Two narratives are at war on the same, slim and holy piece of land. Forget about coexistence. Israel’s problems stem from a guilt complex. The Jewish people are, I believe, the chosen people, but are subjected to brainwashing by a small group of guilt-ridden personalities, including most of the politicians and almost all of
America and England were enemies of Stalin, but cooperated with him. In World War 2, Hitler's Axis occupied Europe, and was not remotely on the cusp of obtaining an arsenal of nuclear weapons. Today, the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah evil axis has occupied most of the Mesopotamian Middle East, and its vast oil reserves. Only Saudi Arabia
The abject failure of the Oslo Accords, with over a thousand deaths its tangible result, has had a sobering effect on Israeli society. The Oslo process – started between Israel and the Palestinians 20 years ago – clearly failed to bring a resolution to the conflict, and did not result in a peaceful coexistence
Mr. President, the terrible fix you find yourself in is the predictable result of your own making. You showed vacillation and weakness at every turn. And the thugs are watching. The civilized world witnessed in revulsion the graphic images, which emerged showing the aftermath of a dawn poison gas attack in the suburbs of
The Syrian Free Army is acting predictably - albeit suicidally - if one remembers who they really are. As far as Israel is concerned, both sides in the Syrian conflict are a disaster. The swift agreement between Russia and America to collect and destroy Syria's chemical weapons has been an impressive diplomatic achievement -
U.S. President Obama is in the midst of seeking Congressional approval for a limited military strike against the Syrian government in response to evidence that it used chemical weapons.

As a Jewish security-essayist who for 18 months has vigorously argued for US lethal support for the Syrian Rebels, I say AIPAC is courting disaster in actively lobbying for the Congressional resolution for a US Syria attack. What's worse, I believe AIPAC is writing Israel's death warrant. At the outset, I want to make
Obama may be starting a process whose end result will be out of control. As a U.S. military strike in Syria looms, three high-profile commentators warn that it may lead to “the next World War.” They include syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Dr. Charles Krauthammer, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck
Any vote by Congress for unilateral action would be fraught with difficulty and possibly invite retaliation on a massive scale. President Obama has tripped over his own red line - leaving the prestige and authority of his Office and America's reputation in tatters. The President's statement last year on the possible use of chemical
The recently discovered 1979 newspaper article by Vernon Jarrett – the father-in-law of senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, opens a new dimension to understanding Obama’s youth, as Vernon Jarrett was a close friend of Obama’s Communist Party-activist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. The connections were not lost on Joel Gilbert, the filmmaker whose documentary
