http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Analysis-A-warning-to-Tehran-412953 The swift Israeli reaction on Thursday and Friday to the launching of four rockets from Syria at the Galilee and Golan shows how deep is the Israeli intelligence penetration of Iran’s military. It was not the first time that precise and updated intelligence data enabled Israel to prevent terrorist attacks from Syria sponsored by […]
“My answer, as always, is to counter the boycott with a buy-cott, favoring blue-and-white products.If individual BDS supporters feel compelled to boycott all Israeli cultural, medical and technological developments that’s their right, even if their lives will be poorer, shorter and more miserable as a result.”
“All my life I’ve been waiting for I’ve been praying for For the people to say That we don’t wanna fight no more There will be no more wars And our children will play…”– “One Day” performed by Matisyahu
The lyrics might seem innocuous – pro-peace and world harmony, even – but hip-hop singer Matisyahu who performs them was singled out as being out of tune with the message of an annual music festival in Benicassim, near Valencia in Spain. As The Jerusalem Post’s Herb Keinon put it: “If you plan on going to the Sunsplash Rototom Reggae Festival in Spain this week, you better not speak the language of the Hebrewman. If you do, they might kick you out.”
Matisyahu’s sin was being Jewish. The well-known singer shot to fame while he was still an ultra-Orthodox Jew with a distinct hassidic look. He shaved off his sidecurls and beard and dropped the haredi garb several years ago, but he is still a proud Jew: an American Jew; not an Israeli.
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/As-I-see-it-Israel-and-the-culture-wars-412786 The banning of rapper Matisyahu by the Sunsplash reggae festival in Spain – subsequently rescinded after protests – was an “aha!” moment. After pressure from the Israel-bashing Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, the festival organizers disinvited the singer because he refused to support “the right of Palestinians to have their own state.” Matisyahu is, […]
Obama’s ISIS Legacy* Presidential candidate and billionaire businessman Donald Trump has the right idea regarding how to stop ISIS. “I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary source of their wealth, which is oil,” he told MSNBC. A year into it, the United States-led daily air campaign against the Islamic State in […]
Why Progressives Are Wrong to Revere Margaret Sanger
Margaret Sanger is a saint in the feminist church. She is a charter member of the progressive hall of fame. Liberals revere this woman who preached “race improvement” and denounced what she called “human weeds”.
Hillary Clinton glows that she is “in awe of” Sanger. She said so in 2009 upon receiving Planned Parenthood’s “highest honor” that year: its coveted Margaret Sanger Award.
Likewise effusive was Nancy Pelosi when she proudly accepted the award in 2014.

Speaking to Planned Parenthood a year earlier, President Barack Obama, hailed the organization founded by this racial eugenicist committed to creating a “race of thoroughbreds” and purging America’s “race of degenerates.”
“Thank you, Planned Parenthood,” and “God bless you,” said Obama to a giddy crowd of ecstatic women. The president commended Planned Parenthood’s “extraordinary” and “remarkable work,” and told the women they do a “great, great job.”
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/democratic-blues-121561.html#.Vdi8_5d1bYi As historians begin to assess Barack Obama’s record as president, there’s at least one legacy he’ll leave that will indeed be historic—but not in the way he would have hoped. Even as Democrats look favorably ahead to the presidential landscape of 2016, the strength in the Electoral College belies huge losses across much of […]

“It is up to us — Israelis and Jews around the world — to do everything possible to help injured veterans deal with their experiences and get onto the right path,” says Lt. Ohad Roisblatt, who lost seven of his soldiers during Operation Protective Edge.
A year after he was injured in the devastating armored personnel carrier disaster in Shujaiyyah that claimed the lives of seven of his soldiers, Lt. Ohad Roisblatt has put on his IDF uniform once again, this time as a commander at a military boarding school in Haifa.
Roisblatt was initially discharged from the army due to the injuries he suffered when an anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade hit his APC during Operation Protective Edge last summer.
