Read Article 2) Posted Nov 09 2011 Occupied Territory By Ziona Greenwald Ever since a light bulb went off in Yasir Arafat's head and the idea of a Palestinian people was born, Israel has become known to the world as an "occupier." The narrative of occupation, despite being a complete fiction, has turned the founding of modern Israel from a miraculous story of Jewish rebirth into a sordid genocidal project. Read Article 3) Posted Nov 09 2011 America Can Prosecute Terrorists Freed By Israel By Nathan Lewin On August 9, 2001, Ahlam Tamimi, a member of Hamas, drove a suicide bomber to the Sbarro restaurant in the heart of Jerusalem, where the bomber blew himself up, killing 15 people including Judy Greenbaum, an American citizen from New Jersey. Read Article 4) Posted Nov 09 2011 How The Media Can Help Heal Gilad Shalit By Dr. Irit Felsen For five long years, a media campaign swirled around the abduction and internment of Gilad Shalit, gaining momentum with every passing day. Without a doubt, it was the media that helped keep his story alive and contributed significantly to his release, creating public pressure in favor of the historic (though unsettling) exchange of over one thousand convicted terrorists for Gilad's freedom. Read Article 5) Posted Nov 09 2011 Flip-Flop To Victory By Arnold S. Mazur Beginning with Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, major party nominations and presidential election campaigns have increasingly been subjected to forms of circus television we carelessly label "debates." Read Article 6) Posted Nov 02 2011 A Tale Of Two Movements By Sara Lehmann Like many other families this past Sukkos, my husband and I took the kids to the park over Chol Hamoed. But we left our mitts and bats in the car when we arrived. This was a trip to Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. Read Article 7) Posted Nov 02 2011 Where Did You Travel On Rosh Hashanah? By Rabbi Akiva Males On the first day of this past Rosh Hashanah, I visited Milwaukee while my wife, Layala, traveled back to the shul of her youth in Brooklyn. When we met up later in the day for Yom Tov lunch at our Harrisburg, Pennsylvania home, we had a number of experiences to share with each other. Read Article 8) Posted Nov 02 2011 Staying Silent About Arab State Terrorism By Manfred Gerstenfeld Threatening civilians is a traditional mode of state terrorism in parts of the Muslim world. A second type of state terrorism - the murderous one - has increased significantly. Read Article 9) Posted Nov 02 2011 Why Don't Israelis Revolt? By Elliot Resnick, Jewish Press Staff Reporter The Middle East is ablaze with political revolution. Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Syria - the list of countries keeps growing. All is quiet, however, on the Israeli front. The question is: Why? Read Article 10) Posted Oct 26 2011 A Nation Held Hostage By Jerold S. Auerbach With Sgt. Gilad Shalit safely returned in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian terrorists and murderers, celebration - propelled by wishful avoidance - spread throughout Israel. Read Article 11) Posted Oct 26 2011 A Time To Laugh - And To Be Proud By Elke Weiss Information spreads like wildfire. "Gilad Shalit is home," my friend e-mailed me happily as soon as he heard the news. He isn't Jewish or a even a Zionist, but the kidnapping of someone our age moved him enough to track the case. Read Article 12) Posted Oct 26 2011 Long-Delayed Death Of A Bad Dude By Dr. Paul Kengor In the 1980s, I was an unrefined adolescent from blue-collar Butler, Pennsylvania. I knew nothing and cared nothing about politics. I had no idea if I was a conservative or a liberal, Democrat or Republican, or much of anything else. Read Article 13) Posted Oct 26 2011 Skewing The Shalit Deal, New York Times-Style By David Harris I've been reading The New York Times pretty much every single day since I was ten years old. That's more than a half-century by now. Read Article 14) Posted Oct 18 2011 A Thousand Arabs For One Jew By Dov Gilor I have three grandsons serving in the Israel Defense Forces. If any one of them were, God forbid, captured, I would demand that every Arab murderer be set free so that my grandson would come home alive and well. I would demonstrate, argue, demand, organize marches, cry, fight, and scream that my grandson be freed. Read Article 15) Posted Oct 18 2011 Turning Holocaust Remembrance Into Israel Bashing By Benjamin Weinthal The German Holocaust foundation Remembrance, Responsibility, Future - EVZ - is in a state of denial concerning misuse of public funds meant to largely compensate the victims of the Shoah but used instead to finance anti-Semitic student exchange programs in Israel and Germany. Read Article 16) Posted Oct 18 2011 The Disingenuousness Of Divestment By Richard L. Cravatts, Ph.D. The recent call by NYU's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for TIAA-CREF to divest holdings in targeted companies doing business in Israel is part of a troubling trend that exposes dangerous radicalism on campuses disguised as efforts at achieving social justice. Read Article 17) Posted Oct 18 2011 Execute Terrorists On The Spot By Steven Plaut It is perhaps the ultimate irony that the Bus 300 affair recently popped up again in the Israeli media just days after the al-Qaeda terrorist with the U.S. passport, Anwar al-Awlaki, was liquidated by a drone in Yemen, and shortly before the Netanyahu government agreed to release more than a thousand terrorists for the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Read Article 18) Posted Oct 18 2011 Christian Supporters Of Israel Deserve Our Respect And Love By Rabbi Eliezer Melamed In recent times we have witnessed increasing support for Israel on the part of evangelical Christians. They view the establishment of the State of Israel as the miraculous fulfillment of the vision of the biblical prophets. Read Article 19) Posted Oct 16 2011 Remembering Hanan Porat By Jerold S. Auerbach In May 1967 Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook spoke to his former Mercaz HaRav students at their annual Independence Day reunion in Jerusalem. Usually a festive day of celebration, this year was different. Rabbi Kook sorrowfully recalled his feeling of despair nineteen years earlier, when the State of Israel was born: "I was torn to pieces. I could not celebrate." Suddenly he cried out: "They have divided my land. Where is our Hebron? Have we forgotten it? And where is our Shechem? And our Jericho - will we forget them?" Read Article 20) Posted Oct 16 2011 Times Columnist Kristof Shows His True Colors By Ed Koch I read Nicholas D. Kristof's New York Times column of October 6 with its headline "Is Israel Its Own Worst Enemy?" and concluded on finishing it that it is Kristof who is truly an enemy of Israel.
