Rocking Obama’s World


Crises are exploding throughout the world. And the leader of the free world is making things worse.   On the Korean peninsula, North Korea just upended eight years of State Department obfuscation by showing a team of US nuclear scientists its collection of thousands of state-of-the-art centrifuges installed in its Yongbyon nuclear reactor.   And just to top off the show,…

Facing our fears


US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must have given Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu quite a reception. Otherwise it is hard to understand what possessed him to accept the deal he accepted when he met with her last week.   Under the deal, Netanyahu agreed to retroactively extend the Jewish construction ban ended on September 26 and to carry it forward…

Out of South Africa


Last month I was invited to South Africa by the South African Zionist Federation. The visit, my first to the country, opened my eyes to the daunting challenges facing the country and its dwindling Jewish community of 70,000 16 years after the end of the apartheid regime.   South Africa is a country of paradoxes. On the one hand, it…

And Israel is getting burned.  Over the past week, it has been widely reported that the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government are conducting secret negotiations regarding future Israeli land surrenders to the Palestinians in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem.

The forgotten victims of “peace”


Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin’s assasination.    As happens every year, the Left marked the day by talking about Rabin’s wonderful legacy of peace and how if he had been alive there would be peace today.    Everyone forgets to mention that when he was killed Rabin was reconsidering the entire Oslo process due to the massive…
