The San Bernardino terrorist attack was the deadliest on U.S. soil since 9/11. The aftermath elicited many responses from political candidates, the harshest coming from the Trump campaign.  A press release issued by Trump officials calls for a controversial move: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the…

An Islamic revolution is on the brink of becoming America’s greatest threat since the Civil War. In light of recent Paris attacks by ISIS, few would doubt the veracity of such a statement. The people of Paris have experienced the worst attack since World War II. Even as the terrorist attacks were playing out across…

Recently my good friend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama. Looking at the photographs from the photo op, one would think it was a wonderful meeting, but pictures can be deceiving. The purpose of the meeting was for the prime minister to attempt to persuade the president to renew a ten-year military…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama have had another face-to-face meeting in Washington, D.C. No Israeli prime minister and U.S. president have come from such vastly different ideological world views and the two men have just concluded the biggest battle over Iran any U.S. president and Israeli prime minister have ever fought. The…

Blaming the victims, holding them accountable in an abusive situation has long been the power-play of abusers. Victims are deemed responsible for their own oppression and abuse. If that seems absurd, one only has to look at a recent diatribe by Fox contributor, Dr. Ben Carson, who wrote in his book, A More Perfect Union:…

When the sun set over Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2009 it also set on what had been a warm and friendly relationship between the U.S. and Israel. From the time President Harry S Truman acknowledged the formation of the reborn State of Israel in 1949, the two countries have enjoyed a special détente. The…

On December 24, 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. It became an imbroglio for the Superpower that was driven back within its own borders in ignominious defeat. The Russians were so determined not to acknowledge their defeat that they christened the plane carrying the coffins of their young soldiers back to mother Russia in the bowels…

Unfounded rumors regarding an Israeli takeover of the Temple Mount have sparked a new wave of terror attacks in Israel, both inside and outside Jerusalem. Such inaccurate information was exacerbated when Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, erroneously claimed that a 13-year-old Palestinian child had been “executed” by the Israeli police. The truth is much less…

There is no question that Hezbollah is a well-armed and funded proxy of Iran. General Yahya Rahim Safavi, military adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued warnings to Israel last week. He cautioned that Hezbollah and its allies in the region have some 80,000 rockets aimed at Tel Aviv and Haifa and are ready to retaliate…

The past two weeks of August have seen Israel and Hezbollah exchanging rocket fire across Israel’s northern Lebanese border. The clashes between the two enemies have raised the specter of a renewed war. Syria is mired in a messy internal fracas between President Bashar Assad and rebels who desire his demise. On the fringe are…

The announcement earlier this week that the UN had proffered a plan that allows Iran to inspect its own site at Parchin was akin to placing the fox in charge of the henhouse. It further agitated already disconcerted U.S. and Israeli critics of the initial agreement inked in July by the UN Security Council’s five…

He ran on “hope and change” as a liberal Democrat and the anti-war candidate. He refused to see radical Islam as a threat. Instead, he paved the yellow brick road with billions of dollars of relief for America’s greatest enemy, Iran. He was a moral relativist who rejected absolute standards of good and evil, right…

Why is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu risking all his political capital with the Obama administration, and for that matter, the entire world over Iran? Israel has always planned to bomb Iran if it crosses the red line. Netanyahu made that very clear at his United Nations speech on September 27, 2010. Almost three years ago,…

Hours ago, Secretary of State John Kerry, with the approval of President Barack Obama, signed a deal with the Iranians that will open wide the door for Iran to regain its superpower status in the Middle East. President Obama was jubilant in yet another effort to establish a legacy for his presidency that places the…

Two people grow up in the United States of America—one in the southeast, the other in the northeast. One young man is exposed early on to the hatred of Blacks and Jews; the other is apparently self-taught. His hatred assumed the cloak of a murderous rampage during which he took the lives of nine innocent…
