The best approach is to not fully defeat ISIS but limit them to a small strategic spot in the Middle East – one chosen by us. One of the major obsessions in the current US presidential campaign is with defeating Islamic State or, as Donald Trump says, “defeating radical Islam.” It is impossible to defeat…

Shortly after 4:00 a.m. on Inauguration Day, January 20, 1981, the administration of then-president Jimmy Carter relinquished $7.977 billion to the Iranians. According to one source, the transfer required 14 banks and the participation of five nations acting concurrently. When Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Iran on February 1, 1979, it was with the unbridled…

It appears now that the Russians are making a bold attempt to get a finger in the US election pie. We will see who comes up with the plum when the polls close on November 8, 2016. Confusion, last week thought to be a poster child of the Republican National Convention, has found a fissure…

Hours before the driver of a large truck mowed down more than one hundred unsuspecting citizens in a terror attack in France, James Comey, director of the FBI, appeared before the House Homeland Security Committee. According to Comey, vigilance is vital as lone wolf Islamic State infidels seek ways and means to wreak havoc worldwide.…

America celebrates Independence Day, by far the most important national holiday of the year in the United States. It commemorates the birth of the nation and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, with fireworks, picnics, concerts, parades, political speeches and ceremonies. It is a day of patriotism and the largest…

A single shooter made history early Sunday morning in Orlando, Florida when he entered a gay night club and opened fire with an assault rifle. When the carnage ended, fifty-three had been wounded and fifty people lay dead, including the Islamic terrorist, Omar Mateen. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called for the resignation of…

The upcoming presidential election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton seems to carry with it the presumption that the Republican Party is better for Israel and the Middle East. That is not necessarily factual. Ronald Wilson Reagan was a great president of the United States—but not when it came to his dealings with…

The calm of a Wednesday afternoon in an upscale restaurant at the Sarona Market in Tel Aviv was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Two well-dressed men rose determinedly from the table at which they sat and opened fire on the unsuspecting patrons killing four and seriously wounding five others. One of the two perpetrators…

One of the men highlighted at the new Friends of Zion Heritage Center and museum is John Henry Patterson, godfather of the late Jonathan Netanyahu, brother of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  In the elder Netanyahu’s home a silver cup with the inscription, “To my Godson, Jonathan Netanyahu,” held a special place. Patterson was born in…

Revelations earlier this month indicate that the Obama administration began the Iran nuclear arms negotiations, not as first indicated—in 2013 after the elections of more “moderate” Iranians—but in 2011 under the presidency of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This admission was made after a section of missing video from the 2013 press conference was found announcing the…

With U.S. presidential elections in the offing, the question has become: What will the future hold for Israel and the U.S.? To answer that, one must first take a look at conditions in the Middle East today where a devastating collapse has taken place since the wishful days of the Arab Spring. Those revolutions wreaked…

The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations reiterated late last year that he would exercise “other options” if a Palestinian state was not recognized by November 2016. After decades of suicide bombers blowing up Jews, attacks on innocent civilians in cities, and rockets lobbed into Israel, one does not have to guess what “other options”…

President Barack Obama has only a few months left in the White House. Meanwhile, the Israeli government is waiting to hear if Mr. Obama will okay a new memorandum of understanding military package that would send billions to Israel in aid. This is exacerbated by the anxiety surrounding a possible UN vote on the status…

The United States of America has been fighting wars in the Middle East for a decade and a half. The price tag for those wars, predominately in Iraq and Afghanistan, has surpassed the figure of $1.7 trillion dollars. The war with radical Islam has not been won, and could, indeed, continue for decades. The United…

Palestinian terrorists struck at the heart of Israel on April 18 when a bus was blown up on the Hebron Road in the southern region of Jerusalem. The explosion caused another bus nearby to also catch fire. At least twenty people were maimed in the explosion, many seriously. Following the blast, journalist and television producer…

Part I “Whereby are given unto us exceedingly great and precious promises that by these ye might be a partaker of the divine nature; having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”  II Peter 1:4. During my recent trip to Jerusalem, I sat on a large stone beside an ancient olive tree on…

The Apostle Paul said in the ages to come we would see the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing greatness of God’s favor. That’s the day you are living in. I want you to get your hopes up. I want you to enlarge your vision. What God has for you in your future is greater than anything that’s…

Does anyone remember the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore? It all came down to the Electoral College. Gore won the popular vote. That battle was played out in the State of Florida, and one of the attorneys on the team was Ted Cruz. He walked a stack of papers to a…

The 2016 Christ at the Checkpoint rally, sponsored this year by the Bethlehem Bible School, has birthed another controversial tweet by Evangelical author, Hank Hanegraaff. He wrote, “The holy land, holy city and holy temple have historical significance, but no longer have theological significance.” With only a cursory glance at the locale and title of…

When the topic of Jesus and the End Times is introduced, one would expect it to originate with Evangelical Christians. It is, rather, coming from ISIS. The music emanating from the flute of the ISIS snake charmer is prophecy, the End Times and Jesus. The House of Islam, ISIS, has raised its black apocalyptic banner of…

No Republican presidential candidate debate would be complete without a lecture on radical Islam. The narrative is that if you are a liberal, an Obama or Hillary lover, you will not utter the phrase “radical Islam.” It implies that America should be at war with radical Islam. I am a proud Republican, but after forty…

In 2013, the mouth of hell opened and disgorged a new terror group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. First known as ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, it quickly spread its deadly tentacles even farther. The group morphed into ISIL, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and now has been shortened to IS…

A new record was set in Germany in one month in August 2015: The number of emigrants from Syria reached 104,460. It brought a yearly total of 415, 535 immigrants seeking political asylum in a European country. By the end of the year, that total could reach approximately 800,000 in one country alone. Some pundits…
