pass. Opinion.
The grandparents of today’s jihadists collaborated with Adolf Hitler, who promised them a “Final Solution” of the “Jewish question.” Now Atheist Russia and jihadist Islam have created an unholy alliance of totalitarian fanatics with the same goal. Opinion.
Why was Israel forced to accept such a bad deal when a much better deal could have been negotiated one month later, aided by the threat of force? Opinion.
