Bringing our Israeli boys home - Prisoner swaps provide the motivation for bigger and better kidnappings.

>

Palestine Nakba - the obvious mystery - Why isn't anyone concerned about giving the Arab Palestinian refugees their real basic rights?

Holocaust, Israel, Zionism - Israel was created despite the Holocaust, not because of it, but it is a monument that honors our martyrs.

The strange case of the Hamas cease fire negotiations - What is strange, is that nobody in Israel or the US has really tried to stop them.

War in Gaza? Maybe not - Everyone is predicting an Israeli invasion of Gaza this summer, but it may not happen.

The missing campus organization - There is (almost) no non-sectarian pro-Israel campus group.

Ask not what we can do for your candidate. Tell us what your candidate can do for us! - Never mind if your candidate's best friends are Jewish, Arab, Catholic and Latino combined. Where do they stand on the issues?

Marwan Barghouti - Prince of Israeli-Palestinian peace?? - Is Marwan Barghouti a man of peace  or is he the key to Pandora's box?

Pallywood - at Haaretz - The truth is out there - in a Palestinian NGO.

Sex, Google, Muslims, Arabs and everyone else - Muslims and Arabs are somewhat obsessed with sex, but so are the rest of us. 

Jewish people: Do we exist? An expert on French history, Shlomo Zand, says, "No!." Here's the short version: Shlomo Zand and the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem

Liberal Jewish Lobby vs Conservative Jewish Lobby  - There is no point in having any lobby if we can't speak with one voice.

Washington Post: Unbearable lightness of lying about Israel - Scott Wilson insists  that Arab soldiers are "excluded" from the IDF. The photo shows Christian Arab IDF soldiers celebrating Christmas. Who are you going to believe, a respected editor or a silly old photo?

Jerusalem - Explaining the obvious - Yes, Jerusalem is important to Zionism. No, Shuafat and Har Choma are not vital to Israel or Zionism.

Israeli crimes in Humsa and Hadidiya - Amnesty International Hoax - Amnesty imagination turns summer tent encampments into homes, and trespassers into victims.

Terrorist massacre in Jerusalem: The truth is louder than a Kalatchnikov -  Massacre of Yeshiva students should unite Zionists and Jews regardless of political opinions.

Gaza media wars and proportionality - Why I'm glad Israel is losing the media wars.

Gaza media wars: We have already seen this movie - Whenever Israel tries to defend itself, the usual accusations of "Zionist Nazis" are trotted out. Is it just the fault of bad "hasbara" or is everyone out to get us, or are we really worse than, say, the Lebanese army?

Zionism: We must make the change that we seek What went wrong and how to fix it.

IDF Negev Beasts - The story of the famous Palmach Commando, from the book, "Eyes of the Beholder."

The Winograd Report on the Second Lebanon War - The report and the handling of it, are as bad as the war.

Amazing fact about Gazans - According to the Palestinian lobby, each Gaza consumes nearly half a ton of flour a day. The humanitarian crisis is caused by failure to supply this need.

Gaza Gotcha - One by one, Hamas's moves are adding up. They intend the sum to be a de facto Palestinian state.

Living with Middle East Media Bias - an egregious example in Reuters - "Palestinians killed" the headline announces, and the article mentions "settlers" and "settlement" six times. But the Palestinians were terrorists, not victims.

Gaza - The sky is not falling there either - yet - Hamas manufactures a crisis for their own benefit.

Memoirs of a Palmach volunteer, 1948 - This touching account illustrates the idealism, the paucity of means and the greatness of spirit of those people and that time.

Was there Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine in 1948? - One man's eye-witness account.

Israel: Remembering the price of freedom - Honor our nation's dead - the price of our freedom.

Carlos Chavez: the Rachel Corrie nobody will talk about Where's the media uproar when a really innocent and idealistic volunteer is killed?

Is there an alternative to the two state solution? - Screwing with the data won't make more Jews.

Feminists against women leadership - MS magazine bars advertisement showing women leaders - because they are Israeli. MS is solidly behind the Arab-Muslim approach to feminism it seems.

Mr. Bush: You are not in Kansas anymore  - These strange Israelis and Arabs don't think like you do, and things don't work the same here as they do back home.

Sari Nusseibeh versus MEMRI: What is the truth? - Memri's edited clips show this ostensibly moderate Palestinian saying some terrible things. What was the context?

No rapes in IDF: World outrage at Zionist Racism - (Satire) - World protests Zionism's latest atrocity: failure to rape Arab women.

 Jesus get your gun: Quakers for guns - CPT bemoans grave Zionist rights violations: confiscation of toy guns. Support the NRA - give to CPT.

Your tax money at work: Hired Assassins of the Americans and EU - Donor funds pay the salaries of the Palestinian terrorists who murdered two Israelis.

Hark the Wall Street Journal Sings, Jews are doing terrible things! BEP! BEP! - Perennial Jew-bashing articles about Christians in Hebron have no basis in fact.

A Jew who dares to speak out about Zionism - Marcy Winograd is collecting testimonies from Jews who dare to speak out about Zionism. Here's mine.

An Encounter with Esther Cailingold: Zionist Martyr for Jerusalem - Zionism has its own martyrs, real ones. 

When a peace initiative is warmongering - Bringing Hamas to 'negotiate' peace with 'justice' is not peace.

The Hamas truce non-offer- The non-truce non-offer is more useful than a real offer.

No Pasaran: Mukasey nomination and American fascist racism in 'radical' clothing - 'Progressive' bloggers turned the Mukasey nomination debate into an anti-'Zionism' witch hunt.

Israel advocacy after the Iran NIE  - The NIE means whatever it means, but turning Iran into an "Israel issue" is wrong. Iran is not just about Israel. It is mostly not about Zionism or Jews. That is a distraction from the main event, and turning it into an Israel issue plays into the hands of Ahmadinejad. Iran is dangerous for the US, for its Middle Eastern Arab neighbors and for Israel. It is not an object for PR or spin. Israel, Israel advocates and everyone else have to meet it with appropriate action, not with hysterical op-eds and speechifying. 

U.S. policy on Iran: Confusion to our friends! - The Iran National Intelligence Estimate affair says more about how the United States formulates policy, evaluates intelligence and treats allies than it does about Iran.

Annapolis punditry: Whose Folly?? - Hamas and Caroline Glick insist that the Annapolis meeting will be bad for their side. It will be bad for whoever opposes peace.The real Zionist position on Annapolis - Annapolis will not bring instant peace, but it is good for Israel and Zionism.

Who's afraid of Annapolis?  - Extremists oppose the Annapolis meeting not because they are sure it will fail, but because they are afraid it will succeed.

Holocaust and Identity  - Where does the Holocaust fit in Jewish "identity"?

Was Saddam Hussein really developing WMD? - It is hard to judge from the evidence.

Don't make us choose between Zionism and peace - Surprisingly, many people didn't know what "Jewish State" means, and many "Zionists" agreed that we don't need  a Jewish state.

Palestinians and Israel: The heart of the matter - Palestinians chief negotiator rejects the idea of a Jewish state, so what is there to talk about?

Q&A: From Khartoum to Annapolis with self-hating Zionists - The Zionist Hamas is saying "No peace, no negotiations, no recognition." Is it a plot to discredit and demonize Zionism??

The Real McCarthyism - Who the leader of the club that's made for the witch hunters? Who is ringleading the real McCarthyism with allegations of Mossad agents in the Department of Defense? Is it "international Zionism" as Larry Cohler-Esses implies?

Annapolis prospects: Bad vibes for Israeli-Palestinian peace from analysts - Poised on a precipice, and about to take a great step forward.

Islam and the scientific revolution - a critique - Are Muslim countries really backward because of their religion?

The Zionist "Pain in the Neck" - Rafsanjani - Iranian "moderate" in Western media - A virulent racist is portrayed as "relatively moderate" and his outrageous remarks are largely ignored by Western media.
